Getting Started

You can start playing right away by clicking on the Battles link. Once on that page, you can click + New Battle to open a new game, or you can click JOIN on the right of the Battles section. Note that the JOIN link will only be visible if someone else has opened a game and is waiting for another player to join.

Once you have created a new battle, or joined an open battle, you will be asked to place your ships. You can drag and drop the ships onto the board. If you see a red border around a ship, it means you cannot place the ship at that location. This depends on the game mode you are playing, for example, in Traditional game modes, you must leave a gap between your ships. The Start Battle button will appear when all your ships have been placed in valid locations!

The next screen you see will be the play screen, or game screen. On the left is your Attack Board. When the Attack Board border is green it is your turn and you can attack by clicking on it. When you hit an enemy ship, you will see an explosion on that square. If you miss, you will see a splash. You win when you have destroyed all 5 of the enemy ships.

The board on the right is the Status Board. It displays the status of your own ships. If all of your ships are completely hit, you will lose the battle.

When you win a battle, your Fleet will attack their Headquarters and their Fleet. The winner is determined by the following sequence...

• The Attacker's total attack power is calculated (A)
• The Defender's total defence power is calculated (D) (HQ Defence + Fleet Defence)
• The Attacker generates a random value up to a maximum of A
• The Defender generates a random value up to a maximum of D
• The highest value determines the winner.
• If the Defender wins, the Attacker may lose a ship.
• If the Attacker wins, a portion of the Defender's credits will be stolen!
• If it is a draw, the Defender wins.

Headquarters

Your Headquarters allows you to construct a variety of buildings which give you different bonuses. The Harbour, for example, gives you +3 credits every hour. Other buildings allow you to build more ships in the Fleet section, let you Spy with Recon Points, increase your defenses, stash your credits in a secure vault and so on!

Fleet

You will need spare Supplies to build more ships for your fleet. A good balance of Attack and Defense is important! The higher your attack value, the better chance you will have to break through an enemy defense. Similarly, you will want a high defense value to counter an enemy attack. If they break through your defenses you may lose some credits!

Income

Income is awarded every hour. Make sure you log in at least once every 12 hours to maximize your income! You will still receive income while you are logged out, but it will be capped after 12 hours.

This game is broken, fix it!

If you are seeing many problems with the website, you may be using an old or incompatible browser! I do work hard to ensure that the game works in the leading modern browsers, so if you are experiencing many bugs, please consider using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 7+ or FireFox!

I have a question not answered here!
