    Default Ramming problem. (naval combat)

    So I start a naval battle fighting 1 single enemy trireme. He sank all 9 of my triremes, I rammed him on the side and my ship sinks. Anyone else unable to do a damn thing during naval battles?

    You have to ram them then switch from ram to board. Then attaack them again. I lost a few boats before I figured it out too.

    No matter what I do my ship just explodes. Ram, board, doesnt matter. I so much as touch an enemy ship and mine sinks.

    I had problems with naval battles too. I had a battle in which units would get stuck and do nothing.

    The naval battles at the moment are not very interesting. Ships explode very fast and you don't really see is happening. I think the battles in NTW were much more interesting

    On hard difficulty you can't even see how much health enemy ships have. It is pretty dumb.

    Ram/board button is bugged right now, you have to click on it a couple of times whenever you select a new ship before it works right.

    Same here. I still can't win a battle with the same units on both sides on normal difficulty because ramming doesn't work so well. It seems when I order a ship to ram, it rams once then it stops. I have to keep pausing to give ramming order to the same ships again and again. But the AI ships just keep on ramming so I still haven't figured out how to command even 5 ships using ramming tactics.

    If I still suck at naval battles by the time a working PFM comes out, I shall mod unsinkable ships just to revenge on the AI.

    If it were any other game, being bad at naval battles would simply mean that you needed to learn and improve. With Rome II on the other hand, you have to question whether or not it was fully tested, and if mechanics are broken....given the state they released the game in.
