Next to these settings, awe-inspiring battleships are the iron heart of “AQUA – Naval Warfare”. Powered by ultra pressured steam, these steel giants are deadly naval weapons with highly specialized tactical features. The player will take control of an elite combat ship to fulfil his tasks. By unlocking new ship-types, weapons and upgrades, the player will have the opportunity to enhance his ship and gear up for the next fight.

A selection of units from the battle fleets of “AQUA – Naval Warfare”:

• Gothean Vanquisher: The Vanquisher class battleship is one of the most lethal units of the imperial Gothean fleet. Its powerful Steamhammer cannon with its revolutionary turbine-reloader mechanism can deal terminal damage within a short amount of time. The only weakness of this mighty vessel is its undefended rear section, outside of the firing arc of its main weapon.
• Emperean Ironwall: The Ironwalls are the pride and backbone of every battle fleet. Not only do they bring their all-obliterating, heavy cannon broadsides to the battlefield, they are also the only ships large enough to provide the deck-space, luxury and kitchen equipment to support the needs and tastes of any respectable fleet-admiral.
• Gothean Ironwall: The Gothean Ironwall is an invincible adversary, provided you take on the challenge and face it from its sides. Virtually defenceless at the front and rear, slow and hardly more manoeuvrable than an island, you are however very unlikely to meet this ship without the support of large enemy squadrons detached to protect it.
• Gothean Guard Invader: The Gothean Guard Invader is a heavy cruiser from the Infamous squadron of Commodore Vanderbolt. This ship is equipped with a revolutionary Medusa-shield device, which can repel enemy projectiles and hurl them back at the unit which fired them. Luckily, to be able to fire its own weapons, it needs to drop the shield for a short timeframe.
• Emperean Angelcraft: The Emperean Glacialis Base “Angelcraft” prototype is the result of a secret scientific project utilizing electrical power harnessed directly from the storm clouds in the atmosphere. The resulting aircraft is quick, highly manoeuvrable and equipped with a devastating lightning attack that can destroy smaller ships with one burst.
• Gothean Detonator: The Gothean Detonator is a Chariot-class escort vessel converted to a floating bomb. There is hardly anything more to say about it – avoid the trigger at its front and you will live…
• Emperean Cruiser: The Emperean Cruiser is one of the ships you will command in the game. This vessel is a real all-rounder – it combines good speed and manoeuvrability with a wide choice of weapons and no serious weaknesses – rapid-firing gatlings, volley shotguns and armor-piercing cannons can all be equipped to this ship. Torpedoes and mines round up the offensive selection. In the hands of a skilled and resolute commander, the cruiser can take up most of the challenges the enemy can offer…
