Rule the Waves III - Tutorial Campaign - Imperial Japan - Ep 17

letting the invasion get through was a little lazy... i also do not get why you would make a move on the italians in the med. just focus on the chinese, and when they peace out then the war with italy will be over too, right? at least thats how it used to be

Thanks. I couldn't figure out why there were so many ships, and the mission goals (sink two ships) seemed to be out of line with what one would expect in an invasion. Something along the lines of "Sink the invasion fleet." Seems to me this game still has quite a ways to go in terms of development.

Did I miss something? Invasion of Formosa was repulsed at that point. It was random convoy attack.

[@maxsk9074]

at 7:55 it was invaded. it was repulsed at 12:13 as you say but to a degree that was luck. he could very well have lost the colonie.

[@maxsk9074]

what do you mean with "it random convoy attack"?

[@antonisauren8998]

AFAIK planned invasion must take at least two months involving convoy battle in support. Here AI chickened out and declined it, resulting in imminenet failure. Battle in second half of the episode was unrelated so goal of sinking two transports was correct there.

Ultimate Admiral Dreadnpughts has far more realistic combat, compared to this game, though RTW3 is certainly a more polished production. Great series.

Looking back at all my goofy submissions for the UA:Dreadnaught Taskmaster Series I am not sure I fully subscribe to the realistic combat there 😅
