Game Info
A Great person, specialized in Naval combat.
- Abilities:
- May Heal instantly all ships within 1 tile
- 15% Combat bonus to all Ships within 2 tiles
Similarly to the Great General, the Great Admiral is earned through accumulation of Experience points by your naval vessels in combat. Each successive Admiral requires more points.
Strategy
The Great Admiral is used similarly to the Great General - as a combat booster, but in Sea warfare. What's different is its ability to instantly repair every naval and embarked unit in the same hex, as well as in adjacent hexes. This may be used to a crushing effect by a skilled player, or it may be wasted by an unskilled one! Note that the Admiral is consumed when using this ability.
Historical Info
"Great Admirals" provide the leadership necessary to guide powerful navies to victory on the open sea. They plan, implement, and execute the complex maneuvers necessary to maintain naval superiority, providing the coastal security that every civilization needs.
