NWS Rule the Waves

Hahaha! I find that I must have more ganes and suck at more ganes as I get older.

So RTW is not overly complex? It looks like it is. Just the impression I get from what I've seen posted...

So tempted....just not sure if I am smart enough to wrap my head around it. Ship design sounds cool, but I know nothing about building ships. Are some kind of aids included for someone who has no clue?

On the average, how long does it take to get the serial number?

As I have stalked the game forum and from my experience with Steam and Iron, it is a manual process so very variable dependent on the person being available. Seen people get it near instant, while others take up to a day (which is their stated SLA, get within one business day). When I bought Steam and Iron, I received it within the hour if I remember correctly. Their email tends to sometimes end up in spam/junk mail, so make sure to check there as well.

I got my Registration number via E-mail in about 2 hours. When you buy you get an order number but cannot download the game until the Registration number arrives and then when you hit the Download button, you have to type your name, the Registration number and it asks for your "Company". I don't know what that even is and never fill it in. The download is only about 19 MB. Save your Registration number somewhere because you'll need it whenever you download any patches of which v1.1 is due anytime now. Anytime you start a game, you'll get a beginning fleet ready at the start and only have to build one if you want to. The Ship Design is not hard but the window throws a lot of info at you. Just play with it awhile. You can save multiple designs and don't have to buy any of them for your fleet if you don't want to.

I didn't see this posted anywhere in this thread yet but has anyone been following the "Perseverance and Determination" AAR they have running over at NWS forums? I think that guy just sold me on this game.

he is part of the reason I am considering as well...

Wow. That AAR is pretty clear and convincing evidence of how totally incompetent I will be at this game.

Double Deuce · July 23, 2015, 01:32:52 PM

I took the plunge, just waiting on my code.

bobarossa · July 23, 2015, 02:10:53 PM

I waited for the code before installing my copy but it was already filled in when I started the install. If you already have the download, try installing it.

RyanE · July 23, 2015, 04:22:43 PM

That happened to me with the Russo-Japanese War game as well.

I got mine within an hour of payment.

Double Deuce · July 23, 2015, 08:05:33 PM

Yeah, I went and checked email at lunch and it was there, 2, maybe 3 hours tops. O0

The guy in the AAR is doing better than I am-- Japan vs Russia. I finally managed to corner their battlefleet just where I wanted them, just in time to watch them disappear as the sun set.

This is a really good find. A very good AAR too, I'm enjoying reading it. Thanks DD. O0
