Sailing

Since most of the world of Dawntide is broken up into a large number of small islands, sailing is a fundamental part of every race's life in some way. Goods are transported by cargo ships, cities are bombarded and so forth. Maintaining naval superiority is going to play a key part in securing and holding territory for player factions.

Ships must be constructed at a proper facility and requires large amounts of raw materials such as wood and metal, and depending on the hull type, anywhere from a few to a vast amount of specialized machinery and contraptions. With the very broad material requirements for constructing a ship, it is likely that ship construction of any but the smallest hulls will be comprehensive efforts.
