Safe-Keeper the Corsair

Will wind in 0 A. D. blow in certain directions? If it will, will this affect sail hips? I'd like to see wind direction and strenght increasing or decreasing the speed of ships so that you have to take it into consideration when moving your fleets. And I'd like it if it was dangerous to move boats and ships too far from shore if the wind was too strong, as ships could be more or less randomly damaged or sunk by high waves, etc. I think it'd be nice, too, if ships moving against the wind automatically zig-zagged to not be "taken aback" and rendered immobile.

It's indeed looking good, especially the graphics. I'll definetly get this game, if for no other reason than that it has an editor and some very nice graphics. I especially like what I hear about naval action, with units loaded on ships firing out of them, boarding, ramming, and so on. Keep it up!

How unique is 0 AD going to be, exactly? I've seen several people go "game x had feature y, will 0 AD have it?". So my question is: How unique, exactly, is 0 AD? Will people easily be able to compare it to, say, Age of Empires?
