Thread: Ships, Boats, Things that Float
I would love to have canoes and gunboats in! I would like to know how many canoes it takes to take down a Man-o-war lol. Or how many gunboats to take down a man-o-war.

Realistically? Hundreds if not thousands. In game? Who knows? If CA go overboard 'balancing' things it could only take ten or so. I would love to have canoes and gunboats in! I would like to know how many canoes it takes to take down a Man-o-war lol. Or how many gunboats to take down a man-o-war.
Of course the Natives in game might have a trick or two up their sleeves. The mighty First rate canoe of the line. Two hundred metres long and packing one hundred and fifty cannons. Powered by lots of buffalo in a giant wheel.
Of course it will be a loooong way up the tech tree, so thats alright.
Bomb ketch's?
I hope that each major nation's ships are sutbley different; French ships for example were of a lighter build usually designed 'scientifically', built with speed in mind, where as British ships were more heavley built (built by skilled but 'unlearned' craftsman)with larger holds for extended crusing in bad weather.
If it's just 1st, 2nd rate etc across most factions then it'll be a bit boring i think. Apprently even when British designs were built by other British Shipyards they came out very differently, let alone designed and built in another country with different aims for naval warfare (ie the french were much more intrested in completing the mission assigned than dueking it out on the high seas)

While all those things are able to float, they are only dubiously useful in a combat situation. Ducks, small rocks, wood, and witches.
Except for witches, they can fly over the enemy on broomsticks and play hell by turning the enemy general into a newt. It's ok though, after the battle he gets better.

What about Manila Galleons? Are we to assume these are outclassed too?
