- Included cavalry standard bearers
- Re-worked AI, redesigned to provide a sustainable challenge to the player.
- More tactical land battles, with unit cost and stat changes
- Stronger Hulls - Ships of the line usually don't sink
- Realistic Maneuverability - Ships don't have a brake. They can not turn 90° on the spot. Ship maneuverability has been changed, while keeping large differences between the different ship sizes
- Useful Ammunition - Each shot-type shall have its uses, yet not be overpowered. Round shot is the most accurate, yet only really effective against hull and cannons. Chain shot hurts the sails, but is very inaccurate. Grape shot decimates the crew, but can only be used at short range
