Going Dutch - Episode 1 - Netherlands Great Game Campaign

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Best make me proud Munro!

[@BrotherMunro]

Yes sir 🫡

[@kristoffermangila]

He'd better be!

[@rainafrfr]

The start of a new campaign is always the best part in my opinion

[@circle2121]

This is fact checked by true Dutch East India Company patriots! (Truth)

[@richgweil]

I loved the bridge that looked like an ice-fishing shack. :)

[@R3LOADdoesthings]

13:22 I love how the most armored tops of our first Dutch ship is the 2in guns, with their accidental 2 inches instead of .2 inches.

[@hannibal1980]

at least it has conning tower armour

[@brave_slayer9673]

Btw fun fact: The game devs almost pinpointed the city of Provideniya in the very far east of Russia, but they misplaced Kronstadt on Saint-Petersburg

[@999wilf999]

Well, I just a message from KZbin telling me that I have been gifted a channel membership. Unfortunately, it didn't tell me who sent the gift! So, whoever you are, thank you very much, it's greatly appreciated!

[@level98bearhuntingarmor]

7:01 the funniest thing is that unironically looks way better that way also I like the Protected Cruiser, idk if this will be annoying but switching over to Centimeter might be a neat way to flavor the campaign compared to standard Imperial

[@Silentservice77]

I love the battle brick I have a challenge for you keep one of them around until the end Edit: putting in a official request for a museum fleet to be maintained later in the campaign

[@script_crafter]

Museum fleet has my vote :)

[@mariushorn8730]

did this in a lot of my campaigns, the first ship of every class was safely stored away in one of my ports as a museum piece (would still upgrade though as a sort of last ditch emergency fleet)^^

[@Silentservice77]

@@mariushorn8730 I normally do it with ships that I on foreign stations as it's in their history it was only because they weren't with the main bunch that were scrapped that they lived to become a museum. Kinda like how Belfast survived long enough to be the most intact of the last 2 British light cruisers that she would be chosen for preservation.

[@mariushorn8730]

@@Silentservice77 yeah, from an historic standpoint that makes absolutely sense, but I'm doing it for the lulz basically, it's ridicolous what monstrositys early hulls can become when you upgrade them^^ I once had a Battleship 1 or 2 hull doing almost 30 knots, acting basically like an cruiser. Can't remember which patch version that was though :D

[@Kholdstare1987]

GEKOLONISEERD!

[@cathyharrop3348]

A New Koninklijke Marine GAZET VAN ANTWERPEN 01-Jan-1890 In a controversial decision the Grote Admiraal has decided to forgo the purchase of 10 thousand ton ironclad battleships from the yards in Great Britain and invest the available funds for the construction of new larger slipways in Antwerp and Amsterdam. This will not only eventually allow us to build our own battleships, or Pantserschepen, but to repair them in time of war and refit them in time of peace. The new Royal Navy which is just commissioning consists of two Van Ewijk class Pantserkruisers, four Rotterdam class Gordelkruisers, and fifteen Z-1 class Torpedoboten. These, with careful diplomacy, we are told, will keep the Groot-Nederland Empire safe in the East and West Indies and central Africa.

[@avancenajoseph1131]

Well, the Dutch Navy may not amount to much, but it should suffice as things are in the first few years. Lie low, grow slow, and beforethey knew it, you now wield a formidable main battle line of decent modern warships to protect and enforce your interests, maybe recapture former Dutch colonies long lost, and reassert dominance along the trade routes of the long defunct Dutch East India Company.

[@wastelander89]

Love the new campaign so far. Thanks for keeping things fun in each episode as always.

[@peterseifert_aka_Rocket]

About the funnels, I'm thinking of splicing the different classes out so we won't have any weird mixes like cl and BB or something else But the first priority are the gun models so prepare to wait a little for it

[@dwwolf4636]

Gun models are totally weird in scaling.

[@dwwolf4636]

So I completely agree with gun models first

[@connycontainer9459]

Since there is already one resource in the game, which is oil. Do you think it would be possible to add others like coal and iron for example, giving it's owners boni for construction or coal fired engines ? Not expecting Victoria 2 levels of economy but maybe something really simple.

[@BrotherMunro]

Not now the game is no longer under development sadly

[@connycontainer9459]

@BrotherMunro I know, I was hoping mods could expand on that. I do understand however if that's not possible.

[@BrotherMunro]

@@connycontainer9459 ah, well at the moment we can play around with the text files but most of the game is locked away, it can be poked at via harmony but I lack the skills to do anything with that and rely on Nathan Kell’s help

[@josephdedrick9337]

To be fair, most every nation in the game had supplies of each in their home provinces so it wouldn't add much if u kept it accurate.

[@script_crafter]

I think it would be nice to have sort of a “split fleet” doctrine! One set of designs (of possibly all classes except maybe BCs) is purely for defense of the homeland and the colonies, being low range, high beam, low draft, armor focused ships. This would be complimented by a set of designs (of all classes) that is purely designed around range, speed, firepower, etc. as an attack fleet :)

[@benjaminspencer6507]

I see BBs on the major powers!! Getting ready to flex their muscles!!

[@JamesReagan-l6y]

Yes love it !!!❤

[@cathyharrop3348]

Rapport: Design of the Van Ewijk class of Pantserkruisers. Nederland Koninklijke Marine: Scheepsontwerp- en constructiebureau: Datum: 08-Feb-1889 Brief: The Van Ewijk class will consist of two Pantserkruisers designed to a target displacement of 4,700 tons and a top speed of 16 knots. These will be the heaviest ships of the fleet for now as we expand our slipways, designed for defense in the North Sea. Propulsion: The class has three steam engines provided steam by three naturally aspirated boilers burning coal vented though two funnels generating 5,134 indicated horsepower turning three screws for the required top speed on a design displacement of 4,667 tons fully loaded with a balanced rudder turned by steam power for an operational range of 1,931 nautical miles. Armament: The class' main battery is two single turrets, one forward and one aft, bearing 6"/29 Mark 1 guns 7" face, 0.3" top, 3.9" barbette compound armor, turned by hydraulic power with enhanced reloading, and internal barbette armor to prevent penetration. The main magazine carries a standard load of standard sized 62.5% Standard AP and 37.5% Base Fuze HE shells using Brown Powder as the propellant and black powder as the bursting charge. The secondary battery is sixteen casemates mounted eight per side bearing 4"/32 Mark 1 guns with 6" face and 0.2" top compound armor. The tertiary battery is six casemates three per side bearing 2"/36 Mark 1 guns with 3" face and 0.2" top compound armor. The secondary and tertiary magazines carry a standard load of standard sized 62.5% Base Fuze HE and 37.5% standard AP shells. Six Mark 1 under water tubes fore, aft, and two per side launching a standard load of 15" torpedoes with compressed air aided combustion rounds out the armament. Protection: Compound armor is clade with an added underwater protective deck 5.5" on the main belt, 1.5" on the extended belt, 0.3" on the main deck, 0.2" on the extended deck, 0.1" on the inner deck, 1.5" on the superstructure, and 1.9" on the conning tower. The Class has a single bottom hull and standard bulkheads separating normal compartmentation. A crew of 583 officers and enlisted men will be provided cramped quarters. The class carries radio communications systems. Construction: The class will consist of the lead ship Van Ewijk, and Holland. Build time will be 11 month with a commissioning time of 2 months. Cost per ship will be $14,765,250, and monthly maintenance in port of $779,605.

[@stuartmehlberg808]

Huzzah (the peasants rejoice)! Same Day Campaign Release!!! Pretty Satisfying Campaign Beginning BrotherMunro! I like your choices of cruiser numbers (& their geographic coverage areas to start the campaign) I suspect the Congo (& Southern Africa) is going to be VITAL to hold as both a Convoy Escort/ Raiding Base & Refueling/ Repairing stop for your Capital Fleets. At least till you gain other toeholds to the East Indies. At least w/ your barge design philosophy, you'll never have a Control Tower too wide (or a Turret too big) to place. Furthermore, unlike your French neighbors, you be designing to hold fast & fight, over "bravely" running away. 😉

[@pittsburghmcconnell]

Thank you

[@johnfranciscastilloatienza2555]

I like the Dutch campaign in Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts PS: End of the Byzantine Empire campain is very good

[@theworkshopwhisperer.5902]

Your front tower is just shy he was much happier at the back. Why can't I have my front tower at the back I would genuinely go and find a mod for that.

Rapport: Design of the Z-1 class of Torpedoboten. Nederland Koninklijke Marine: Scheepsontwerp- en constructiebureau: Datum: 05-Jul-1889 Brief: The Z-1 class will consist of fifteen Torpedoboten designed to a target displacement of 175 tons and a top speed of 24 knots. These boats will protect smaller stations. Propulsion: The class has a steam engine provided steam by one naturally aspirated boiler burning coal vented though two funnels generating 1,159 indicated horsepower turning two screws for the required top speed on a design displacement of 171 tons fully loaded with a balanced rudder turned by steam power for an operational range of 1,444 nautical miles. Armament: The class' main battery is one single mount forward bearing a 3"/25 Mark 1 gun turned by hydraulic power with enhanced reloading.

[@furlosifurfox5794]

Really like The Great Game, always felt UAD should of gone for a bit more Alt-Historic stuff. Had an Idea, how hard would it be to remake The Mughal Empire, or a version of it in UAD? Britain is very OP in UAD (yes I know thats to be expected). Creating a super Mughal Empire I think would help some with that along with adding a very interesting new faction. Just a thought I had, anhow love your stuff BM! keep up the great work!

[@BrotherMunro]

Not too hard, the main issue making a new country is deciding what hulls to give it and then manually adding the entries into the parts file

[@furlosifurfox5794]

@@BrotherMunro yeah seems like it would be pretty time consuming

[@schiefer1103]

Huh, had a feeling you’d go dutch, guess people (and you) agreed…

[@Dragon_King-p3c]

Can you do a video on how to install this mod

[@BrotherMunro]

I’ll do a proper one when the mod gets released for 1.7 but I also have this quick guide How to Install DIPv3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmG1hIKkg9WNb7s

[@EhreManav]

We deff need Ottomans to balance it with the byzantine walkthrough 😂

[@skyeye7274]

Hey there! Is there any chance of Sweden (not the whole of Scandanavia) being added to regular DIP v3? They have a very long and interesting naval history and would fit well with the other minor powers.

[@BrotherMunro]

They would but the ui can’t cope with more countries in what will be renamed DIP Extended

[@jakevanderveen9213]

Since we're playing as the Dutch now, wouldn't it be project vrienden?

[@dwwolf4636]

Why on Earth is there no port of Rotterdam ?

[@BrotherMunro]

I have no idea. I've not tried to add a port before, could be interesting...

[@jpc347]

Rotterdam isn't a major port for the Dutch Navy. They currently and historically operated out of Den Helder, with Amsterdam being their largest secondary operating base. Rotterdam is a smaller secondary base.

[@reefingmedic7537]

Do you have a video about what the DIP is about? Is it a venture to keep the game alive as I’ve heard the developers stopped?

[@BrotherMunro]

I’ve a few but the basics are just making the game better by removing under developed mechanics (like submarines) and fixing others (like penetration). DIP development will continue even though the game is officially no longer being worked on

[@reefingmedic7537]

@ thanks for the info!!!

[@ryanbrewis6990]

Could a Jeune Ecole type fleet work in this game? So a lot of torpedo boats for home and local defence and cruisers to do raiding? Or would it end up with you getting smacked by battleships eventually?

[@TrinityShoji]

Could've reduced how much torpedoes the CLs carry. Probably could have kept the 4in belt, and you still have a few torpedoes for reload due to having tubes on every slot that wouldn't be used.

[@13stalag13]

CA captain here. Please give me an armoured cruiser named Tromp, If it gets retired later just name me a new one.

[@DGoeij]

Excuse me while I belt out 'Het Wilhelmus' before continuing the video.

[@starshine_project]

I wonder if you could fix the ludicrously big mark 2 2-5in gun models for nations like china because it becomes impossible to design a viable light cruiser past like 1895; the guns can't fit into the little sponsons and you can't put multiple side mounts on the bow and stern. I think swapping it for the shielded pedestal mount or letting them keep the mark one models would make a playthrough much more viable. Cheers

We can sort of cobble together hulls and guns and/or make ships available to countries that don’t normally get them, but we don’t know how to add new models

Wondering if there is a mobile version.. ? My PC died.. 😢

Of UAD? No sorry

[@Plotatothewondercat]

Clearly the heart of any dutch campaign must be insecurity about how flat the country is resulting in every ship being build with the maximum achievable degree of superduperfiring. More metacentric height is more better.

[@Jan-mu6vs]

We like our country like we like our women. But the real thing we did is make our country unsinkable even though lots of it is below sea level. So the ships should be armoured and unsinkable like the lands. * The answer th the riddle: flat, really wet and greeeeen😮

[@SYNtemp]

Aw, heavy "roleplaying" just from the start... "wide beam and shallow draft" damn why?? Because that is IN YOUR OPINION good for Dutchies? What, do you at same time expect enemies with deep draft have any trouble attacking Netherlands? Nope, they will have no penalties, so "own" limitation is pretty artificial :(

[@Medieval_Arpad_cooks]

can you _please_ go metric with the Netherlands? Imperial hurts my brain from a roleplaying PoV

[@BrotherMunro]

Oh no not metric campaign again! I suppose that makes sense. Ugh. Fine. We will convert at some point...
