Ahoy Shipwrights!
We have been tinkering away at many aspects of the game, changing and framing them in a larger context. This planning spree has led to expanding the scope of the game and its features. With this expansion comes an additional list of potential ships you will be able to construct in your ever-growing shipyard.

Before you even think about assembling large ships in your shipyard, smaller vessels should be the centre of your attention. They will be key to the beginnings of your adventures.
Rafts are small and easy to manoeuvre in shallow and narrow bodies of water. Rafts will be useful in resource gathering and moving around before you build larger and more spacious boats and ships. Moving around swamps and rivers or the island will be much easier when you can hop onto this small vessel and paddle your way to resources.

Captains from all over the world will order new ships from you. This variety of clientele will allow you to learn techniques older than your family bloodline and use them to skyrocket it to glory by working on designs unheard of on your little island. Despite being ancient these traditional Chinese ships may become a crowning achievement of your shipyard. The wide range of uses as house and pleasure boats will be especially attractive to your rich clients who seek unique additions to their fleets.
These ships are sleek and often heavily decorated, which will help you unleash your artistic side.
[b]Frigates[/b]

Not all your work will be used for pleasure and transporting goods. Warships such as frigates may just become your bread and butter, as larger fleets need many fast scouts. This is where your iron casting skills will shine, as you create cannons capable of pulverizing other ships. Their complex design will fill your hours, even after you prepare all the necessary materials. Their assembly is an art form on its own., but rest assured that once you’re done, your ships will put Napoleon’s fleet to shame!
[b]Longships (Drakkar)[/b]

Specialised tactics require specialised builds. Drakkars are perfect for shallow waters with their shallow-draft hulls. These powerful ships could carry warriors without relying on the wind to more currents to carry them to their destination. Intricate carvings decorate the sides and front of this boat and it creates fear in crews of vessels who dare to oppose the might and speed of this ship. Your craft will be a part of some of the most terrifying tactics on the seven seas. So grab your tools and begin preparing materials and creating true sea monsters, which will wreak havoc.
We’re still looking for new ship types and ideas for gameplay mechanics. Each ship will have its unique customisation options making the experience of building them more fun. Let us know what would you like to see in the game. We’re waiting for your ideas in our Discord.
