How Vertical Building Works in Corsair Cove

Corsair Cove's defining twist is that you build up cliff faces rather than across open land — housing, taverns, cannon foundries, and storage all get placed directly on the rock and connected with rope walkways.

Because production chains have to function across different height levels, planning routes between your buildings early matters more than it would in a flat-land city builder — a disorganized vertical colony gets tangled fast.

Combat and random island events lean on tabletop-style card pulls and dice rolls rather than direct control, so some encounters carry real variance — treat early losses as short, low-stakes setbacks rather than reasons to over-plan every trip.
