Fuchuan

The Fuchuan is a special Chinese War Ship that is availabe starting in the Fortress Age. The Fuchuan is the strongest naval unit in all of Age of Empires 3, including the Ironclad. The Fuchuan has a build limit of 2, instead of the usual 3 for a Frigate, and is incredibly costful. It can be shipped from the home city in age 3, and costs 250 gold as well to make up for its extra power, or built from a dock. The Fuchuan does excellently against all Infantry, Cavalry since it outranges it, and the Cavalry cannot chase it into the water, and other Naval units. The Fuchuan is weak against units such as Outposts and Forts, and will quickly fall to ALL Land Cannon Units, such as Falconets, Mortars and Culverins.
