Voyage Century Online Game Overview
Voyage Century Online is a free nautical MMORPG Massively Multi-player online role-play game published by IGG.
Voyage Century is set in 17th century Earth and features accurate historical representations of several coastal cities. Players are not required to choose a career path at the beginning of the game. This gives players a rather varied gameplay in which they can either specialize in one skill and trade for resources, or make use of all the skills. Combat occurs both on land and on the sea, where players risk the threat of pirates when venturing further from the more populated areas. Unlike many other MMORPGs where players can only succeed through battle, Voyage Century Online gives players the option of embarking on several unique professions.
Voyage Century Online Ships
There are three types of ships in Voyage Century
- Battle Ship - The battle ship is able to hold the most amount of cannons and can take the most amount of damage. The Battle Ship is leveled by fighting other ships in the battlefields.
- Raider - The raider is the fastest ship and can hold the most amount of sailors. The raider is leveled up by exploring and spending time at sea
- Merchant - The merchant ship is the slowest ship of all and does not do well in battle but it has the highest loading capacity. The merchant ship is leveled by trading.
Players are able to own any number of ships. There are 10 levels of ships along with a special, beginner-only ship called the "Dragon Head Gunboat". Each type of ship is leveled up differently. Once a ship has met the requirements, players must gather or buy the necessary materials needed to upgrade the ship. The Dragon Head Gunboat is a newly introduced ship which is given to new players. It is roughly equivalent to a level 5 battle ship and can go very fast but has a somewhat limited loading capacity. Also, you can encounter steering problems with the gunboat.
Voyage Century Battle system
While any player can wield a weapon, the battle system creates characters that excel in combat. This system includes combatants on both land and sea, and also consists of pirates. The pirates are not a big threat, unless you are totally ambushed. There is always flotsam and jetsam on the water for you to pick up. Also, as you are on the high seas, there is chance of imperial ship attacks. "Imperial" in this case means attacked by country's ships. Depends on amity, you should stay clear of ships unless you want to kill them. Notice also that the high seas is a PvP area, so you can get blasted to kingdom come by Royal Highnesses, and the super gangsters. So, stock up with the newest stuff you can get!
There are 4 ways to fight a sea battle and described below.
- Cannon fight - In arming your ship, there are several types of cannon to choose from, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The normal cannon gives a balanced range of attributes, whereas others are more specialized - The howitzer cannon has the greatest firing range but smallest firing angle, the buckshot has the widest firing angle but low range, and the quick-firer has the highest firing speed but lowest firepower. The higher the cannon fight level, the higher level cannons one can equip. Cannonballs differ too.
- Grappling battle - Grappling in battle means boarding an opponent's ship. The screen will be switched to a scene of a grappling battle where players can win by eliminating enemy sailors,the captain, damage their mast or they can cut themselves loose. Land fighting performance and sailor amount is vital to winning. If a player fails to grapple the enemy�s ship, there is a 20 second delay before another attempt at grappling is allowed. Putting points in the stunt grapple will improve accuracy and will allow you to equip better grappling guns. Grappling is great for raiders because of their high sailor capacities. However, only the captain and few of his men can board. That means everybody will not board. So, you have to be of a very high attack level to actually survive boarding a ship.
- Ramming - The simple process of ramming another ship to do damage. A ram must first be bought from the shipyard boss and equipped. Larger ships and faster sailing speed will increase ramming damage. Ramming does damage to the hull only, and it is very useful when taking out a lower level ship in one blow.
- Mines - Mines have the potential to do high amounts of damage to massed enemies, but can also do damage to friendly ships. There are many different kinds of mine, each with different attributes. There is a 20 second delay after the placement of a mine before it detonates.
Land Battle
There are four different types of weapons you can use for land battles:swords, axes, falchions and guns. Each has its own special abilities and advantages, one is often suited for one type of battle more than another.
- Sword - The Sword has the lowest attack but yet it hits the hardest, and is the most accurate. Sword is best for 1 vs 1 PvP. It might be for captain duels, but you'll get mugged by the others
- Falchion - The Falchion has average attack but has low accuracy, with 20% more defense. Falchion is best for killing mobs and boss's because you can hit all targets around you with the soul of saber skill. Otherwise, you can go "hyper" and destroy all enemies.
- Axe - The Axe has high attack but is quite slow, with -20% defense. Axe is best known for its special skill Rage Of god which does a hit on the enemy with 40% more damage, which is a lot of damage if you have high attack. However, it has some setbacks. The axe usually hits stationary objects, objects walking away from you, and objects walking sideways.
- Gun - The Gun has extremely high attack but low accuracy, with -70% defence. The gun is best for the runners and is best to use it when you are in a team of people where you know you are protected, because you will die easy when you have gun out because of the -70% defence. You might want to shoot someone and then turn and run for your life. Sometimes, if you have higher gun level, you can actually rapid fire, which makes up for the reloading.
Skills chosen for each weapon also effects the style it performs best in. Weapon skill has four subskills for each weapon type and three for barehand. Bare hand experience is gained by fighting normally, preferably with or without a weapon. Barehand level affects a character's hitpoints, dodge, accuracy and running speed. Experience is gained by causing damage to enemies and a bonus is given for finally killing the enemy.
Siege
If you want to get cool things, you'll need to lay siege. You can team up with other ships. In the day, you have an easy chance of getting knocked silly by fortifications. In nighttime, the forts will make a "Zzzz...zzzz....zzzz..." Only one fort will say it. Shoot the sleeping fort. You will have a better chance to succeed.
