In this game idea there are two teams that fighting over the control of the oceans. The combat that you see in game is a lot like the Assassins Creed Black Flag combat on the open seas. Combat where you fight other ships to obtain cargo and steal supplies from, in the battles red lines will hover across the water showing where the enemies shots are going to be fired to give you the heads up. Throughout the game you will come across safe zones to purchase upgrades for you ship like stronger cannons or a large ram to go on the front of your ship, you will be able to customizes your ship with different flags, color of sails, the type of wood the ship is made of and the type of wheel you will have at the helm of the ship, the customization of your ships style can vary from the European style Armada style or other styles like Spaniard ships, Japanese ships and other unique styles of ships you will unlock by completing feats to find the locations of the blue prints in the free roam world, all styles have to be found or purchased in the free roam world. When you are near a blue print you compass in the right corner of the screen will glow gold and guide you to the location of the blue print, if you so desire. This game is a multiplayer game where you get into teams of twenty and fight for control over a region of sea, you will be able to make clans to combine forces with friends to have you own little group going round preying on ships for supplies and gold (Pirating). This type of game play brings me to the free roam part of the game where you can just go around sailing through the ocean peacefully or causing mayhem and being pirates.
