I was just going to ask the same thing. How will naval combat work? Will it be the same as the land battles? I suspect a player will be able to build ports and build different naval units?

Yes there will be naval battles, that will work in the same way as land battles. Work on these won't start until after Early Access release though, so I can't say too much, other than that they're planned to be in the game.

Good :)

Red cliffs plz

The sea battle is very interesting
