Whaling is a Tier Two technology that can be researched after Fishing. It allows you to hunt whales in your boundaries, giving you 10 stars each. Whaling also makes Aquatism available to research.
In the ∑∫ỹriȱŋ tech tree, this technology is replaced by Water Magic. It no longer grants the ability to hunt whales, instead enchanting them into Navalons for 5 stars.
Trivia 
Edit
- Whales are only visible once Fishing is researched.
- Originally, each whale would require resources to hunt before receiving the 10 star reward. This cost increased with each subsequent settlement and could result in the cost of hunting whale to outweigh the 10 resource reward. This was removed in a later update, and hunting each whale now has no cost associated with it.
- Midjiwan, the game developer, officially does not recommend hunting actual whales.
- Whales can occasionally spawn on shallow water tiles, although this is quite rare.
