Ok yes we are technically the Eastern Roman Empire but considering that our Navy has been around for over a millennia, and is arguably nearly two millennia old, rocking around in an honest to goodness predreadnought feels very steampunk.

Seems like Scandinavia built up a big fleet of 12 battleships and then decided to take on the world.
I have been watching this in x2 speed and let me tell you munro your voice sounds funny in x2 speed
Hope the secondary mounts on your vessels can be used for the auxiliary Trireme propulsion system, because it seems like your ships are really going to need it!
What is your opinion on the new beginner difficulty? What is changed from the regular difficulty to make it easier?
Small battleship is king.
Efficient secondary gun positions…..
Doubles as small ersatz Heavy Cruiser once you move on to real Dreadnoughts etc.
Hey, what are the chances the DIP can be updated to automatically adjust armour quality, instead of having to manually move the slider? Say every in-game year or something, instead of on a ship-by-ship basis? Or is it very much impossible?
😍
The Germans not liking the greeks is weirdly A-Historical, Germany at the time was notably greacophile, to distinguish itself from the "romanophile" French.
News of the World
New Flagship Laid Down 10:00:
Konstantinoúpoli Kathimeriná Néa
ε.Κ. 10/24/7402, A.D.10/24/1893
Aftokratorikó Romaïkó Naftikó has announced that a Navarchída is under construction, the Sachtouris. A Thoriktó 1is vathmídas (First Rank or Class Battleship), she will displace 14,364 fully loaded, have a 18 knot top speed, carry a crew of 1039, have a main battery of two twin 12” guns, and sixteen casemate 6” guns, as well as six underwater torpedo tubes. She will be based in Constantinople where she can project power into the Black Sea or the Aegean Sea.
Alliance with Britain 15:45:
Konstantinoúpoli Kathimeriná Néa
ε.Κ. 7/12/7403, A.D.7/12/1895
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland has offered an alliance with the Aftokratoría tis Rómis, and Constantinople has agreed. With the Russian Empire starting to break apart at the edge, Armenia already having gained its independence and southern Finland in revolt, gaining an alliance with the richest empire in the world may have risks, but should also have benefits.
Britain is also allied with the United States of America.
War to Dis-unify Scandinavia 17:16:
Konstantinoúpoli Kathimeriná Néa
ε.Κ. 3/1/7404, A.D.3/1/1896
The Reino de España has joined the Troisième République Française and the Deutsches Kaiserreich in their war to break up the Kalmar Union, the personal union of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, which also is laying claim to Finland. The disestablishmentarianism of these three powers may be powerful enough to end Kalmar.
The House of Oldenburg has made enemies around the world. They have managed to maintain modestly good relations with the Chinese government, the United States, and interestingly, the Aftokratoría tis Rómis. Their fleet is not large in displacement, but is fairly new.
Constantinople is wary of the situation, with our alliance with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Irelands, which should be concerned by disestablishmentarianism themselves, leaves us relatively isolated in the world.
Ekthesi: Design of the Scahtouris class of Thoriktó 1is vathmídas. 05:08:
Aftokratoría tis Rómis: Aftokratorikó Romaïkó Naftikó:
Diéfthynsi Nafpígisis Ploíon: Grafeío Schediasmoú Ploíon:
Imerominía: ε.Κ. 10/14/7402, A.D.10/14/1893
Brief: The Scahtouris class will consist of one Thoriktó 1is vathmídas designed to a target displacement of 14,500 tons and a top speed of 18 knots. The Scahtous will be our first modern battleship design, and will serve as the flagship, Navarchída, of the fleet. With the new engines she will have the longest range in the fleet.
Propulsion: The class has three triple expansion engines provided steam by three naturally aspirated boilers burning new coal vented though four funnels generating 11,431 indicated horsepower turning three screws for the required top speed on a design displacement of 14,364 tons fully loaded with a unbalanced rudder turned by steam power for an operational range of 2,140 nautical miles.
Armament: The class' main battery is two twin turrets mounted fore and aft bearing 12"/34 Mark 1 guns with 15" face , 0.5" top, and , 15" barbette nickel steel armor, turned by hydraulic power with enhanced reloading, and internal barbette armor to prevent penetration. The main magazine carries a Standard load of Standard sized 62.5% Standard AP and 37.5% Base Fuze HE shells using White Powder as the propellant and Guncotton as the bursting charge. The secondary battery is sixteen casemates mounted eight per side bearing 6"/40 Mark 1 guns with 2" face and 0.2" top nickel steel armor. The secondary magazine carries a Standard load of Standard sized 62.5% Base Fuze HE and 37.5% Standard AP shells. Six Mark 1 under water tubes fore, aft, and one per side launching a standard load of 16" torpedoes with compressed air aided combustion rounds out the armament.
Protection: Nickel steel armor is clade with an added underwater protective deck 14" on the main belt, 4" on the extended belt, 0.5" on the main deck, 0.2" on the extended deck, .2" on the inner deck, 4" on the superstructure, and 12.6" on the conning tower. The Class has a single bottom hull and standard bulkheads separating improved compartmentation and anti-torpedo bulges. A crew of 1039 officers and enlisted men will be provided standard quarters. The class carries radio communications systems.
Construction: The class will consist of one ship. Build time will be 15 months with a commissioning time of 3 months. Cost per ship will be $63,458,710, and monthly maintenance in port of $2,411,431.

I think I've mentioned it before but once you start taking more ports it becomes a chore to scroll up and down trying to find the port you want,
So an improvement for DiP might be to type in the port you want with some AI assistance once you start to enter the name if auto completes? Just an idea
Bro AH and Germany being called Goths was something I did not know I needed to hear, it was unexpectedly humorous.
I Love alt history worlds and this one makes gameplay better a awesome combo.
Thanks Brother!
Man I wanted to see the other goofy BB hulls 🙁
Max wait ships
Constantinople just chilling while elsewhere the flames of war burn hot.
Also, based on the title I thought you have unlocked the dreadnoughts quite early until I checked it out a second time. 😅
Is there a way you could add an option to spy on other nations? That way you could steal tech or information on their ship design.
Question: To your knowledge, is there a mod, or is it possible to mod, so that "Improve relations", "Increase tension", "Peace treaty", would have a 100% chance of succes, instead of the dice roll currently in the game?
The Armored Cruiser II hull had a big jump in stability (+20 points) over the Armored Cruiser, as compensation for the smaller hull and crufty mast.
"None of the Goths like us, or the Spanish." Maybe aka the Visigoths in this universe?
Long live Byzantium
