Post by: Asid on May 11, 2016, 02:20:54 PM: Update 0.2.0 - Khorne, Bretonnia and more!

Introducing the new update for Man O’ War: Corsair. Update 0.2 will introduce new mechanics as well as expand the open world experience of sailing the Great Western Ocean. To celebrate we have just made a new trailer,

https://youtu.be/ZVleWk39KvQ

Khorne!
Introducing the first of our new fleets. Khorne sails into Warhammer’s Great Western Ocean, and the world will never be the same again. There are three new ships to face off against;
The Ironshark has a huge mechanical shark head mounted on its bow,
The Bloodship is a deadly war machine with giant pincers snapping open and shut,
The Deathgalley sails into battle alongside the other ships and is a deadly support vessel for Khorne.

Beastmen
Sailing in these vessels along with the more depraved sailors are the fearsome Beastmen, ready to face the unwary in battle.

(https://gallery.mailchimp.com/4a6ab37dc3ca394be9d682ba7/images/b775f903-bb7a-415d-a0a1-6eb622bfaeb1.jpg)

Port Attacks.
Every port now has tower defences, containing gun batteries, some ports such as Erengrad and Marienburg have formidable defences that only the foolish or brave would dare attack. Due to a ship’s cannon spread, most of your cannon balls will likely miss the narrow target of the towers. So if you wish to become a destroyer of ports then perhaps a more specialised ship like a Hellhammer would be suitable, or any ship that fires one massive projectile.

If you successfully defeat a port you’ll need to dock with it, then you’ll have a choice to:
Loot (Grabbing what you can from the ports stores)
Raze (Destroying the port and gaining infamy and losing favour with that race)
Cannibalize (Breaking up the port to repair your ship)

We are pushing 32 new ports into this update, including one extra Kislevite Port, seven Orc Ports, ten Pirate/Smugglers Ports and thirteen Bretonnian Ports.

The Black Leviathan.
The biggest fish in the Old World is now in the Great Western Ocean. It is so large that it can swallow most ships whole. The best tactic when faced with the Black Leviathan is to keep it at range and drive it away with cannon fire.

That is not all, you can go here for the full list of updates. http://manowarcorsair.com/2016/05/man-o-war-corsair-update-0-2/
Title: Re: Man O' War: Corsair
Post by: Asid on June 24, 2016, 06:18:46 PM: Update 0.3 now on the Beta branch of Steam Store & GoG

(https://gallery.mailchimp.com/4a6ab37dc3ca394be9d682ba7/images/c1a35d66-b6ba-4ec3-81d7-ec3348db207f.png)

The new update for Man O’ War: Corsair has just launched in Beta. We’ve been blown away by the response to Man O’ War: Corsair so far, and our growing and positive community have already been incredibly supportive, we’re big believers in the power of fan feedback and collaboration so we’re excited to be able to announce the game has now launched with an entirely new Melee mechanic, allowing characters to engage in hand to hand combat with their enemies. This is the first of the major updates based entirely on user response.

New Weapons
We’ve added 9 shields and 10 new melee weapons for your character to obtain, including: Warhammer, Rapier, Longsword, Black Leviathan Eye Lens Shield and Megalodon Tooth Axe

New Enemies
Chaos Warriors: Terrifying chaos warriors now lead the chaos fleets.
Chaos Spawn: Dangerous and unpredictable, the only process left in their brain is the desire to kill

Crafting
Put the bits and pieces you’ve retrieved from the terrifying sea monsters to good use - find a skilled smith to turn them into powerful weapons for your captain.

Full list of changes:
- Added melee combat for the captain
- Improved ranged weapon mechanics
- Better spacing in boarding actions
- Improved performance of menu screen
- Fixed a bug that could reposition ship wrecks on reloading a save game
- Peasants in the tavern will no longer try to sell you the same map more than once.
- Added a character weapon reload indicator
- Fixed a bug preventing characters using the hatches on board ships.
- Boarding mid-wind tutorial now clears the tutorial graphic
- Streamlined hull is now a multiplier instead of a fixed boost (less effective when sailing into the wind)
- Fixed dialogue in the Blockade Runners quest
- Dead crew tell no tales (fixed a dialogue bug)
- Character weapons now have availability dependent on the port you visit, ports will produce additional weapons over time (in preparation for individual crew weapons)
- Captain’s Mate will inform you when you’ve reached your waypoint if you are in autopilot
- Sacking pirate/orc ports no longer makes you infamous
- Added screen in captain menu for choosing your captain’s equipped weapons and shield

Title: 0.4 - Dwarves! Skaven! Flyers! Magic!
Post by: Asid on September 01, 2016, 06:10:40 PM: Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles

0.4 - Dwarves! Skaven! Flyers! Magic!
Community Announcements - Fraser Evil Twin

We’d just like to thank you all for your continued & amazing support for Man O’ War: Corsair, and we’re excited to be able to announce the game has now launched on beta with a brand new bunch of features! Amongst the highlights are the introduction of the Winds of Magic, now you can hire Magic users to do battle, as well as two new races to encounter in the ocean! Meet the Sinister Skaven and the diminutive dwarves! As if that wasn’t enough we have introduced Flyers and Anti-Flyer weapons to take them out with!

Magic
The winds of magic blow strong, and wizards make their first appearance, both on ships and in their wizard towers scattered across the Old World! The flame-wielding wizards of the Bright Order and the weather masters of the Grey Order will join you for a price, while brutish Orc Shamans and devious Skaven Grey Seers plague the seas.

Flyers
Watch the skies for the noble Bretonnian Pegasus Knights, fierce Imperial Griffon Riders, and the vicious Orc War Wyverns as well as squigs.

Anti-Flyer Weapons
Refit your ship with a Hellblaster Volley Gun or a regiment of deadly archers to see off threats from above.

Skaven
Rumour has it that the Skaven have taken to the seas, in their flame-spewing Warp-raiders, toxic Deathburners, and dreaded Doombringers - each swarming with the vile creatures, as well as the occasional Rat Ogre.

Dwarfs
The mighty steam-driven fleets of the Dwarfs have sailed out of Barak Varr, including the resilient Monitors and Ironclads, immense Dreadnoughts, and the ingenious Nautilus submarines.

Full list of changes:
- Added the Dwarf and Skaven fleets to the game.
- Added Grey Wizards, Bright Wizards, Orc Shamans, and Grey Seers.
- Added wizard towers.
- Added regions of strong Winds of Magic.
- Changed default ‘switch character weapon’ key to R (and 1-4 will also jump to a particular weapon)
- Fixed numerous miscellaneous quest bugs, and added some more unique and randomised quests across the world.
- Added Griffons, Wyverns, and Pegasi to the game.
- Squigs!
- Added the Hellblaster Volley Gun, Bretonnian Archer Regiment, and Goblin Doomdivers.
- Added additional audio to the Captain’s Mate.
- Ship UI sections indicate weapons and movement being disabled by status effects, rather than only from destroyed damage sections.
- The firing arc arrow fades out while your own ship weapons are disabled by status effects.
- Fixed a bug where if your ship is sunk and despawns while you're looking at the map, the game over screen would never come up.
- Characters can now walk over the battlements of oared ships.
- Characters no longer poke their weapons through their shields when walking backwards.
- Added additional pirate ports to the coastline.
- Marienburg has a new sail design.
- Tutorial is not cancelled so easily by sailing the wrong way.
- Crew will no longer stagger just because they bumped into the player.
- Added an icon for burning damage sections.

- NPCs fighting other NPCs will now stagger each other more often and take more damage.
- Right clicking on your ship icon on the map now cancels your waypoint.
- AI pilot no longer auto-switches movement mode upon entering the map screen.
- Fixed a bug where a dead sharpshooter would reappear upon loading a save.
- Updated the Corsair model with more rigging and objects.
- When controlling a character, the player may now increase the game speed above 1x, but not below.
- Holding shift will now allow the player to run.
- The lantern of your own Wolfship and all ship splashes no longer appear in the spyglass.
- Updated crew navigation on the Greatship and Wolfship.
- Players can no longer step off the aft castle of the Wargalley and Wolfship, the fighting top on the Buccaneer, or the gun mounting on the Hell-hammer.
- The Hulk’s Iron Claws now properly disable when destroyed.
- Tweaked the movement and resurfacing of the Black Leviathan.
- Character health bars turn red if your crew is attacking you, and flash white on critical hits.
- Fixed some misaligned docking points in Marienburg.
- Abandoned pirate ports are correctly labelled, and plundered pirate ports will correctly save their status instead of giving infinite loot.
- Lyonesse now shows on the correct side of the island on the map.
- Updated ship navigation and terrain avoidance.

0.4.1:
- Destroyed ship sails are now furled
- Spare wizards should no longer sneak out of the warehouse and back onto the ship.
- Dwarven fleet encounter sizes increased
- Areas of strong magic are now only visible to ships with a wizard
- Added F10 to take a screenshot in-game (Known issue: MSAA causes screenshots to be black on ‘Fantastic’ settings, workaround: use ‘Beautiful’, this will be fixed in later patch)
- Player’s ship wizard will now cast spells automatically, can be configured from the Crew menu in the map/captain’s cabin screen.
- Squigs now explode on death.
- Rat ogres will lead the charge if present on a skaven ship.

The Skaven hit the Warhammer seas!
Man O'War: Corsair Update 0.4 is here and it's time for the Warhammer Dwarfs, Skaven, Flyers and Magic!

We’d just like to thank you all for your continued & amazing support for Man O’ War: Corsair, and we’re excited to be able to announce the game has now launched with a brand new bunch of features! Amongst the highlights are the introduction of the Winds of Magic. Now you can hire Magic users to do battle. Not only that, there are two new races to encounter in the ocean! Meet the Sinister Skaven and the diminutive Dwarfs! As if that wasn’t enough we have introduced Flyers and Anti-Flyer weapons to take them out with!

https://youtu.be/Pw9q-L79mfE

The features

Magic
The winds of magic blow strong, and wizards make their first appearance, both on ships and in their wizard towers scattered across the Old World! The flame-wielding wizards of the Bright Order and the weather masters of the Grey Order will join you for a price, while brutish Orc Shamans and devious Skaven Grey Seers plague the seas.

Flyers
Watch the skies for the noble Bretonnian Pegasus Knights, fierce Imperial Griffon Riders, and the vicious Orc War Wyverns as well as squigs.

Anti-Flyer Weapons
Refit your ship with a Hellblaster Volley Gun or a regiment of deadly archers to see off threats from above.

Skaven
Rumour has it that the Skaven have taken to the seas, in their flame-spewing Warp-raiders, toxic Deathburners, and dreaded Doombringers - each swarming with the vile creatures, as well as the occasional Rat Ogre.

Dwarfs
The mighty steam-driven fleets of the Dwarfs have sailed out of Barak Varr, including the resilient Monitors and Ironclads, immense Dreadnoughts, and the ingenious Nautilus submarines.

That is not all, you can go here for the full list of updates. (http://steamcommunity.com/games/344240/announcements/detail/947267730892305284)

Post by: Asid on October 07, 2016, 01:01:28 PM: Update 0.5 - The Winds of Chaos
Community Announcements - Fraser Evil Twin

Campaign and Faction Diplomacy

The campaign system is in - factions will fight for control of ocean regions and ports. Engage in diplomatic missions for the human factions to either break or to keep the peace. Defend against small chaos raids and larger invasions. More information available here:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/344240/discussions/0/350543389014039157/

Nurgle
The hideous Plaguecrushers and Plagueships of Nurgle spread disease and rot in their wake.

Slaanesh
Between the Hellrammer’s fanatical crews, the Hellslicer’s sharp blades cutting your sails to ribbons and the siren calls of the Hellship turning even your own crew against you, the minions of the Prince of Pleasure are not to be trifled with.

Tzeentch
Sailing on wings of magic the Great Winged Terror descends at lightning speed, while Chaos Sorcerers unleash hellish magics from their Bane Towers.

High Elves
The Elves are the greatest seafarers in the Old World. No other nation can match their deep knowledge of the sea and all its mysteries. No other race can match the speed of Elf warships, the skill of the Elf sailors or the long range of their devastating weapons.

Allies
Recruit allies to sail with you across the ocean. NB: Some captains will only sail with famous or infamous captains, you may have to build up your reputation (not to mention your coffers) first.

Post by: Asid on November 23, 2016, 02:43:04 PM: Reik's Fashion and Fledgling Griffon - Free DLC!
Community Announcements

We have been overwhelmed by the support we have received in developing Man O’ War: Corsair so far, we’re looking forward to bringing you even more as we work towards full release. To show we are grateful for all those who have given us such wonderful constructive criticism & contributed to making the game what it is, we have created two special DLCs to say thanks.

These DLCs are free to everyone who has bought already or who buys during Early Access.
(Reik’s Fashion will also be free to anyone who buys it in first week of full release)

We have had a lot of requests for more customisation for the main characters, so we trawled through the Warhammer archives to create the Reik’s Fashion DLC.

This allows you to dress in the height of Reik's fashion! The DLC includes a swish and not too rotting Shark hat, the Helm of the Skaven Slayer, plus more!

For the other DLC we thought the game could do with a lucky mascot! The majestic Fledgling Griffon is a morale booster for your crew. They are a superstitious lot and this beautiful creature is regarded as a sign of good luck!

Again thanks to everyone who has worked hard with us on this game so far. As fans of the original Man O’ War tabletop game it means a lot to us!

Redeeming
You should already have these activated on your account!

The Reik's Fashion clothing will appear in your captain's inventory (on loading a save game or starting a new game, it'll be there for all your human captains).

The Fledgling Griffon is available as a ship upgrade for any human ship in the refit menu at the docks/shipyard.

tl;dr
Thanks! Hats + Fledgling Griffon = Free DLC for Early Access purchasers! Thanks again!

Post by: Asid on April 06, 2017, 03:59:54 PM: To 1.0 and Beyond
4 APRIL

Greetings Captains!

When we first launched into Early Access back in April 2016 we had a rather optimistic note saying "four months". We suspected at the time we'd be working on things a little bit longer than that before we got to a 1.0 build we were happy with and thanks to the fantastic feedback and support from the Man O' War: Corsair community we've been able to keep ourselves busy for almost a year.

And I know from our feedback lists and discussions that we've got plenty of ideas, suggestions and feedback to keep us going for plenty of time to come.

Thanks to all that time, we now have a game that can float on its own hull - it's been tested in battle (lots of battles, so many orcs) and fire by you folks, many a bug has been found and fixed.

We have an in-depth open world sandbox campaign for the Independent humans, and a straight forward pillage and destroy campaign with Khorne. We have Custom Battles to allow you to fight any of the races against the others - 34 different ship types, 13 types of wizard.

So we just about feel ready to let other people on board - not just you brave early access pioneers and explorers.

I'm sure I can fit some more nautical puns in here somewhere...

Are we done then? Stick a stamp that says "1.0" and run off into the wilderness?

Don't be daft - we've got plans for the next few updates already set and there's a whole host of excellent ideas from the community that we'd like to put into place.

What can you expect from Man O' War: Corsair in the next few months?

Firstly, the 1.0 release - we'll be announcing the actual date of this soon but it's coming. There'll be some bug fixes and polishing tweaks in the run up to that.

Post-1.0 we'll be working on a few things but we aim to start with:
- additional Chaos campaigns
- Imperial and Bretonnian campaign
- Increased difficulty mode campaign (for those of you who find it too easy!)

Please do continue to give us your feedback and suggestions - we'd love to keep updating this game and if people are all asking for the same thing we know what we should do first!

Thanks once again to all of you for your feedback, bug reports, but more importantly your support and encouragement through Early Access - we couldn't ask for a better community.

- Skaven Doombringer bell now shows the volume level

Introducing the art of Man O’ War: Corsair, take a look behind the scenes at the art and artists involved with over 80 pages of detail and art. Also included in this pack is the classic Warhammer sea faring novel Fell Cargo written by Dan Abnett.

The Art of Man O' War: Corsair
An in-depth look into the creation of Man O' War: Corsair from the design of its buildings to the modelling of its characters and ships. The team behind the game talk about their approach to bringing this world to life, what software they use and the trials and tribulations of the creative process! Over 80 pages of art and interviews!

Fell Cargo
A Warhammer novel by Dan Abnett

When infamous pirate captain Luka Silvaro returns to reclaim his craft and crew, he is given the most important – and lucrative – assignment of his career: to defeat a monstrous daemon lord that haunts the Old World's oceans.

The oceans of the Old World have fallen silent. The waves are haunted by the Butcher Ship, a nightmare vessel manned by zombies and captained by a daemon lord. Its ghastly crew bring about a reign of terror on the high seas, killing anyone they encounter. When infamous pirate captain Luka Silvaro returns to reclaim his craft and crew, he is given the most important - and lucrative - assignment of his career. Supported by the Prince of Luccini, Silvaro knows he will be able to claim a king's ransom if he can defeat the daemon lord. But he will have to face treachery from within, the dangers of the high seas and the Chaos-infested crew of the Butcher Ship if he is to earn his reward.

“Come twilight, they rowed ashore and beached in a small, high-sided cove of shingle and mossy rock west of the harbour bay. He knew the way, and led his companion sure-footedly up the cove path, over the grassy headland and down towards the lantern lights of the ramshackle town.”

Post by: Asid on October 10, 2017, 04:46:21 PM: Update 1.2 - Dark Delights
10 OCTOBER - FRASER EVIL TWIN

(http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/11339297/bfbb8f2e3e28058f8479669c1b757e1dcfe6b4fa.jpg)

This update brings the Slaanesh Chaos campaign and a feature much requested by the community: ship capture, as well as a new camera view option for all ships.

Slaanesh Campaign
Transform the old world into a hedonistic paradise for the glory of the Prince of Pleasure. More than just destruction is your goal as you corrupt the minds of the enemy crew and send your acolytes to spread the unspeakable joys of service to Slaanesh, turning the human ports into hives of decadence.

Ship Capture
Independent captains and Slaanesh captains are now able to capture enemy ships.

For the independent captain, as long as it's something your crew can steer you can put a prize crew aboard and have them take the ship back to port. Beware that the owning faction will attack the ship on sight. Once in port you can either sell the ship or pay to have the shipwrights repair the damage, clean the barnacles, and replace the rusty old cannon so that you can sail the ship anew. Be careful to keep it out of sight of its previous owners still (though rumour has it that some of the less law abiding ports can help with that).

For Slaanesh, capture is a means to an end - capture an enemy ship (ideally with half its crew already on your side from the Radiance of Slaanesh) and send your most human-looking cultists aboard, back to the ships home port. On reaching port they'll infiltrate the town and start to corrupt it. With enough cultists and a bit of time the port will become defenceless, its citizens too intent on their revels to care about anything else. At this point you may either leave them to praise Slaanesh with their carnal ways or burn the port to the ground as an offering.

Ship upgrades
Ship upgrades no longer have a limit based on the type - instead all ship upgrades come with a cargo space cost. You can choose to sacrifice more of your carrying capacity in order to build up those guns and reinforce every surface you can find.

Tactical View
Press 'V' (or Y button on gamepad) when sailing to toggle between standard Captain sailing view and a zoomed out Tactical view which shows your entire ship.

Full list of changes:
- Added Slaanesh campaign
- Added Ship Capture mechanic
- Ship upgrades now cost cargo space and are no longer limited by type
- Controlled character camera now moves above the player if it would be pushed too close by geometry.
- Added icons for when your character is locking onto an enemy (by blocking or mid-swing). Updated icons for enemies who are targeting you and nearby enemies out of view
- Khorne campaign start now locked until Independent campaign is completed (unless 'skip tutorial' is toggled in the options or you've played Khorne previously)
- Nurgle and Slaanesh captains can now Ascend
- Additional sail designs for Nurgle and Slaanesh
- Global movement AI ships will collect cargo from enemies they sink
- Ships can now be sold from the warehouse
- Selling a ship from the warehouse will transfer any remaining crew to the player ship, or the tavern depending on space
- Journal shows latest entry on opening, more entries per page, formatting made clearer
- Melee Chain attacks are now much more reliable to trigger
- Fixed a bug with To Smell a Rat quest
- Player ally ships get a small boarding bonus vs AI
- Hellships get a boarding bonus in AI vs AI fights

Update 1.2.1:
- Added zoomed out Tactical View, press V (or Y button on gamepad) when sailing to toggle between normal sailing view and tactical sailing view.
- Hellship sails hidden when using anti-flyer weapon
- Reduced volume on Hellship ambient screams
- Slightly increased late-game build up speed of aggressive factions
- Fix for null error with piloting captured ships.
- Added additional info to crew on capture ship screen
- Moved Capture Ship button to be more obvious
- Crew piloting a captured prize ship will leave their weapons
- Crew piloting a prize ship will move to the tavern after docking (and can be rehired without any up front cost)
- Removed duplicate shrine rewards for Slaanesh
- AI Allies generate less aggro from enemies from accidental damage
- First mate will only warn if you're under attack if you were not already under attack.
- Moved captain load in point in Alquezaro
- Can no longer send a captured ship to a razed port
- Increased value of sacrificed cargo (Chaos campaigns)
- Improved look of Slaanesh corruption UI on ports
- Smoothed melee animations for AI
- Player character defaults to running
- Wolfship front sails hidden whilst aiming front cannons

Post by: Asid on December 01, 2017, 03:24:35 PM: Update 1.3 - Pledge your allegiance

Bretonnian and Empire campaigns!

Begin your life as a newly conscripted captain in the Bretonnian or Empire navy. A trickier start than the regular independent game, you'll be commanding either a Buccaneer or a Wargalley.

As a member of your faction's navy you'll be able to capture sea zones and even ports for your home nation, though all your actions will have diplomatic consequences - attack ships from a neutral nation and a war is likely. You'll also have to keep an eye out for relations breaking down depites your actions - a hostile nation suddenly declaring war as you sail through their waters.

Joining the navy has other benefits, with enough loyalty built up with your faction you'll be able to hire elite units such as Sergeants of the Empire and Knights of the Realm.

Elite units come with a special trait (or sometimes several) which make them significantly more powerful than normal crew, but they're not cheap. Bretonnians can also hire Knights of the Realm who gain new traits as they level up, becoming especially powerful at high levels.

You can also hire captains for any spare ships you buy or capture - build your own fleet for an invasion.

Independent captains can also get in on the naval action - if you can build up enough loyalty with a human faction they'll offer to let you join their navy. This comes with all the benefits and downsides above. If you choose you can try leading the Wastelanders to glory or perhaps pledge allegiance to the Pirate Princes of Sartosa.

Beware if you choose to betray the faction you have joined, attacking your own faction's ports, hurting allies of your own faction or just destroying your favour with your own faction by attacking your fellow navy ships will lead to a banishment - you'll forever be hostile to that faction.

Finally, it wouldn't be right to join the navy without flying the correct flags - the sailmaker's shop has now opened at the shipwright's office.

It is with a heavy heart, we must announce the end of Man O' War: Corsair on the Steam Store. The game is going to be discontinued on the Steam Store due to changes in the the license agreement with Games Workshop.

I for one will still be playing it in my Steam library and it won't affect anyone who has purchased the game on Steam. The game was released on Early Access in 2016 and as Man O' War and GW fans it was amazing to work on our own little pocket of Warhammer.

I want to thank the community for their support and hope you are all ok during what is a difficult time. One day soon I hope we can all come together again at gaming events, whether video games or battling on the tabletops!
