Changes: Turtle Ship

Revision as of 06:11, 24 October 2012

Template:AoEIIUnits The Turtle Ship and its upgraded version the Elite Turtle Ship is a unique Korean naval unit that is featured in the Age of Empires II: The Conquerors expansion.

Overview

The Turtle Ship is a Korean slow heavily armoured battleship that is most effective for destroying enemy warships at a close range. The Turtle Ship is made available to be built at a Dock after the player has built at least one Castle. The Turtle Ship is one of the two unique units of the Korean civilization.

Tactics

The Turtle Ship is one of the major Korean advantages. A single Turtle Ship can wipe out a small fleet of enemy vessels. When faced with enemy turtle ships, the wisest idea is to build Heavy Demolition Ships and use them to attack the Turtle Ships, as they are only good versus ships meant to survive.

A group of five Turtle Ships can take out a good portion of a hostile navy, and can also be used as very devastating cover during the first stage of a land attack. The Turtle Ship's weakness include its short range and slow speed, allowing other ships to utilize hit-and-run tactics on it.

The Turtle Ship is also weak against siege units such as onagers and mangonels and should avoid them at all costs.
