Fleet Organization

[mitth'raw'nuruodo]

Will there be fleet organization? (like the corps > division > brigade structure in UGCW).  It is noticeably missing in the previews.

I hope as the player character gets promoted, he can command multiple flotillas / columns of 5 - 10 ships each with its own commander. We should be able to give broad formation commands to the flotillas instead of micromanging each ship.

Realistic details like that there is why I loved UGCW. Please do not dumb it down like Total War.

This is the order of battle of Trafalgar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_battle_at_the_Battle_of_Trafalgar
This is what the player's fleet should look like at the late campaign stage. The armies in UGCW looked very much like the real thing, I don't see why not do the same here.

Player will organize his fleet in moment of deployment.

What is that? You mean choosing which ships to deploy? That has very little to do with what I was asking

I am talking about organisational structure, order of battle, chain of command etc - something that has been a fundamental part of warfare throughout the ages. Like the Trafalgar example in my post. Like the attached screen from your previous game.
