Hey Guys sorry I haven't been very active since my brief comeback at the end of 2011, NTW and ETW were a little less active than before and sadly the naval warfare in Shogun was not to my liking. Hopefully the next game brings things back a little. Perhaps some other good naval games are out there, give me a shout out if you know about them.

whereinthehell is the player of the week posted?

Under Announcements (for whatever reason) "Tricks and Tips"

http://steamproxy.net/groups/totalwartactics for people to exchange army builds, tactics, and ideas. Just startiing up and needs new members, theres aalso a youtube channel were anyone can post

Welcome various new Captains, read around the site a bit, and you'll find there is a lot of helpful data

Honourable friends I protect especially ones who make me smile and enjoy the game and of course their skills as naval pro's.Two things I hate are cheats and imposters Psychopath is everything bad in NTW.Salute you Mithril and all honour his name and beware of psychopath imposter profiles it could happen again to one of us

Joker, I know you sail with other clans, but damme if you aren't the nicest killer on the high seas (I have reports, at least, to that effect). And smart enough to realize idiot psycho couldn't possible be erudite mithril.

Interesting tactic sap I'll have to try that.

fire guns on one side to roll the other side down before being hit

Damme, Steam did it again . . . had not even started the battle and lost 3000 . . back to 5 stars . .

Top marks Mithril

Joker, October 21, 1805 Nelson led a bunch of boats against Villaneuve, who also had a bunch of boats, in a big dust up.

What's famous on this day?

As you saw, 148 or so people, yet only a fraction have an interest in that direction. And that is just fine. If you like to sail in Napoleon Total War, you are certainly welcome here.

Gonna pull all the tourney stuff down, although started with the best of intentions, it is almost impossible to set up match times world wide. Heck it has proved difficult just to pass messages, taking 2 and 3 days. Another aspect is this clan itself, we provide a forum and information for captains of these virtual oceans, but have approached the game in a benign fashion. We all sail to win, we just don't dwell on it, as some clans do, we accept winning as we do breathing.

like everyone to welcome mike voortman to the group get please add him and get some games in with him he s a good player

THANKS ! Friends ...... And Danger The Clan ~=[OZ]=~ they players to lie the games "TOTAL WAR"

Slave666 is back and cheating as usual what a wanker

Welcome to the several new members/brothers-sisters at arms.

NICE, skmarsh, I like it. Thanks!

Truthfully, looks gloomy. :(

mithril is that one any better ???

I'm going to need permission from the other Administrators to let me change the picture.

We need a better picture for our page top. I don't have the ability to change it . . . so . . you knw who you are . would you find a ship at war in battle . . . rather than in the process of sinking :)

I stopped counting stars awhile ago . . I kept score on a spreadsheet . . when I was down by over 15,000 points to Steam glitches, I quit caring.
Now I just sail for the absolute joy of it! (and of firing big cannons . . sinking the enemy . . of so much so much)

mate thats why i stopped playing ranked games

Well it's their loss because they know that they're imtimidated by you. You lost something but think about what your opponents lost.

Well then see you on the high seas then!

Just saying hi, I have been super busy with work this summer and have been playing some games I got for my birthday, I will probably be back sometime in the fall guys,

The Tournament starts at September 15, but it doesn't end on the same date! XD

Admiral Yoshi has been brevit promoted to admin, so he can admin the tourney

Umm....that might be too early for it. My planned date would be September 15 because:

1. School
2. The 9/11 memorial holiday and I don't want to disrespect the people who are scarred by it.
3. Plenty of planning and by the time I would be adapted to school, I can multitask in both school and in Napoleon: Total War.

Can't post it as an event until the details are sure. The software only lets you SCHEDULE the event with a calander and such, then add comments

Actually, this tournament will be divided into two sub-tournaments. I plan to name the tournament, Tournament of the Seas, which will be divided into two categories, Captain's Tournament (The basic "One ship only" rule) and the Admiral's Tournament (Where I'll be making the fleet rules according to historical accounts). If anybody would like to come, say aye! And make sure that this comment goes in the event list cause I'm not an Administrator!

ll entertain suggestions on how to handle it, given that our captain's lives span the globe in every different time zone. I'll bet Yoshi has a formula for a tournament, the Yoshi Enlightened Tournament Instruction (YETI)

Hey. Since we're naval officers here, how about a good tournament?

lol XD

XD Nice one mithril, although I don't want such a big name like that! XD

Guess the point i was trying to make was that as a host, you are free to set any rules, you would probably still have to explain them. I don't mind posting the rule as a announcement, we can all refer to it as the Yoshi Autobalancing Clan Unifier Policy (or YacUp)

The rules I put in is but a fraction. XD If anybody can make me Administrator, I can post the rules in the Announcements page.

> to mithril: In Rome: Total War multiplayer, there are a set of rules called the CWB rules, or Clan War Belt rules. Basically, those rules are meant to balance things out in terms of unit strength and also to try to get rid of spamming powerful units like the Roman Legionary Cohorts and the Armoured Elephants. Since such kind of rules also exists in Napoleon: Total War (not the same as the CWB but has the same "guidelines" that people must follow) and since in naval battles that anybody can spam 1st rate Ship-of-the-Line, well why not make the proposed rules to limit spamming and add more dynamicsm into the game.

> to ScottyNoarf: lol I haven't thought of the use of Razees. This is why I left them out. You can use them, but if anybody will follow my rules, then the Razee's might be proven useless.

NOTE: I can't post the rules in the Announecements page since I'm not an Administrator. Plus, the comments page only has a limited amount of characters.

Yoshi, you obviously have put some thought into this, and nicely done.
I would categorize your fleet rules as a suggested guideline. The more ships there are, generally, the worse the lag will be. That is a primary reason we seldom fight fleets :) (also, many ppl have trouble controlling that many different ships)

Hey guys. So whenever we play games like Napoleon: Total War and Empire: Total War (naval battles only), many of the battles have the theme for the rule of one ship only. But there are no rules for fleet battles since nobody has the rules for fleet battles.

So anyone like the proposed rules for a fleet battle (for both fleet and one-ship battles)? Note that the rules are made for historical reasons.

FLEET BATTLES:

> Only 1-2 1st-rate ship of the line.

> Any steam ships (Steam Paddle Frigate, Ironclad, etc.) are prohibited from use.

> If you have 1 1st-rate ship of the line, you can have 2 2nd-rate ship of the line. If you have 2 1st-rate ship of the line, you cannot have any 2nd-ship of the line.

> Bomb Ketches and Rocket Launchers are prohibited.

> Maximum of 12 ships.



If you have any questrions, comments, or constructive criticism, talk to me. :)

NOTE: (Proposed) Rules are made for historical and gameplay reasons.

Out of all the people I try to sink their ship, zaka is always the hardest, despite with his Austrian 106-gun 1st Rate!

Congrats, Zaka! you're a good captain, consistant, considerate and deadly!!
