Rule the Waves is of course an alternative history game, but one that assumes that many historical events and trends that occur in the original time line (OTL) also do so in all Rule the Waves timelines. One such assumption is what technologies a nation has advantages in.
I think it would be an interesting option at the start of a campaign to have randomized technology advantages/disadvantages. This could be revealed to the players in a way such as:
New Reseach Area Discovered: aviation, heavier-than-air. Our scientists have embraced this field of research with great enthusiasm!
New Research Area Discovered: Missile Technology. The scientific community largely seems uninterested in this concept.
Intelligence report Japan: Japanese scientists seem greatly interested in the field of shipboard aircraft aviation.
