Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles: Update 1.3.1 with Brettonian and Empire campaigns released

Sun, 03 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

For Man O’ War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles the huge Update 1.3.1 has been released for Linux on Steam. It adds the Brettonian and Empire campaign to the game as well as a lot of other new features and improvements. The full changelog:

Bretonnian and Empire campaigns! Begin your life as a newly conscripted captain in the Bretonnian or Empire navy. A trickier start than the regular independent game, you’ll be commanding either a Buccaneer or a Wargalley. As a member of your faction’s navy you’ll be able to capture sea zones and even ports for your home nation, though all your actions will have diplomatic consequences - attack ships from a neutral nation and a war is likely. You’ll also have to keep an eye out for relations breaking down depites your actions - a hostile nation suddenly declaring war as you sail through their waters. Joining the navy has other benefits, with enough loyalty built up with your faction you’ll be able to hire elite units such as Sergeants of the Empire and Knights of the Realm. Elite units come with a special trait (or sometimes several) which make them significantly more powerful than normal crew, but they’re not cheap. Bretonnians can also hire Knights of the Realm who gain new traits as they level up, becoming especially powerful at high levels. You can also hire captains for any spare ships you buy or capture - build your own fleet for an invasion. Independent captains can also get in on the naval action - if you can build up enough loyalty with a human faction they’ll offer to let you join their navy. This comes with all the benefits and downsides above. If you choose you can try leading the Wastelanders to glory or perhaps pledge allegiance to the Pirate Princes of Sartosa. Beware if you choose to betray the faction you have joined, attacking your own faction’s ports, hurting allies of your own faction or just destroying your favour with your own faction by attacking your fellow navy ships will lead to a banishment - you’ll forever be hostile to that faction. Finally, it wouldn’t be right to join the navy without flying the correct flags - the sailmaker’s shop has now opened at the shipwright’s office. Full list of changes:

Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles: Update 1.2.1 (Dark Delights) released

Tue, 10 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000

For Man O’ War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles the large Update 1.2.1 (Dark Delights) has been released for Linux on Steam. It adds the Slaanesh Chaos campaign and the long awaited feature to capture enemy ships to the game. Also a tactical camera view was added. The complete changelog:

Update 1.2 - Dark Delights Man O’ War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles - Fraser Evil Twin This update brings the Slaanesh Chaos campaign and a feature much requested by the community: ship capture, as well as a new camera view option for all ships. Slaanesh Campaign Transform the old world into a hedonistic paradise for the glory of the Prince of Pleasure. More than just destruction is your goal as you corrupt the minds of the enemy crew and send your acolytes to spread the unspeakable joys of service to Slaanesh, turning the human ports into hives of decadence. Ship Capture Independent captains and Slaanesh captains are now able to capture enemy ships. For the independent captain, as long as it’s something your crew can steer you can put a prize crew aboard and have them take the ship back to port. Beware that the owning faction will attack the ship on sight. Once in port you can either sell the ship or pay to have the shipwrights repair the damage, clean the barnacles, and replace the rusty old cannon so that you can sail the ship anew. Be careful to keep it out of sight of its previous owners still (though rumour has it that some of the less law abiding ports can help with that). For Slaanesh, capture is a means to an end - capture an enemy ship (ideally with half its crew already on your side from the Radiance of Slaanesh) and send your most human-looking cultists aboard, back to the ships home port. On reaching port they’ll infiltrate the town and start to corrupt it. With enough cultists and a bit of time the port will become defenceless, its citizens too intent on their revels to care about anything else. At this point you may either leave them to praise Slaanesh with their carnal ways or burn the port to the ground as an offering. Ship upgrades Ship upgrades no longer have a limit based on the type - instead all ship upgrades come with a cargo space cost. You can choose to sacrifice more of your carrying capacity in order to build up those guns and reinforce every surface you can find. Tactical View Press ‘V’ (or Y button on gamepad) when sailing to toggle between standard Captain sailing view and a zoomed out Tactical view which shows your entire ship. Full list of changes:
