... That brings fruit to anoher question parallel to trading. Visible industrialization or not?

[adwarf]

Never underestimate the Grapeshot.

On Another Note:
I am also working on a C@W style game. It is based in a Warhammer-esque fantasy world, and each player will be able to play one of the two preset races (Humans, and Orks), or make their own. Each race will have its own set of pros, and cons that will influence the way the player plays (For example Orks are more directed towards Melee units, and hordes, so their units are cheaper, and melee units are tougher) It is partially inspired by Iiteum's Fiefdoms @ War game, so it'll play similar to that.

Ah. I intend to mount a lot of rocket launchers on those treasure ships though.

Good luck using sail ships long after fossil fuels took part. Prepare to be exploded by age equivalent frigates. 

I'm talking about the Hwacha. Good luck develpoing a counter to THAT

[Phantom]

Adwarf, there's one problem, you always have a tendency to drop games. Remember that Halo game that we even made statlines for but you never started?

EDIT: As for that, Taricus, a few Organ Guns with Grapeshot and maybe a few boarders with breech loaded firearms. Turtle ships, sheer numbers, shields maybe.

[adwarf]

Well that had a reason my Mom started making me go to bed early on the days I could run it ... You know how hard it would be to hide my laptop from her, pretend to be asleep, and run the game would be ?

Game Related: Moving Land Forces over sea is going to be very risky now as the majority of PC forces will be ships >.>

[Bdthemag]

But that happens to all of your games Adwarf, seriously. I mean I have the same problems sometimes but I mainly blame it on my incompetence.

[Azthor]

Guess what? These plain galleons utterly crushed the chinese. Superiority is not about sheer resistance or firepower, it is about adapting to different situations through the most effective approach.

Also, I wouldnt mind running it and since I work at home, I can easily manage along the day. The only condition is that I'd end up running it realistially... And I'd give mechanics priority. You can't have a decent competition if the system has as many holes as a cheese wheel.

[Taricus]

Chinese, not koreans

[Phantom]

And the fact that, you know, China was in a state of complete isolation and was behind technologically.

[Taricus]

Only due to the manchu dynasty. If ming stayed, who knows what the chinese may've had up their sleeves...

[Azthor]

And the fact that, you know, China was in a state of complete isolation and was behind technologically.

Exactly, and what would be the case with rocket fitted sail ships battling against steam ships? Also, Taricus, we could likewise wonder what would have happened had Genghis Khan lasted longer.

[Skyrunner]

The pretty picture of boats says they crushe the Japanese navy o_o

Also, those galleons are the best men-of-war that were practical, methinks.




Edit: nvm, it says those are the Japanese ships that destroyed the Chinese fleet

[Taricus]

Ah well, I can just use the 52cm rockets. Good luck trying to outrange those boys!

Seriously, 1-2Kms in range, mounted on the largest sail vessels the world ever saw.

I just used a random picture, The English were using considerably more advaced ships during the Opium War. In fact, the first war saw the use of frigates, whereas the second involved steam-powered cruisers and... Battleships.

[Phantom]

To be countered by utter numbers, of course!
