Author Topic:   Monoliths at Sea

I was wondering is there anything like monoliths in, on, or under the water? If there is I haven't found one yet unless I don't know what I am looking at. I know about the landmarks. Is there anything else hiding out there?

No, there are no monoliths at sea. You could edit alhpa.txt, so you'll be able to _build_ monoliths at sea.....

There are monoliths -under- the sea, but you have to lower sea levels or raise adjacent terrain to use them, i.e., they have to be above ground to use.

Not quite true. If land containing a monolith sinks and becomes an ocean shelf, you can use it to upgrade sea units. I've had games in which the Ruins were fully submerged.

Yeah, I've used submerged monoliths too.

Do submerged monoliths look any different?

No, just the monolith sticking out of water. It still give 2-2-2 in resources.
However, it is quite useful to use it to upgrade cruisers on their way to the operating theatre.

Cool. I stand corrected.
