GAME FEATURES
Ships
There are three types of ships in Voyage Century: the Battle Ship, Raider Ship and Merchant ships. The battle ship is able to hold the most amount of cannons and can take the most amount of damage. The raider is the fastest ship and can hold the most amount of sailors. The merchant ship is the slowest ship of all and does not do well in battle but it has the highest loading capacity. Players are able to own 5 ships. There are 12 levels of ships along with a special, beginner-only ship called the "Dragon Head Gunboat". Each type of ship is leveled up differently. The Battle Ship is leveled by fighting other ships in the battlefields. The raider is leveled up by exploring and spending time at sea and the merchant ship is leveled by trading. 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.
Logistics system
The system is full of players who produce raw materials or craft goods that can be sold for a profit. These professions include: miner, logger, farmer, fisher, blacksmith, tailor, alchemist, and shipbuilder.
Skill/stunt system
Skill levels, or the sum of them, determine a player's level. Each skill is currently capped at 120, and skills, with the exception of Voyage, is capped at level 31 unless promoted into the second phase. Players can promote a maximum of eight skills (9 skills for an extra 5million silver), after that, players must obtain a skill promoting book (either from the item mall or other players) to promote other skills. Stunts are subskills within a skill, once a skill gets to the end of phase two which is level 100 you can then promote the skill into phase 3, and continue leveling that skill up to level 120.
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!
