How fast you move on water in War Sails depends on many factors, ranging from ship design to shifting winds. A party’s base speed comes from the ships it commands, their hull types, and any upgrades they have.
Shallow-draft vessels, like the Nordic longships, sail quickly along coasts and rivers but slow down in open seas. Open waters provide a speed bonus, but going over cargo or crew limits or sailing understaffed all slows you down.
Movement speed over water also depends on typical wind direction and local currents, which are represented visually by the direction of the waves and an arrow indicator. Ships going against the wind on the campaign map will automatically be shown with lowered sails.
