World of Warships: Age of Sail is a naval action-themed massively multiplayer online game designed by Bynamax Digital and published by Belarusian-Cypriot company Wargaming featuring several aspects similar to Wargaming's World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, and World of Warships. Abbreviated as WOWS:AS, Age of Sail dips into the historical sea battles of cannon-armed, sailing tall ships from the 16th to mid-19th century; the Age of Sail. It is built on a freemium business model where the game is free-to-play, but participants also have the option of paying a fee for the use of “premium” features. The focus is on player vs. player gameplay with each player controlling a masted sailing warship from the Age of Sail, primarily distinguished from other Wargaming series’ for its use of an 8-tier system rather than a 10-tier, and similar for its type system where the warship may be a ‘gunboat’, a ‘sloop’, a ‘post-ship’, a ‘great-ship’, a ‘battleship’, or a ‘bomb’.
Gameplay[]
Battles will take place on specific maps with their own atmosphere, weather conditions, and flow of battle (game mode), in which maps are often based on real historical naval battles and skirmishes taking place during the Age of Sail (Málaga, Rügen Island, Toulon, Minorca, Negapatam, Cuddalore, Pondicherry, Ushant, Dogger Bank, The Chesapeake, Hogland, Öland, Lake Erie, Trafalgar, Fort Sumter, etc.), places in history (Hong Kong, San Francisco, Constantinople, Anchorage, Nassau), and more significantly geographic maps (Ocean, Thunderstorm, Lagoon, Foggy Coast, Volcano, etc.). To win each battle the player will need to employ different strategies, depending on the role of their vessel, the map structure, and the game mode. Players gain experience and credits based on their performance within battles, which can be used to research and purchase additional ships of varying tiers of progression as they advance through the tech trees of various nations. The types of warship available will be gunboats, sloops, post-ships, great-ships, battleships, and bombs. These ships are mostly based on real historical ships from a variety of historical forces such as the British Royal Navy, the French (Royal, Revolutionary, and Napoleonic) Navy, the US Continental Navy, the Dutch Navy, the Royal Spanish Navy, the Royal Portuguese Navy, the Prussian Navy, the Imperial Russian Navy, the Ottoman Navy, and the Imperial Chinese (Qing) Navy, as well the legendary ships of rogue privateers and pirates (premium ships).
