Mount and Blade II Bannerlord just dropped its War Sails expansion for about 25 bucks, and it finally brings naval combat after years of the community begging for it. TaleWorlds Entertainment is wiping old saves to give everyone a clean slate with the new maritime warfare system, which adds the Nords faction back into the mix, along with fresh coastal cities and port areas you can actually walk around in.
The naval battles themselves are pretty intricate when you're trying to coordinate entire fleets and deal with wind conditions, though most fights still end up as boarding parties smashing into each other. The expansion tweaks the whole economy and trading system since coastal hubs matter way more when ships are involved, but some bugs and freezes keep popping up even after multiple patches.
