how much ship gameplay is there?

im just wondering if this game is more focused on land, and the naval sections are for side missions and such. thank you in advance.

if i could compare it to something, it would probably be closest to AC4. The gameplay is primarily ship based, as in that is your main source of exploration and navigation. There are various small settlements but the only rather large area you will come across is Albany. Still, a solid entry to the AC series. Cheers =)

well, as far as I'm concerned, I think there was not much naval gameplay (I compare this to AC4 BF), while you need your ship to move, most of the time was still spent on land. I remember the sea shanties did not even have enough time to be sang by the crew, while there was enough seafaring in BF to hear them completely, but hey, just my experience here.

On a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is AC1 and 100 is AC4... how much naval warfare/ship management is there in Rogue?

the same as AC4
if you've played every single AC until black flag the best way to describe the gameplay here is a mixture of AC 3 and 4

Ouch. I am indeed playing the whole franchise and AC3 was the first game in the series that I didn't like. Also I'm not a fan of naval warfare so... this isn't good news for me.
Thanks for your feedback. Since you've been kind in your reply, I have another question, slightly off-topic: are the next games in the series (Syndicate & Unity) centered about ships too?

Nope, they're based on 1 huge city (Paris and London) so no naval combat. Naval combat is back on the new one, Odyssey.
