I don't think people would want to see ships sail in formation or you'd run into similiar facing issues as water is not a hard surface as land is in the bland battles. The AI has more smaller units, so it is less they have to get to move, restructure.
I havn't heard a single AI comment. I've only heard it felt "arcadey". I don't mind that, that's how Sid Miers felt, heck I even enjoyed it. I don't want overly tactical to point I have to micromanage the wind flaps. Neither do most new players. New players beat vets, fact of marketing, more 12 yr old gamers then mature ones, if you don't buy that just talk to world of warcraft.
They are starting completely new, it's a brand new engine, brand new coding, lots of new.
I know that, but I mean things like pathfinding for the crew on ships, morale, etc. They are things that their experience in the other games will help them develop, which is what I meant. I know they are starting with a new engine, but they have years of experience and knowledge, which is exaclty what I meant.
End of the day I don't see a single justification to delay. Those of you who want a delay can just wait till a expansion.
If the game is addictive and getting high 90% reviews I think it will do just fine. There always are nay sayers, Ca can't make everyone 100% happy. They can however make some money and make the rest of us happy
