Transport Ship
Unarmed ship that carries land units across water. Essential for island map invasions.
Tactical Briefing
The Transport Ship carries up to 5 land units (10 for some civs with bonuses). On island maps, control the sea with warships first, then land troops with Transports. Losing a loaded Transport is devastating - protect them at all costs. Scout landing zones before committing.

Strategic Analysis
The Transport Ship is your **island invasion enabler**. It projects land power across water.
- Water Control First: Never land without naval superiority. Losing loaded Transports loses games.
- Scout Landings: Send an empty Transport first to check if the coast is defended. Then land main force.
- Multiple Landings: Split your force across 2-3 landing spots. Harder for enemy to defend all.
Warning: **Completely unarmed**. A single Galley destroys your Transport. Always escort with war ships.
