You feel like a meticulous naval administrator, obsessing over blueprints and budgets while the decades tick by and your fleet faces sudden, decisive combat.

What players say
Players call it a spreadsheet-driven naval simulator that outshines Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts for ship design freedom, spanning the age of ironclads to guided missiles. Several players warn that post-update balance made the carrier era frustrating, with overpowered land-based air power and AI map hacks.
