Strategic Analysis

The Heavy Demolition Ship is your **Imperial Age fleet-killer**. It ends naval stalemates decisively.

• One-Shot Threats: 140 damage nearly kills Galleons (165 HP). Fast Fire Ships (140 HP) die instantly. Devastating value.
• Cannon Galleon Counter: Heavy Demo Ships can dive Cannon Galleons. They're slow (1.1 speed) and can't escape.
• End Games: When you need to break through, Heavy Demo Ships end naval control. Force decisive engagements.

Warning: **Upgrade cost is steep**. 800 gold is significant. Only upgrade if you're committed to Demo Ship tactics.
