It would be very cool if we could get proper naval battles, but at least we can fight at sea, despite there being an island to fight on automagically.

Pretty much why I play the TW:WH franchise, closest I can get to that at the moment. I'll take what I can get, its still cheaper than TT (I also cannot paint to save my life).

Naval battles would be cool, definitely, but unfortunately I doubt we'll get them.

They tried naval battles. They're tried and tried and tried again. People don't want it.

What are you talking about? People loved naval battles in past titles. Even if we’re right has nothing to do with why was dropped.

There’s placeholder content in game files going back to 1 when obvi CA started work on this but due to aforementioned IP issues with the Man of War tabletop game, GW, we can only assume, axed that idea.

This. They were always bad&boring. Played some of them in RTW2 and hated every second.

What a bummer...

It is actually not due to IP. CA has said they could have done it if they chose to, but they decided to focus only on land battles.

Myself, I've never really "loved" naval Battles, but I like having then back at Rome 2

But it is a problem. If someone else has the rights you just can`t do it

CA has said it wasn't a rights issue.

Go try playing naval battles in one of the older Total War games.
Then come back and let us know if you still want Naval battles.
