Rule the Waves 3

I'm going to be honest. As cool as this game seems. I'm going to just voice a pet peeve. Why dose every navel game where you build and research you own fleet have to always start exactly in 1890? I get that's around the time the Dreadnought was built. But why the hell not start in the 1850's with the advent of the iron clad? Or the 1810's with the dawn of steam powered vessels? Those are very important moments in history that I think would be fascinating to include. I mean, isn't the point of a game like to simulate an arms race? Wouldn't it be awesome to be the first with steam engines? Or iron Armour? Guess I'll just keep waiting. =(

I love it

Genuinely a fun game once you figure out how to work the game. The naval designer is possibly the single most in-depth ship designer I've ever seen, to the point where I feel the game manual does not go in depth enough.

Steep learning curve but the possibilities are endless. Cool to be able to design, build, and fight with your own ships.

I’m shocked how much I love this game. As someone who came into it with a vague understanding of naval power and its history, it took some time to understand but once it starts to click, it really takes off. At this point I’m 60 hours in and have never progressed past 1920 because I wanted to learn the game with simpler ships/tech but now feel ready to get into air power. The campaign and ship design are both excellent if you’re into these things. One area of opportunity would be to have more control over subs. I would like to see more focus on merchant warfare and the nominal control we have over subs feels insufficient . With that being said, if you can tolerate the UI, excel format and graphics, pick up the game. It’s a must have for Naval enthusiasts.
