Within
the dark cold depths of the sea lies a world that could have risen
from the works of Jules Verne. Here beneath the silt and sand
of the sea floor resides the resting place of an ancient civilization
once the marvel of the world. Swallowed by the sea, it sank to
the depths to be remembered in legend.
Now,
groups of researchers have come together to build a fantastic
underwater city, made from the many components sunk on the ocean
floor. Scientific stations are created to support the efforts
of these brave heroes as they scour the bottom of the sea in ingenious
mini-submarines.
Their
quest? To search for lost treasures, scientific sensations, and
of course glory! But, most of all they seek the remains of the
lost civilization. Each searcher follows his own passions, seeking
his own goals and judging his own success. Can you aggressively
explore the depths of the ocean, while efficiently guiding the
construction and development of the underwater city?
You must balance both goals if you wish to win fame and glory
in Nautilus!
Players
try to recover as many underwater discoveries as possible, and
multiplying the value of these discoveries through the construction
and activation of the underwater modules that will form the base
for an underwater city. Additional victory points are earned by
uncovering the ruins of Atlantis and conserving your resources.
