Ah, no... it wasn't. Not like that. Do you know anything about sailing?

There is impact blood & ragdoll
Destructible rigging
A steam ship in there
Individual ship names (hope that carries over to the land units!)
Cannon trails look a bit silly
Water looks very good
Generally looks very promising.
That's just eye candy. Is that all we're looking for in a game like this? If the ships don't move like real sailing ships, then what's the point?

Would the hardcore land battle enthusiasts accept a gross distortion in the way armies can maneuver? In sailing terms, what they're showing in some of those clips is the equivalent of infantry having the same movement speed as cavalry.
