Description

An invention that would have even astounded Heron: the paddle speedboat uses the impulse of a giant aeolipile as well as paddle wheels to drive into opposing ships with a huge amount of power and speed. The ship barely needs any crew.

• During sea battles, the Paddle Speedboats deploy to the carrier evasion position.
• 30 Paddle Speedboats fill a sea 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 30 minutes = 1,800 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 13^th Level].

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