You will not understand what to do. The game will just wait until you take the first step. No tutorial. No training mission. There is only a manual. But he does not try to explain step by step what to do. It seems that it is terrible. I want to get angry and write a rough overview. Write about what this is a bad game, and then compare it to Total War. For most, everything will be just like that!Therefore, I immediately warn that if you need a modern dynamic arcade strategy about ships, then immediately look for other options. This game will not work for you. And if you are looking for the most realistic simulator of sea battles, then this is an excellent choice. If in reality the gun charges a long five minutes, then in the game it will be so. If the radius of the turn of the steel cruiser is 500 yards, then be patient and wait. Similarly, with the time set speed. The steamer is not a torpedo boat and can not accelerate to 40 knots in a couple of minutes. Each speed dial node in the game must wait. And the speed drops when cornering, so every turn needs to be considered. In general, most of the time the player watches and waits. If you need such a game, you can not find anything better. It's almost a textbook.Oh, I forgot that not every projectile hits the target. Accuracy of shooting 10% is a lot. And for each hit shell will drown the enemy. Sometimes large ships with good armor have to be shot for more than an hour. At the same time, you can speed up the game time only twice.All that I have described for most people will be shortcomings. For most, but not for me.. If you like naval combat, especially naval combat in the Victorian Era, and obscure now-forgotten wars, this game is for you.. I've only had this game for a few days, but I just love this! The graphics are stunning, and very smooth. The devs have done an amazing job. Its a sad thing for this wonderful time period to be ignored by many for too long, but no more. Great work, and thanks!. I want to say that one little change could change a lot in gameplay, supply did it. If you playing Caroline Island, first thing you do - you gather all fleet at one point and try to destroy the enemy, I did the same here playing USA and see that I am going to loose support points on next turn, it's okay if I succeed but if I loose some ships it'll be the problem ... this changes how you planing your opretaions .... finally with small fleet and very expensive big ship you thinking how much you can affort attack or blockade, this is much interesting than just simple struggle.Also modern ships fights much more intense, even you have only 2 cruisers (not even battleships) but one of them can destroy 2-4 gunboats or frigates, take a lot of damage and with fire and water in hull safely flee the fight.You should try it! Of course only if you already been playing Ironclads or ready to read manual to understand simple but unique naval strategy rules.. I like the history period of this game, now naval battles are very intense, and you can feel the difference between old ships like frigates (even with modern artillery) and modern cruisers, the real terror of seas.Other reviwers told a lot about supply system developers added to game, it works cool, I like that too. This game worth to play if you like other games in this series. Clad in Iron: Sakhalin 1904 Now Available on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/963680/.

Clad in Iron: Carolines 1885 Dev Diary #3 - Ejército de Filipinas 1885: So, we read a little (actually a lot) of books about the Spanish Philippines and the colonial armed forces. We collected such interesting data on the number and composition of the Spanish colonial army: in 1884, the Ejército de Filipinas consisted of 576 Spanish officers and 31 Native officers, as well as from 1960 Spanish soldiers (1302 artillery men) and 9631 Native soldiers. It turns out that the Philippians themselves had to maintain the power of the Spanish crown over the vast archipelago.The Filipino native soldiers looked something like this:Facebook page linkhttps://www.facebook.com/totemgamesfcbk/posts/2032707406848873Steam forum thread linkhttps://steamcommunity.com/app/712970/discussions/0/1769259642863742116/. Clad in Iron: Carolines 1885 Dev Diary #1 - Spanish warships: The construction of a large series of steam frigates and broadside ironclads in the 1860s put Spain among the foremost naval powers, but in subsequent years economic problems and political instability led to a complete loss of occupied positions. After a decade, the Spanish fleet is very outdated and could no longer protect the national interests of the sea. The situation prevailing in Spain by the early 1880s was very difficult. The country has just ended devastating civil wars and revolutions. Therefore, in 1880, the Spanish government took the first steps to restore the former sea power. The problem was that there was very little money in the treasury, and the Spanish shipbuilding industry was very outdated. For this reason, by 1883 a series of small 250t colonial gunboats was built in Spain (1st right). These first iron ships for the renewed fleet were not very successful. After the construction of a series of larger 550t iron gunboats in 1885 (2nd right), it became clear that the Spaniards were not able to design modern warships. Therefore, in the UK were bought small 1000t iron cruisers (3rd right). When Germany attempted to annex the Caroline Islands in 1885, Spain could send only 4600t wooden frigates (4th right) and 5700t wooden ironclads (5th right) to Oceania as capital ships.link to the image of the Spanish shipshttps://ibb.co/NVfd6FnFacebook page linkhttps://www.facebook.com/totemgamesfcbk/posts/2011448442308103Steam forum thread linkhttps://steamcommunity.com/app/712970/discussions/0/1836811737992781454/. Clad in Iron: Carolines 1885 Dev Diary #2 - White, grey, black: We are very strange guys and we are interested in strange questions. For example, we want to know in what color scheme the Spanish and German warships were painted in Oceania in 1885 during the Carline Islands crisis. There are three possible answers to this question. Usually for service in hot climates, the ships of the great powers were painted in a white and yellow version, when the ship's hull was white, and all other parts were yellow-orange. The second option could be the so-called combat paint, when the hull or the whole ship was painted in gray or gray-blue color. This method has been known since the time of the American Civil War. In 1885, France was at war with China and part of the French ships were painted gray-blue. The third color of the ship was the usual black and yellow Victorian type with a black hull and yellow masts and superstructures. We know for sure that the Spanish squadron assembled in Europe for the campaign on the Pacific Ocean was painted in the Victorian scheme. This was described in Spanish newspapers in 1885, but we did not find such information about the German ships. But in the photographs of 1889 from Samoa, where only the hurricane prevented the battle of the German and American colonial squadrons, we see that the German ships have black hulls and yellow-orange masts and superstructures.Facebook page linkhttps://www.facebook.com/totemgamesfcbk/posts/2023808651072082Steam forum thread linkhttps://steamcommunity.com/app/712970/discussions/0/1848072002752839707/
