The game is coming out in only about a week. And we know that amphibious operations are not included, because ships don’t interact with the land.
We know troops can disembark from ships though. I think it is a shame we cannot disembark crews and Marines from ships to attack cities or forts near the shore.
Sailors would make decent skirmishers with decent melee skills and Marines would be solid line infantry. Ships guns could be dragged ashore with a slow movement rate. If the landing party took the settlement then crews would remain their ships. If they failed then the losses could be computed and the crews would be smaller.
I don’t think it would be hard to implement but I know we won’t be seeing it anytime soon.
I can only hope that if the game is getting continued support that it could come with the multiplayer changes.
I hope it is something CA could at least explore.
