Strategy[]
The Sloop is a valuable 
Economic asset thanks to its ability to plunder 
Trade Routes and attack enemy Units without formally declaring 
War.
Not only can this easily sabotage enemy expansion or territorial control (although doing it too frequently will still incur 
Relationship penalties), it also grants 
Gold when defeating Naval Units, enabling reliable Gold generation and strong control over Coastal and Ocean regions.
Civilopedia entry[]
On the horizon, a sloop is almost immediately recognizable – a triangular mass of sails almost obscuring the thin, knifelike hull beneath. Defined mostly by its rigging – a single mast with a mainsail, and a sail or sails mounted in the fore, a sloop is built for speed. Its shallow draft meant that it could sail across treacherous waters where more heavily-built ships might founder, and the extensive sails meant that it was extremely fast. It may have lacked the heavy cargo holds or firepower of a larger ship, but the sloop was perfect for quick raids – and quick escapes.
