Feel free to tell us what you think. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks to your support, we were able to add ground battles to the Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail. The game now contains ten battles introducing naval, landing and land missions of the future game, which makes it more than six hours of gameplay. The build offers two new land battles. You can play the mission “Snakes and Powder” in raining jungles and the Battle of Bunker Hill. The mission “Snakes and Powder” is a typical land mission in the campaign. Your troops are tasked to collect resources that are required to supply your fleet. You have not received any news for the past three days. There is a reported activity of the Spanish army in the area. Your goal is to investigate what happened with your people and reacquire supplies. The Battle of Bunker Hill is a battle from the USA campaign. On June 16, 1775, the British attempted to break the American defensive line by attacking the militia's fortified positions at a hill. The defeat of the British in this assault demonstrated the inability of the British to break the American siege. Though neither side could gain ground in land battle, time favored the British. Thanks to the Royal Navy and its command of the sea, the British army could be supplied and reinforced at will. The Americans, on the other hand, soon found themselves without food or ammunition necessary to hold their positions. Six months after the battle, Washington's Navy consisted of eleven vessels captured about fifty-five prizes and provided much-needed supplies to the troops. New naval battle "Fireworks" is added and introduces fireship's mechanic. You can reassemble an old or outdated ship transforming it into a "torpedo". The crew can ignite the fireship and direct it toward the target though it is necessary to predict the course and time of the impact. Otherwise, the target will dodge, or the fireship will explode without reaching the target. Patch notes v0.4.5 rev.31133 BB3: · Multiple fixes in AI and unit behavior. There are still several issues, and we will continue to fix them. · We improved controls and fixed problems with unit navigation with even more fixes to follow in the future. · Graphics improvements were made for the new and old battles, and additional graphics settings are added.

It is known issue. Next patch will fix the issue. Thank you for the report.

Thank you for feedback.

Did the installation be finished? Do you see progress bar showing downloading of the game?

It must run, especially existing naval battles. We are going to focus on optimization when Backer Build Three is released. Massive land battles mostly depend on CPU frequency now. Regarding refund politics - any refund request considered individually.

Yes, there will be forts.
