Treasure Ship

Overview
"Ships carrying massive amounts of Coin, but has no attack."

- In-game description.

Treasure Ships are special Galleons whose purpose is to carry massive cargos of Coin.

In the missions they are featured, they are completely immobile, and behave functionally more like buildings rather than as proper units. They have no attack and no speed, as they have been landed ashore and moored.

Once captured by the player, they provide a trickle of 3 Coin per second.

Campaign appearances
The first appearance of Treasure Ships is in the mission Spanish Treasure Fleet. Delgado ran his treasure fleet aground in Florida and Morgan Black needed to capture them. The main focus of the mission is for the player to capture six of the eight vessels.

A Treasure Ship will be captured once the Outpost or Fort protecting it is destroyed. There is very little Coin to be mined on the mission's map.

Another appearance is in the scenario The Lost Spanish Gold. Amelia Black must in turn capture some Treasure Ships to secure a steady income of Coin.

History
Although the Treasure Ships themselves lack a history file, the Spanish Treasure Fleet is indirectly mentioned in the Galleon's history files: "These square-rigged, three-masted warships were used primarily by European powers in the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries. Well-suited for carrying cargo and for war, galleons made up the bulk of the famous Spanish Treasure Fleet that carried plunder from the Americas back to Spain's waiting coffers. They carried around 30 cannon, fired from two decks in broadsides. Adaptations to the basic galleon design yielded heavy Spanish Galleons and the lighter, more maneuverable galleons of the British and other European nations. They were eventually replaced as multipurpose ships by the clipper, a fast cargo ship, and the massive Man-of-War. Approximate weight: 500 tons. Length: 120 feet."
