They do also have Ultimate Admiral Age of Sail which is set during the AWI and encompasses both land and sea actions. This is more of a fleet battle and management game but does take things like the ships from NA. It is in Early access but playable. Also there is a land based game about the AWI coming along the lines of Ultimate General Civil War.
Ultimate Admiral Age of Sail definitely has some appeal, but I'm not going to invest in early access with Gamelabs. They have established a reputation for not listening to their players and digging in their developer heels much to the chagrin of paying customers (even if it's early access). With so many other hobbies in the queue I can wait.
