====== Sailing ======

{{:abilities:sailing.png?nolink }} **Sailing** is the means of circumventing all of that [[underwater|water]] between shorelines. A commander with the Sailing trait has a boat (or can at least get one quickly) and can take himself and his troops from one coastal province to another in a single month.

Typical Sailing has a fixed range that varies with each map. It's typically **two provinces**; that means that, as long as the commander and his squad have enough [[Map Movement]] to exit their province and enter their destination, they ignore up to two sea provinces in their path. Dominions 6 does not have any systems for allowing sailing to take more than one turn; perhaps citrus isn't around to prevent scurvy.

{{:dom6:stats:size.png?nolink }} Ships have [[Size]] limits that must be taken into account. The biggest ships belong to [[Pretender God|Pretender Gods]] such as the ??Titan of Winds and Waves??, and to the ??Admiral??s and ??Royal Navigator??s of [[marignon-la|Late Marignon]]; even these have a Size cap of **999** points, however. Smaller or less-advanced ships typically have an individual size cap on certain units; for instance, the [[berytos-ea|Berytian]] sailors can only take Size-3-or-lower fellows on their vessels.

Last-but-not-least, previous Dominions games did not allow for Sailing commanders to [[retreat]] back across the sea, and this is probably the case for Dominions 6 as well.
