    I recall a passage from one of the O'Brien novels where HMS Surprise was travelling with large and strong waves. Aubrey mentions a condition in which the ship can be 'pooped,' that is, if one of the pursuing waves strike the ship's stern correctly, the ship turns it so that the next wave hits the ship broadside-on, and then that wave and subsequent ones swamp the ship entirely.

    If I skim-red correctly, the Agamemnon was beset by rogue waves?

    In terms of language, there will be some English speakers in every faction, but they vastly speak the language of that faction. I know that the Dutch have quite a few english-speaking or bilingual members, I can't speak for France, Denmark, or Spain because I don't really talk to them so much as shout obsceneties over broadsides. Honest advice- just pick the nation you like the most, and think you'll have the most fun with. If it doesn't work out, you can always switch.

    You already posted a tribunal about this individual earlier and were told to report him in-game, as chat matters aren't constituent of a tribunal offence. I will state it again before the inevitable thread lockdown. These exist for a reason.

    For those who asked for it- the unadulterated version of the Castries video:

    That's spooky.

    The structure of the forum ranks differ slightly from the in-game ranks, for some reason midshipman is lower than ensign (which in the time period was not a naval rank for Britian [and still isn't], but a junior army officer rank equivalent to the modern day second lieutenant)

    'The Chimera,' James Bond: Skyfall OST I'll see if I have the unedited footage on my computer still.

    This was one of my favourite ships in Burning Sea, would love to see it added into Naval Action.

    Ragnar's not been on since October, unfortunately. This ship is shaping up very nicely, excellent work!

    Thanks, I'm glad I've been somewhat able to encapsulate how nice the game can be to just look at. If you're interested, I've uploaded another video with a section of footage in the same style, albeit with more actual combat this time, and will include a link.

    Just wanted to give a shout out to French captain Totalnoobness for a great brawl southwest of Fort Royal this evening. It was refreshing to have an even biff and a calm discussion about the sailing merits of various ships as we traded broadsides.

    While screening can have its merits, I was really looking forward to a good brawl. I even brought my special cannonballs with nasty slurs engraved in them in French.

    Castries this afternoon. There was absolutely no fight at all (unfortunately) so I just spliced some pretty footage of ships sailing around.

    Hmm, that's strange. The map in-game still shows Savannah and Santo Domingo as being controlled by the US. Looks like your memes on the forums don't help your alliance's war effort at all.

    Not a good fight so much as a look at the Dutch/British/American allied screening fleet this afternoon at Orinoco.
