From the January 29th you will be able to buy Man O' War: Corsair and its DCLs for 90% off. This sale will end on Sunday when the Steam store will close for good so get it while you can!

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!

Our next game - Victory At Sea Ironclad - has been announced today, and you can check it out here. Thanks so much for the support so far everyone. It's been a long time since the original, but we have been listening and we won't stop listening. Since releasing Victory At Sea Pacific we have been constantly asked whether there would be a follow up. Different eras and age of sail come up a lot as a request.
Set during the American Civil War, Victory At Sea Ironclad gives the player opportunities to not only sail but take control of huge paddle steamers, you can even build and command the fearsome Ironclads of the title. The American Civil War was a time of great military innovation, from experimental tactics to technology. It was a new kind of warfare and was an exciting era to try next. It seemed fitting considering it spanned sailing ships and lots of weird and wonderful vessels! If you want to know more we will be showing the game off with the creators of the original Tabletop franchise today at 5:00 PM GMT and 9:00 AM PDT Joint the stream at the link below https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/group/38511516/view/2930113815186420321
Victory At Sea Ironclad is a huge Open World RTS where you play out the entire Civil War, making history with every decision made. Victory At Sea Ironclad will launch on Steam in Early Access in the New Year. You can check out the new Steam page for Victory At Sea Ironclad here https://store.steampowered.com/app/1299330/Victory_At_Sea_Ironclad/ We plan to start streaming live gameplay sessions and we will announce when on the forums.

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. Full list of changes: - Added Bretonnian start - Added Imperial Start - Added military mission to join faction navy (requires high loyalty) - Added faction diplomacy effects for player when belonging to a faction navy. - Added capturing of ports for human factions (if joined a navy) - Added military and elite troops for hire from military screen - Added knight specific crew tree for Bretonnian Knight elite crew - Added shipless captains to hire for spare ships in military screen - Added sailmaker's shop to shipyard (can change sail design, and if member of faction use the navy sail designs) - Added new missions for faction members - Faction diplomacy messages shown on main screen for navy faction - Turning in bounties now gives a small bonus to loyalty (previously only gave favour) - Joining a faction gives additional discount on ships/refits/repairs - Feedback messages now appear on map screen - Boarding a bane tower mid-challenge should be less weird - Improved fog when in tactical view - Flag preview fixed on custom battle - Adjusted tactical viewpoint on bane tower - Fixed aiming arrow for Bane Tower and Great Winged Terror in tactical view - Hellrammer sail will show correct design - Added helmeted option for Chaos Lord - Fixed randomising fleets in custom battle spending too much on upgrades - Hellslicer AI improved - Improved Greatship combat AI - Fixed bug where captured quest ships could vanish - Removed weird music source near Sitges - Bridge at bordeleaux is now solid - Added translation text for 1.2 update for german/french/hungarian - Crew bonus can now go up to 150% efficiency for cannons, oars, sailing - Healthbars now show skulls on powerful/elite troops - High level enemy AI ships have a chance of spawning elite crew - AI Fleets now give up chasing a ship if it gets captured - Ship purchase screen and Warehouse now show skulls to give a guide to how powerful ships are Update 1.3.1: - Inventory screen clothing/weapons buttons will take you to the outfit screen/equipment screen respectively - Added ability to transfer flyer between ships - Can now buy/sell spears for crew - Dismissing a wizard will leave them in the port to be re-hired - Fixed bugs with warehoused ships, flyers and wizards - Added Loyalty to the captain detail screen - Fixed a bug which could cause your old ship to attack your new ship when transferring at sea - Fixed a bug which caused ordered flyers to continue to attack surrendered ships - Adjusted docking at Tilean ports - Elite crew can no longer have negative traits when hiring (can still gain injury traits) - Military crew now only lists elite crew - Restricted role crew will no longer get inappropriate skills (i.e. no qualified surgeons that can't be assigned to surgeon) - Fixed a bug with dismissed crew reapparing on the ship - Fixed a bug with crew not correctly being assigned from the military screen - Fixed a bug which in some cases led to the player starting in a faction when choosing independent start. - Adjusted Naval Defence quest to prevent 0 reward - Adjusted fleet-based quests - Fixed a bug preventing the player fleet capturing empty zones. - On capturing an empty zone, player's faction will send patrol fleets to hold it if possible

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 - Camera behaves better around railings during boarding

Welcome to the release build of Man O' War: Corsair. This release doesn't bring any new features in itself, but is the culmination of all of our past updates with a few extra bug fixes. Here's an overview of what's happened since our initial alpha 0.1: 0.2: This update brought us chaos invaders in the form of the Khorne fleets, expanded the available map to include the oceans around Bretonnia, added Orc ports, pirate ports, and looting. Also the dreaded Black Leviathan was spotted beneath the waves. 0.3: Our biggest request in the first few months had been for melee combat - which wasn't originally part of the plan! Our first iteration was released in 0.3 along with a whole load of swords, axes and other melee weapons. 0.4: Dwarfs! Skaven! Flyers! Magic! I guess the name of that one covers it - two of the most popular races in the Warhammer universe took to the seas as enemies in this update, as well as two of the eight colleges of magic (all eight are in now!) plus flyers and anti-flyer weapons for your ships. 0.5: This update brought in the faction diplomacy and the control of sea regions - the human forces now patrol their territories, bicker over border disputes and attempt to annex each other's ports. All of this despite the hostile forces gathering in the deep oceans, now numbering Nurgle, Slaanesh and Tzeentch. High elf ships were also spotted on the waves at this time. 0.6: Crew management - no longer just a number, your crew are now individuals with their own names, levels, equipment. Undead! Ware those who venture out on Geheimnisnacht when the undead fleets sail forth. 0.7: Level up! Skills for your captain as you level up. Estalia and Tilea join the fray, expanding the map all the way south to Sartosa. The latest fashions from Miragliano also arrive, with a whole host of hats and outfits available to customise your captain. For those with a more practical mind we also added addtional ammo types for your cannon. 0.8: Blood for the Blood God! Our chaos campaign's debut, but not only that, you can now walk around in all of the ports in the old world (and then slay their inhabitants... well, depending on which side you're on) 0.9: Custom battles - ever wondered what chance a lone nautilus prowling the depths would have against an orc fleet? or perhaps you just want to control those giant claws on the Hulk yourself for a change... we added a new game mode which lets you try all this and more. We've also added Linux support, SteamOS support as well as Gamepad and Steam Controller support! Welcome aboard new captains, here's looking forward to 1.1 .... ---- Patch notes: - Reduced the frequency your crew will admire your gunnery skills - Added missing descriptions for non-human weapons - Eye for a profit captain skill no longer directs you to pirate ports if you're not friendly with pirates - Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the music playing - Skaven crew are now assigned in custom battles - Fixed a bug with Deliver Diplomat quest not affecting the faction ratings correctly - Fixed an issue with the Gold Wizard's cloak affecting FPS - Fixed quests which were showing the wrong icon for the player hero

Update 0.9.6: - Made shields more effective against enemy guns - Increased the supply levels of the human forces later in the game - Fixed a number of issues with Bane Towers and boarding - Fixed an issue with language folders which prevented some users changing language - Fixed a number of quest issues - Fixed some problems with firing positions in custom battle ships - Warehouse fixed for gamepad use - Fixed a bug with ordering the wizard to stop casting - Fixed a bug which caused some in-town game saves to load in an invalid state - Fixed an issue with getting more than one piece of news in tavern when using gamepad

Our launch trailer shows some of the additions and improvements we've made over the past year in Early Access: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ImKO_toGrE More information about 1.0 and beyond can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/344240/announcements/detail/646671482169453160

Patch 0.9.5: - Added spanish translation - Hired crew no longer bring weapons with them, instead equipping any available weapons from the player's inventory (or fighting unarmed) - Crew weapons can now be sold for 1/5th of their purchase price - Fixed a bug with Destroy Fleet missions (were showing as "Lost Treasure of Neue Emskrank") - Treasure map hints are now localised - Subtitles will now show on the intro video for non-english language settings - English subtitles can be turned on for the intro video in Gameplay options - Pressing escape whilst selecting from the command menu now cancels the command menu, rather than opening the pause menu - Infamy is no longer increased by knocking your First Mate unconscious - Infamy now affects crew initial hire prices - normal human crew will require a larger upfront payment to join your crew as your Infamy increases. Alternatively, pirate crew will require more payment to join your crew if your infamy is low. - Fixed some interface issues with skaven doombringer bell, ironshark bite - Skaven Doombringer bell now shows the volume level - Made adding a custom language file easier

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.

We're pleased to announce Man O' War: Corsair is now available on Linux - official supported platforms are Ubuntu 14.10+ and SteamOS but most modern linuxes should run it OK (our engine is Unity so that determines what we're able to support). Make sure your drivers are up to date, and check the minimum and recommended requirements.

Just a few fixes and the addition of the german translation files! 0.9.2: - Added german translation files - Fixed a bug with dpad controls on windows - Fixed a bug with crew being stranded on the fighting tops - Improved Doomdiver anti-air weapon

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!

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.
