I like small islands. Forces conflict, with nowhere to run. Admittedly, it becomes more of a wargame than a broad RTS/RPG under those circumstances... :samurai:

The bad thing about sea battles in AOM, is the STRICT paper-rock-scissors warfare. Sea warfare in AOK was a LOT more interesting.

I disagree. Sea battles in aok were more of an econ game than actually having the right ships (you only had galleon line units). That said, watermaps were always my favourite, no matter what kind. That goes from aok to aom, spanning a whole 2 games and one x-pack ;)

Well, first of all. The size. I think when we have huge sea battles, i cant command anything :)
And when sea is included, ships take over for the main consern, ground attacks. Yes, i really dont like naval fights, i really dont know why ... Or at lease i have tryed to explain it here ...!

Well, simply because i think its comfusing. And in like team Islands, i cant rush :D lol :)

AOK had a lot more variety: Galleons, Cannon Galleons, Fireships, Demolishion Ships, Trade Cogs, and the various upgrades to them all.

AOM doesn't have trade cogs or demo ships. No water trade and no other "option" (demo ships) besides the paper-rock-scisors of Arrow > Hammer > Siege ship.

EDIT: BTW, where did ES pull the "hammer" ship out of? Pretty historically inaccurate.

Yes, but considering most of what I see that is the most interesting is in older topics, I have to start somewhere :-)

Yeah that's probably true and besides, this forum isn't very active all the others are but this one isn't. It will probably change when the game comes out though.

Well, hehe, Scandinavians knows the sea. We (almost) INVENTED fishing. So its not because I'm from Scandinavia. It's simply because i dont like seabattles in RTS- games.

I like highlands in AoK and in Empires DotMW and some water is good like a river dividing players or something.

Highlands, by far. I hope 0 A.D. will have some sort of map without anywater whatsoever, though. Like "Plains" in EE.
