Pick a nation and one of 27 classes, then stand shoulder to shoulder firing musket volleys on your officer's orders, crew cannons, ride with the cavalry or command a warship. Proximity voice chat and the game's regiments make every battle social, from chaotic public fights to drilled line battles.

Fight field battles, sieges and coastal assaults, or sail warships into battle.

Your server stays up when you log off, so drills and events run on your schedule.
