Beaches 1.30

from Elemental Forums

I assume beaches allow ships.  Do I have to have buildings right next to beaches to build there?  Does having something diagonally connected to a beach square count?  Is the beach thing just 4 small tiles/1 "big" tile?

 

Thanks

You used to be able to build harbors and ships from beaches and board/exit ships there too.  This feature has been dropped in v1.3.

So then there is no way across water except terraforming?  Does this mean that you can eventually get to any spot on the map by walking?

 

Thanks.

I think there will still be islands you can not walk to, these may have resources on them, but given the city qty limit this isn't any big advantage now anyway.   And yes, you could 'raise land' across the open water and walk to the islands.  In previous versions I usually build a few ships to scout for islands with resources and they did exist so I assume they still do.  Alternately if the edge of the island was in your zone of control you could teleport there.
