Sailing ships are beautiful things aren't they? Never during any period of history has a navy ever looked so elegant, powerful and majestic. There's something poetic about the wind filling a ship's sails, carrying it over the sapphire waves and off into the sunset to find distant lands and blow up the inhabitants.

Empire will be worth it just to see such beautiful watery works of art in action. Even if naval combat sucks, the spectacle of seeing forty HD high-poly ships crusing across the blue will be wonderful.

I wonder if anyone is as big a fan of sailing ships as I am? Or does everyone else just appreciate them for their history and technical aspects? (Which are good to of course)
