Yeah I know but If people we so concerned about not being able to access places without a navy then it could be an option. I just realized that in my application I had accidentally take Meowzer's base place and changed it to the smoky progg island which is yours, Hachi. So for the record I moving my base a third time...

They can always hire a navy. To be honest, when that discussion was going on, I was thinking about creating a ferry business.

That's true. But the disadvantage to that is that most navy's won't go along with it if they're delivering troops to another naval base. That other base could destroy the transport ships... How about instead of a separate base, just a plot of land on a beach somewhere that a base can own and build a harbor off of. They won't get the petal boost because their actual base wouldn't be in danger of a naval attack but the harbor could be destroyed... I mean it's an option...

They could also use planes.

If you just have to get across the ocean, you can pay a minor race I'm going to make or use air transports. The idea was to fight people on your continent unless you had a naval base, but there can be alternatives.
Lordraymond, why not just switch targets to someone you can easily access?

Well, we could allow building a port far from the main base, but it won't have much defense or troops. It can easily be destroy by a true naval group.
I think airplanes could help, but I don't know if you'll be able to move tanks or other heavy stuff.
EDIT: It looks like WD has an alternative with the minor race. Would you elaborate on it?

i suppose i will have to switch targets anyway, since i was planning to attack very early. itll take days just to get there, let alone build transports...

EDIT: It looks like WD has an alternative with the minor race. Would you elaborate on it? Simply enough, you'll take your stuff to the shore and pay the race some silver, gold, or platinum to transport your stuff across the water (Round trip). I can't decide whether it should have a very low trade metal price, or be expensive but allow Petals as payment.
