Norse Naval Units

Fishing Boat

Fishing Boats gather food from fish patches in the ocean. Like farms, fish patches are infinite, but only one fish boat can use one fish patch. Fishing is a cheaper source of food than farming, but harder to defend from enemies.

Dragon Ship

The Dragon Boat is the Norse siege type ship. It not only counters arrow ships but is also effective at taking out shoreline fortifications due to its long range and high attack. (Towers and Fortresses still do bonus damage to it, however - and the Dragon Boat cannot outrange defensive structures until it is upgraded into the Heavy Dragon Boat in the Mythic Age.)
