A naval strategy game where you must balance between building your economy and conquering your foes!
There is no .jar yet, so to run the game, use the following *cmd* command in the src2 directory:
java -classpath .;database\derby.jar;database\derbyclient.jar; Main
For optimal code viewing, make sure your tabs are set to 4 spaces.
You are in charge of your country's harbors (in blue). Over time, your harbors will generate money. This rate can be increased by purchasing fisher and barge ships for that harbor. Purchase cruisers and destroyers for a harbor, and then left-click that harbor and another harbor to send a fleet. Fleets can conquer enemy harbors and reinforce your own harbors. Be careful when reinforcing your own harbors! Harbors have a cap to how many ships they can hold; any excess ships will be destroyed.
Note that barges generate twice as much money over time than fishers. These are efficient in terms of your harbor's capacities, but they cost much more!
The same idea goes for destroyers vs. cruisers.
