Moar Naval Combat!, Because MOAR! Options

[Goblin]

I personally have been playing Warcraft III Naval Combat for more than a year, i love it to death and am saddened that there isn't a 4v4 comp run.

NC or Battleships as some ppl call it, is an amazing game in that it can be picked up and learned in 10 mins or less, much like Flatout 2. It doesn't require the in depth knowledge of game mechanics of DOTA, nor the reflex training and muscle memory of CS, COD4 and other FPS (First Person Shooters), a team with reasonable communication (say a private teamspeak/ventrillo server or private channel on a public teamspeak/ventrillo server), and inexperienced players, can beat a team of veterans with little difficulty.

The average match usually runs between 40 mins to 3+ hours depending on whether one team decides to go for a quick victory or not.

While unlikely that there will be prizes of any kind for an NC comp for a while, if the support for it does arise, that might change in the future.

So please, register your support for this great, fun game that anyone can pick up and learn faster than you can read this post.

i too enjoy a good game of navel combat,

but there needs to be a set list of house rules that people abide by.

common ones are:

no mages used on buildings
no hoarding of money to other players

previously mages were banned without exception, due to late game play being stagnated, i vote that mages be allowed for ANTI-SHIPPING only

i have seen it in many online games and it works very well, coz it involves a lot of team play, rather than just tank n shoot
