Leipzig may have been a little while ago now, but Gamereactor has recently posted up an interview with Kieran Brigden, Community Manager for The Creative Assembly, from the show.
Kieran talks a fair bit about the new naval battle system in their upcoming game, Empire: Total War, and what different factors players will need to take into account when commanding their ships about.
It sounds like weather will play a big part in the naval battles, and players will get to experience very different types of seas as they fight in different locations across the world - mentioned was the Caribbean (sunny, calm winds)Â and also the North Sea (wet, wild and strong winds).
One other cool thing mentioned was the fire effects, which sound awesome. The more I see this game, the more I want it.
