I love the game, but the multiplayer is NOT working after the recent updates! Please fix the issue.

This game is very addicting. Build your own airships, vehicles, and buildings to defend and conquer your way to victory. It's a true skill to balance survivability, damage, cost, and the travel time of your sailors to carry out their tasks in the ships. The graphics aren't fancy, it doesn't even have a simple modern VFX on top, but it sells the experience well when there's lots of action and chaos on screen during larger battles. One of the greatest joys in this game is to make an absolute massive war crime of a flagship and watch it pulverize everything (or get destroyed trying) while your budget tanks. Haven't tried the DLC yet but might buy it soon.

Caveats:
1. The controls are very outdated. You will click a lot on buttons because the shortcuts are not great.
2. Dragging and dropping is limited, sometimes works in menus or in ship editor, sometimes doesn't.
3. Economic balance is a bit off. You're either struggling to make ends meet or swimming in cash; either way when you lose your entire small fleet in just 1 battle then everyone declares war on you (Very Hard Difficulty) and it becomes a race to rebuild the losses. Not easy when the balance to keep a decent fleet, having defences, and building improvements means your monthly income quickly tanks, even in mid/late game. A little more money would also mean more ships, more fleets, cooler battles. Alternatively, making ships slightly tankier could make the game less about "all or nothing" battles which in turn affects economy and game flow.
4. Same vein as above. Higher difficulty makes the AI more reactive (which is good) but also cripples diplomacy into non-existence. Definitely could use some fine tuning too so you can maneuver politics and conquest in tandem and not trying to survive a full free-for-all where the AI flings itself into the fray with no regard for its lands.
5. You can't size the window to fit if you're playing in borderless, unless you switch to fullscreen and then back. Bit annoying to do every time you boot it up.

Criminally underrated. If you enjoy creating your own vehicles and waging war with them, then get this game. Definitely trial and error based, plenty of ships that look brilliant in the editor will fail spectacularly. Sometimes, even, your fodder ship that you haphazardly put together will be far stronger than it has any right to be, and you'll chase that high in all your future designs forever. It's just a good time
