In my view, it makes sense for the majority of the dynasty to take place in the bay, with the ocean only being at the very edge. If there was a good mechanic that needed the ocean then I might change my mind, but for the time being I’m not seeing much reason to expand in that direction.

Two things to think about:
* Expanding the grid is going to start getting unwieldy
* If we really want an expanded Ocean (deep-sea fishing) we could have a second grid that represents the ocean map. Traveling from one grid to another wouldn’t be too difficult in that case

I’d be more for a second level for depth if we decide on that myself

Ooo…submarines or deep-see submersibles!

Withdrawn. Keeping it focused, sounds good; I’m all for a deep dive of Blackwater Bay.
