Three new previews!!

One thing that I do not like the sound of is about armies not being useful on ships.........I know this has been said before (I remember a long debate on how they'll show elephants on the ship's deck is the transport them, and they show the armies onboard).
But what it all comes down too is, that if I'm attacked by a large enemy fleet, and my ship is laden with crack troops, then it simply won't do for them to sit around during boarding action.......it's just not realistic.

Just went through the TVG preview. First reaction is obviously that it's going to be great! And there are now 12 factions confirmed!
With hindsight, I'm wondering about the demo. They did say no historical battles, so will it only be a tutorial, or will it include a couple (or 3) factions unlocked for custom battles?

Makes some sense if the troops are all aboard unarmed transports; after taking out the escorts, rather than boarding the transports, it would make sense for your ships to just sink them at range with cannon fire.

Regarding flags, I wouldn't worry too much; if any of them are off in-game I imagine there will be a mod to fix it within about 20 minutes of release.
