“You know how in movies or tv shows you will sometimes see someone playing an offscreen game, hitting random controller buttons and you hear random video game noises coming from the tv? THIS IS THAT GAME.”
that game is surrealism at its finest.

I’m actually working on something like this.
It was going to be a webcomic, but because I’m going back to school for video game design and programming I plan on combining all my story ideas into one for my portfolio in a thirty minute game(can’t do longer cause realistically one person can only do so much and making a forty hour game with one person in a year and half is not realistic).

I have to agree there. Honestly. I want a story where werewolves and vampires have been known about since like Roman times and are normal citizens. And that it shows how their presence have effected society’s growth,

Am I the only one that thinks the whole, “keep vampires and stuff hidden from humans” trope is stupid? What I mean by that is if I was a mythological vampire I would walk straight up to a company that makes it’s profits through medical research and go, “Yo dude, biologically immortal beings would be a insanely high profit and people would be throwing hundreds of billions of dollars at you to develop it. Well I’m a mythological vampire, hire me to study my biology and you got it”. Considering how much money there would be in making medicine that makes it to where people are biologically immortal would have a insanely high profit in the end and I would probably be one of the richest people alive.

There’d be some finesse into it since naval combat is about maneuvering for the most part. In the Battle of Lissa the Austrians beat the Italians despite being outnumbered two-to-one, but that’s because they had managed to get the Italian force divided and they became very ineffective. And when the “main” part of the battle happened the Austrians managed to get the Italian force down enough that they out numbered them.
You also got the internal politics going on within the navies. The two guys in command of the Italian effort basically hated each other and one refused to join the battle because he hated the other so much.

The style of warfare up until the advent of sail and its show of force at the Battle of Lepanto has always involved ramming or boarding the other ship. The Italian Merchant Republics would often row their ships up next to each other, secure the two, then fight on giant floatsam of blood and violence until everyone died.
And there was no retreat, you’d fight or drown. There’s no third-way. They followed the ancient traditions set down by the Greeks and Romans.
Hell, ramming and boarding again became a thing at the advent of armored battleships in the late 19th century. There’s a few battles (in particular the Battle of Lissa between Austria and Italy) where both navies were trying to ram each other. The invention of the ironclad sort of made guns irrelevant again when shells could rarely pierce armor, so ships just sort of became floating artillery pieces for lighter ships or landing support, they had to otherwise drive right into each other to be effective.
Once Armor Piercing and High Explosive ordinance came into the mainstream, ramming went out as a conventional tactic and was only used a few times since, I think mostly as the last or a desperate act.
And since I invoked the Battle of Lisa I just got to invoke this painting on Anton Romako:

Well the Romans didn’t really have a navy. They were a more up-close and personal type of warmongerers.

@SquiggyBomb
the lack of iamges or art of it implies it wasnt that big in those times, but it probably was the same shit as in roman times.

Well I believe naval warfare in medieval times was pretty much nonexistent. Although if had to make a guess, it’d probably be like Greek naval warfare. Bumrush ’em.
