Canoe (Age of Empires III)

The Canoe is a basic water unit available from the Dock for Native Americans, and for others, after building a Trading Post on a Native American site in Age of Empires III. Canoes can attack, fish, and transport units, making them very practical but not necessarily as powerful compared to other naval ships, they have the same damage output and hitpoints as a Marathan catamaran.

Strategy
Because of its relatively low cost, Canoes are excellent in scouting and providing reconnaissance on nearby enemy territory. However, they are not designed to withstand many enemy attacks and engage in front lines so they should not be sent directly to a fortified enemy base, however if necessary, they would be better off fighting larger ships such as Galleons and Caravels in large numbers, their low cost rendering it an easy task.
