Acid burn Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 wel i know that windjammers are build late 1800 but, i kind of have a wet dream of having windjammers in this sailing game, because they where verry important in trade ship history because of there ability to sail relative good upwind (close haul) and downwind, they could take big loads in reasonable times all over the place. they where fast, releyable and cheap, and some still even exist today and even do limited service. i have a wet dream for small, medium and big windjammers in this game, disigned for cargo hauling on longer distances on avarage to good speeds combared to the big pile of square rigged lumbering indiaman.

LeBoiteux Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 They are indeed way out of NA time frame (1680-1820). Late 19th-early 20th century Iron-hulled traders in NA ? Perhaps you better should have suggested them for Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts 🙂.
Acid burn Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 wel, the real early windjammers where not iron hulled to begin with, and 1820 oke, the early windjammers where mid 1800, so only few years out of time frame, pre to the windjammers clippers where the fastes way to transport goods, and regarding to iron huls, wel iron huls, could be done; but... iron plated, so for a big nice clipper-> u need lots of iron and coal, and that would also be good for the economy, for speed u should not be able to carry big armament, or not at all. oke, i get your point, but i really really would love ships like this in the game, more diverse trader choise would really be good. clippers, windjammers, squared, yachts... all sorts and sizes. wet dream...
