In the game's words
How to use it
The Battleship is a mercenary warship, one of the heaviest in the game. It is available at the Dock starting in the Commerce Age to any player who has allied with a European Royal House by building a Trading Post at one of their palaces. Some European civilizations can also access Battleships through Home City shipments. Sporting 18 guns, it has a high rate of fire.
History
During the 17th-19th centuries, naval tactics evolved towards a heavy reliance on broadside bombardments. This led warship construction to favor larger vessels with more cannons and greater integrity. The pinnacle of this development was the ship of the line, so named for the “line”, a broadside tactic. These early battleships ruled the seas in their heyday, but were gradually superseded by ironclad frigates during the later part of the 19th century.
