Like its naighbour Dapra, Dalen is a volcanic world, with plenty of active volcanoes piercing the ocean surface. These are dangerous even for Air Fighters to travel over, so all the units in the game avoid them. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

All of the boats and ships can travel over Deep Water, as well as the Air Fighters. It is here that most of the large-scale naval battles take place, since the bigger ships can't navigate shallower water. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

Shallows are the areas of the ocean generally near the coasts. Their waters are calm enough to allow hoverbugs to float over them, but they are not deep enough to allow Cruisers or Battleships to pass. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

Sandbanks clog up many of the rivers and coastal areas around the islands. Air Fighters and Hoverbugs can travel over Sandbanks, but of the sea units, only Mining Boats can navigate these shallow areas, and even those at a careful pace. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

Open Ground forms most of the larger islands, and this is where Ports are built. Ports are generally next to Deep Water in order that the port can build and repair the largest ships. Hoverbugs and Air Fighters can move over this terrain. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

As you'd expect for a campaign called "Waterworld", most of the maps are made up of ocean. But there are small areas of land that poke up above the ocean surface, and there is a variety of terrain there. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

Gun Platforms are static land-based units, useful for defending ports. They're static units, but they have a longer firing range than any other unit in the game, so can keep enemy ships away from your Ports. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

Battleships are the largest ships afloat. They have more power and a longer range than cruisers, and are the best units to have in a sea battle. They are also good for offshore bombardment. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

Cruisers are medium-sized combat ships with a good attack range. They're useful to add extra power to naval battles, and to bombard ports and other land units from off shore. They're slightly slower than destroyers. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

Destroyers are the smallest sea combat units. They have little firepower and a short range, and are lightly armoured. They can navigate both deep and shallow water, although they can't navigate too close to the sandbanks. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
