Playlist of the let's play:    • Let's play Rule The Waves 3 - German ...  

Hello everyone. While I understand that introduction episodes are best combined with the actual gameplay, in the case of Rule The Waves 3 I decided to make a little exception. The game is so specific, so different that many of the online discussions I have seen area about how to play the game, its mechanics and options, rather than what the game is about. So I decided to record and entire episode explaining what the settings is, what the game is like and how we will approach it.
I really hope this will help those unfamiliar with the game to understand a bit better what we are doing and how and thus allow them to join in for the ride. I had to find a balance between explaining everything and keeping it at reasonable length (this is not meant to be a tutorial for new players), but please feel free to ask any questions you might have, this is the place for you, an episode before the true first episode, which is coming next.

From The Rule the Waves 3 Steam page: „Build Your Navy, from pre-Dreadnoughts to Aircraft Carriers and Missile Cruisers!

Rule the Waves III is a simulation of naval ship design and construction, fleet management and naval warfare from 1890 to 1970.

It will place you in the role of 'Grand Admiral' of a navy from the time when steam and iron dominated warship design up to the missile age.

Rule the Waves III will let you design and build the ships of your navy, and lead them into battle when war erupts. You will guide your navy's deployment, construction and operations during a period of great technological innovation and political tensions. While the game derives much of its technology and events from 'actual' history, you will find that you forge your own new history each and every time you play!”
