Fleet of Bamot

The Fleet of Bamot is a work in progress.

It is planned to contain six tiers of vehicles, corresponding to the game's six technology tiers.

Each tier of buildings contains one of the following:
* BDF V: A cheap bunker building, meant to occupy half a town's budget or a quarter of that of a city.
* BDF T: A medium tower building, affordable within a town's defence budget or half of that of a city.
* BDF C: A large castle building, suitable for a large city without going over budget.

Each tier of landships contains one of the following:
* BLS T: A versatile and durable tracked landship, intended as a mobile fortress.
* BLS W: A specialized walker landship, usually meant for close-range work.

Each tier of airships contains a subset of the following:
* BAS B: A high-altitude bomber airship.
* BAS C: A pure carrier airship bearing a variety of planes.
* BAS A: A close-range assault ship with boarding crew.
* BAS S: A long-range fire support ship.
* BAS L: A ship of the line, affordable and flexible.
* BAS F: A flagship, imposing and resilient.
* BAS P: A patrol boat, cheap.

This fleet follows a consistent design philosophy. There is no min-maxing here. It is meant to be versatile, affordable, easy to use and fun to fight against. It utilizes a variety of weapons and has a ship for any altitude or engagement range. Most ships are solidly built on or around a keel, with sufficient damage control capacity to stay in the fight even under heavy fire or with half the ship missing. However, few if any of them have rear-facing weapons, making them vulnerable if immobilized or outflanked. From tier three onwards, most ships will carry external rockets or torpedoes and begin battle by firing a long-range volley of fireworks, which tends to be ineffective but fun to watch. Most gunships have a full suite of accuracy boosters. All vehicles are alloted only relatively small amounts of resources and they tend to run dry when fights drag on for too long.

Aesthetically the Fleet of Bamot aims to please through simplicity of form and color, going easy on decorations to speed up redesigns. The ships are utilitarian, mostly streamlined and compact, but not outright brutalist.

Known issues:
* Most of the vehicles are battle-tested, though some are admittedly tier filler.
* Due to landships breaking the research sequence somehow, they are temporarily reduced to only a single vehicle.
* Airships and buildings for tiers four through six are missing at present.
* Many vehicles, especially landships, tend to grow disproportionately bigger and more expensive as the tiers progress.
