Strategic Analysis
The Longboat is your **naval superiority unit**. It wins water fights through raw damage output.
- Multi-Arrow Volleys: Fires multiple arrows per attack. Higher effective DPS than Galleys.
- Ship Bonus: +9 bonus damage vs ships. Combined with multi-arrow, devastates enemy fleets.
- Mass Production: Vikings should build many Docks and mass Longboats. Overwhelm with numbers and DPS.
Warning: **Fire Ships counter you**. Despite high DPS, Fire Ships close and deal devastating fire damage. Mix with your own ships or kite carefully.
