How to make watertile into landtile!

This guide will try to explain how to make watertile into landtile. I will also include some things that could be good to know. If you have any thoughts or something that is wrong/should be added just drop me a line. The pictures is taken from 4thElement and NavalAcademy. I am also using Leijkars simple.set as you can see on the pictures. First i will show the four watertiles that exist.

  We have 4 tiles: water-coast, water, water-wreck and water-mountain.


If we start with the tiles that is possibly to make into land. We have water-coast, water and water-wreck. Water-coast will be turned into land if you build a road on it. The water-wreck: here we have to take the wreck with shark to make the tile into a watertile.


What is important here: 1) is that you need one square that is a cross of road. 2) The square that has the roadcross is the one that will be turned into land. 3) Next you build a road next to that square, the important here is that the road will be west/east or north/south to the roadcross. 4) If you build the road so it comes west/east then there can't be a road in north/south from the roadcross.

If you understand what i wrote above, then this is very easy to follow. Some good things that you can do with land. For example you want to make a cargo not be able to walk any further against you. Then it could be good to build land efficient and cheap.


  What you do in the picture above. Is that you kill road to left, then build a road. Go one step to the right and the cycle is complete. In this way you can fast build landtiles connected to each other. Remember this can only be done in west/east direction. I haven't found a very efficient way to do this in north/south.
 


This picture did i take to show you that it doesn't matter how the tiles are that is next to the square you want to turn into land. The only thing that matters is if there is a road or not.
