Editing Water

'''Water''' is typically considered as one of the basic [[terrain]]s, that heroes can travel on. To move through water covered terrain a hero must sail on a [[boat]], cast [[Water Walk]] spell or wear the [[Boots of Levitation]]. However, only hero on board a boat can end his movement on water while a levitating hero must end his movement on firm ground. It should be noted, that shroud on the water body between the land can still be present when starting the movement.

While sailing on boat the hero can:
* gather [[Flotsam]] and [[Sea Chest]]s, which both provide [[Wood]] and [[Gold]]
* rescue a [[Shipwreck Survivor]] who will always provide an [[artifacts|Artifact]] as a reward
* search [[Shipwreck]]s and [[Derelict Ship]]s to fight guardians for [[Gold]] and [[Artifacts]]
* Meet up with [[Mermaids]] for a [[Luck]] bonus
* Investigate [[Buoy]]s and get better [[Morale]]
* Visit [[Sirens]], lose part of his army and gain [[Experience]] in return.
* Go through one [[Whirlpool]] and end up in another.
* Read [[Ocean bottle]]s.

'''Note:''' Almost all objects that are normally placed on dry land can be placed on water and still function as normal. The exceptions are [[Town]]s, [[Subterranean Gate]]s and [[Monoliths]].

When a hero casts a spell to cross water, or walks across with the [[Boots of Levitation]], he must always have enough movement to reach land in the same turn. However, any potential shroud in the water body between the land can still be present when starting the movement.

Unlike [[Movement]] on land, the [[Speed]] of the creatures in the hero's army doesn't affect [[Movement]] on water.
