I found this unregarded, but nice naval game:
NWS RtW- Rule The Waves - Information And Downloads
It seems to be well thought out.
Perhaps we have found a hidden gem in this?

I downloaded the RTW Manual, but no graphics in it.

About the graphics, you might be disappointed or shocked about this Win 3.11 design, but the graphics do the job very well!

Definitely interesting! Love the whole ship design aspects.
Windows 3.11 brings back fond memories... my most stable computer setup ever... could run for months without needing to reboot. My software product was developed under Windows 3.11 and I ran my corporation with it.
Will this run under Windows 10? What kind of emulator is required etc etc???

No info on compatibility though.

It's a surprisingly fun game. Don't let the rudimentary graphics discourage you.

Note
This is not documented in the manual:
1. To change course it's more convenient to use control + left click.
2. And sometimes double click work to activate some function/screens in the game.
3. You can draw a box on an area to zoom.
4. Hoover the pointer over enemy ships - you'll see information then.
5. Right click on enemy ships open the vessel window.

Same here. It's completely obliterated all the time I used to spend playing CMANO. It's a very "resource-lite" game, I'd imagine it'll run great on anything.

Baloogan does some nice youtube videos on RTW. Some of this stuff helps you learn a bit about the game. In addition he does some really helpful stuff on Command MA/NO

Its a good game.
One of those that I wish had come to Matrix first. To polish it up a little.
It doesn't actually need it. Its fine as it is. But it could look a lot more 'post millennium.'
