Re: ideas for rtw4 or for mods

So what role do we have in playing Rule the Waves? Are we the grand admiral of the fleet, or perhaps the political leader of the Navy? In either case, we would have no (Admiral) or limited (politician) decision making ability for education, budget or economy. If I were to make suggestions on ...

Possible bug

I was playing a (modded) game, and when I went to war with the UK, the program told me I had to put my entire fleet (minus raiders) as trade protection. It was the first time I had seen it, and was just after upgrading to .37. Anyone else have the same thing happen?

Re: Management speadsheet and other improvements

I started a 1935 game, parameters as per screenshot 2. As per screenshot 1, the initial fleet, building ships screen, there is an AMC building, and right below it is its design study. Don't know how to get a save that I can attach.

Re: Rule the Waves 3 - Ship Design Contest 2

When you say "any period and any configuration", do you mean any start point (1890, 1900 etc.), or a design you made at any time during a game you are playing?

Management speadsheet and other improvements

I think I have mentioned this before, but would it be possible to have a fleet management spreadsheet tab, which would list your classes, how many built, building, scrapped, sold, and refits (with refit year)? It would be easier than having to continually count your ships, especially if you are ...

Carrier size

Would it be possible to put the carrier tonnage you can build to in the appropriate tech box, as you do with the destroyer tonnage?

RTW 3 Initial Build

How come, in the initial build, will the computer generate designs that are not legal? And when you go to rebuild them, the rebuild gets an error. I am specifically talking about BB's being designed with triple turrets in the forward and aft positions, with double turrets in the superfiring position ...

Number of ships indicated by the fleet size box

I was wondering if there was a number value to each of the fleet size choices on the starting screen.
They are:

Small
Medium
Large
Larger
Very Large
Super Large

I tried looking through the manual, but did not see an answer.

Thanks

Re: Rule the Waves 3 - Update 1.00.14

I cannot seem to find the update (1.00.14) on Steam. Game did not automatically update, and could not find it under beta.

Possible upgrade ideas

Two thoughts on RTW3:

1. Divisions - since you seem to be only put one type of shop in a division, could you implement a system of task force, where you can put multiple ship types together? You could include core, screen, and ASW/AAW/Scout rings.

2. Could you include a spreadsheet tab where you ...

Re: Q1 2023?

Sir, since there has not been a single update on the Matrix site for Rule the Waves 3 since it was announced on Aug 24 2022, could we please get a more detailed update?

Thank you.

Re: RTW 3

Another suggestion. If you revise a design on the fleet page, and you are still building that class as new ships, you should be able to build the revision, instead of building the ship and then having to rebuild it right away.

RTW 3

I bought RTW 2 (and 1) shortly after the announcement of RTW 3 was made on the Matrix page. I have mostly played RTW 2 (when I tried to load 1, it didn't work with 2 already loaded). I like the game, and am a bit surprised at the lack of updates and suggestions (at least on these pages) for the new ...
