Greetings Gentlemen
Today's Suggestion is about Territorial Waters
The way i imagine it is that every water way that leads toward a piece of territory you own would count as your territorial waters, and any foreign unit that enters those paths would declare war, except for stealth units such as submarines, and high level naval officer
In this New Zealand example every water way that is marked in Red would count as your territorial waters.
----------------------
Currently, in order to protect your port cities you need to park a ship right inside a port to make sure that disembarking enemy units will engage the ship and die, but this would end up being costly if you have multiple entrances to your land, and it is especially a problem for island nations in my opinion; this is not a problem if you declare war on potential countries that you suspect would decide to invade you, however there's a limit to how many nations you can declare war onto before the negative de-buffs of war starts crippling your economy and makes the control of cities impossible due to rogue state spawning continuously.
This is where my suggestion comes in, as the benefits of such a new mechanic would make the defense of your coastal cities easier in some cases, since sometimes two or more port cities share 1 coastal water intersection (where the wave icon is located), thus it would give the ability to protect multiple entrances to your homeland using less ships, thus allowing you to save on critical resources that could be used elsewhere.
Finally, an other benefit of such a mechanic is that since you can park your ships farther from your ports, then this would allow your ships to detect incoming units from a farther distance.
Thank you for reading this post through, make sure to let me know what you think.
