Powder & Blood

Powder & Blood aims to fill the gaps of Nassau 1715.
For that purpose new content has been specifically created and added, everything from new ships, over new weapons, all the way to a brand-new map is included!

Should you have questions regarding the sailing mechanics or are looking for likeminded people then feel free to join the Nassau 1715 Discord[discord.gg].

See below for a full breakdown.

Ships:

Two new ships types have been added:
– Ketch
– Schooner
Both of these aim to plug the gap between the smaller sloop and bigger frigate. Each ship with its own armament and sailing characteristics!

Simplified Sailing:

For those that enjoy a more casual playstyle than what Nassau offers out-of-the-box a new, simplified, way of sailing has been added.
All ships have a separate version under a section called ‘Ships (Simplified)’ – on these ships you only need to raise sails once and they will keep adjusting towards the wind automatically until lowered again, giving you more time to steer, man the cannons or work the pumps.

AI Ships:

All Nassau 1715, as well as Powder & Blood, ships are now available with a full AI crew! No longer do you need a group of players to have naval battles.
AI ships can be found in the editor/zeus and will be crewed on mission start. The ships will folllow waypoints and engange any ship not on their own side.

AI Crews:

Any ship in Nassau and PaB can now be easily crewed with AI gunners, simply tick the checkbox in the entities editor attributes and you are good to go. AI gunners will fire the ships weapons and work the pumps.

Various AI settings can be tweaked using CBAs addon settings – these apply to full AI ships as well as AI gun crews.
