My only wish is more voice chat and that the 250 player servers weren't locked behind discord

Looks like a new free expansion is coming out in Q1 2026 focusing on naval combat with new factions and other such things

Yes I know this is late but I just started playing the game again recently and I thought people might like to know.

they're gonna be showing off the expansion next Friday plus a release date.

Man they added fucking pirates before any real faction. I dont understand why they didnt add actual navel power like Spain or Denmark.

Spain is in the new Expansion along with some new ship mechanics, overall its a fine update but I wanted them to add more landbased faction/classes.

speaking on the regimental side of things i don't think there is much worry. Organized events are still routinely packed from NA to OCE, 100v100. From an OCE perspective there is a healthy amount of different regiments to choose from, and the tactics, while very different to EU larping, really emphasize good coordination and line leadership. Granted we currently have a problem with M&B melee sweats dominating endgames but you can still shoot them.

Damn this game is still alive? Used to roll with an european regiment for years until the rules became very gay.

You all can screech at me if you want but with the revolution update I wish they’d added Black soldiers for the Patriots and Loyalists. There were actually a lot in the Continental Army and of course there were specific units associated with the British.

They should let me mow niggers down with my White horse.

As soon as the janky melee clicked for me the game got genuinely good on its own merits.

On factions, you all can piss on me but I really want them to add Marathas or Mughals in an expansion (expansion could have EIC and Sikhs too). It's one setting in which war elephants were still actively used. You hardly ever see elephantry (outside, honestly, Far Cry) depicted in non-strategy games.

Just apply to be a prison guard at Angola Penitentiary.

I'm still trying to learn the melee system, but I also pretty much only play age of sail now, there is just something about having a blunderbuss on coastal siege that feels like nothing else, same thing with taking someone's mast down with chain shot.

Melee sucks ass. Just block bro.
