Description

This ship contains a ballista, which was originally meant for firing grappling hooks. However, the ballista is also very valuable as a precise long-range combat weapon, as it hits the enemy under the waterline, even though it does not cause a large amount of damage.

• During sea battle, the Ballista Ships deploy to the long-range battle line.
• <number> Ballista Ships fill a battlefield space.

Construction times

$Construction \ time \ = \left \lceil Base \ time \times 0.95 ^ {n - n_0} \right \rceil$

where:

• Construction time: The calculated time (in seconds) needed to construct the specific ship on the n^th Shipyard's level.
• Base time: The time (in senonds) needed to construct the specific ship on the Shipyard's first level that the specific ship can be constructed [for this ship 50 minutes = 3000 seconds].
• n: The n^th Shipyard's level.
• n₀: The Shipyard's first level where the specific ship can be constructed [for this ship is the 3^rd Level].

• 1 - 10
• 11 - 20
• 21 - 30
• 31 - 38
