Ships are built at the Shipyard and help to blockade other harbors or defend your towns from overseas assault, except for Cargo Ships, which are built in Trading Ports and used for transport rather than combat.

Cargo Ship

Trade ships are the most important support for your island empire. No matter whether they have to transport goods, units or news: your seamen will make sure that everything arrives at its destination quickly and safely.

Every cargo ship costs more than your previous one. Cargo ships cannot be destroyed. Cargo ships are purchased at a Trading Port.

Trade ships are available for carriage in any of your own towns without the need for transport of the ship.
