The Ancient Art of War at Sea is the sequel to the Ancient Art of War, where the battle campaigns now takes place in the vast oceans of naval combat. The game is a top-down semi real-time strategy game. The game has different speed/time settings (slower to faster), hence the player may manage strategies while remaining in real-time mode. As its predecessor, the game comes with different difficulty settings, symbolized by several famous naval commanders and also comes with a game editor.
The Ancient Art of War at Sea includes a powerful game generator. So you can actually create your own naval battles. Determine every detail, from the makeup of the fleets to the danger of the waters they'll sail in. Even design your own continents and oceans. Then, when you've played your game, you can save it or alter it to play again and again. You can play thousands of times... yet never play the same game twice!
With the introduction of gunpowder, the sailing warships began to play a critical role in world history. By the mid-19th Century, no nation could hope to command its own destiny unless it could command the seas as well. Now, you can challenge five of history's greatest naval commanders as you refight some of the world's most important naval battles. Or create entirely new campaigns... and write your own history!
