Man O'War: Corsair

GW went from "NOBODY TOUCH OUR SACRED COW IP" to "Fuck it, let's hand it to whatever chucklefuck is willing to work with us".
Amazing, really.

Have they promised to fix that?
Even if theres clipping and shit I want to board other ships.

Not that I've seen, but in general they don't seem to be too comfortable with making promises they're not entirely sure they can pull off. They have stated they WANT to let you board other ships and WANT multiplayer, but won't promise it.

Oops, a rogue ' slipped in there.

Fuck
I hope they can at least deliver the first one.

Nice magnet link.

But is it related to the thread????

Some mod added it, blame mark

You what? Motherfucker, I even went to the trouble of finding a live and up to date torrent for you fucks and you pass it off to a pocketeer.

-If you get a quest to retrieve a weapon, you can generally keep the weapon for yourself if you choose not to accept payment and keep it. This is generally a better idea as you can get a special weapon for yourself or your crew to better deal with boarding actions.
-Buying armor for your character is purely cosmetic, so don't waste the gold until you have a surplus in your coffers
-Your starting Corsair is actually really damned good and is far better than most of the ships available. Only larger scale war ships have more offensive power but they lack some of maneuverability and are much more costly to maintain.
-Get the water pumps. This will put out deck fires faster.
-Having crewman in Maintenance is essential for keeping your ship operable during the more Hellish of incursions. The biggest thing they'll do to make you love them is repair broken sails, thus keeping you moving and not a sitting duck to be shot at or boarded.
-Marines have great for boarding actions, but boarding actions aren't a great idea if you don't have them tricked out with good weapons and shields. On smaller vessels, like the Corsair, you might want to consider not manning any Marines unless you intend on boarding to be your primary form of combat. This plays into dealing with monsters as well, the Marines can incite the most damage when a monster decides to poke its head onto your ship but, unlike standard boarding actions, this will incur a fair amount of damage to your ship if you let them do this.
-Give all crew guns, swords, and shields. The swords and shields are obviously for boarding defense, but with guns the crew can shoot down wyverns, pegasus, and griffons in addition to whatever anti-air measure you install. Oh, and install anti-air measures. They're ALWAYS a good investment.
-Flyers are an iffy investment. They can die easily under the right circumstances, meaning you're out 25K gold for a dead animal that did a corpse-belly-flop into the ocean. However, when they're not busy dying, they're fucking up enemy crews, acting as scouts, harassing targets to stop them from shooting at you with cannons, etc. They are amazing in their utility, but fuck it all if they die.
-Wizards. Get one. Bright Wizards will fuck up enemy ships with fire and that's always good. (Fire hurts the crew and degrades the vessel) There's a wizard that can alter the winds to help you or harm the enemy by literally removing the winds from their sails, making them sitting ducks. Other wizards get other forms of buttfuckery that's generally worth investing in.
-You can use Z and X to control your special crew, like wizards and sharpshooters. Overall you shouldn't really need to, though, unless you're doing something VERY specific. You can also use this to control anti-air. Use THIS feature all the fucking time, they suck at aiming without you.

-NEVER transport people fleeing plague. They're plague zombies and will rush your crew while at sea and then you'll have to kill them (they're not hard though) and get no fucking reward for putting up with that shit.
-Don't go too far north, or off the map in general. A FUCKHUGE monster will appear behind you like Jaws but only FUCKHUGE and swallow your ship whole. Do it once, it's cool to see, but then never again.
-Keep any loot you find, don't sell it to the market unless you see the red numbers in the market that shows there's a special demand for those items. Only fill those, it's extra gold. Otherwise keep that shit for special orders and more opportunities for demanded goods. Try not to sell excess food, you can easily convert it into provisions for your crew and that's FAR more worth it.
-Fire lazy crew members. Not even kidding, Lazy is a thing and get rid of it and find someone new to replace that lazy bastard. Fuck that guy.
-When you're destroying the guard towers at Pirate Ports, remember that you can actually DESTROY that tower. The option to plunder the port pops up from disabling it but if you destroy the tower you get pennants that you can hand in for delicious bounty gold.
-Always check the port bounties. You likely have collected a few you're not aware of. Anyone out there you sink is a bounty for SOMEONE SOMEWHERE. Chaos, Skaven, Orcs, and Pirates get that status with everyone so it's always open season on those assholes.
-Orcs, Chaos, and Skaven have special ships with special abilities. Learn them fast, these special abilities will be the bulk of how they damage you and will determine if you (or more specifically, your crew) will survive an encounter or not. I'll try to sort these out later with some screen shots to look at.
-Damage is compartmentalized. So are deaths that result from this. Keep tabs on what's destroyed and what's burning. Also, if your cargo hold is fucked up you can actually leak supplies into the ocean, but you can go back and pick them up after your crew repairs the hold a bit.
-I can't believe I'm about to say this, but the Empire sucks overall. Their presence in the oceans is minimal, even lesser than Kislev. Their larger ships are nice but Brettonian ships are the bee's knees. That comes down to personal choice, overall, but remember that you won't be dealing with the Empire much as you progress and Brettonia a LOT. Brettonia also pays better. Brettonia hates mercenaries in the lore, so I find this odd
