Also I haven't seen any indication that the chain shot actually does what it is supposed to do, i.e. take down an enemy's sails so it can't move effectively. It just seems to be another range/damage combination.

Seems good overall, but the handling kind of ruins it for me. I feel like a pinball pilot, not the captain of a ship. The fact that you bounce off of islands doesn't help the pinball feeling. The auto-zooming camera can be pretty annoying as well, as it often leaves me unable to determine how the other ships are oriented with respect to my own ship.

a way i found to get the last loot is to ram the other ship while firing or even to just sideswipe it. It also works well for other loots so you don't have to circle back around.

Hw do you reduce framerates or quality because its getting rediculus that i can play multiplayer 1 / 5 intill it has lower quality button or stops the framerate problem

Excellent. One of the best games on Kongregate so far. Only letdown is that it's so short. Kudos to the people who made it - be great to have a larger version. I really enjoyed it.

These things don't move anything like ships would. I especially don't like that there are only two "speeds": full speed and stop. And there's the annoying zoom-in, which happens totally randomly.
All in all, lots of place for improvements.

This "top comments" thing is really only there to quiet dissenting voices. I read through a bunch that were "under rating threshold" and most of them were politely criticizing points in the game. Legitimate points that if fixed could help the game's playability. But instead of being seen, and possibly addressed, they get buried... Sad really...

I gave it 4/5 due to bg graphics, animation, concept, research, and overall awesomeness of napoleonic-era naval battle. I even respect the controls. But the unbidden zoom is terrible. Terribly terrible.

I actually really enjoyed this game, and I don't know why everyone is complaining about the handling. You just need to get used to it, but after that it handles great! Though I agree that we should be able to get the last ships loot before the mission ends. 5/5

The small facts at the bottom of the loading screen may have been interesting, but my game loaded to fast to read them all clearly. Also the facts during the level loading screens often aren't readable for the same reason. When hiring people, i enjoyed being able to see a brief background info screen about each one. Playing the tutorials gets you to grips with the slightly awkward turning, however i managed to override this by increasing my crew's handling. As for the rest of it... well got bored so cant fairly rate this out of 5 yet. Good, simple 3d graphics and sensible, maybe even difficult computer AI. only improvement would be to be able to freely change the zoom of the camera, possibly with the mouse wheel. @BrainlessNerd <<<< BULLSHIT.

I love teaming up and turning someone into a sandwich with another ship then just blow that ship open after that its all out war

People should quit commenting about the new commenting system. From most of the games I've played so far, ant least one comment criticized the Top Comments. Just make discussion on the actual game. The recent comments will probably be updated pretty soon anyways, considering most of the top comments were about bringing it back.

additionally...if you're going to spam fire for only one cannonball, shouldn't that one ball come out of the cannon closest to the target? When you spam fire it only fires from the front cannons. Great looking game, bad game mechanics. Just needs some polishing fro feedback.

I really like it. Good MP also. It would be nice to have a ranking system, and to have further improvements to the crew based on mp ranking wins.
