Fleet Morale
Congratulations, Andrew: Salvo! promises to be a very good game. Hopefully you will be able to improve the camera and above all avoid the corruption of saved files (this happened 2 out of 5 times I've played the Bourbon Navy with Mac G5, OS 10.3.9). Besides this, I think it would be great also to introduce fleet morale, as it is utterly unrealistic that a defeated or much weakened AI fleet continue fighting until losing all its ships, instead of trying to disengage and save as many of them as possible. Just think of Trafalgar, where 15 out of 33 Allied ships made good their escape. Villeneuve at Aboukir did something similar; and Cordoba at Cape St. Vincent and Calder at Finisterre also chose to retreat instead of renewing the fighting –it's evident all three failed their morale check!
