But ships alone are not enough to create a port, you must have a built up town to support it. There are no hard set standards for what a town must look like to have a port but a lone small wooden cabin or a few dirt huts wouldn’t be enough to support a port. Additionally a port must always have the minimum amount of ships in it. This means if you have only built the minimum amount of ships for your port you can’t take them out cruising with movecraft.

What are ports ?

Ports are your gateway to adventure and trade, connecting towns across continents. With just a small fee and a short wait, you can set sail to any port in the world.

No matter the distance, you can always reach your destination even if it's beyond your port's range. The port system will calculate the fastest route which may include stopping at some other ports along the way. This means you can travel anywhere without the hassle of planning multiple stops yourself.

Port taxes

Town mayors have the ability to set an additional tax on their port. By default, these taxes are set to their maximum value, but town mayors can adjust them as wanted via the port menu. Whenever a player travels to a port which has taxes, whether is the destination or just part of their journey, the town bank will collect a free.
