I have wondered why no one has done a modern update to Age of Sail 2.

Of course the one ship I wanted was there... the Constitution.

But I would love to see a lot more hulls available.

I couldnt stand it...I had to buy the game. It will come out with a steam key which I am no fan of steam but this looks worth it. Here's the reply I got after the purchase...

 

Dear Customer

You have successfully pre-purchased Naval Action. We appreciate the continued trust and support. 

The steam key for the pre-order and a key for the bonus ship will be sent out to you in the near future. We plan to open up early access for buyers as soon as we do the following:

  • Finish implementation of 10 ship models
  • Finish implementation of basic RPG and upgrades system
  • Connect open world prototype with instances
  • Add new gameplay types

Meanwhile please register at our forums if you have not done it yet. This will allow to follow the development and participate in discussions about the product.

Game-Labs.

 

Looks like game will start with 10 hulls. Kewl!

I was spoiled with Age of Sail 2 Privateer's Bounty... moddable with massive number of hulls to choose from and almost every historical and/or hypothetical battle I would want to recreate already programmed.

If the graphics of this new game were simply merged with AoS2, I would really be impressed.

 

As it stands, this looks like a great game, but I don't know about role playing stuff.

I just want a decent sim where I can set up a particular scenario and play it out.

I've been reading the Aubrey Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian for the last year or so and been on the look out for something like this.... count me in.

You know, Im going to look into that series myself. Maybe Amazon might have something for kindle. I remember reading books by Adm. Daniel Gallery back when I was a young seaman. There was 5 of them. Some of the best nautical reading Ive ever done. One was a cold war thriller. Another was the true story of his capture of the U-505. And the other 3 were satire about a sailor called Capn Fatso. Great books with good humor.

Any you guys play the Nitro Games? That was the best Age of Sail tactical battle model I had seen as of 5 or 10 years ago. Curious how this compares?

Having recently played the pre-release on Steam a few nights, the graphics and mechanics are nice. But I have no interest in playing countless hours trying to earn money for upgrades, new ships, etc. I have no interest in a "game". I like setting up classic matchups and trying them out from both sides. My favorite is simple 1 vs 1 or 1 vs 2 duels and sometimes squadron vs squadron action. Overall, aside from the beautiful graphics, the mechanics didn't seem too much different or better than my old Age of Sail 2 game.

 

I suspect I won't be playing Naval Action very much at all. I much prefer historical accuracy/re-creation to what this game is trying to provide.
