I would also recommend the memoirs of Admiral Scheer and Sir John Jellicoe, both of which cover the strategic aspects well. Be advised that these two men are quite heavy on the anti-British and anti-German propaganda (the other guys committed all the atrocities! Yeah, sure...) . What's more, both were acting as apologists for their conduct while in command - of course, this makes their books self-serving. Take their commentary with a grain of salt. To those who asked, the campaign layers are in the very early stages. Unfortunately I do not have screens of prize warfare implementation yet, but it IS COMING. Below, some other things worked on recently... Changes to the environment - I have been experimenting with different shades of green and blue for the water to make it seem less like the Pacific ocean. Note that the water reflects less sunlight than in other mods for SH4... Work on the "Project 25" series. I used a new system of hull creation (slicing a cube and working in the vertical plane first) - the results were MUCH easier to texture than the submarines I used to make. I will probably use this for all ships in the future. Gratings and some rivets are actual 3d parts, and not just drawn on the TGA/DDS files. Note the six torpedo tubes (4 bow, 2 stern) like a WWII Type IX boat; many WWI boats only had two forward facing tubes. The Project 25 boats also had a very impressive torpedo arsenal - 16 torpedoes instead of just six like the U-19 class, etc.

The use of the polys on your hulls is nothing short of amazing! Excellent economy for incredibly good looking results

Would like to thank all you guys for your consistent support!
Unfortunately I was not able to create the planned prize warfare update in time: that old nemesis Real Life (TM) has been driving me crazy! Moving, studying law, running a business in addition to my "real" job, and a little bit of romance....! However, I will be preparing the traditional big Christmas update, so stay tuned for that. The prize warfare update has finally been started, after major delays, so that will be another thing to look forward to. I will try to give you some screenshots in the very near future!

This is Amazing
For such a small core team and other subsimmers working on this so far it looks amazing perhaps you should consider iambecomelife and the others working on this of developing indie games with such dedication and passion so far. In the screen shots you have posted you could definitely pull it of.

hey guys, back on the topic of WW1 books I found a book on amazon, its called, "The Great War at Sea: A Naval History of the First World War',. Does anyone know if this book is good?
EDIT: I noticed in an earlier post that IABL said that the estimated release year was 2114. Is this the actual estimated relase year or just a joke? Last edited by avers; 12-18-14 at 10:04 PM. |

1st, yes jimbuana the first link in ur last post is the book I was talking about. 2nd, I know its probably too early to ask this question and I don't want this question make the team rush, but ill ask it anyway. Do we have an estimated release date and how much longer before this mod is released? Again, i'm not trying to rush anyone i'm just curious and excited.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Great-War-.../dp/1841580538 and also one by A. A. Hoehling. http://www.amazon.com/Great-War-Sea-.../dp/0313204683 I've always liked both, but from what others have said the newer one on Jim's list is probably better. Also it's hard to go wrong with Friedman.
