Dude! I am an avid fan of the Total War series(except for Rome 2 Agh! Total Fail, it should be called!) and their naval warfare is what has drawn my interest in it. I have never seen any other game come close to the feel of what TW brings to age of sail warfare, until NA.
NA, from what I am seeing, has the potential to signifigantly out perform TW on this concept.
Can you name any other game that is any better, at this time?
Please name them and I will check them out, but I believe that NA is going to be the one that out does TW on this.
