[D_G] Pukovnik7 Players 918 posts 5,430 battles Report post #1 Posted March 19, 2021 Considering the weird events World of Warships used to have, is there any chance for a World of Triremes? I think it would be fun change of pace, plus I'm suffering from a bit of a ramming withdrawal ever since I started playing destroyers. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want play with triremes just buy or crack (best if you buy it because it's a great game from the naval aspect) Assassin Creed Odyssey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you can have stronger but less manouverable ships vs the opposite. flamethrowers mega ballistas etc. Powerups etc. Healing etc. Speed gauges are not in knots it is normal speed , battle speed, attack speed , ramming speed but naturally you have limited energy (rowing energy) reserves looks like an interesting thing to build on. I must say that the original movie are quite "inspiring". Do i even have to state that the drum should be carried over? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We already have them, they are called the Italian BB line, as ramming is the only reliable armament on the ships as the guns are 100% slot machines... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In glorious memory of the naval battle of Milazzo during the Punic wars between the Roman Empire and the Carthaginians.
