because you believe it helps, like a cross people wear. It will effect a person and a person will react more (aggressive or faster in this game situation), knowing a mythical force is protecting him... )) ex. I went to this weird island and a shaman offered me a mission that would unlock an option to purchase items from him (like in GW2, clear area from enemy and receive weapons from a soldier) he then sold me an item that supposed to protect me and my ship, crew during battle. (+5% crew defense +5% reload)..why not? why not make it more interesting? do not stick to 100% reality... we will have all types of players...

hmmm... cannon spread, I thought it was accuracy... no? the closer it is together the more accurate u shoot? the more it is spread the less accuracy and shots you get on the target... so you can not spread fire, you can only make more shots miss the target.. am I correct?

this boat is great! I hope something like this can be used when going on land...

Luck - bonus (+5% to all stats) for example. Luck can simply be added to each character (item piece) it will be triggered randomly during battle. ex. Captain: Long Horn lvl 30. Gunnery: 3/10 Speech: 5/10 Sailing: 6/10 Luck: +5% (+5% to all stats once triggered) Luck can be obtained from : Avatar item(necklace, ring etc) or ship item (figurehead, a statue etc) Good idea! I can see it in the game with no problems.

I thought Vanguard was longer...Why they do not want many ships? On, the other hand, Potbs team is dumb, they could have made millions just on ships... I will pay for new ships and 100s will do too... same ship gets boring. I hope Naval Action will beat Potbs in ship quantity!~))

Please!!! I want my Favorite ship! EVERYONE VOTE ON THIS!)))) http://makemodels.eu/victory/vanguard5.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/Vanguard_pl.jpg never made in a game...((

1. Have wind shift its direction every 10-20 mins during battle. (lottery type, never know when it will change and how often) This way players will have to change and adapt tactics and sailing direction. You can also, try to program it in your favor or the way you need all players to be. Have them start the with X wind and then slowly direct the wind using programmed timer to position them closer to a port etc. 2. Turning through the wind is bad atm, it should be faster! We do not need long time and boring turns, we need action! 3. Fine tune turn and make it more aggressive like in Potbs. Adjust armor with resistance and damage reduction? to keep the player alive longer? 4. Ok you have to ask yourself, do I need collision damage or not? if yes it will be bad end of story. As I said before we are fighting and not watching what is under our ship. If ship gets closer to a land , simply add a slow mo effect where player will have to turn around to avoid running the ground (not using landing mode). Have ships bump each other , but not make damage. OR have very light damage since you got a friendly fire ON. If you want to land your troops on a land have a switch (landing mode) player will have to switch to that mode in order to land, same for boarding.... 5. Remove collision damage. ))

20 миль = 1 час игри 1 час игри = 2 минути реального времени путь от Кале до Шербура примет: 7,3 игровых часa или 14,6 минути реального времени с хорошим ветром, и 21,9 минут с плохим. хороший ветер 7.3x2 = 14,6, где (1.0x7 0,3 = 7,3). плохой ветер 10.95x2 = 21,9, где (1.5x7 0,45 = 10,95) Для плохого ветра, я просто увеличел 20mi/час от 1,0 -> 1,5 если есть шторм или плохая погода , штраф к скорости в открытом море -10%.

Photoshop

This one is very bad..I do not want to see the same here in this game...

Yes, something like this, where you can see hull.

Suggested, you can see ship hull underwater...(ripple effect would be nice)

Current effect, we do not see ship hull underwater...

I hope you guys can have options for high end gamers like me to get the best graphics possible. ))

Second for sure! Suggestion!! Why not combine all those icons into 1?, when same forces are close together. (This will clear up all this icon chaos on the screen). I call it molecule effect: Here is an example, Instead 4 icons have 1 big with small number next to it to tell a player how many squads are in there. Ever watched bubbles separate or combine? have same here with icons and total score combined.
