Hello Admirals, Commodores, Captains, and every other kind of Master and Commander.
We are launching our very first ship design contest for Rule the Waves 3!
Every person entering the contest and making a valid submission will receive a Matrix store voucher worth 15 USD. The contests winners will also receive a voucher worth 30 dollars.
Contest Rules: Submit a picture of your ship with both its guns page and additional armaments page.
Give us a little story why the ship is designed the way it is or it's battle history. This can be humorous, knowledgeable or just a darn good tale about you ship (max 300 characters). You may submit in both categories but you can only be picked as a winner in one of them. Variant technology submissions are also acceptable.
Please only submit a ship designed in an unmodded version of the game.
Category 1 - 1920 Dreadnought: Design a Dreadnought using the 1920's start. This can be with or without the Washington Naval Treaty. Perhaps in your game the First World War never occurred and you decided to build something like the Incomparable?
Category 2 - 1890-1920 Dreadnought, Battleship, Battlecruiser: Here we want to see that heavy ship you loved. Maybe it was your first generation of Dreadnought or Battlecruiser that dominated the seas and changed warfare, or an old ironclad that managed to stick around despite technology changing the world around it. Submit your capital ships designed, built, and in service at any point from 1890-1920.
Players should submit their designs to rtw3contest@gmail.com
Now for our community judges, we are proud to announce they are:
DasTactic: If you ever needed a tutorial on how to play a Matrix game, DasTactic has probably done a video on it. From Distant Worlds to Shadow Empire Das's videos are a familiar sight in our wargaming community.
Drachinifel: Creator of the best naval guides out there. If you ever had even the slightest interest in a topic about warships, Drachinifel has you covered. From triple expansion boilers to the war galleys of antiquity, he has made a video on it.
BrotherMunro: If you want to find a Youtuber enthusiastic about games with ships and naval combat, BrotherMunro is your man. If it's about sailing the seas or boosting from orbit, he has probably played it.
With a judge selecting a winner for each category, we will have six victorious designs. The winners will have their ships and stories broadcast when we announce the contest results with the judges on our livestream! The date and time of this stream will be announced when submissions close.
Submissions close October 16th, so get those ships in!
