way of creating armies.

Strict shallow water rules: large ships cannot enter coastal cities without deepwater ports. Large ships (deep draft vessels) cannot travel through shallow coastal waters, but small ships (shallow draft vessels) can easily navigate coastal waters.
- Relaxed shallow water rules: large ships can enter any coastal city but are slowed when traveling through shallow water. Small ships travel more quickly through shallow water but are more vulnerable on the high seas.
