It's basically a mash up of their two previous games, Ultimate General: Civil War and Naval Action.

It does actually make sense. A huge part of Age of Sail naval combat was actually shore operations. I bought the dreadnought game though and I don't feel the need to get both at full price.

I'm still looking forward to Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnought but I'm a little worried that based on a quick scan of the official forums it's mostly people loudly pushing for forcing designs to follow history instead of what it should be, which is letting me design the kind of poo poo Jackie Fisher would come up with after a bad acid trip. Let me make crazy designs dammit

Yeah I don't want restrictions in the builder. If they model the game well though I'm happy to be punished by the simulation. Yes, the builder let me put 8 triple barrel turrets on all ahead of the superstructure, and only the first 6 are flooded at speeds above 3 knots! Ultimate Kerbal: Dreadnaught

I just want Rule the Waves with 3d graphics and maybe a better campaign system (more countries, AI vs AI wars, etc). And yes, I do think a campaign mode should have historical restrictions based on research and stuff similar to Rule the Waves . However the game should also have a "build crazy poo poo" game mode. BTW did NWS ever make RTW2 worth a drat?

Splode posted:Ultimate Kerbal: Dreadnaught This. This is the perfect description I've been looking for to post on their forums. This is the game I want. They should make it possible to set exactly where in the hull the main belt starts and ends, and where the magazines are and the machinery spaces. They should make the aft superstructure able to clip into the front structure so we get a seamless whole. That's it. Do that and the design game is complete, only campaign left and then the game is exceptional. Btw, RTW2 will get missiles in the next update. poo poo's about to get much messier.

sum posted:Any advice for nice low-complexity scenarios for idiots who just downloaded the game? Try Fulda 55 Tunisia 42-43 is maybe okay because it has a very low unit count, then the units trickle-in one by one over the course of the rest of the game, but that comes with its own quirks because it's difficult to form a front line.

The US civil war scenario for TOAW is wack and makes some arbitrary design calls. It’s also probably over fifteen years old at this point. I’d make my own but

As you put funnel on your ship look at the engine efficiency (or funnel efficiency? ) stat on the right. It mainly effects acceleration I think.

I desperately want to buy Ultimate Admiral: Age of sail but am going to try to force myself to hold off. I’m so sick of early access games and might burn myself out before the full thing gets released like I did with civil war.

When I was doing my LP, I was also working on a standalone tool that one could use to prototype parts and ship design, so I'm glad that functionality is now in the base game.

The simulation of land combat in WITP is generally regarded as pretty terrible. Are there any games which simulate WW2 land combat particularly well? Particularly interested in operational- or strategic-level games which do a good job of simulating human factors like leadership, initiative, morale, etc. rather than just counting rifles.

TOAW4 even already has a Modern American Civil War scenario. I remember Harpoon used to have an ACW2 scenario that leveraged the fact that the North Atlantic map covered the Eastern seaboard, so you'd have a "Union" CVBG based out of Norfolk Virginia and land-based air out of Patuxent River etc., and a "Confederate" CVBG based out of King's Bay and land-based air out of Corpus Christi and so on. Maybe there's something like that in CMANO?
