NWS Rule the Waves

Is that an enforced restriction (by code or whatever) or an on your honor?  I'm asking because we are planning to reformat his computer soon, so do we need to do an uninstall to release the serial number?  I haven't dealt with this kind of system, but I've heard of them.

Thanks again.

The number of installs is what you agree to. You can install on 2 pc's at one time. For example your laptop and desktop, as long as you do not have more than 2 installs at the same time. You can reinstall as many times as you wish.

The only DRM is a serial. This is a great product and the developer (Yes 1 guy I believe) deserves the cash.

RTW looks very simplistic. Do not be fooled. There is a lot of depth and replay value.

Thanks for the clarification, he was excitedly waiting for his serial number last night, but it didn't show up until 2 am, so he'd better have been in bed.

He may need some help from Dad to build the RedArgo Class Battleships.

Not to mention the Crimson Permanent Assurance class battle cruisers!

The SMS RedArgo was briefly the most powerful battleship in the North Atlantic last night.  Sadly, it never saw action as the Germans only fought the Russians and it was a cruiser war.  Apparently, the game picks which ships sortie and the the grand ole RedArgo never got the call.  My son spent all evening playing and said he really enjoyed it, although he said he had only watched a play through on youtube and didn't really know what he was doing yet.

No doubt the Russkies are dumb struck with fear over her. I tried to name a class of battleship after me but the game told me I couldn't because I didn't have anything bigger than 4 inches. I don't know if I like it's attitude.

RULE THE WAVES v1.22 BETA POSTED:

A v1.22 Beta update has been posted to the "Information and Downloads" thread of this forum. Note that this is a beta, not a final release version.

This patch will update any previous version of the game to the v1.22 beta version.

Download (4MB): http://www.navalwarfare.net/files/SAI/RTW_122Beta_Update.exe

Changes:
* Blocked some damage reports about AI ships that were told the player.
* Capped yearly budget at 2 100 000 000 to avoid errors with very large budgets.
* Ships under accelerated construction now have a much reduced risk of building delays. This risk is related to the proportion of ships that are accelerated. The intention of this change is to increase the attractiveness of accelerating construction.
* Long term raider survival reduced.
* Tweaked down raider and submarine morale effects slightly.
* AI controlled nations suffering heavy merchant losses from submarines will react by strengthening their ASW forces.
* Revolution in one enemy nation will now not automatically cause all enemies to sue for peace.
* B now contributes successively less to battleship tonnage after 19! 09.
* Added info about number of coastal batteries to possession screen.
* Added link to forum in credits screen.
* AI nations will now expand bases.
* Added option to auto resolve raider battles (selected for each battle).
* Activated ship picture functionaity.
* Made AI nations better at scrapping old predreanoughts.
* Improved turret gun/calibre rebuild procedure.
* Adjusted some calculations to make ships like the G3 battlecruisers possible.


Bug fixes:
* Fixed a bug where you could say yes to seizing a ship during wartime but nothing happened.
* Fixed a bug that could arise when you acquired a foreign ship with the same design name as a ship you alredy had.
* Fixed a data error that could cause AI designed ships to have the wrong design speed. (This had no effect on gameplay but could seem confusing when rebuilding AI built ships).
* Fixed a rare bug where an ally could both gain and lose a possession in a peace agreement.
* Fixed a bug with bulged not being saved.

V 1.23 is coming soon.

It will include a side view generator, where you can easily create side views for your ships. This is using the ship components made by Gary Childress, which he has kindly let me use in the game.

Are any of the RoW fixes/additions that are focused on battles and campaigns going to put into the original SaI and its campaigns?

Hi RyanE

It was said that additions/fixes etc would be made to S&I once RTW was completed.

[panzerde]

Thanks Asid! Downloading now. Really like the side views!

[RyanE]

I guess my real question is...when is it being completed then?
