if this work the same as Ultimate admiral: age of sail then small canon balls can and will bounce off the hull at of bigger ships at long rate. So never take a long range duel against a bigger ship-. when fighting bigger ships you should do everything you can to get behind it, use manual aiming and "hold fire", to make sure you only fire into its weak behind, and then the cannon balls go the length of the ship killing a lot of crew and guns. also if you get very close on the wind side, the bigger ships will often not be able to hit you because the guns can't depress sufficiently.
and remember boarding is your friend if you have a numbers advantage beats your opponents bigger ships mass advantage that said don't know how good your men are in boarding at present so you know at your own risk that said while risky I think you coulda just grapeshotted the big ship down and boarded maybe from two sides but that maneuver can be tricky also spec into willpower for ships stamina is mostly used up in boarding and quite frankly willpower just matters more there
Capture some smaller crap ships and remove all cannons and set to minimum crew. Then buy the fireship upgrade and use them as kamikaze strike ships on larger vessels. Dont waste them on brigs and sloops. I use them strictly as anti frigate+ suicide ships. The cutters are very good for this. Your officers arent likely to survive but you can defeat much bigger ships with this tactic. If you are lucky the AI will bunch up and the fire will spread. Always keep the wind in your favor, speed is key. A fast ship can beat a larger ship most of the time. Dont use grapeshot until you have done a far amount of hull damage. IMO chain shot is useless in comparion to the other options. Do not trade shots with larger or equal size ships, try to fight smaller ships. Use your smaller ships to distract their large ships. Dont be afraid to retreat your damaged ships or captured ships. You do this by moving them off the map. There isnt a button to retreat. Sometimes you can fake out the enemy to follow you and retreat also by forcing them to manouver off map. This only applies to the battle map though. Dismount all cannon before selling ships, you might need the cannon later for another ship. Morale imo is better than stamina in naval battles. If you are quite far up wind and trying to head downwind dont just travel downwind. Travel slighly left or right of the wind and sort of zig zag so you can keep some speed. Sometimes you can get the AI ships to get stuck in the downwind and really wreck them if you see them trying to travel downwind. If you have the crew numbers almost always take the boarding action. In my experience setting crew to optimal is the best choice for balance between keeping good boarding numbers and maintaing good speed. Those weird icons when boarding are indicators that you need to match your their angle speed and be close enough. When they all turn green the boarding action occurs. The ropes will deploy automatically, you then need to match speed and angle. Risky move but you can move crew between ships mid battle by deploying crew and moving them to another provided there is space for them. These rowboats can be oneshotted however. This also can work for you if you want to kill crew of a sunked ship moving to another ship. This is a warcrime LOL.
Keeping your ships repaired is a struggle right now. I recommend start down in New Heaven and try to clear there. When a ship is too damaged, don't bother waiting till it gets repaired. You can cheese the system right now by decommissioning the ship, then recommissioning the chip and it will be at full repair level. You can't really make ships work without doing this right now due to how slowly they repair even with the Shipyard.
@@JackieFishHDNotes on the naval battles (from how it works in Age of Sail): 1) double-clicking to move shows an anchor at the end of your movement order, which means the ship will literally cut sails and stop, so that can mean it'll be a sitting duck; 2) switching your ammo type does cause each gun to reload that type, so it'll delay firing; 3) you don't need to crew a surrendered/captured ship unless you plan to use it in battle, crewing it with your main ships also means less crew to operate the main ship (firing guns, using sails, etc) so the ship efficiency suffers badly.
I forgot about the battle of Valcour here on Champlain Lake. It was Benedict Arnold commanding American warships against the British. During the American Revolution. Theres been alot of naval battles fought right here where i live. I can see the Lake right from where im sitting in my apartment. God I love history and living in such a historically rich city!
yeah best part was arnolds plan was a fun mix of tactical defeat strategic victory he delayed them enough that there pincer maneuver plan and gains where totally lost come winter
I second the unlocking rifles. Rifles are much longer range then smooth boor muskets, where as muskets are faster fire rate. Almost think of rifle units like long range designated marksmen. Historically they were the “special forces snipers” of the day and were typically elite units.
Honestly it makes total sense for AI to take ungarrisoned towns and forts. This is a case of adapting to the game (and common sense) by using garrisons and not expanding too quickly.
The compass show the wind direction, your fleet is basically go against the wind majority of the time. Don't stuck into close combat right away, maneuver around and wait for favorable wind to swoop in.
In the future I hope we get to play as the Spaniards, French, British, and have different types of Natives as recruitment for war. In a sandbox campaign
You might not want to sell too much of that "salt". Saltpeter is what you make your ammunition from in this era. If you sell too much of it, suddenly you won't be able to make any ammunition.
This game looks really good, but my only concern is how close the two armies/navies are when battle starts. There is no room for maneuver. I really hope they extend the deployment zones out much farther.
hey i live right there across Champlain lake in a city called plattsburgh. there was a major naval battle on lake Champlain theres monuments here in my city comemerating it. There was also a battle of Plattsburgh where the American Army held the British off for half the day while naval supplies were being brought to the war ships. Theres a bridge here in my city where another battle was. Well more like a big skirmish but there was also a battle of Plattsburgh right next to the city. Look it up guys and gals. Its was the war of 1812 however not the Revolution but still a piece of history dear to all of our hearts. American, British, no matter we all have a shared history and I think we all on this page cherish our past.
i love the game its just a pitty they dont allow monetization on their videos this is the best total war game i have played and i find it super addictive
I think half of the "anoying things about the AI are just people used to it being an idiot. It makes sense that you would hold up routing troops in an abandoned enemy fort. And the AI shouldnt be forced to fight trash battles that the player initiates.
there is actually a battle in age of sail similar to the battle you played out in your video, but in the age of sail battle you're vs a 72 gun ship and have an additional 40gun ship to what you had. it's a tough battle but you can win and can capture it. what my strategy is, since you have more ships just weaker and he only has a single ship left, try to box him in. what i mean by that is have 2 ships in front of him and have them full stop so he gets stuck sailing into them. if he ever turns into the wind thats your chance to come in. they call it making a T. After you have him suck against 2 of your ships, park a ship behind him to rake his ship from bow to stern. since youre stips are in the front and back he cant hit you and you'll quickly weaken him from the raking fire. he may surrender from this alone or once you weaker him if he hasn't surrendered you can use grape shot to lower crew number then board his ship with 2 of your ships at the same time from both sides at the same time to ensure you capture it. If you added the crew totals from your two biggest ships together you outnumber him so you'd win boarding if you can get ahold of him with both. p.s. when boarding the 3 icons you noticed represent the 3 conditions you need for the boarding action to begin. One is the speed of both ships has to match, another is the distance between the two ships needs to be close enough and the third is the angle of the ships cant be to extreme. once all 3 are green you'll start boarding.
Everything I see about this game makes me want to play...a game that uses a modified version of the engine pre-1450's or so, except Japan, up to like ~1600 for them. Qin unification of China in its final stages. Tang rebellion against the Sui or the Sui/Tang wars against Korea and Japan. Three Kingdoms, with localized conflicts. Diadochi, Lamian War, Babylonian War, Second through Fourth Macedonian Wars. 100 Years War, or the Angevine/French wars. Norman conquest of S. Italy and Sicily. A bajillion different settings, fairly localized maps, set in periods I am interested in. The engine looks almost perfect for the "tons of armies fighting tiny battles all the time" style of warfare that Total War doesn't do nearly as well, except in some of the DLCs about smaller conflicts.
Gotta practice the boarding minigame sir, lmao, boarding is great especially when you board on both sides with 2 ships. It nullifies the cannon advantage the British have in the early game.
Keep your big-ish ships in a battle line and just try to cross the T of the enemy ship. Make sure you group your cutter aswell and if needed use them o take pressure of the main ships
Hey Jackie, one of the really nice mods in UG:CW are thin-white range arcs for the cannons. Has anyone suggested that to the devs for this game? Would be esp. useful for land battles to see the grape shot and long-range arcs (maybe also for the naval battles for close-range?).
if you want to gain some experience with regards to the naval battles, you can play ultimate admiral age of sail, it is a really nice game. Also, in order to win that 5th rate, you should use your 6th rate and the birgantine. Wih one ship you force the fifth rate to lock it´s course while with the other you attack the stern. You can break the rudder, kill a great portion of the crew and demoralize them or go for the masts. You will have to micro the cannon shots, manually aiming and timing the volleys, otherwise, you wont be able to break the masts (or it will be way more difficult).
You can do it with 2 corvettes. The ai in sea battles is dumb and needs an overhaul. The laser locking of the ship in front is ridiculous and would never happen in real combat with a ship strafing the rear. It needs to be fixed. Once that’s fixed it will be more of a decent sea battle where you actually are at risk of losing.
ngl when I saw the frigate I was instantly like "well they can't win" It's so amusing to me how ships can't really be measured in guns of a fleet compared to guns on an individual ship. Many times in history it is proven that a smaller ship will always lose to a bigger ship if it has more guns than it lol. Very few exceptions. If you see a ship bigger than you then you have to just stern rake it repeatedly and pray. You will almost certainly take losses though
Yes, the brigades show the total number of men combined and the little icons show the regiments, and in the battles you control the regiments and they are grouped by their brigade
@@gavinsepicgaming9835 so if the number is 120 there is 120 men that you can see on the battlefield that is in the brigade, same goes with artillery because artillery only looks like 20 guys but is showing 100 in the brigade
As always when you have games in the age of sail the devs make the mistake of letting ships fire and load both broadsides at the same time. Historically ships of the time only had crew enough to load and fire one side at a time. So getting enemy ships positioned on each side of your ship was really bad as you could only return fire on one of them.
I have the game understood at this point and playing on "Hard" is very doable... definitely a challenge. Great Game every step of the way. However, for some reason, it is crashing on me anytime I attack the western Level 2 or Level 3 forts. Is this happening to anyone else?
I love love love ultimate general civil war so I’m happy to see everyone is enjoying it. I’m having a hard time wanting to pay 50/60 bucks when the other ones were like 20 bucks but I guess they expanded it also I feel like everyone is enjoying praising this while giving a big F you to Total war
It seems like a worse version of Total War Empire Naval Battles. Which has the best naval battles of any game to date. If you haven't played the sea battles from that game, then you should.
The naval battles need a major overhaul. They aren’t amazing and can be very easily cheesed. I took out the British 112 gun mammoth with two 18 gun corvettes. The AI will focus whatever ship is in front of it. So you position one ship ahead of the British ship zig zagging in front and firing at the sails of the British ship. The second corvette positions behind the British ship and zig zags strafing the rear of the British ship. Once you get the sails knocked down enough the British ship is too slow to maneuver and eventually you will get the rudder. Once that happens you take down the sails and just broadside the ship from behind. The British AI will refuse to maneuver the ship to face the real threat behind them and will instead laser lock on the ship in front of them. All it would take is the AI turning that behemoth 90 degrees either way and both corvettes would get annihilated but it never will. I did this tactic and never lost a single naval battle so long as it was 2v1 and took minimal damage. There’s no reason 2 corvettes with a total of 36 relatively weak cannons should be able to take out the British flagships while taking relatively minimal damage. Similarly the AI in land battles is equally as dumb. The AI in this game needs an overhaul badly and hopefully will get it before the full game release.
Seriously you have been able to achieve something which makes AI think if humans are so dumb is it possible I can rule them..... literally you have been able to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i don't get one thing, you have enourmous sums of money, you also tried to buy that ship, you had 2k, then suddenly the image changes and you got 11k, how ? :) i wanna do magic too :)
if boarding use superior numbers and equip your marines with bayonet weapons, you can also use the support ships to transfer additional troops to your ship that's boarding the enemy ship to replenish manpower... btw you talk to fast..lol.
Honest opinion brother......... You are a below average in strategy....... 😂😂😂😂😂 Soldiers with no ammo cannot do anything holding a position....you either ask them to fall back or go for knives only frontal attack or what u call melee attack...😂😂😂😂😂 But u are learning....

The compass show the wind direction, your fleet is basically go against the wind majority of the time. Don't stuck into close combat right away, maneuver around and wait for favorable wind to swoop in.
Not to mention that the ships have about a dozen different signal flags etc that tell exactly where the wind is blowing.
Fourth episode already? Lets goooo, naval battles are gonna be cool I bet.
first
looks like its the exact naval gameplay from ultimate admiral, with more land gameplay in the campaign
In the future I hope we get to play as the Spaniards, French, British, and have different types of Natives as recruitment for war. In a sandbox campaign

This game looks amazing. I was hoping that they would do a dynamic campaign after civil war
This game just came out and already beaten every single Total War game.
This is simply what was already in the Admiral Age of Sail.
Can you build weak(minimum upkeep) garrison units to prevent the shattered/routing enemy units from just walking in?
Would be such a cool game with a head to head mode
Yeah, really hoping they add mp later down the line!
Maybe if you left a force to garrison the town and fort, the AI would not have had that little force run in and take them while they were empty.
Coop multiplayer could be real fun in this. The economy could just be controlled by anyone and up to discussion and planning 🎉
game looks amazing. I noticed you can zoom in a bit more than civil war.

cities and towns on the river typically are better because they have easy access to trade and things such as mills etc.
You should probably put the naval battle at the beginning otherwise everybody will leave because they didn't get what they clicked for.

No siege works?
reminds me of the napoleon and empire total war sea battles
Does the unit count represent the actual number of models represented in the battles? Or does one soldier count as a certain number of men?
When you have that much advantage board the ship and take it for capture
we need an ultimate general: Napoleon
5:17 Hurrabdon :D
That is why you should leave like 1 good company in every city
Man, this game is just too difficult to me. like, how am I supposed to capture Boston when there are 7000 men just sitting there?

Is this the campaign or is there like a domination mode in the game?
that imperator ost

is it available on Mac yet?
Why didn't you take some canon from Ticonderoga?

Yo, i tried to find the game on steam, but couldnt find it. Is it not on yet? please help, it looks amazing to an OG TW gamer
only available on the games website atm, it's coming to steam later next year
Wouldn't you want to get the hunting rifles? Rifles have much better range and accuracy than muskets.
Can you play as the British or is it just the Rebels
amazing , when came out?? i need a mod for napolonic wars!!!!!
when -- and where -- can we play this?
It seems like a worse version of Total War Empire Naval Battles. Which has the best naval battles of any game to date. If you haven't played the sea battles from that game, then you should.
Gotta disagree. I enjoy Empire’s naval battles, but the ones in this game and Age of Sail are much more in depth.
Please man don't discount the rifles - The American Revolution was won by the Americans in part due to the Pennsylvania Rifle.
The naval battles need a major overhaul. They aren’t amazing and can be very easily cheesed. I took out the British 112 gun mammoth with two 18 gun corvettes. The AI will focus whatever ship is in front of it. So you position one ship ahead of the British ship zig zagging in front and firing at the sails of the British ship. The second corvette positions behind the British ship and zig zags strafing the rear of the British ship. Once you get the sails knocked down enough the British ship is too slow to maneuver and eventually you will get the rudder. Once that happens you take down the sails and just broadside the ship from behind. The British AI will refuse to maneuver the ship to face the real threat behind them and will instead laser lock on the ship in front of them. All it would take is the AI turning that behemoth 90 degrees either way and both corvettes would get annihilated but it never will. I did this tactic and never lost a single naval battle so long as it was 2v1 and took minimal damage. There’s no reason 2 corvettes with a total of 36 relatively weak cannons should be able to take out the British flagships while taking relatively minimal damage.
Similarly the AI in land battles is equally as dumb. The AI in this game needs an overhaul badly and hopefully will get it before the full game release.
why is there no cavalry in the game?
There is. You need to unlock it.

So the AI has total war level Ai. Thats a shame.
Land battle perform way better, I have noticed siege AI really struggles
Seriously you have been able to achieve something which makes AI think if humans are so dumb is it possible I can rule them..... literally you have been able to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Honest opinion brother......... You are a below average in strategy....... 😂😂😂😂😂
Soldiers with no ammo cannot do anything holding a position....you either ask them to fall back or go for knives only frontal attack or what u call melee attack...😂😂😂😂😂 But u are learning....
It really is too bad that the developers of this game are greedy pieces of shit. Would have loved to pick this up for a decent price.
