"With the bonus of system functions, the attack power of the outpost has increased a lot."

The guards of Edward's town have long preached in the town that if you shoot in the outpost, his bullets will become more accurate and shoot farther!

This cannot be explained scientifically and is also included in the ranks of miracles.

Soon, Luo Tianjie came to the port of Edward's Town, which is now a building with a dock function attached to the Imperial Age system.

[Dock: Build and upgrade fishing boats and warships, and repair nearby ships.

You can only build piers along the coastline. These docks could be used for training fishing boats, canoes, galleons, and many of the more robust battleships.

If your fishing boat is attacked and you can't repel the enemy, you can hide your ship in the dock. Fishing boats parked at the dock cannot catch fish, but can give the dock the ability to fire at enemy units. So, not only are your boats safe, but they can also defend themselves.

Historical Background: In 2500 B.C., the world's first shipyard appeared in the ancient coastal city of Rossol, the ancient coastal city of the Harappan civilization, in the territory of present-day Gugalat Province in India.

Most of the ships built in these shipyards were sold to the ancient Middle Kingdom of Mesopotamia.

A dock is a place where passengers and cargo are embarkated and disembarked on a ship. Several docks came together to become shipyards.

Because the docks were so conducive to all kinds of trade, towns and cities usually developed along them. This trend is also seen in the Northeast region of the United States. 】

"With this dock with system functions attached, I can finally build all kinds of warships."

This pier gave Luo Tianjie even more help than those army buildings.

Because it makes up for Luo Tianjie's shortcomings of not having a naval unit!

[Fishing boats: You can catch fish from schools of fish, or collect coins from whales.]

Fishing boats are gatherers who can catch fish from schools of fish and collect coins from whales. If you want to build a fishing fleet, you'll have to send a lot of settlers to collect timber.

Fishing is the best source of food, but you have to protect your vulnerable fishing boats from attack.

Historical Background: Fishing was a sizable industry in northeastern North America, where the poor soil could not support much of the agricultural activity.

The Atlantic Ocean was rich in fish and shellfish, which led to a thriving fishing, whaling and shipbuilding industry.

The Gloucester Schooner is a long, fashionable brig that was first built in 1713 in Gloucester, Massachusetts. These vessels hunt for cod, flounder and mackerel in the Atlantic.

Fishermen sometimes pickle their catch directly at sea; If they are close to the shore, they will also bring these fresh catches to the shore and sell them. 】

In Luo Tianjie's field of vision, many fishermen in Edward Town have replaced with fishing boats with the function bonus of fishing boats, which will automatically attract fish in the ocean to get closer and improve fishing efficiency.

[Light sailing boat: A light sailing boat, good at exploring, fishing, or transporting.

Water map players usually start with a light sailboat. A galleon was a small boat that could be used for fishing, scouting the coastline, and transporting pioneers and soldiers.

However, galleons can easily be sunk by battleships (heavy ships, frigates, mortar ships) or defensive structures. Artillery and even any group of units that could get close to the galleon could sink it.

Mastering the waterways on the map means that the player can scout, fish, and transport troops at will. Learning to balance land and water development is one of the keys to success.

Historical Background: The carfowl were developed by the Portuguese in the 14th century and were originally used to explore the African coast.

The ship is equipped with two masts with square sails, and a jib in front of the boat. A schooner is a spacious, lightweight vessel with a shallow draft and the ability to sail safely in shallow waters.

Because of these two advantages, the light sailing ship was once popular among explorers until it was replaced by Spanish heavy warships two hundred years later.

The caraleboat weighs about 80 tons and is about 15 meters long. 】

In the dock, the first schooner has already begun to launch for the first time.

The light sailing boat is Luo Tianjie's pioneer in exploring the small island with treasure spots, as long as he confirms that there is no danger around the island, Luo Tianjie will directly transport the troops on the light sailing boat.

This is because other large ships take a long time to launch, even if they have the bonus of system building functions.

At the same time, large ships needed more sailors and even gunners, which the population base of Edward's small town simply could not afford.

Of course, this did not prevent Luo Tianjie from learning about the information of those warships in advance.

Heavy Ships: Slow, powerful ships that can not only resist the attacks of buildings, but also train units.

The Heavy Ship is an extremely sturdy vessel with high health and powerful attack power, and is adept at attacking other ships, as well as resisting artillery units and buildings on land.

The Heavy Ship is unique in that it resembles a floating barracks and bunker that allows you to train infantry or cavalry, but it cannot be moved while training combat units.

Therefore, heavy warships are also the best means of transport for transporting troops, after all, it is much more efficient to train troops directly from ships than to train troops from buildings.

In addition, troops can sail across the ocean in heavy warships, just as they can in galleons, frigates, light warships, and surveillance ships.

Historical Background: These warships with square mainsails and three masts were mainly used in Europe in the 15th to 18th centuries.

Heavy warships are well suited for transporting cargo as well as for combat. Spain's famous treasure hunting fleet was made up of heavy warships loaded with treasures plundered from the Americas.

The heavy warship carried a 30-barreled cannon and the decks on both sides were capable of firing. Modified from basic heavy ships, the Spanish heavy warships were lighter and easier to handle than the heavy warships of England and other European countries. But in the end, heavy warships were replaced by multifunctional fast sailing ships and giant frigates.

The heavy warship weighed about 500 tons and had a length of about 37 meters. 】

"This must have been an early Voyage warship, a bit like a pirate ship.

With such a name, I thought it was the kind of big guy with three gun decks, but it turned out to be only one gun deck......"

[Frigate: Heavy warship.]

The frigate is fast, has high health, and is good at attacking other ships, but it is greatly weakened when facing artillery units and buildings on land.

What makes the frigate special is the devastating attack power of the dense cannons on the side of the ship. This attack requires reloading each time it is fired. Frigates can be built in the New World or delivered from home cities. 】
