Frigate
In the game's words
How to use it
The Frigate is a fast ship, with a lot of hitpoints and a high attack. It is very powerful against other ships, but vulnerable to buildings and land-based artillery. The Frigate is available in a limited number after reaching the Industrial Age. Frigates have a special Broadside attack that fires all of their cannon in a deadly barrage. This attack must recharge before being used again. Frigates can be constructed in the New World or sent from the Home City.
History
Frigates changed a lot over time, but began as lean, fast, well-armed ships used for scouting, raiding trade routes, and filling in the line of battle when the larger battleships were scarce. Early frigates carried messages and important passengers. Later, their single deck of 20 to 30 cannon was doubled to two decks of 40 to 60 cannon. British frigate captains still using the swift, lighter frigates were ordered not to engage the heavier, deadly American frigates unless the odds were two-to-one in the British captain's favor. Approximate weight: 950 tons. Length: 150 feet.
