THE ROYAL NAVY NAVAL ARTICLES VERSION IV This guide consists of multiple parts. Part I: Articles of War (Rules) Part II: War Terms Part III: Rank Guide Part IV: Training Procedures Part V: Naval Terms Part VI: Naval Menu Part VII: Flares ■▬▬▬▬▬▬PART I; ARTICLES OF WAR▬▬▬▬▬▬■ I: Any servicemen who impersonate those of a superior rank, position or title via. claiming to hold a position, holding a title or wearing a uniform, etc., shall be punished depending on the severity of the action. II: Internal combat between naval servicemen is forbidden [with the exception of during official trainings]. Servicemen who dare to kill, harm, or even threaten one's ally shall be executed and interrogated on the spot. III: Any cowardice, surrender or anything of somewhat relation is prohibited. Surrender of any kind shall be punishable with loss of rank or even exile without a valid reason. IV: Retirement or desertion of the navy is permitted so long the reason isn't an inexcusable one. If one shall desert or retire due to no gain in rank, promotion, etc., they shall not be permitted to return to the navy on any condition. Alternate accounts included. V: Racism, discrimination and segregation is not permitted at all. Any such events shall result in an immediate exile of participating men without word. VI: All superiors over the rank of Midshipman are to be referred to by 'Sir', 'Ma'am', their rank, position, or title. Addressing to a superior by simply their name shall be punished depending on the said superior's decision. VII: Eavesdropping, spying, etc., is forbidden. Doing so will result in a demotion to Landsman and a sentence to prison. If one is spying for another group in which the Royal Navy is hostile with, they will be reported to the hostile group. If one was ordered to, the hostile clan would best prepare for annihilation in a naval battle. IX: If an official enemy [of a hostile group] surrenders, they are to be arrested and tried for treason and hostility against the navy in an official trial with a commissioned officer. X: Any other incidents, problems, etc., shall be dealt with on the spot accordingly. ■▬▬▬▬▬▬๑PART II; WAR TERMS๑▬▬▬▬▬▬■ War Terms follow a very simple protocol: -We do not fight British clans -We only fight clans based within the Colonial era (Late 1600's through early 1800's) -We do not claim autowin or autolose as our ships automatically update an in-game leaderboard to count the number of ships sunk. -Official raids at RN bases are won with 25 ships sunk of the enemy team. ■▬▬▬▬▬▬๑PART III; RANK GUIDE๑▬▬▬▬▬▬■ LANDSMAN TO SEAMAN, ORDINARY RATE -Wear one of the Seaman uniforms and wait for a promotion.

This menu is accessed by pressing M. Upon pressing M, you'll have to position your camera so it's directed towards the front of your character as there is a glitch in the system. You will see four (Five for Commanders+) circles in front of your character. The circles are as follows: Head: Character Helm: Ship Location Icon: Map Message Icon: Messages Sword: Raids (Commanders+ can see it) The Character Menu has three subdivisions: Items, Ships, and Equipment. Items have tools that are used for utility or are just there. Ships are self-explanatory. Equipment has armament. The Ship menu will eventually have a purpose, but for now, it does nothing. The Map has small dots on it, showing port locations and what team spawns there. A larger map has draggable boxes and can be viewed from the front to the back by clicking a button. Messages have two buttons which bring up boxes on your screen Gui, one is the receiver's name and the other is the message itself. Pressing the raid button toggles raids, don't press it more than once. ■▬▬▬▬▬▬๑PART VII; FLARES๑▬▬▬▬▬▬■ Each ship has a flare gun on board, located near the helm. Each color has a different meaning. The colors are as follows: Red Yellow Green Blue White And these are their meanings: Red: Engage all enemies Yellow: Blockade nearest port Green: Return to previous formation Blue: Break formation and patrol nearby waters White: Break formation and return to port Flares are to be used for simple commands, not extremely complex ones such as "Engage the Privateer Gunboat on your starboard, then crash into the cliffs within ten seconds of the Gunboat sinking." or something like that.
