Tired of leading your troops over mountains and wading through muddy swamps? The expansion pack of "Mount and Blade 2 - War Sails" may make this top-tier RPG and medieval-themed game... even better."Battle Sail" turns your soldiers into sailors: when the wind is against you, they need to row oars to drive the ship to the battlefield; later, you can also rely on ballistae to fight, or start a deck fight after boarding an enemy ship.

In "Battle Sails", you will command the flagship of the fleet, and the other ships will be controlled by your usual companions or the allied nobles who share the same difficulties with you.You can send up to 8 ships to sea and have full control over the fleet formation; and for people like me who are hesitant about which hot drink to choose in cold weather, you can also click the "auto-deploy" button and completely "let fate".

Developer TaleWorlds explained that the beginning of any naval battle is inseparable from "perceiving the direction of the wind."You'll soon realize this - like when you lower your giant sails, only to find your ship blown back into port.For those who have trouble judging the direction of airflow in the heat of battle, a handy wind indicator marks the direction of the wind with a red and green ring.Here’s a reminder for color-blind players: There seems to be no color-blind accessibility feature in the game, so you may be facing a “different kind of battle.”

Whether the wind suddenly stops, or you're so angry at the red and green colors that you roll up the sails (whichever happens first), you can call on the oarsmen to paddle the boat forward and back as you please.Obviously, you can also join in the laborious work yourself - whether it's to show the camaraderie of your peers, or out of "come on, I'll do it myself".

So, how do you respond when you finally find an enemy in the vast ocean? Each ship is an independent combat unit, and you only need to give regular formation instructions to these ships instead of commanding each sailor one by one.You can even relax and let the AI ​​captain act on its own: supporting allies, avoiding catastrophic collisions, or, as those gamers with a penchant for sabotage will do, ramming enemy ships and boarding the decks.Just like in siege warfare, you can use corresponding ballistae to fire crossbows, stones, and even fire cans at the enemy; long-range troops can also fire projectile weapons at each other with the enemy from a distance.

Drive a large enough ship close to an enemy and you can ram them.This creates an opportunity for your infantry to slaughter the enemy ship's crew like fish.The impact takes into account speed, angle, ship weight and point of impact, and a critical hit may even sink an enemy ship in one hit.

The release date of "Mount & Blade 2 - War Sails" is November 26 (Wednesday).
