Napoleonic era Total War?

Yes please. *signs up*

Especially if the ship to ship combat is up to scratch with tacking dismasting and raking fire.

Well from all the screens and the video there seems to be a distinct lack of ship damage. Yes you see a ship on fire but beneath the fire the ship is in perfect condition. Similarly you see a ship sinking - a ship in perfect condition. I've not seen so much as a canon ball hole in a sail yet, let alone ships ripped apart by a full broadside! How are you supposed to judge if an enemy ship is in its last death throws or fully manned and about to give you a good pounding if we don't have any clear visual clues?
