The much maligned French Navy has a new admiral and a new purpose: To prove the honour and glory of the French maritime spirit! However the French government insists that any ships we build we use. No scrapping, no mothballing, all ships must fight until they are sunk or the campaign ends!

You got an imperial fist shake of anger at the use of metric.
Floating hotel campaign lets gooooooooooooooo
As a French speaking belgian it s really funny earing you destroying French names 😅
FRANCE FRANCE FRANCE
What about a hoarding campaign
Oh, Brother Munro, whenever I try to use the 1.7 version of the DIP (Dreadnought Improvement Project) with the open beta for 1.5 (the current open beta is 1.5, right? Whatever the current beta branch is), it doesn’t load, all that comes up when opening the game is a light grey screen that never changes. I’ve followed all the steps correctly, I’ve got the beta working on vanilla, but trying to load the mod doesn’t work. Do you know what might be happening or how I could get it to work?
I love your videos by the way, they’re my go-to when I have nothing else to watch and you have a nice/soothing voice
So, interesting tidbit.
Your battleship class is called "Indomptable" ; your armoured cruiser class is called "Bruix".
Bruix was a napoleonic era naval officer who first became the captain of the "Indomptable" ship of the line.
im just so glad that finally the brooklyn class is a thing now
"When Hotels go to War."
1890 is the superior start date
glad to be on the ground floor for this one! bonne chance!
I cannot wait to potentially see a Munrovian style Danton as the campaign progresses! Viva la France!
Be interesting to see how the torpedo boat stay relevant in the future
56:15
You might be better off trying to ally with Germany because Germany a) has a border with you and b) has a really good army… so yeah
Another french relic campaign. I cant wait for quebec 2 electric booagloo. A real ironclad of legend that scored a kill toward the end of your french campaign.
I always dislike how overpowered the French Economy is Ina most all my campaigns unless I conquer a part of mainland France before 1920, if they get to right wing Democracy it feels broken, they mostly outgrow USA and any other nation in crazy tempo, I hope you can somehow fix it with this mod
When you were talking about like the theme of this campaign I was thinking the French would have more guns on the back than the front for running away. Maybe next time.
And that might be a good strategy to build ships like that for the AI since they like to run away.
Viva la France
Call it the "No steel wasted" campaign
I like the challenge.
It's like it's an All Hands On Deck campaign.
French small torpedo cruiser is probably my favorite hull in the game. Its so small and has an age of sail broadside xD.
If memory serves theres a bigger version of the hull you get later on.
Glad you sensibly kept the Colonies , although you spelt it wrong
I feel like weilding a particularly smelly cheese and singing the La Marseillaise!
Babe wake up, new Brother Munro series just dropped
End of the Jeune École
Le Républicain Provence, Marseille
MDCCCLVIII, 12 October 1888
The Premier amiral de France (First Admiral) has laid forth his naval policy for the Marine Nationale the Troisième République Française (Third French Republic). It is an end to the power of the Jeune École (Young School) as the Amiral dictates “No Torpedo Boats”.
Construction has begun on four basic classes of ships;
Cuirassés de 1er Rang (Battleships of the 1st Rank). These ships will constitute the Vaisseau amiral (Flagship) of the three main Base navale principale (Main Naval Bases), Le Harve, Brest, and our own Marseille. For now the ships will be the three Indomptable class Cuirassés de 1er Rang, Indomptable, Belliqueuse, and Suffren. As naval design develops new ships will take over the task of being the Vaisseau amiral and the Indomptable class may be demoted to Cuirassés d’escardre (Battleship of the Squadron).
Croiseurs Cuirassés (Armored Cruisers). These ships will constitutes the Vaisseau amiral of the five Base navale régionale (Regional Naval Base), Fort Bayard in Kwang-Chou-Wan on mainland China, Fort de France in the French Antilles in the Caribbean, Dakar in Senegal in western Africa, Libreville in Gabon in central Africa, and Tunis in Tunisia in northern Africa. The Bruix class has been designed and is being built for these missions, and will consist of the Bruix, Inpennable, Latouch-Tréville, Congrève, and Lave.
Croiseur Léger (Light Cruisers). The ships will be assigned to the larger Station navale (Naval Station) around the world where such a presence is required. One will be assigned to Saint-Denis on Réunion in the western Indian Ocean. This will be the Colony class lead ship Colony, which takes its name from the fact it may also be referred to as a Croiseur de Colonie (Colony Cruisers). A second, the Surcouf, will be assigned to Cayenne in French Guiana on the north coast of South America on the Atlantic. The third being built at this time is the Suchet, to be assigned to Djibouti Station navale in Djibouti in eastern Africa off the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.
Frégate (Frigates). Two ships of the Troude class will be started in 1889, but this will be the first ships of a very large class. The Troude will be assigned to Saint Florent on the Island of Corsica in the Mediterranean, and the Aréthuse will be assigned to Bonifacio on Corsica.
As these ships are built and commissioned the Barbette ships Marceau, Neptune, Magenta, and Hoche will be decommissioned, as will all the torpedo boats to provide cadre for the Troude class. The personnel strength of the Marine Nationale will grow with modern training techniques and humane treatment.
Monies will also be spent on increasing the size of French shipyards. No longer will the limit shipyard expansion be dictated by accommodating the next design proposal for a capital ship with no thought to future needs. The Marine Nationale will also support the expansion of transport and merchant ship capability.
Please drop into the fleet screen in November 1890 so we can see where the ships were posted.
Always liked French ships from this era, even if they were terrible in reality. Looking forward to this campaign.
So you can not scrap anything like a normal navy?
Why not both numbers on the ship building capacity?
Try and watch Tex he made a playtrough with Italy showing in no uncertain way how torpedoboats are anything but useless.
Would love a ”please invade this landlocked region” button.
Right now it’s stupid when I’m getting constantly invaded by a region with 30k soldiers against my own with 500k soldiers in it.
