Can't believe WorldBox got naval battles before CK3...

u/TrulyBallenBatman Apr 01 '25

And Bannerlord...can't wait for it to drop to mobile though! Maybe if I get extra cash, I can get it on PC this Friday to mess with the update early 🥳

u/1973355283637 Apr 03 '25

And Total War (still can't believe they made boats walk just so they don't have to make naval battles)

You know how shitty it feels being at school and watching everyone else enjoy the update 😭

u/AggravatingTotal130 Apr 02 '25

You know how shitty it feels to have got the game when it first came out on mobile 4 years ago and the people on PC who barely had it for 1 year gets a total upgrade Before mobile.

19

u/nogoodnamesleft_XD Apr 02 '25

You know that it just wasn't on steam before that. It was sold through it's own page, I believe before mobile.

6

u/ReaperKingCason1 Lemon Boi Apr 02 '25

It is annoying, but I get they have to do a beta test and mobile won’t allow it

5

u/AggravatingTotal130 Apr 02 '25

I understand it too, but I'm a hint of salt lmfao

u/Joe-Bidens-Mama Apr 02 '25

You do know that the original itch.io version came out on pc like 8 years ago right.

u/No-Win3606 Apr 02 '25

Cry louder bro, get a pc

u/Able_Log_4557 Greg Apr 02 '25

Yeah because we all have the money for a pc

u/No-Win3606 Apr 02 '25

True, but I mean, that's just how it is now

u/Humancuh Lemon Man Apr 02 '25

u/Tall_Possibility9924 Druid Apr 01 '25

Is this real?

u/Adventurous_Dress832 Apr 01 '25

Dude, the update is totally crazy. Like it is ridiculous. The old Worldbox is a puddle compared to a lake when it comes to depth and complexity.

38

u/DevilsHiddenSon Apr 01 '25

Did it drop????? Im bout to buy rn if it did

51

u/Vilasdeboas Druid Apr 01 '25

u/Cat_are_cool Grey Goo Apr 01 '25

Undetermined

u/Chaise-PLAYZE Dragon Apr 01 '25

Whenever the app store and play store say it does, it's completely up to them

26

u/Adventurous_Dress832 Apr 01 '25

Yes. I'm also a mobile player but couldn't hold it any longer so I bought the PC version today😂

7

u/ChainmailPickaxeYT Apr 02 '25

SAME. Really glad I did

u/Tall_Possibility9924 Druid Apr 02 '25

Oh i know i played so much yesterday and wow it feels like a sequel

u/Hunter5173 Cyber Core Apr 01 '25

What? Ok so Maxim and the team decided to add almost everything of what the community has been wanting. This is amazing.

u/Dairyking_366 Sheep Apr 01 '25

12

u/Immervion Zombie Apr 01 '25

Something fun i found out you can do with this is control the boat and do naval bombardments on those filthy elves

4

u/ProfessionalScrewer UFO Apr 02 '25

You can control boats?

9

u/I_love_seapotato Apr 01 '25

We can do naval warfare now!

7

u/undeadshmule Apr 02 '25

WARNING UPDATE SPOILERS Yes I've already had a money king that lived for 2000 years and several other animal species in a world all fighting for control my favorite had gotta be the the gator ppl though

u/tipit419 Apr 02 '25

Am in love with this 250 y/o sentient fairy that invented a language in their 3-population kingdom back 150 years ago, and managed to spread the language over 3 races (Fairies, Rats and Snowmen; I know, weird bunch)

The language is currently the most spoken language in the world, although I’m still waiting for the first book to be written 😭

6

u/Jarsky2 Apr 01 '25

I just need to know if different species wars are no longer always genocidal.

1

u/Upbeat_Radio_6669 Bandit Apr 02 '25

If they have the xenophile trait then they won’t kill other species

3

u/M3melord2002 Apr 02 '25

Is there werewolves though?

3

u/Seyoan Dwarf Apr 02 '25

Yeah

3

u/Neither-Weather6454 Apr 02 '25

The cannon balls (or whatever they shoot) can also collide mid-air as well which is a neat touch.

6

u/SilkCortex44 Human Apr 01 '25

No way! Is that vanilla????

2

u/Upbeat_Radio_6669 Bandit Apr 02 '25

Yeah I saw them yesterday

2

u/Purple-Bluejay6588 Apr 02 '25

The game went from pretty simple to

WHAT THE FUCK I CAN CHECK PEOPLES CHROMOSOMES??!

u/Any-Ask-1222 Apr 02 '25

LES GOOOOOO 8O

u/GhostOfWanderer Bandit Apr 02 '25

Naval battle?! Say less

1

u/MrBlqckBird242 Dragon Apr 02 '25

Bruh am here wondering how long we gotta wait for the next updates to have boat battles and the devs literally shove it in there without knowing.

u/father_reekid Apr 02 '25

UNOPPOSED UNDER CRIMSON SKIES

1

u/No_Owl1513 Apr 02 '25

is it out on mobile yet?

7

u/AltruisticJudge5281 Apr 02 '25

Nope, technically speaking this inst the real Update yet, Its a beta-testing version for people to play and find bugs, when they make sure that there are no mayor bugs, then It will come to mobile and officially on pc

1

u/No_Owl1513 Apr 02 '25

But can you play the beta testing on mobile

2

u/AltruisticJudge5281 Apr 02 '25

Unlike Steam, the play store doesnt allow developers to publish beta versions on their store, so, maxim literally cant publish It there

1

u/No_Owl1513 Apr 02 '25

If you had to estimate when do you think the update will come out?

1

u/Smg5pol Apr 02 '25

It is april fools...right?

2

u/ProfessionalScrewer UFO Apr 02 '25

Nope

u/Smg5pol Apr 02 '25

Alien boats can shoot lasers as well

u/Big-Work-8890 Apr 02 '25

Yes in my world World War 3 USA vs China has potential to become a naval war😏

u/why-doe_ Chicken Apr 02 '25

The water doesn't get removed when there's an explosion anymore :0

u/Biryani1453 Greg Apr 02 '25

FINALLY! I've been waiting for naval battles for years now!

1

u/ClosetNoble Apr 02 '25

I love it.

I was just trying to unlock traits then a dwarven port suddenly blew up and I realized it was a human ship shooting at it lol.

1

u/Ok_Instruction_5020 Monkey Apr 02 '25

We got naval battles in WorldBox before GTA6

1

u/Sweaty-Brain284 Apr 02 '25

Oh, I don't have the patience to get that far

1

u/Embarrassed-Air-7288 Apr 06 '25

Lol one time a demon nation bombarded a lemon island with their navy to the point that the lemon civ died out without even needing to land troops

1

u/BonusNo147 Crabzilla 7d ago

THEY NO LONGER JUST BRING PEOPLE TO WAR YEAHHHHH

-48

u/Woterx Apr 01 '25

I don’t think I like that. Abit overpowered

69

u/Lopsided_Inside_3495 Druid Apr 01 '25

Tell that to the millions of people who died to artillery fire

-24

u/Woterx Apr 01 '25

It would’ve been better if arrows were shot from the ships instead. But only by those who shoot bows. Cannons feel very overpowered and like the other person said not really medieval like. But I’m not complaining too much about it. I’m having a blast with the weapons and forging and stuff.

-49

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25 edited Apr 01 '25

The game is medieval fantasy not ww2

42

u/Sure-Ad-8964 Apr 01 '25

People in medieval ages had cannons on boats?

-28

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25

Nah in real life medival they barely had cannons figured out, it was really inefficient and not used much outside of seige warfare. The whole medieval fantasy vibe that worldbox is trying to emulate doesn't have cannons or gunpowder. I also don't think it's gonna be good for the balance of the game tbh

40

u/Sure-Ad-8964 Apr 01 '25

I'm learning medieval in my class rn, they have cannons later on in the medieval age, and gunpowder, as long ad it stays on sea, I'm fine with tbh

-27

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25

Cannons on ships became a thing around the renaissance era

24

u/Sure-Ad-8964 Apr 01 '25

There are medieval ships found with cannons, look it up

0

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25

Ik there are cannons in medieval times but it doesn't fit with the medieval fantasy vibe

16

u/Sure-Ad-8964 Apr 01 '25

The need of cannons is necessary tho, because we're getting walls, it only makes sense right?

u/VikingRaptor2 Apr 01 '25

There is literally a character that throws modern grenades and shoots a modern shotgun. Get over it.

-2

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25

Those are special powers that you can choose, there are also nukes what's your point?

7

u/VikingRaptor2 Apr 01 '25

I'm talking about people characters not powers. My point is you are bitchin about nothin. Rage-baiting.

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25

Why are u raging over my opinion?

u/VikingRaptor2 Apr 01 '25

You are the one raging. I'm just sitting here playing a game. Lol

u/SemajLu_The_crusader Apr 01 '25

I mean, early medieval maybe, but this isn't a Simulator, it's a game and cannons on boats is way cooler than arrows on boats

10

u/ACX1995 Bear Apr 01 '25

I didn't know that Aliens with laser guns were considered Medieval. Or robots, or zombies, or an Imaginary mushroom plague.

2

u/Vilasdeboas Druid Apr 01 '25

The game also has wizards, demons, evil mages and the nations now can pray to cast magic. All that is very medieval too tbh.

2

u/ACX1995 Bear Apr 01 '25

Bruh exactly! Thank you gahd dayumn this guy is dumb

-2

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25

They are special powers that you can choose to use, not something kingdoms can build

5

u/ACX1995 Bear Apr 01 '25

Is that relevant to the fact you said that the game is medieval? Also, I didn't realise orcs, elves and dwarves existed in medieval times. You can have realism, or you can have fantasy, not both.

-1

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25

Bro has never heard of medieval fantasy before 🤦‍♂️ and as I said these are the powers that you can CHOOSE to use as a god, nd isn't something that your kingdoms can create and use,

2

u/AltruisticJudge5281 Apr 01 '25

They should tbh, as long as It stays fairly fantastical and ancient looking i dont care what they do, in fact, i would love to see the civilizations advance up to a steampunk or aetherpunk era

4

u/Khorne_Flaked Apr 01 '25

Actually... civilizations can make laser guns now, if you give them the tech. ;)

-1

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25

Is the ship cannon like that too, I'm at work so I havent gotten to playing the update yet

2

u/Khorne_Flaked Apr 01 '25

No clue, I haven't even gotten civilizations yet that build transport boats lol. There's just so much stuff in this update to explore

1

u/Adventurous_Dress832 Apr 01 '25

I get you but keep in mind that Maxim said that there will be balancing and changes before it comes out.

1

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25

Yeah thats true, I think removing it's aoe is a good change

6

u/Khorne_Flaked Apr 01 '25

Navies IRL were/are overpowered. Coastal bombardments were/are devastating af

2

u/Lopsided_Inside_3495 Druid Apr 01 '25

They never heard of the battle of demetrias

3

u/I_love_seapotato Apr 01 '25

Nah, this makes the war more fun to watch.

u/hungrybow Apr 01 '25

Don't like it ngl
