Whaaa.... They fix their airships by hitting them with spanners? pfffttt... how unrealistic. Call me when they have steam calculators. Looks pretty fun, though I'm' not a big fan of steampunk style
ya the video made it seem pretty fun, except for the captains job.. lmao can't turn fast enough? RAM THAT MOUNTAIN!
There are a selection of ships and depending on the ship you choose determines how it flies and manages. http://gunsoficarus.com/gameplay/ships-3/ Some move really fast and maneuver better while some are slow and have harder time making turns and exchange that for fire power or more durability. The "Tower" they said in the video is actually called the "Spire" It is basically a long range ship with tons of firepower but is very vulnerable and slow. I personally would like this but in the colonial era, and sword fighting on ships. Then customizing the ship with themed looks, decals, with different flags you can make, to designing crew uniforms.
Surprisingly fun game. Had it for two days and I made a super ship. Hail to the GoldFish. my god damn skyjeep.
Resurrecting this, since it's on sale again. Just wondering if this game is any good, actually, since in theory it kinda looks like a floaty Empires. And it *keeps* being on sale ^,^
Why does everyone keep comparing empires to games? Its a ship battle game, one guy drives, one shoots, one repairs and one navigates.
It works and it fun, it's nothing like Empires. I'd be well up for getting a group going but the internet in this house is terrible.
