Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts work in progress.

I'm curious about this one. I have "Rule the Waves" and "Rule the Waves II".  It sounds similar , but with better graphics.  Has anyone played both?  If so, what is your verdict on the two games?

I have both, and love both. Personally, RTW II is superior, as it adds naval aviation.

Leaving aside the aviation aspect, how does the realism compare between the RTW  and Ultimate Admiral? Is the shipbuilding and combat more realistic in one as opposed to the other?

This game looks a lot like that 3D Naval Battle game, was it, "War at Sea"? The one with a Russo-Japanese version and a later WWI version. You know, the one the company walked away from and never would update. We talked about it here recently. I think it was Norm Kroger's baby. That's NOT a bad thing if it is cause I loved that game.

Jutland and Distant Guns.

[Sir Slash]

That's it, Distant Guns is the one I couldn't think of. Anybody else see the resemblance?

[Gusington]

Definitely. This appears a little more user friendly and accessible.

This Imperial Chinese Superdreadnought was one of my more successful designs -- not very fast, but with 11 15-inch guns and plenty of 5-inch secondaries -- how can you go wrong?

[Sir Slash]

Very Nice! I'd take her home to meet Momma.  :bd:

[Gusington]

I saw her first!!

[Sir Slash]

She only likes Nice Guys.  L:-)

Your mom thinks I'm cool.

[Sir Slash]

Huh! That ain't saying much, my Mom thinks I'M cool.  :o

So any more on current gameplay guys, worth investing to get in the beta?

Design your ship or auto build it.

No save blue print function yet. Probably because the game will be updated frequently and would break saves anyway.
