How can this ever be a victory?

My fleet probably wanted to flee, but they were busy creating artificial reefs.

I've reduced the amount of damage inflicted during naval battles to avoid battles in which entire fleets are wiped out. It makes the naval aspect of the game so much more enjoyable. No more Battles of Savo Island but more Jutlands.

Sounds like a good idea. What values do you use?

I did it so long ago, I'll have to go in and check. They're all in the misc. file. I also reduced the effect of planes against ships while increasing ship AA defense against planes. No more uber-naval bombers wiping out fleets.

I've adjusted the things below. I'm curious what the effect will be.

# Air vs. Navy - Str dmg - Increasing this will increase STR damage naval unit takes from air units [multiplier]

# Navy vs. Air - Str dmg - Increasing this will increase STR damage air unit takes from naval units [multiplier]

# Navy vs. Navy - Str dmg - Increasing this will increase STR damage naval unit takes from other naval units [multiplier]

Yep, those are the ones I adjusted. I also increased Org damage for Navy vs. Air. You might find it frustrating at first because you'll have a lot of engagements where no ships are sunk, but chasing the enemy away from contested waters is just as effective as wiping out his fleet. Plus, if you lose, you don't lose all your nice shiny new BBs to a CTF in a 4 hour engagement.

Thanks!
