LeBoiteux Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I really wonder what the timeframe will be : wide like NA : 1680-1820 medium : say the Anglo-French war or the Napoleonic wars or even narrower like the French campaign in Egypt and Syria (1798-1801) and how many playable nations there will be. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be scope for expanding on these two figures to include a more generalised campaigns in the future, say following for example the 7 years war rather than specific historic figures and their personal service? This all sounds very promising, I can't wait to hear more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this be the entirety of the game, outside of set-piece "custom" battles? Just wondering if there will be something a little more dynamic/sandboxy than the UG:CW experience, for replayability's sake. Still excited, either way.

It will get more dynamic than UG:CW, but still not global map/sandbox. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one would have prefered a 'generic' career vaguely inspired by the lives of several admirals, where you could choose your nationality (French, Russian, Barbary pirates...), your enemy, the goal and the location of the battle/war/campaign, say from a list (besiege Toulon like in 1793, raids on coastal villages if you"re a pirate, conquer Malta...), maybe even the name of your character, etc. However I perfectly understand that the Ultimate series are focused on History, realism and reenacting real battles with real historical figures. Only anglo-saxon Admirals ? Are they the only admirable Admirals ? 🙂 Edited December 14, 2018 by LeBoiteux 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a campaign for US Constitution. That is a fun ship to sail the open waters with. And, yes, only Anglo-American fleets matter. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
