Okay...this is a big deal for me; I am VERY big on good water in games.

I am with you, SBM34! This water is fantastic!

A thought just occurred to me. What kind of production do water tiles generate in Elemental? I'm asking because I'm thinking if it would be feasible to make a waterborne city, like the pirate faction in the in the expansion of Alpha Centauri.

I doubt there will be an option for waterborne cities in the release version, but it would be neat to be able to add them with mods. Someone could probably make an Atlantean/seafering/amphibian/SCUBA civilization.

The water in Elemental videos has been catching my eye every time I see it. Would the developer who did it please step forward for a round of rocking applause!

In a word?  Water tiles don't produce anything.  Any more than any other tile produces anything.

 

Buildings produce things... though some buildings can only be built on certain tiles.

OK, if it's building based that would actually simplify what I had in mind.

Going to try and make a Shiver Me Timbers Civilization, with man made atolls instead of towns, maybe buildings shaped as derelict ships. I just had a Monkey Island flashback.
