But you do get to sail a ship and take on enemies, on admiralty orders or on your own, and this area of the gameplay seems to be progressing very well. Most of the servers available are PvP – Europe has no PvE servers – and menus and other areas relating to trading and building ships are still in their infancy or missing completely. The early access version of Naval Action focusses very much on action. ”Did you notice we have cleared for action?” This means that the player population could try to conquer most of the Caribbean for Sweden – or pirates for that matter – and leave Britain, France, Holland, Spain and United States to lick their wounds. But the location is merely a setting for the action: in a complete sandbox environment, the players can conquer towns and capture ships to their hearts’ content and change the dynamics of the Caribbean completely from what it was historically. It takes us to one of the most romantic locations of the era, The Caribbean, where the most powerful European nations built the colonies and fought over their conquests.
However, the fans of the era now have another way to be transported back to their favourite time period: Game-Labs has been working on a game called Naval Action that was released to Early Access late in January. He was also the great hero of Captain Jack Aubrey, the fictional hero of Patrick O’Brian’s wonderful novels that I have been reading over and over again every time I want to be transported back to the Age of Sail. He was one of the great commanders of the late Age of Sail and died in the most famous actions of the day: The Battle of Trafalgar. That’s what Admiral Nelson, who was not very particular about gunnery and preferred close-quarters fighting and quick boarding action, is said to have told to his captains and commanders. Previewed on PC ”Never mind manoeuvres, always go at them.”
