Re: Cannot kill 1xSquid - Constant retreat

Have run into this problem as well. Quite annoying! +1 to some mechanic change to mitigate the ocean creature problem.


A card to pay a MTH (before navy revamp) to keep a seazone completely clear of beasts would also be nice.

Re: An option for no ICBMs

+1. Strategic nukes do trivialize the game on the player end, and turn it into a slog from the AI.

Re: All Forward Turret Configuration Doesn't Work

Since the BB requires either 8 guns (so 2 quads) or 3 turrets, it does mean designs like that are 'legal' but 2 Triples AB must be fast enough to qualify as BC or else is disallowed. A BB with 3 20" guns in single turrets is also legal...

Neat! I wonder if that's the same cause for the very large Destroyer, Artillery, and SAM divisions, etc, that same AI major was building.

Re: Serious bug in blackmail

This implementation does encourage me to make what might be considered an illogical decision (pay blackmail to a major I could easily defeat) in order to raise a desired profile.

Meritocracy hardest profile to raise/maintain

While I didn't conduct a numerical search of in-game events to form this opinion, it seems like +Meritocracy options are the least common ones. Autocratic and democratic options, in contrast, are a rainstorm. Raising either profile to 90 is a lot easier than getting Meritocracy to 70-80.

[1.26f2] Shield meta

Can link or email the save elsewhere if necessary as forum won't let me upload it, but ... AI appears to have strange impression of Mobile Shield usage, spamming them around their territory but with few/no other units for them to protect.

I've been guessing at rough HE pen for a while and this information proved rather useful! But it should really be exposed. Naval planners did often try to design ships around penetration, after all... so I have an improvement in mind that seems quite ...

Re: Land Base Strikes

One thing that afflicts LBA effectiveness is that land bases will only order strikes on ships they (!) and only they have spotted. Floatplane or carrier scout spots enemy? Nope, doesn't count!

Re: "Do you really want to armor the turrets that heavily?"

On the contrary, heavier turret armor appears to reduce the jam chance on hit. The disadvantage is that it's quite massive for how "little" coverage it gives in RTW3, though that's minor because of what you said.

There is a joke that if the game doesn't ask you this question, you've not armored ...
