It takes a while to get the hang of all this, but once an enemy is sunk, the reward is a feeling of real jubilation. In a battle against a single enemy, which can last perhaps a quarter of an hour in early game stages, the player learns to make use of wind and sail in order to gain positional advantage, before letting loose volleys of cannon fire, which must also be controlled for elevation and direction. The concession to ease-of-play is that the wind is always blowing at an agreeable, non-life threatening rate.Ĭombat is where the use of wind really comes into its own. It's impossible to sail into the wind players must tack. Naval Action is about sailing ships, not motor boats. It's also a good place to practice the fundamentals of wind direction. The over-world is a lovely, nautical environment of sunshine, squalls, headwinds and coastlines. Larger ships, right up to a first-rate battleship, can be purchased. Naval Action has its own in-game economy based on player trades. Trading begins based on a number of useful items or commodities. In the over-game, players travel to friendly or neutral ports, opening up each as they arrive for the first time. The player starts in a friendly port, according to whichever country they have chosen to represent. In Naval Action, each player is given a ship: A square topsail schooner, to be precise.

"We ban people if they commit that kind of offense several times. "Profanity was forbidden in the British Navy," explains publisher Game Labs' co-founder Maxim Zasov. Obviously, it's not possible to monitor personal hygiene or drunkenness, but it is possible to keep an eye on bad language and outright rudeness. Players who enter the sailing ship combat world must abide by rules of common courtesy, or face censure. In an attempt to create realism and to foster a sense of decency on its servers, the makers of MMO N aval Action have appropriated this Article, at least insofar as is reasonable. However, if one can immerse themselves enough within these digital worlds, they can grasp the very art of war as if it were a literal painting.One such Article decreed that court martial be levied against "all persons belonging to his Majesty’s ships, being guilty of profane oaths, cursings, execrations, drunkenness, uncleanness or other scandalous action." Naval combat holds many unique challenges that often involve multitasking, which can be a nightmare for some gamers.
