Seafaring missing?

from Elemental Forums

Hi,

Since the newest update I've been playing a pretty good game, and I suddenly noticed that there is no longer an option to research seafaring.  I tried restarting as a an empire player, restarting as a kingdom player again... Seafaring, which I recall was always one of the initial research options though I usually waited until mid-game to take it, is just not there.

Did I miss something in the latest update?  What's up with this?

Boats were nuked until SD could put some love into 'em.

To be honest, the spell that allows you to raise land from water is a far simpler and less time consuming way to move to a distant landmass.  I had such heartburn trying to build a harbor in the right place, get troops loaded on a boat and then unload them in an acceptable tile, that I never used this "feature" a second time.

Yes, and raise land, lower land spell works way better....

Who would bother building a boat when you can terraform seas out of existence...

My favorite part of Elemental was exploring new islands on my ships. :'(

Just wait for the Seafarers of Elemental to come out.
