Section titled “Is this wiki official?”This site is structured as the public player knowledge base for Seas of Glory. It is meant to explain how systems work in player language, while the public marketing site remains the best place for playtest and launch information.
How is reference content updated?
Section titled “How is reference content updated?”Reference pages are refreshed from the current game data whenever the wiki is rebuilt, so ship, building, and resource values can stay aligned with the live game.
Where should I start as a new player?
Section titled “Where should I start as a new player?”Start with Getting Started, then read Port Growth and Fleet Building. Those pages explain the early priorities: HQ, Docks, Warehouse, Farmland, production, and the first useful ships.
What should I build first?
Section titled “What should I build first?”Build around bottlenecks rather than whatever is cheapest. HQ and Docks shape progression, Warehouse protects resources, Farmland protects population, and production buildings keep wood, cloth, and metal flowing.
What are Armadas?
Section titled “What are Armadas?”Armadas are player alliances. Members coordinate attacks, defend important ports, support each other with resources, use forums for planning, manage diplomacy, and combine conquest pressure. Read Armadas for the full guide.
What do diplomacy statuses do?
Section titled “What do diplomacy statuses do?”Diplomacy statuses describe how one Armada treats another in a specific world. Alliance enables the strongest cooperation, including Trade Routes between Armadas, once accepted. Ceasefire pauses fighting once accepted. Friendly and Unfriendly are map signals. War marks open hostility. See Social and Diplomacy for the full status table.
Can I play without joining an Armada?
Section titled “Can I play without joining an Armada?”Yes, but playing alone is harder once the map becomes contested. Solo players can still build, raid, spy, trade, and defend, but Armadas make resource support, defense coverage, diplomacy, and conquest much stronger.
How does combat work at a high level?
Section titled “How does combat work at a high level?”Combat starts with a goal. Spy with Spy Ships when the target is unknown, send combat ships when you need to win, bring capacity when the goal is loot, use Fire Ships against Port Defenses, and use Flagbearers for conquest pressure. See Combat.
What are Spy Ships for?
Section titled “What are Spy Ships for?”Spy Ships are for spying. A spy-only attack can reveal useful target information if the Spy Ships survive. Mixed into a normal attack, they fight as weak combat ships instead of acting as a clean spying mission. See Spying for when to spy and how to use reports.
What are Fire Ships for?
Section titled “What are Fire Ships for?”Fire Ships are siege ships. Their special value comes after a winning attack if they survive and can damage Port Defenses. They need combat support because their siege value does not matter if the attack loses.
How does conquest work?
Section titled “How does conquest work?”Conquest uses Flagbearers and influence. Winning with surviving Flagbearers can build conquest pressure, and repeated attacks may be needed before influence fades. A final successful conquest changes who owns the port. See Conquest.
What are territories?
Section titled “What are territories?”Territories are named map areas used for endgame Armada control. Holding ports inside a territory can give an Armada control of that area, and territory control feeds the world-level Armada race. See Territories.
Do territories give resource bonuses?
Section titled “Do territories give resource bonuses?”Territories are best understood as map control and Armada competition. The direct value comes from the ports you hold, the routes you protect, and the pressure your Armada can project from that area.
Why do resources stop increasing?
Section titled “Why do resources stop increasing?”Your Warehouse may be full. Production, trade, raids, voyages, and market activity all need storage space to matter. If resources are hitting the cap, upgrade Warehouse before pushing more production.
What are Trade Routes for?
Section titled “What are Trade Routes for?”Trade Routes move resources between ports over time. They are strongest when allies or Armada members use them to solve a real bottleneck, such as supporting a Docks upgrade, rebuilding defenses, or preparing a conquest staging port.
What should I search for in the wiki?
Section titled “What should I search for in the wiki?”Use the header search for ship names, building names, resources, or systems. Good searches include Spy Ship, Fire Ship, Docks, Warehouse, Armadas, Trade Routes, and Conquest.
