—Chronicles description
The Transport Ship is an Archaic Ageship in Chronicles that can be trained at the Port. The Transport Ship can transport land units across bodies of water. It has moderate hit points and decent pierce armor, but cannot attack. If sunk, all units aboard are lost, so they should be protected from enemy units and coastal defenses. It is analogous to the Transport Ship in Age of Empires II, with the only difference being the Transport Ship in Chronicles gains carry capacity on Age-ups, while the Transport Ship in Age of Empires II has its maximum garrison space since the start.
This unit is unaffected by the Sicilian team bonus.
Garrisoned archers cannot fire out of Transport Ships.
If a Transport Ship loaded with a Priestess carrying a Relic is sunk, the Relic will automatically teleport back to the Priestess's position before it garrisoned into the Transport Ship.
