Ships have values for ship Power, ship Structure, Cargo capacity and other abilities.

• Ship Power is used to calculate attack, in a fight.
• Ship Structure determines the amount of damage a fleet can take before being destroyed.
• Cargo capacity limits the amount of resources a ship can carry for trade.

• Ships need a minimum number of Sailors, as crew, to go on a Trade mission or an Expansion mission.
• Some ships have special abilities.
• Ships use Supplies for a Trade mission.

Ship specifications:
Ship	Power	Structure	Cargo	Crew	Special ability 1	Special ability 2
Galley	150	5 000	5 000	2 Sailors	—	—
Galleon	500	15 000	25 000	5 Sailors	—	—
Fireship	0	4 000	0	3 Sailors	100 Fire	do not sail for trade
Caravel	200	6 000	10 000	3 Sailors	75 Chains	reduce mission time

• Other factors, improve ship specifications.

Changes to ship Power
Each Title granted to Foehn increases ship Power by 10%; and A Cannon increases ship Power, by an amount that depends on its name and any upgrades.

Changes to ship Structure
Researching Careening increases ship Structure by 20%; and Each Title granted to Foehn increases ship Structure by 10%.

Changes to Cargo capacity
Each Title granted to Foehn increases Cargo capacity by 15%; and A Crate heirloom increases Cargo capacity, by an amount that depends on its name and any upgrades.

Changes to Fire
Each Title granted to Foehn increases Fire by 10%; and A Cannon increases Fire, by an amount that depends on its name and any upgrades.

Some ships have special abilities.

• Fireship:
  • shoot fire that damages enemies in a fight; and
  • do not sail on Trade missions.

• Caravel:
  • shoot chains that incapacitate enemy Power; and
  • reduce Trade mission time.

• Ships require Sailors as crew, for a Trade mission or an Expansion mission, or they will not sail.

Crew required:
Ship	Sailors
Galley	2
Galleon	5
Fireship 1	3
Caravel	3
1 not for Trade missions

• Crew are not required for ship construction or if ships remain idle at their Docks.
• When you salvage a ship, crew is not lost and remain as Sailors.
• When you lose a fleet fight, your crew dies but Population is not lost.

You can remove a ship, from your fleet, with the 'Salvage 1' button.

• Salvaging a ship frees up Docks.
• The amount of resources returned, when you salvage a ship, varies in a range.

Resources returned:

Trade mission

Trade mission
Details
Send ships to trade resources with other empires
Require:	Trade
Other:	Ships require Sailors and Supplies
Category:	Dock

Send ships to trade resources.

• You can import and export some resources.

• Ships need crew and Supplies for a Trade mission.

• Cargo capacity limits the quantity of resources that ships carry.

• The fleet has to return, for the trade to be completed.

• The fleet may also bring back some bonus.

Access

Trade mission appears, at the Dock, after you research Trade on Technologies.

• You can send your fleet to trade resources, after you research Trade.

• Trade has a requirement to access and research.

Technology required:
Technology	Requirement	Research cost
Trade	build 8 Libraries	Food	7 000
		Gold	45
		Coin	50

Trading resources

You can trade resources with your ships.

• Not all resources can be traded.

• The quantity of resources, on a mission is limited by Cargo capacity.

• The amount imported, depends on the amount exported and an exchange rate.

Resources you can trade:
Imports & Exports:					Imports only:		Exports only:
Coal	Food	Mineral	Tin		Gold		Chemicals 1
Copper	Iron	Steel	Wood		Nickel 2		Sand 3
1 You need a Laboratory to trade Chemicals 2 You need a Repository to receive Nickel 3 You need a Crusher to trade Sand

How to trade

Trade mission at the Dock

You can exchange resources, with your fleet, with the Trade mission dialogue box:

1. Select resources to 'Send' and 'Receive':

• select resource to export from 'Send' drop-down menu; and
• select resource to import from 'Receive' drop-down menu;
  (If imports for Wood do not show: select another resource to send, then re-select Wood from 'Send' drop-down menu).

The exchange rate, displayed between selections, determines the amount of resource received.
 

2. select 'Amount' of resource to send by one or more of the following:

• MAX button - sets 'Amount' with available resource up to the Cargo capacity of the fleet;
• enter number into 'Amount' text box; (N.B. May not update 'You get' cargo information.);
• use up and down arrows to increase or decrease 'Amount'.

The cargo 'You get', the Supplies required and the Sailors needed as 'crew' for the mission is displayed.

3. Send your fleet on the mission with the 'Trade' button.

• A timer shows when the fleet will return and the trade is completed.

The fleet will not sail, if: the trade exceeds Cargo capacity; or you do not have enough Sailors, Supplies or resource.

Trade fleet

You can trade resources with some ships.

• All ships sail on a trade mission except Fireship.

• Ships need Sailors as crew and use Supplies for missions.

• The amount a fleet can carry is limited by Cargo capacity.

• Caravel reduce mission time.

Ships for trade:
Ship	Cargo	Crew	Supplies	Special ability
Galley	5 000	2 Sailors	1	—
Galleon	25 000	5 Sailors	10	—
Caravel	10 000	3 Sailors	3	reduces mission time

Fireship do not sail and the mission does not need Sailors or Supplies for them.

Other factors increase Cargo capacity.

Cargo capacity

Cargo capacity limits how much ships carry, on a mission.
 

• Different ships have different capacities.

Ship capacity:
Ship	Cargo
Galley	5 000
Galleon	25 000
Caravel	10 000

Other factors increment Cargo capacity:

Bonuses to capacity:
Item	Cargo
Foehn	15% per Title
Crate heirloom	varies

Mission time

Your fleet takes time to sail on a Trade mission.

• When a trade is made:
  • a countdown timer indicates when the fleet will return:
  • you get the resource from the trade when the fleet returns.
  • the fleet has to return before another Trade mission or Expansion mission is possible.

• Trade missions initially take 5 minutes.

• Careening reduces mission time by 30 seconds.

• Caravel reduce mission time.

Trade mission time, (in seconds):
Careening not researched:	6 000 ÷ ( n + 20 )
Careening researched:	5 400 ÷ ( n + 20 )
where 'n' is the number of your Caravel.

If you Rush economy, the trade mission is completed immediately. (needs checking)

(Mission time pauses when you are offline, for v0.9.3 beta}.

Exchange rates

• Trades have different exchange rates depending on the resources involved.

• The amount of resource exported returns a specific amount of another.

• The amount imported is calculated by a ratio × the 'Amount' you send.

Exchange rates
Import ratios: imported resources and exchange rates with resource exported Export ratios: exported resources and exchange rates with resource imported

Non-reciprocating trades

Exchange rates depend on the direction of trade between resources.

When trading resource A and resource B: If the trade A → B has ratio x:y, then the trade B → A may not have ratio y:x

Trades with exchange rates that do not reciprocate, include some trades for:
Coal; Copper; Food; Iron; Mineral; Steel; Tin; and Wood.

Trades with ratios that do not reciprocate:
Coal ↔ Food			Food ↔ Steel
Coal ↔ Iron			Iron ↔ Mineral
Coal ↔ Tin			Iron ↔ Steel
Copper ↔ Mineral			Iron ↔ Wood
Food ↔ Iron			Mineral ↔ Steel
Food ↔ Mineral			Mineral ↔ Wood

Bonus returns

When your ships return, from a Trade mission, there is a chance they bring back some bonus.
 

• There is a 10% chance, your fleet, brings back one Lock.

• There is a 30% chance, you gain Knowledge by learning about other cultures.

Possible Knowledge gained, varies within a range and depends on the number of ships that sailed.
 

Range of possible knowledge gain:
0 → ( 15 × Galleys ) + ( 50 × Galleons ) + ( 20 × Caravels )

• There is a 2% chance the locals will give you an heirloom

N.B. Calculations for ship numbers are rounded to the nearest whole number.

Your fleet

Your fleet consists of all your ships.

• All your ships sail on an Expansion mission.

• The fleet requires Sailors, as crew, for the mission.

• The fleet's Power and Structure determine the result of the mission.

• Fireship, throw Fire to damage enemies.

• Caravel, throw Chains to incapacitate enemy Power.

Ships for expansion:
Ship	Power	Structure	Special ability	Crew
Galley	150	5 000	—	2 Sailors
Galleon	500	15 000	—	5 Sailors
Fireship	0	4 000	100 Fire	3 Sailors
Caravel	200	6 000	75 Chains	3 Sailors

Other factors increment values for Ship Power, ship Structure and Fire.

Fleet fight

Fights take place between your fleet and an enemy fleet.

• Fleets attack, in rounds, to damage their opponent's fleet Structure.

• Attack and Fire reduce fleet Structure.

• Total fleet Power is used to calculate attack.

• A fleet is destroyed when total fleet Structure is lost.

• During the fight, individual ships continue to attack until the fleet is destroyed.

• Chains lower enemy attack by incapacitating Power.

• You win a fight by destroying the enemy fleet.

• You lose the fight if your fleet gets destroyed.

• If both fleets survive 50 rounds, it is a draw. (51 rounds; correct v0.9.2 beta)

Rounds in a fight

Fights between your fleet and the enemy take place in rounds.

In the rounds of a fight, ships are not lost and continue to attack until the fight is over.

• In a round of a fight:
  • fleets attack using their Power.
  • Caravel, throw Chains;
  • Fireship, shoot Fire;

Fights last 50 rounds, if both fleets survive *50 rounds it is a draw. (*51 rounds; correct v0.9.2 beta.)

Your attack

Your ships attack, in the rounds of a fight, to reduce enemy fleet structure.

Enemy fleets are damaged by your attack and by Fire.

• Your attack is calculated using your fleet's total Power.

• Fireship, shoot Fire to inflict burn damage.

• Other factors increment your fleet's Power and Fire.

In a round of a fight, your attack varies within a range.

Variation in your attack:
Total Power ± 33%

Fire thrown by Fireship causes burn damage to the enemy.

• In a round of a fight, burn damage includes: burn damage from the previous round; and a variable increase.

• The increase in burn damage, varies in a range and depends on:
  • number of Fireship in your fleet; and
  • bonuses to Fire.

Burn damage, in a round, (Br):
Br = Br-1 + Bi
where 'Bi' is increase in Burn damage, in a round; and 'Br-1' is burn damage in previous round.

Range for Burn damage increase, in a round, (Bi):
{100× Fireships + ( bonuses to ship Power ) } ± 33%

When your attack and burn damage reduces enemy fleet Structure to 0, you win the fight.
 

Enemy attack

Enemy attack reduces your fleet structure.

• Enemy fleet Power is used to calculate enemy attack.

• In each round, enemy attack varies within a range.

Variation in enemy attack:
Enemy Power ± 66%

In each round, Caravel throw Chains to incapacitate enemy fleet Power.

Variation in enemy attack with Caravel in your fleet:
( Enemy power - Ir ) ± 66%.
where 'Ir' is incapacitation to power.

• In each round of a fight, Chains thrown by Caravel:
  • permanently incapacitate enemy Power; and
  • increase the amount incapacitated by a variable amount.

• The increase in amount incapacitated, by Chains, in a round of a fight:
  • lies within a range; and
  • depends on the number of Caravel in your fleet.

Incapacitation, in a round, (Ir):
Ir  =  Ir-1 + Ii
where 'Ir-1' is incapacitation in previous round and Ii is increase in current round.

Range for incapacitation increase, in a round, (Ii):
{ 75 × Caravels } ± 33%

When enemy attack reduces your fleet Structure below 0, you lose the fight.

After the fight

The fight ends when a fleet is destroyed or if the fight lasts over 50 rounds.

• You win if you destroy the enemy.

• You lose if your fleet is destroyed.

• If both fleets survive 50 rounds of the fight, it's a draw. (51 rounds; correct v0.9.2 beta.) 

• If both fleets get destroyed, in the same round of a fight, you lose.

You win

• You win when you destroy the enemy fleet.
  • All your ships and Sailors survive.
  • You gain the Territory protected by the enemy.

• The next Expansion mission will have a stronger enemy, protecting even more territory. Good luck!

You lose

• You lose when the enemy destroys your total fleet structure.
  • All your ships get destroyed, returning some resources.
  • The crew die, however Population is not lost.

• The number of enemy and Territory protected does not change. Time to rebuild!

• The amount of resources received, from destroyed ships, varies in a range.

Returns after a ship is destroyed:
Ship	Plank	Structure
Galley	0 → 100	0 → 30
Galleon	0 → 500	0 → 200
Fireship	0 → 200	—
