Figure out everything that's going on in the world

[Pandaqi]

The game map will have the following components:

• The base map => water and islands.
• Units => Player ships, sea monsters, "computer ships"
• Resources => Treasures, resources, cities/camps, landmarks

Base map

• There should be about 5-10 islands in a single game (of differing size)
• The rest is water.
• I can differentiate between deep/shallow water, beach/island, etc. (but that would just be visual niceties)

Units

• There can be multiple units on a single tile.
• Player ships occupy exactly one tile, regardless of ship or crew size.
• Sea monsters move around randomly (through the waters) and attack anything that comes within range. Every time a monster is killed, a new one spawns somewhere.
• Computer ships move between docks (trading routes??) or just randomly (??). You can trade with them. You can also destroy them and take their goods/crew - however, if you do so, they will always attack back at full strength.

Resources

• Treasures: these don't give you anything immediately. However, collect all treasures, and you win the game.
• Goods: you need these to do anything in the game
  • Gold: buy/trade goods from docks or other players
  • Wood/Iron/Cloth: for repairing and upgrading
  • Gun powder: to be able to use weapons
  • Crew: to do stuff on your boat (more crew means you can do more and do it faster)
  • Spices: special, exotic resource (??)
• Landmarks: exploring a landmark can give you something special, be it negative or positive.
• Camps: you can plunder a camp for men and resources, but it can also plunder you (if you don't have enough men exploring).

For "simple" games, I think it's best to heavily reduce the amount of resources.

Also, are fishes in the sea a good idea?
