The Deep Blue Sea

Do we have any information on how naval combat will be dealt with? Will it be like MTW, or can we expect something more?

Movement around the sea in RTW will be very different from MTW and much less abstract.

It will in fact reflect more closely the problems of naval movement, combat and troop transportation in the ancient world. It will be anything but "risk free".

Storms will sink your ships, battles will damage your fleets, and armies can be lost at sea. Transport is not instant from point A to point B. The coast is your friend.

Did anybody see any screens or artworks of ships in RTW?

My troops may be end up hiking from point a to b...unless of course the developers see fit to introduce Mud and washed out roads...

May they not read this.
