Other 17th/18th century naval tactics/strategy games?

[Aldeveron]

I've had hundreds of hours of fun playing Caribbean Hunt and Plague of the Dead, but now I'd like to find something else in that vein. Does anyone know of any other naval strategy games in the age of sail, that are worth a look?

haha i wish man ive looked and looked these are the best ive found

[Aldeveron]

Me too. There is some quite good naval action in Empire Total War, that's on a par with TPCH, but I expect there are others. If only the devs would develop TPCH further, I'd probably keep playing it, but I just feel like I've played it to death now, in its current form. To its credit though, no other game has given me so many hours of low-cost pleasure.

The naval action in ETW is not the main focus of the game, but it plays a significant part. The game is mostly about international politics, alliances, trade, etc. The graphics in the naval warfare and land battles are pretty good; you can see the individual sailors onboard the ships, moving around, doing their stuff, and the ships are realistic. Like CH, you don't get to walk around on deck, loading cannons and such (as in Blackwake and suchlike) but I didn't want that. It has a pretty good tutorial on controlling your ships and engaging enemy ships.

Naval Action is for the extremely serious and I mean extremely, you sailing bro. If I was to rate PCH vs NA in difficulty to learn.( 1 is easy and 10, need a PHD ). Naval Action is a PHD. Good luck sailing dude.

I'm waiting for NA to be available at discount. :-)
