    Try taking direct control of one or more ships. Navigating, manually firing broadsides etc, I had a great time playing with it. Reminded me of Pirates!, which is no bad thing :)

    Oh they're lovely looking no doubt and fun the first couple of times... i mean graphically they're perfect, it's just... after 3 or 4 battles, they stop being fun, they become boring. Like i would put them under AI control and watch the battles because they're so nice looking, but i wouldn't play them.

    Well the battle in the demo is a little biased towards the player...

    You have one 1st rate, one 2nd rate, two 3rd rates and two 4th rates, they have six 3rd rates and one 4th rate in two groups with only four 3rd rates close to you are the start... As long as you dont mess up you should win everytime...
