If I’m reading that correctly, German spending was equal to the US, and about half of the UK, before WWI? Yes, that is exactly correct. The highest priority for the US was commerce, not security or prestige. To them, prestige rested on prosperity. The US Navy served maritime trade and when it went to war, it was to raid merchant ships. We never believe that command of the seas was important. The change was due to Alfred Thayer Mahan and other naval officers who wanted to change the view of the US. That is why our spending was only half as much as the British. The British had an empire to protect and command of the seas was important. It was not to us. |

The British had an empire to protect and command of the seas was important. It was not to us. Where in that source are comparative spending figures listed? Table A.1 lists expenditures in their original currencies; I'm not sure what Table A.2 is supposed to be, but for each of the powers listed the 1913 figure is 100, so it's comparing each power to itself in different years, not different powers to one another. I have no idea what 'long cycle construction values' are, and the final graph doesn't seem to compare different powers either (or at least it doesn't have a legend.) |

I'm using currency conversions to change everything into USD for that year |

Any idea why no save is showing up in RtW2 after I drag the save files into Game6? I deleted the folder first. What could be going wrong?

Each save game has two files that identify the saved game. Example: RTWGame1.BCS and RTWGame1.sta sta file. If you put a save file with a number that is not the number of the save game I.E. an RTWGame6.bcs in a save game 1 subdirectory, it will not see it.

Seawolf can you tell me how to run your mod. historical legasy fleet 1922 I I have attached a screenshot of what I have but when I try to load mod it says no saved game in 6 slot View AttachmentAlright, a few steps 1. Copy that folder "Historical 1922 Fleets V2.0" and move it somewhere outside of the save games. I suggest moving it to the initial "Rule the Waves 2" Folder 2. Delete the entire folder "Game 6" under the "Save" folder 3. Then, open your copied "Historical 1922 Fleets V2.0", the subfolder "Starts", the subfolder for the nation you want to play "United Kingdom", and the option subfolder, for example "WNT-Versailles" for the historical start. The address would be C:\NWS\Rule the Waves 2\Historical 1922 Fleets V2.0\Starts\United Kingdom\WNT-Versailles . Inside this folder will be a folder "Game6" 4. Finally, copy that "Game6" back to the save folder, address C:\NWS\Rule the Waves 2\Save Hope this helps! I can provide additional assistance if needed |

Hi Seawolf - tried to follow your instructions but I am not good with loading mods.  The attachment shows what I am getting and when I press open nothing happens - any suggestions how to help as I am not computer savvy, also is the "save" folder listed on the left panel. Kind Regards, rjg Attachments:
