Sea Battles

Light Fleet​

  1. Transport-Trade Ship — a universal ship for transporting cargo, people, and equipment. Can be used for supplying troops, communication with colonies, trade, etc.

  2. Gunboat — a class of small warships with artillery armament, designed for combat operations on rivers, lakes, and coastal sea areas, as well as port protection.

  3. Submarine — a special class of warships capable of sailing underwater, maneuvering in depth and course, and launching hidden attacks on convoys and large targets.

Medium Fleet​

  1. Corvette — a small warship using speed and maneuverability for guard and convoy service, as well as anti-submarine and anti-aircraft defense.

  2. Frigate — a class of medium-sized warships designed to protect formations, convoys, and coastal zones, as well as performing anti-submarine, anti-aircraft, and anti-ship defense tasks.

Heavy Fleet​

  1. Ironclad Frigate — a large artillery ship designed for intercepting vessels, supporting battleships, breaking enemy lines, convoying, and demonstrating power.

  2. Battleship — an armored sail-steam ship, the main striking force of the fleet, designed for participation in line battles, bombarding shores, blockading ports, and protecting sea communications.

  3. Floating Battery — a specialized warship with enhanced artillery power, used for shelling or defending land and sea positions, and sometimes as air defense.

General Battle Rules

Fleet Formation Before Battle​

Before the start of a sea battle, country leaders form the fleet's battle order in 3 rows (vertically). Ships are placed opposite each other (perpendicularly). Their placement significantly affects the battle outcome due to characteristics and efficiency.

Important:

  • ships from any row cannot attack ships from the 2nd or 3rd rows until all ships in the 1st row are destroyed.

Sea Battle Process​

After placing the ships, the battle begins. Ships open fire to reduce the «defense» parameter. For calculation, the «firepower» and «armor» parameters (from the characteristics table) are compared.

Damage Rules​

  • If firepower exceeds armor, the ship takes damage in the amount of N units.
  • If firepower is equal to or below armor, then:
    • with 50% chance the ship loses 1 unit of the «defense» parameter (simulation of «armor fatigue»),
    • otherwise, a ricochet occurs without damage.

Battle Duration​

  • The battle continues until:
    • the opponent's ships run out, or
    • one side decides to retreat.
  • In the "ship vs ship" format, the battle lasts until one loses all «defense».
    If all «defense» is lost simultaneously, both ships sink.

Number of Salvos per Turn​

  • Light Fleet: 3 shots per turn
    • 1st salvo: 100% damage
    • 2nd salvo: 75% damage
    • 3rd salvo: 50% damage
  • Medium Fleet: 2 shots per turn
    • 1st salvo: 100% damage
    • 2nd salvo: 50% damage
  • Heavy Fleet: 1 shot per turn
    • 100% damage

Victory and Defeat in Battle​

The winner is the side that:

  • destroyed all the opponent's ships, or
  • forced the opponent to retreat (capitulate).

After victory, the attacking side can:

  • start preparing troop landing, or
  • start a blockade.

If the defending side wins, then:

  • blockade is impossible,
  • troop landing is impossible.

Ship Condition After Battle​

  • Damaged ships receive manually applied damage to the build from the AP side.
  • Ships destroyed in the battle are not completely deleted but receive a significant amount of damage and can be registered again after reconstruction.

Transportation Process

For transporting/supplying troops or equipment to capture territory, a transport-trade ship is used.

Carrying Capacity: 6 units of HR (human resource).
