Strategic Analysis

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.
Critical Point
**Fire Ships counter you**. Despite high DPS, Fire Ships close and deal devastating fire damage. Mix with your own ships or kite carefully.
Understanding The Stats
The Longboat is a high-DPS warship that dominates ship-to-ship combat.
Multi-Arrow Attack
Fires multiple arrows per volley. Shreds ships faster than any Galley-line.
