Game Settings

These options apply only to newly created local or multiplayer matches. Choose both a win condition and a map before starting.

Step 1: Choose a Win Condition This decides how players actually win the match.

Carrier Hunt Destroy all enemy aircraft carriers to win. Capture the Flag Steal the enemy flag and carry it back to your shipyard with a boat. King of the Hill Control the marked central island with a harbor and earn 1 Hill Point at the start of your turn. First to 5 wins. Smear the Engineer Grab the neutral center flag with a ship and earn 1 point at the start of each turn while carrying it. First to 5 wins. Pirate Killer A roaming pirate ship appears each turn on open water. Destroy pirate ships to earn points. First to 10 wins. Zombie Fleet Choose which players start infected. Zombies convert destroyed enemy units and win by infecting the last enemy ship.

Zombie Players Choose which seats begin infected. Everyone else shares the survivor side.

Step 2: Choose a Map This decides the battlefield layout and what the board looks like.

Island Chain Shuffle island locations while keeping the same island values. This is the default mode.

Scarce islands Fewer islands overall, with one I3 on each half. Normal islands The default random setup, balanced side-to-side. Dense islands Very crowded waters, with enough islands to make navigation tight while keeping both halves fair.

Arctic Passage Frozen white floes and drifting icebergs. Use density to decide how packed the ice field is.

Scarce ice fields Fewer frozen tiles overall, with more open sea lanes. Normal ice fields The default Arctic setup, balanced side-to-side. Dense ice fields Tighter routes with more frozen obstacles and crowded waters.

The Strait Two small harbors sit on opposite sides, with most of the map turned into land and a single narrow sea lane connecting them. World Map Draft A continent-style island layout inspired by a Risk-like world board. Open Ocean Combat No normal islands, shipyards still present, and pure sea combat. Custom board Place each island yourself before the match starts.

Weather Clear keeps normal visibility. Foggy hides enemy units and harbors unless an allied piece is adjacent.

Clear Normal visibility across the whole map. Foggy Enemy units and harbors stay hidden until an allied piece gets adjacent.

Step 3: Player Count Phase 1 adds local hot-seat support for up to four players.

2 Players Standard two-fleet match. 3 Players Add a green fleet at the top-center shipyard. 4 Players Add green and red fleets at the top and bottom shipyards.

Step 4: Seat Setup Choose which seats stay on this device, wait for remote players, or run as CPUs.

Player 1 Seat Black fleet stays on this device. Adjust its starting materials if you want a handicap or boost.

Player 2 Seat Choose how the Grey fleet is controlled in online rooms.

Step 5: Team Setup For 3- and 4-player local games, choose whether fleets stand alone or share a side.

Free For All Every fleet fights for itself. Players 1 & 2 vs 3 Black and Grey share a win against Green. Players 1 & 3 vs 2 Black and Green team up against Grey. Players 2 & 3 vs 1 Grey and Green team up against Black. Players 1 & 2 vs 3 & 4 Classic two-side fleet battle. Players 1 & 3 vs 2 & 4 Diagonal alliance across the board. Players 1 & 4 vs 2 & 3 Cross-map alliance with flanking pressure. Players 2, 3 & 4 vs 1 Three fleets try to bring down Black. Players 1, 3 & 4 vs 2 Grey stands alone against the rest. Players 1, 2 & 4 vs 3 Green must survive a three-fleet siege. Players 1, 2 & 3 vs 4 Red stands alone at the southern shipyard.

Step 6: CPU Difficulty Used for any seat that is set to CPU.

Easy Mostly random legal choices with occasional obvious attacks and captures. Medium Heuristic-driven choices with some controlled randomness. Hard Stronger heuristic play with tighter win-condition and economy priorities.
