Fluyt
In the game's words
How to use it
The Fluyt is a unique Dutch ship with a lot of hitpoints and a good attack. It is better against other ships than the Galleon, but not as powerful as a Frigate. The Fluyt is available in limited numbers after reaching the Commerce Age. The Fluyt's special ability is that it operates like a floating Barracks and can train infantry, or cavalry. The ship cannot move while training. Though they were mostly trade vessels historically, the Fluyt makes an excellent troop transport. This allows you to train the units when you need them, rather than having to load the Fluyt with units trained from buildings. Trained units, though, can board a Fluyt and be transported across bodies of water, just as in the Caravel, Frigate, Galleon, Galley, and Monitor.
History
The Fluyt is a ship of Dutch design dating from the seventeenth century. They have a shallow draft and a large cargo hold, and can be handled by a very small crew. The Dutch imported relatively cheap wood and tried to mass produce as many parts of the ship as possible. Other nations commissioned their own Fluyts, and the Dutch innovations in ship construction paid off not only in cargo but in the hulls they sold to other countries. Approximate weight: 300 tons. Length: 105 feet.
