About
Take control of a boat and fight with your team for supremacy on the sea! Maneuver to avoid your enemies' auto-firing weapons while hitting them with as many of your own as possible. Use your gold to buy stronger weapons, better utility items, and bigger boats!
Details:
The game play is similar to dota with a few notable differences:
Players all start in the same boat and can spend the gold they collect to upgrade their ship from the list of available ships. (There are currently 20 boats available, each with a custom model and set of abilities)
Boats do not have a targetable main attack. Instead, players purchase weapons which automatically fire at random boats in sight and within the range listed in the weapon.
Each weapon has 3 basic tiers, and each tier can be purchased twice to combine to a "doubled" weapon of that tier.
When a player has all three tiers of a weapon doubled they can purchase an "ultimate" recipe for that weapon with a special effect.
Killing towers permanently increases the constant gold income for the team that kills the tower.
All players receive a bonus splash of gold from their empire every 4 minutes to keep game play interesting and even.
There are 4 main utility items, each with 4 tiers of power.
In order to win, either destroy both of the opposing empire's harbors, or destroy their ancient!
