The ships (Construction, equipment and properties)

General information about ships (Land & Lords version 4.0, only on Server 1)

Ships are used to explore the map and to transport armies and spies to other islands, or attack other ships. Like land unit are organized in armies, ships are organized in fleets. Fleets can be moved on the map similar to armies or spies, by right clicking on them on the map or by entering individual moves in the fields view. Addionally, a target field can be entered fot fleets. However, the target field has to be visible to you. Once you researched "map making", also fields in the "fog of war" can by selected as target fields. Only sea fields or harbor fields (your own or your allies) can be selected. This can be used to facilitate shipment of reinforcements or to summon your fleets on a selected field. However, you cannot use it to automatically explore unknown fields on the map. All fleets have a viewing range of 3 fields. The maximum speed of a fleet on the map is 6 fields per tick and is limited by the slowest ship of the fleet.
