The Trinidad had a crew of novices and was not fully armed. Despite this, she fought with honour at Trafalgar. A British boarding party who tried to board her, believing her to be surrendered, were courteously escorted back to their boats. The firing was halted until these British men returned to their ships. It was a different kind of war and a different kind of man.

@@matthaeusdecuiavia8637 FIGHTING SAIL by A.B.C.WHIPPLE "Another surrender ceremony turned out to be premature. The giant Santísima Trinidad, with her 130-gun decks, was a formidable fighter, but an easy target, and half a dozen British ships were launched on her. When her ensign flew and her guns fell silent, Captain Henry Digby of the Africa sent an officer to accept her surrender. The British officer discovered that Vice-Admiral Don Hidalgo de Cisneros had been wounded, along with his two senior officers. But another polite Spanish officer informed the British emissary that the Santísima Trinidad had not yet given up the fight. The British officer was politely escorted back to his boat, and the Santísima's gunners held their fire until he was safely aboard the Africa. He then resumed firing."

@@roblewis9235 dude, just use it as first ship of the line, the one that will soak out most of the damage, not reasonable to have the most expensive ship in the game, paying upkeep and not using them! Old captured galeons (because Britain can't build) are always able to be placed on trade nodes.

[@HMFCalltheway]

Think naval battles are far harder to judge with 1v1s as who wins can depend a lot on tactics. Think the Trinidad could have won, if early on the player used the wind to cut-off the Ironclad and quickly board. Assume the Trinidad would win in a boarding with its bigger crew.

[@TotalWar1vs1]

Yeah, so I made this battle mainly for fun and entertain. Why don't we want to see 2 most powerful ships in the game fighting each other? 😈

Realistically the ironclad would win by the sheer armour it has. Armour plating was incredibly effective against the cannons at the time.

I would have boarded the ironclad and won that way. Cannon for cannon, the Santisima would lose most of the time IMHO.

Yes it is an "IRONCLAD" and Victoria was born in 1819 Napoleon had long lost the war and was on Saint Helena by then so no it's not a Victorian era ship yes it's a wooden ship but some of the decks actually was clad in iorn on the inside of the ship. The iornclads your thinking off like the USS monitor and HMS Warrior well there inventors where probably not even born yet

[@alganhar1]

@@ronanwaring3408 No, it was not an Ironclad. They came later. The first true British Iron Clad was HMS Warrior, commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1860. France commissioned the Gloire in 1859. The ships in Total War: Empire are wooden hulled, not iron hulled. Early experiments in cladding ships in iron were abandoned for multiple reasons, including but not unlimited to: Difficulty in the early 19th Century in producing the size and thicknesses of iron plate required. The iron tended to shatter when hit by cannon ball as the metallurgy was not up to the task they required. Due to various reactions with sea water the iron corroded VERY quickly, and so on. They did not get those issues sorted out until the late 1850's. The term Ironclad is reserved not for ships with some iron deck armour, but ships whose entire hulls were covered in iron armour. Earlier ships were generally simply referred to as Steam Frigates as most of them had a single main gun deck.

this went very badly for the santisima trinidad when you made this horrible maneuver at 2:22, you turned to the direction where the wind would blow against you and gave the ironclad a chance to position itself to stern rake you, had you kept sailing in the same direction you would've been able to stern rake the ironclad and then turn right so that you'd be sailing upwind and be able to keep up with ironclad and fire more salvos at it.

Sir, you are wrong! British fleet had the most powerful ships from Mary Rose (90 guns) to Victory (106 guns), Warrior (maximum guns among Shogun 2 ships), Dreadnought (and his concept of "only big guns"), Nelson had 9x406mm guns, and King George 5 had 10x356mm...

"Would you make a ship sail against the wind and currents by lighting a bonfire under her deck? I pray you, excuse me, I have not the time to listen to such nonsense." - Napoleon Bonaparte, after hearing of Robert Fulton's steamship. While largescale adoption of steam warships weren't widespread, there was absolutely experimental models and even some commercial adoption of steamships in the late Napoleonic era. Heck, Fulton himself even designed and produced an actual submarine for the French republic in 1800, and even developed early torpedoes. Were things adopted this early? Absolutely not: it was far too expensive and inefficient to do versus using conventional sail and rig ships. But there were absolutely exceptions to this general rule of thumb; it was a really exciting era for early modern technology. Generally I'd suggest looking up the works of Robert Fulton, the dude was super revolutionary in terms of the technology he was developing. Super interesting stuff :)

@@MustardOligarch Ironclads were first commissioned in the 1850s, they were not steam powered ships of the line --- the first ironclads were metal boxes with a lot of cannons and underpowered engines, they had to be towed to their engagements. Technology was advancing quickly at the time, there were a lot of procedural improvements in steam engines, materials, and mechanisms. I don't think the naval industry at the time was capable of jumping 40 years into the future, the results would have just been underwhelming.
