Rule the Waves places you in the role of 'Grand Admiral' during the early years of the 20th Century. You manage the naval affairs of your chosen nation while navigating between the desires and demands of your own government, the efforts of potential adversaries, and the affairs of your potential allies.
The battle resolution mechanics are based upon our successful Steam and Iron (SAI) system for combat but technichal, economic and foreign policy decisions will also be necessary as the player guides their navy's design, construction, deployment and operations during a period of great technological innovation and political tensions.
Miscellaneous changes from RTW1
• The world map has had some zones added to it, to emphasize the importance of the Suez canal and to make the map better suited to wars in the pacific.
• Trade warfare, both in the form of raiders and submarines, is now summarized in one screen instead of a number of separate messages.
• Refurbished the political system...

When Siberia shivers, it's time to fix ships in the ice
Video
YAKUTSK, Russia - When the Siberian winter bites and the mighty Lena River freezes, workers at the Yakutsk shipyard brace for a backbreaking but vital task - 'vymorozka'.
As Siberia's summer is so short, freighters must be kept moving while the river, whose 4,400 km (2,735 miles) carry the region's economic lifeblood, is navigable. Repairs must be done in winter, when the river is frozen and the ships are wedged tight in the ice.
Vymorozka, which translates as 'freezing out', is the process of cutting away the ice from around a ship's hull with chainsaws, then pickaxes and hammers, exposing areas needing repair, which are usually below the waterline.
It is a practice unique to Siberia, and has been going on as long as locals can remember.
Vymorozka is arduous and tedious; workers endure temperatures as low as -50 Celsius (-58 Fahrenheit). The work may seem brutal, but it requires the accuracy and patience of surgery. The colder it is, the better.
"December and November were rather warm. The freeze is happening slowly. But the frost has begun, it is 46 (below zero, Celsius) today, so it's all wonderful," said Alexander Azarov, chief...
