Yes

What if, instead of making naval ships actual military units, you make them Buildings instead?

Destroyers would allow a country to carry more misslies. The amount of missiles a country can have is currently limited by the number of acres they have. (It's like 1 per 200 acres or something). Destroyers would alter this ratio proportionate to how many destroyers you have per acre. Perhaps to a maximum of 1:100 (If ALL your acres are Destroyers).

Aircraft Carriers would, obviously, house your Jets. This will decrease the military upkeep of Jets, and reduce the amount of time that Jets-only, Planned-strike brigades stay on cooldown. Then, Military Bases can be altered to only reduce military upkeep costs on Troops, Tanks, and Spies, but not Jets.

This also helps support the logic of "seas and lakes being part of your land". Because when someone landgrabs you and takes some of your Destroyer or Aircraft Carriers...guess what? They just took some of your sea and lake territory!

Indeed

I 2nd that.

Well they've got a new UI project, now we just need 'em to announce their interest in a Navy project. Just like we don't need airports, or defined airspace we don't need seaports or defined waters.

vtol has been invented.

But not referenced in game because it isnt needed.

Exactly!!

Go Navy!

I'm back and I still say: Roll out Naval Forces in the game!![

Old post topping, but i'll let it slide, how about we have a think of how the mechanic could work.

It's Earth Empires, not Ocean Empires.

Therefore let's do this other idea suggested in the thread instead:

It isn't air Empires either. We have no percentage of air space, no airports but it works fine. We can do a Navy without complicating things with "coastline"

For clarification, the "Earth" in "Earth Empires" does not refer to the dirt on the earth, but rather the whole of the earth -- including the land, water, air, space, etc.

That being said, we have no plans to add a naval element to the game.

Thank you for the clarification. I hope you'll tuck the idea away but not trash it. It would bring a new element to the game that would cause some of the longtime power houses to learn something new 😉

Yep! I appreciate the suggestion to spice things up but a feature like that is very hard to build and balance. There's a ton of other maintenance work that is taking priority in order to help maintain and grow the game/community :)

Just gotta get my bonus for posting.
