Nations and their wars are at the heart of Naval Action.

Nations

Depending upon which nation you choose the difficulty of the game varies significantly. With all of the nations being at war with each other, sailors of one nation may not enter the ports of any other nation except trading vessels. Free Ports, Neutral Ports, and in PvP Open Ports are the exception to that rule.

  • The more difficult nations have a smaller number of national ports thus making it harder to acquire resources for their nation.
  • In PvP difficulty may change as ports are captured by the competing nations.
  • The recently added nations of Prussia, Russia, and Poland are also more difficult in that they have no colonial capitals and hence no Admiralties.

Neutral

After patch 9.61 neutrals are no longer a playable nation Neutral ports may be entered by sailors of all nations.

Free Ports

Free ports are similar to Neutrals except that they are unconquerable.

Starting Difficulty

Below are images of the starting setup of national ports.

The difficulty rating indicates the starting setup of national ports. The more difficult nations have a smaller amount of ports to start with, thus being more harder to spread and provide resources for the nation and vice versa. Difficulty rating should not be addressed as a permanent value, as it changes server to server depending on the port distribution across nations.

Nations at war

Realm vs. Realm (RvR) gameplay in Naval Action occurs as nations compete to capture ports. Port capture is a two step process:

  1. Raise hostility on the port
  2. Win port battle.
