Galvez88 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 It would be very nice and real that not only in battles would the crew be seen, for example on our trips to see the crew on the boat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Farseer Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 So far too much strain on the system with more visible crew. The game will need a lot of optimisation before that can be even thought about adding. Imagine several thousand animated crewmen in larger fights... Bye bye framrate. Not happening too soon, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happening too soon, if at all. well, an argument could be to drop the crews underdeck on the lineships, but have only the ones on the open deck and in the rigging visible, and anyway the crew that are visualized today are way to big, they look like giants Edited May 23, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Farseer Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just now, Wyy said: well, an argument could be to drop the crews underdeck on the lineships, but have only the ones on the open deck and in the rigging visible, and anyway the crew that are visualized today are way to big, they look like giants True. Though everything 3rd rate and above has more than 100 crew on sailing duty alone. And probably another 50+ on the weather deck guns, if I am not mistaken. A battle of fifty first rates would probably still turn your PC into a pretty bonfire^^ I'd love to see more crew as much as anyone, but for now it is probably a good thing that this is not high on the priority list^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus MacDuff Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 At least the Captain on the quarterdeck with maybe a choice of uniforms (for Pirates at least). Your avatar? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cetric de Cornusiac Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I once proposed even a movable captain figure with some effect on the station he would stand at. Got me accused of 'arcade game' for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim McSauce Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Look if Total War can do crew not only fully modeled but AI'd for boarding, grappling, firing all the cannons NA can do visual crew. Next time you sail look at your crew, they literally are 3 meter giants playing the same 6 second animation over again and we don't even have all the open deck cannons manned for this embarrassment, it's pathetic looking, I'll take the 2 fps hit to have crew on my ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
