I liked the choic of buildings you can construct in ports too like forts and barracks for a garrison... it all seems very well thought out.

Yeah, that part looked very intresting! Iirc there were quite many buildings to choose from right?
 
One thing i didnt like: the battles still look a bit arcadish and not very strategic... i hope űI am wrong, or if I aint.. plz plz plz change that cause it will ruin the game!
Or just make the game moddable.
I, too, am getting a little worried about the seemingly quite arcadish battlemode (relatively speaking, naturally, as I'm sure it will be much better than ETW's), but I wouldn't mind this one bit as long as we would be able to mod these things.

It's really a shame EIC apparently isn't going to be very moddable - I wish the devs would change their minds on this...! :(
 
Hear hear!

There is a small but dedicated community of age of sail fans who like to play games in realistic mode - the Sea Lords is a big community that is currently dormant because no decent age of sail game has been released since Akella's Age of Sail II. To get hold of a fully moddable AoS game and enhance it to truly realistic levels would be the dream of many players on there.
