Hello Captains,

Custom Battle
- New scenario builder: pick your waters (9 curated seas), wind & current, and hand-pick your fleet (up to 25 ships, no point cap).
- Enemy fleet: assign manually or auto-generate a random force matched to your strength (±10%).
- Pre-assign fleet groups (1–9) right in the builder — formations are ready the moment battle starts.

Massive Ship Roster

- Ship catalog expanded 513 → 2,784 vessels across every nation
(Britain, France, Spain, Netherlands, Russia, USA, Denmark, Portugal, Sweden, Venice, Ottoman, Egypt).

- Stats unified with scenario data; historical main-battery gun calibers by class & nation.

Realistic Gunnery & Collisions

- Range now driven by gun caliber (effective vs. maximum range with distance damage falloff).

- Collision damage has been rebuilt around momentum and ship mass.

New Ships & Mechanics

- Fireships — explode on enemy contact for massive splash damage

- 16 new hull types (corvette, sloop, brig, schooner, galleons, etc.)

UI & Polish

- New national ensigns (USA, Portugal, Sweden, Venice, Egypt).

- 13-tier ship ratings (1st–13th)

Thank you for your support — I’ll see you on the waves.

— The Developer of Ship of the Line
