Naval Supremacy of Empires, a naval overhaul mod for ETW
The purpose of this mod is to give a more historical experience regarding naval warfare in the Empire Total War game that is not offered by the vanilla game. I got inspired to make this mod after visiting the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard in September 2016, which included a visit onboard HMS Victory.
The following contents are included in this mod, which is based on my work with the original Naval Supremacy mod for NTW and the additional changes included in LME:
- Completely reworked naval rosters and added many historical ships with original names to the major seafaring nations at the height of the enlightenment age. Named ships has UI icons with flags as in LME
- Changed the hull colours of Russian, British (default), French and Spanish ships loosely based on historical sources. The hulls also has less “Swiss-cheese” visual appearance due to cannonball impacts
- Realistic naval gunnery and combat. Ships will more seldom sink but instead surrender due to being dismasted or losing its crew/cannons
- Realistic sailing characteristics
- Reworked naval jacks for the factions that was possible to research
- Named ships and classes are available for recruitment at roughly the correct time (i.e. early or late) in the 18th century. This means that an early ships is not available at higher tier buildings, but is available at lower tier buildings instead. An example is British 1st Rate Royal George that is only available in Dockyard and Dry dock buildings
Reworked and included ships
All ships are as historical correctly implemented as possible within the limits CA provides regarding ship model and gun placement (Ref 1, 2, 3, and 4).
All projectiles, guns and damage model are reworked and grape shots contain 3x3 smaller balls. The smaller balls increase by size and damage model with increasing gun size.
