Strategy[]
This is the ultimate wooden ship. While not as fast as the Frigate, the Ship of the Line receives a significant bonus against its quicker rival, making it the top of the naval pecking order.
Civilopedia entry[]
Ships of the Line were the largest vessels deployed during the height of the European wooden navies, from the seventeenth until the mid-nineteenth century. In naval strategy, the most powerful ships of each respective navy would often form into lines and unleash a barrage upon their rivals. Ships of the Line, as they were known, usually carried 80 or more guns, but this extra-heavy armament cost the vessel dearly in maneuverability.
