Turtleship (Geobukseon)?

Would it be possible to see this ship in the game?

 

 

I am a big fan of this ship and of course the history surrounding it. I tried for a long time to get this ship back in the days of Voyage Century but did not even come close, lol.

 

I'm not sure if the devs plan to stick strictly to certain parts of the world but if there is room for expansion I think this ship is a fierce and vaild candidate. These ships were built in the 15th century and were used until the 19th century, albeit in small numbers.

 

For those who don't know, the Turtle Ship was a fully enclosed 26 cannon warship designed by the legendary Korean Admiral Yi Sun Shin around 1590 and was used to successfully repel the invading Japanese Navy. It was built to be agile and fast and was used for close fighting, ramming enemy ships followed by a broadside volley. It had a dragon's head on the bow which could launch cannonballs or fire and the deck was covered with iron spikes to prevent boarding by the enemy.

 

So.. Any chances?

First stages of the game will focus on the Caribbean and possibly Europe. Some day in the future such ship might appear, but it will definitely not going in on release and EA.

Good enough for me!

I guess I can see why you are going with the Caribbean since you can get pretty much all major nations in the fight right away, including America but I sure was looking forward to sailing the english channel and the med.

I think that I am especially looking forward to sailing the Med also. Caribbean however would be a great start. To be fair, from what I have experienced thus far, I am thoroughly looking forward to whatever the developers decide.
