In the game's words
How to use it
The Sailor is an outlaw unit available at the Tavern, Saloon, and Monastery from the Commerce Age onwards. His multi-barred weapon inflicts damage in a small area. The Sailor can also chop wood and repair damaged ships from a distance.
History
Naval power relied on sailors recruited through forced impressment or the lure of global adventure. Life at sea was a brutal cycle of malnutrition, relentless labor, and the constant threat of combat. This grueling isolation often led to heavy drinking in ports, where sailors quickly spent their wages on escapism. Consequently, sailors earned a dubious reputation as unruly and undisciplined elements of society.
