Galleon
In the game's words
How to use it
The Galleon is a strong ship, with a lot of hitpoints and a good attack. It is good against other ships, and is resistant to buildings and land-based artillery. The Galleon is available in a limited number after reaching the Commerce Age. The Galleon's special ability is that it operates like a floating Barracks, able to train infantry, or cavalry. The ship cannot move while training. This makes the Galleon an excellent troop transport because it allows you to train the units when you need them, rather than having to load it with units trained from buildings, though units can board a Galleon and be transported across water bodies just as in the Caravel, Frigate, Galley, and Monitor.
History
These square-rigged, three-masted warships were used primarily by European powers in the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries. Well-suited for carrying cargo and for war, galleons made up the bulk of the famous Spanish Treasure Fleet that carried plunder from the Americas back to Spain's waiting coffers. They carried around 30 cannon, fired from two decks in broadsides. Adaptations to the basic galleon design yielded heavy Spanish Galleons and the lighter, more maneuverable galleons of the British and other European nations. They were eventually replaced as multipurpose ships by the clipper, a fast cargo ship, and the massive Man-of-War. Approximate weight: 500 tons. Length: 120 feet.
