What would you like to see in an Add-on

The Art department has certainly my sympathy in longing for a new challange for their creativity, but I love to see the TW games grounded in a time and a space where a charge with cold steel or weapon has still value.

The art department already kicked shields out of the series and most forms of armor. They can live with having to figure out how to paint cannons for a year or two.

If the art department want a real challenge they should do a fantasy game next. That allows for complete creative freedom.

If they want a challenge currently then they can try and focus on making sure ships don't all look the same. Because at the moment they all look disappointingly similar in terms of colours.

Careful what you wish for, this is CA and if your not careful you could end up seeing british ships in redcoat uniform colors

I can see it now. Britain's bright red and white warships vs. the bright neon orange Dutch fleet.

Naval warfare would never have been so colourful.

I hope they add asia to the map and have a campaign from 1800-1890. I think the whole of South america and africa are on the campaign map already (i saw a screenshot of one or both of the two) So no need to add them.

Why hasn’t anyone wanted the rest of Africa added? It is just a trade theater for now and only has naval units, as I understand it. Look at all of the colonies you are missing out on, not to mention all the wars and revolts you are missing out on. Of course most of your units should die of diseases before they take the field, but that is just part of the logistics of the theater.

And what about St. Helena Is,? ;)

Have you ever heard of grapeshot?

whether they paint the British ships red or not, there was certainly alot of red splashed about.

I have most definitely heard of grapeshot, and I'm looking forward to my 60 gun broadsides mincing enemy troops like a huge water-bourne sawn-off shotgun.

Actually historically British ships were painted in a reasonably colourful black and yellow striped colour scheme, but I believe this was only after the Battle of Trafalgar, so it falls outside of Empire's time frame.

Heh, I wasn't seriously suggesting they do :P But you have to agree there is no better setting if the artists at CA want to let their creative juices flow.
