Spanish don't seem to care when I roll into port with 6 of their War Galleons. The governor even let me marry his daughter. (Which reminds me that the dancing is a horrible waste of time.)
Quote: "Agreed, but I don't think the combat would've been easy in realtime."
Probably true. I wouldn't have minded turn based battles if I get to use my whole fleet to do it, though.

Far too simple. Just get upwind of them before you engage them, so you get the wind at your back during battle. Then just go straight to their ship, and vanquish their captain. The whole affair generally took me 30 seconds each ship.

(Was it "Physics for the rest of us"?)"
Dunno, hadn't heard of that, as far as I can remember. The site was basically to provide some really cheap, but high quality, game models and textures for the folks here, but my partner and I ended up getting jobs, so our time for that was cut back drastically a month or 2 ago. I should really do some more stuff for it, and put up the rest of what I've already done.
High quality models and graphics, low prices. Graphics for the rest of us.
