Sea battles Grrrr!

[Phoenix]

As they stand they ruin the game. Two evenly matched armies and forced to autoresolve (a battle you didn't even want) and see your force destroyed is no joy at all.

Why do I get the feeling that fleet battles are coming as a DLC? (I can hope)

That's my suggestion for a resolution to them.
CA has said that basically to do fully rendered battles for sea is beyond their budget and time scale for the game at this stage.

Reload the autosave and avoid the fight.

Game needs to have at least 2 autosaves going back to the last 2 turns. You won't be able to avoid that battle if you go back to the autosave if you maxed out your troop movement already (which you're usually always doing at sea to get to land asap anyway).

Turn the 'incremental saves' ON

But hey, everyone said that naval battles aren't fun. That we didn't need them anyways.

Yeah, well, enjoy the broken autoresolve system.

That's just wishful thinking OP.

Maybe flying units have some trouble with sea battle situation. we must transter the flying units with ships to far land battle, but in the middle of sea battle, how they playing battle animations without land? they must land somehow, for attacking crew members..or just ship to ship battle animations without crews?

there was talks that GW sold the right to warhammer sea battles exclusively for Man o War game

and that is why CA cant implement them in total warhammer I/II/III

[(N☆G) Jackal ★JJ★]

Yea when I did my Skaven campagin nothing was more fustrating seeing my OP artillery line up that never loses to an even or 75% red bar army lose outright due to autoresolve... not to mention how much you lose in even fights with autoresolve..

It's worth noting that's just a community rumor. That said, considering how tight-fisted GW is about their IP, I wouldn't be surprised.

You know, they don't need to make sea battles like in the other games. They can just make the map two ships and let the army units have at each other. I mean the new chocke point maps are awesome, so I think it would not be such a bad idea and a hell of a lot cheaper and faster than designing a new battle system, or integrating the one from their other games.

[Gnarl]

I'd like it better if the auto resolve loser only took like 20% -25% casualties. Then the two boats could chase eachother a bit. It's also more realistic cause if the boats actually represents several ships, not all ships would be sunk in an engagement. Some would get away unless they got hit by a hurricane or something.

Maybe ships could also require a turn to repair to move and engage again, even if they win a naval engagement.

What, you mean like ancient greek naval warfare? i.e. ramming ships together and having the soldiers simply fight across the wreckage? Considering the size and scale of stuff in the Warhammer world, that's actually doable and a pretty good idea. If CA can't implement naval battles with naval units, then why not turn the naval battles into 'land battles'?

yeah thats why i said "talks"

i cant confirm if this is /falseeither
bbut since they added in navel units in TWII without navel battles it does seem likely that could of been what was stopping them

but who knows :P

[Bruno Magno]

If i am not mistaken, CA dont have the rights to make sea battles in this game, becouse another company already has it.
