I've enjoyed watching RtW in the past so I picked this up. Ten years after my first light carrier conversion, still no dive/torpedo bombers. I've got two full fleet carriers, every other nation has bombers, my research is maxed and focused towards carriers, and I've got nothing. A little too much RNG for me.

If you're not squeamish about what may be considered cheating, the save file is fully editable with any text editor. In the RTW2 folder go to saves then the Game# folder. In there look for the RTWGame#.bcs file and open it on notepad. Your nation's data will always be there first but all opposing countries are there too in full.

When you see a lot of Research#Level# that's the tech section. Change the zero at the end of the string to a one to set the tech as researched. I'm not sure what the numbers are for the techs you want but you can tell which techs were missed because it will be a zero followed by the next few levels being researched.

I had to learn this the hard way when one of my RTW1 games went to 1925 without superimposed B turrets.

The RNG can really deal you a bad hand like that sometimes. Especially bad when other nations already have the tech because there’s supposed to be a tech diffusion effect that makes a tech easier to research depending on how many other nations have it.

I always found that to be part of the charm. Like yes, I can't figure out how to get centerline turrets despite the fact that all my enemies have them... so I have my stupid Italian 4x2 13" staggered wing crossdeck firing BBs as the French murder me with their stupid efficient designs with decent firing arcs.

For the carriers I think it's even funnier. Decking over a ship is easy and your nation of idiots has cargo-culted that part, but they can't figure out airplanes. Well, time to quadruple-down on the big gun battleship, or add in some large cruisers a la the Alaskas or Design 1047s with an absurd AAA suite so that you can chase down enemy carriers.

The fickle RNG requires some weird design decisions. If it were easy to optimize, the game would be less fun. Also: Always Play with Varied Techs.

When a video is uploaded to YouTube the higher resolutions take longer to be available. Come back later and it should be ready

Edit: I just checked and the high resolution versions are ready, just manually set them in the player

Accidental destroyer of planets




Welcome to Mother Russia! We'll let the Generals worry about all that land, We're here for the seas! As you can see, we have the Baltic and the Asian front to worry about, so we could end up at war with anyone in the world!
It's fine, its not like they can invade us. Or at least they would be stupid to do so!



Currently, our fleet is stationed in the Baltic, and is not the largest. Five battleships, two armoured and light cruisers and eleven destroyers.



Although it should be said, we are not to far off the rest of the world at this stage., and our budget is comparable to everyone except Great Britain.

Lets take a look at our ships shall we?



The Pervenets is our flagship, 15,000 tons and armed with 4x12” guns, 16x6” and 10” armour.



The other four ships are of the Imperator Petr Veliki class, which has fewer 6” guns, and these are not in turrets. They are 12,800 tons.



Our Pamyat Azova class Heavy crusiers are almost the same size, but trade firepower and armour for speed.



The Diana Class Light cruisers are slower! They are designed for long range operations, but with no armour and pop guns, I fail to see how these ships will survive a major battle.



The Bunyi class destroyers have six light guns and two torpedo tubes. And are the fast ships in our fleet at 28knts. They make up nine of our eleven destroyers.



The last two are the smaller Bravi class, short ranged with cramped quarters.



Our drydocks contain three ships, two more battleships and another Pamyat Azova armoured crusier.


The Retvizan is 13,800 tons, carries the standard 12” guns and 10” armour – but it also has two “AA” guns. When I enquired what they are for, I was told they were to shoot at things in the air – I can only assume the designers were duped into buying them and had to use them somewhere!
Things in the air! Huh! Such flights of fancy.



The Dvenadtsat Apostolov looks like it was trying to use as many letters as possible. She's a thousand tons heavier, and has turreted her secondary guns. She two carries two of the new wonder weapons.

Overall, we have some solid ships, with the exception of our slow as hell light cruisers.



Budget wise, we have been left 1.2 million roubles, and we are running a slight deficit of 36 thousand roubles a month.
Our docks can build ships up to 15,000 tons, and expanding them would cost 1.6 million.



Our research budget is 8%, and can go up to 12%, prioitys are medium, but this will be for BUORD to set once he has been elected.



While we have 12” guns, nothing beyond 6” is considered all that reliable.



World tensions are thankfully low – we need some time to think.

State of the Union Question

There will be no bills for this session, this is more to set the state of things. Please vote on the following questions. Feel free to have a discussion before voting.

Google form for speed of counting.
Please do not cheat, main bills may be done through the forums.

Should we halt construction of any ships?
Should we build any more ships? If yes wins, I will open the floor to what and start the process.
What should our research budget be?
Who should be BUORD?
Intel levels

I'll do a diplomatic vote next, to set how you want me to react to votes. As we will need a bit of time to sort out the results of this vote!

Get to it!

Here is the save file for anyone who wants to get more details.
