Sea Battles...

Creative Assembly. Please try and make it possible to actually fight these battles. I lose countless troops on my transport fleets.

I, as a naïve and hopeful individual/fan, see some hope that we might have true sea battles the next Totalwar. The new engine seems to have the capacity for that.

I don't third that () because it's basically the same thing. Especially in ancient naval warfare, your ships are no different than floating chariots or siege towers. If we were talking about the true age of sail (past 16.C.) then we would have to deal with various types of cannons mounted on various types of ships with various types of hulls and rigging, oared and/or sailed, firing various types of ammunition, vario...
