In the case of durability the unit card now has an icon with an "H", "N" or "L" to ease the process while you can find accurate firepower values in the unit's card description Also: Do not trust the unit card's firepower number as it has never provided the correct number, not even in Vanilla.įurthermore, we have divided the naval gameplay into two periods: You must take a deep look into each ship's stats to notice the different HP and firepower values. But you can always work your way by demasting and stern raking, the last having a vast effect on morale. Also, take into account that each rate has a designated armour thickness value so lighter cannons (say, an 8-pounder) won't pierce through bigger ships (say a third rate). (just take into account that in very few instances your ship might get lighter cannons as is the case of HMS Victory going from 42 to 32 pounders, in any case, this might decrease overall firepower but increases damage per minute as those cannons reload quicker).

Speaking of firepower, you'll find all ships carrying historical load-outs of cannons on their decks and some of them even are upgradeable! For this to happen you should develop the "New Cannon Boring Techniques" technology from the naval tech-tree, it will upgrade your cannon's calibre to the one specified in the ship's unit card description. Each rate has "heavy", "normal" and "light" variants of HP, usually also tied to firepower but in more than one case you can find a really weak but sturdy ship or a powerful but lighter one. Ships are divided as in the "common" system of rates but some of the ships aren't on their historical rating because of balancing reasons, like some heavy third rates being classified as second rates on our mod. If you don't want to lose them forever you better take good care of them. Some unique ships are already built and sailing at the start of a campaign and aren't recruitable at all (they are older ships), like HMS Victory and Santísima Trinidad. Most notably we have added not only classes of ships but also a few singular ones, all based on historical records. There's so much to say about each individual nation that the best might be too left to you to explore. Every major naval faction now has specific new ships and designs for you to construct and rule the waves.

You can find a full list of used tracks below. Overall the soundtrack was expanded with much more pieces than before. The soundtrack is still a Classical music soundtrack and uses calmer music for the campaign (mostly Piano music), more vivid (for example two marches from Beethoven) and full orchestra music for the land battles and finally mostly string quartets/quintets for naval battles. The soundtrack is completely reworked too. So no more weird textures, no more canons turning black when destroyed and weird fire drills. Many things from the previous version had to be fixed and we did.
