It's OK, a bit slow to be fair, though that does give you a sense of scale. Europe was big in 1914... Build times start at 1 day and go up from there. Though it is a strategy game rather than a tactical one where you have to micromanage.

Quite like the board game risk, with lots of strategy and trade required. You start off reasonably powerful, but I get the impression that if you rush you will end up being mauled by one of the other players, as everyone else is reasonably powerful too!

Been dipping in and out for the last 11 days, current score is 112, win conditions are score >1000.

Edit: Yes it does support clans. If ATOT were to start playing as an alliance they would probably dominate Europe 🙂

Honestly, I've never seen a sailboat do that but if I had to give it a name I'd say nosedive or perhaps pitchpole?

Capsizing is when you get blown over and the boat is essentially upsidedown.
 
We did something similar in a pontoon boat. The front of the boat went underwater and just started digging in rapidly until the front 3rd of the boat was underwater.

I guess that's what happened here, the front dug in and over she goes.

Those race boats have a lot of sail plus it was pretty windy and rough from the looks of it.
