Sailing

[Phaiak]

Just a stupid question. Could not find an answer with the search-function.
Is it possible to control the ships as agent? I mean port, starboard and speed. Are real sea battles possible?

 

[Turanien]

Entirely possible but will need a lot of scripting work for it to function properly.

 

[Phaiak]

True! But should not be too hard for such talented modders. Would be a great feature.

Maybe just something like that:

yeah would be well cool...nothing like being on a boat with certain death ahead and having to accept your fate xD

Vinkingr faction should have aircraft carriers....i mean....cmon they must of had one. how else can they decimate so many coastal areas ^^

 

[rapier17]

With swallows dropping coconuts as their payload? Sounds fair game to me.

 

[kozakyespana]

ya that would be awesome thats for sure

Peristent World mod has created a steerable boat feature.

really? 

 

[reignlief]

yes in PW the boats are completely manualy sailed.

 

[Lord_T]

Whats the point of having boats you can sail in a battle... I think its better if the boats just contine the same way as they always do on a "battle" map or raid.

 

[Rath0s]

There is just no point in controlling it.

 

[Æthelwulf]

It is indeed utterly pointless and would only bring about so much griefing.

100% agreed. There is no need to include everything just because it's possible.

And btw, just because it is possible to make it work, that does not mean it will be working good.
Try out PW and you will see. The steering doesn't come natural and intuitive at all, and it produces glitches like hell. Even an outsider can tell within seconds that it's not something that was in the original game, and that the engine is not suited for this.

Sure, it's still fun for a bit, but thats what PW is for, if you are up to that.

The point is it's awesome. That's why. Also, if you notice that the spot you are going to land at is too heavily fortified, you could simply change direction. Which is realitic. This mod is supposed to be realisic, right?

 

[Mammoet]

The maps are just too small to be able to sail somewhere else, you either attack the bastards or you flee!

(also think sailing should not be part of this game)

 

[Azrooh]

I'd love a game mode where sailing is included, maybe something like 2 landmasses seperated by water where each team tries to loot and burn the other's village or something.

In the current state? No, people would take the boats and sail around while the defenders sit there.

 

[Merlkir]

Ehm, ship battles with sailing would be pretty epic though.

 

[Mathryt]

Would be awsome, but indeed would have alot of griefers but you could ofcourse have events doing this, just like saturday nigth siege, but then with the sailing.
You would be able to control the griefing and trolling .

 

[Serious Soldier]

I don't play this mod yet (currently under installment  ) but i would say that sailing would attract many a troll to piss people off by sailing in circles and not actually playing the game also is actual swimming instead of water as thin as air but I am not a modder and do not know how hard this would be

 

[Phalanx300]

Would definately be a nice feature to have. Not adding it because of possibly griefers is just stupid. If it works nicely in the mod with gameplay it should be included.
