Naval Estimates: The Dreadnought Age is a naval grand strategy wargame set in the era when a single ship made every battleship afloat obsolete. You don't pick warships from a list -you design them: the guns (internal ballistics, barrel wear and all), the turrets that carry them, the hulls that carry those -and eventually, the budget that pays for it all.
#### IN THIS BUILD - THE COMPLETE DESIGN SUITE
- Gun designer: period internal ballistics - pressure curves, muzzle velocity, barrel life, armor penetration
- Turret designer: mountings from deck pedestals to thousand-ton barbette turrets -weights, arcs, rates of fire
- Ship designer: hulls, armor schemes, machinery, stability -with a 3D viewer to visualize your creations
- The Royal Navy, 1905: design the first Dreadnought yourself
- Guided tutorial, fully optional — switch it off and just build
- Save, export, and share your designs
#### COMING NEXT
