In the game's words
How to use it
The War Dhow is an East African mercenary warship. A powerful cannon ship, the War Dhow can use the Broadside attack ability, train units, and dish out heavy fire at a moderate rate. Its relatively short range is a shortcoming that its agility compensates for, allowing this sturdy vessel to maneuver in and out of fights at opportune moments.
History
The term “dhow” refers to many subclasses of vessels rigged with lateen sails used by the cultures inhabiting the coasts of the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Lateen rigged ships, with their ability to easily tack and maneuver, were perfect for plying the waterways of this region and adapting to the changing currents and winds. Although originally used primarily by merchants and explorers, dhows also found a niche as versatile and dangerous warships.
