Icebergs

These are found in the polar regions and occasionally in the tundra, but can of course also find their way to neighboring, warmer regions.
Icebergs are moving objects that drift slowly through the grids. They follow their predetermined route at the end of which they despawn.

On contact with ships, they cause damage (similar to ramming sandbanks). The damage depends on the speed. Icebergs cannot be blocked, they push even a Galli away.

In addition to the ice, which can be mined from the iceberg with metal pickaxes, rare resources such as nickel, poplar, leaves, tillite & trachyte can also be found on them!

Once you have harvested the iceberg, you can destroy it with a few shots from your cannons. This won't make new icebergs spawn any faster, but nobody will be annoyed about having stopped because of an empty iceberg.
