I use 12% except when up to date on everything. Then I set everything to low except guns and reduce to 9%-10% until January. Doesn't seem to do any harm; I often get more techs anyway. Harder to tell whether it has gained anything on guns.

Nice to know. Anyone know whether it does anything?

For every research field there is a line between" ResearchPoints" and "CurrentLevel" that reads "TSL= [some number]."

Values vary widely. Anyone know where they come from or what they do?

Thanks. I was trying to do it on the Bases tab.

Can't find a place with an option to do this.

Thanks. Would be nice if that were labeled somewhere, or did I miss it?

You can guarantee it by editing the .BCS file in either of two ways:

-Add the war. Easy to screw this up; if you're going to use this method, first look at an older save file that included a war.
-Easier: Raise that country's tension to 12? >12? (I forget); they will go to war with you the next ...

in 1890 or 1900 starts the penalty applies to < 9". There are 2 techs under Turrets techs that reduce the penalty for < 8", but I don't see any for 8".

... Was there even a historical case for selling completed or semi-completed ships between great powers? I can't think of one case. Plenty of cases to minor/not-represented in the game (Ottoman Empire) powers, but major-to-major sales? The Lend-Lease sale of those old US destroyers to Britain is ...

The developers are right right that in WWs I and II BB engagements were extremely rare. Cruiser and CV engagements were not common either, and even ones with DDs on both sides were far less than 1/month.

They are also right that the game is more enjoyable if more than that are generated.

But in my ...

I tried going back to 1/1908, the first month of that war, with Gueydon's design files corrected.

The same error messages appeared in the very first battle (2/1908, there was none in January), only the ship referred to was Jeanne d'Arc, a CA of a different class.
-Unlike Gueydon, she was not under ...

IT at war with FR.

1. In 7/1908, I got error messages "Error in Damage Control Procedure BB Gueydon" and "Invalid floating point operation" several times each during the first ~3 turns. Gueydon was a FR CA which had been refitted in 1903, 1907, and 1908, and was under refit during 7 and 8/1908. In ...

Since I haven't mastered creating my own graphics, the way I have been ensuring that the overhead graphic is not blank or identical to one of my starting designs has been to find an IDes file with the right turret arrangement and copy and paste it from [Turret0] to the end. This has worked fine ~20 ...
