Fishing Ship
Civilian ship that gathers food from fish. Essential for water map economy.
Tactical Briefing
The Fishing Ship is your water economy workhorse. Fish provide faster food income than farms - about 0.43 food/second. On water maps, build multiple Docks and boom your fishing fleet. Protect them with Galleys - losing fish means losing the game on maps like Islands.

Strategic Analysis
The Fishing Ship is your **water economy foundation**. It enables faster food income than land farming.
- Fast Food Income: Fish gather at ~0.43 food/second vs farms at ~0.32. This advantage compounds over time.
- Multiple Docks: Build 2-3 Docks early on water maps. Boom fishing economy for Castle Age power spike.
- Deep Fish Priority: Deep fish last longer than shore fish. Prioritize them for sustained income.
Warning: **Fishing Ships are defenseless**. A single enemy Galley destroys your economy. Never leave fish unprotected.
