Most everything is completed with mouse clicks, rather than hot keys, which make shortcuts rare. With the interface and its "quirks," you can only effectively control about four at a time.
You can control anywhere from one to almost 40 ships at once. The gameplay of Age of Sail II could have been great, if it hadn't been for significant bugs that heavily affect the flow of the game. The background music is very good, and the explosions and impacts are effective, but you'll feel as though something more could have been done with the sound in Age of Sail II. There is no voice of any kind I can find, which eliminates a personal touch to the game. The sound effects consist of a dramatic musical score coupled with cannon blasts and ripping sails. With so many different battles and ships available, you can play Age of Sail II for quite a long time. You can also challenge your friends over the Internet in multiplayer. With more ships than you can shake an anchor at, Age of Sail II makes the feat more impressive in noting that most of the ships actually look different, rather than just name alone.
To have historical battles, you must have the historical ships, and they are included with a vengeance. Since almost all of the battles are historical in nature, you cannot customize the situations to your wants and needs. With all of these battles available, you'll spend quite a while completing all the encounters. Campaigns themselves are usually comprised of linked battles, surrounding a common theme, such as the War of 1812 (I forget when that took place). Any history buff of this era would be impressed.
There are about 100 battles to choose from, most of which are historic affairs. Even with not much competition, can Age of Sail II deliver an accurate and fun simulation of this period's sea battles?Īge of Sail II comes with two main game modes: battles and campaigns. A sequel to one of the first, the appropriately named Age of Sail II gives the aspiring captain among us a chance to control a fleet of wooden ships into battle. There have not been very many Age of Sail maritime military simulations.
