Description
The Longboat is the top level ship for the non-Viking factions in Viking Invasion. They are a slight improvement over their lower tech predecessors, but are still weak compared to the Viking boats. They can be used to set up trade routes, move troops, and defend coastlines, but do not expect them to successfully beat a Viking fleet without numerical superiority.
Like all non-Viking ships, Longboats are unable to enter the Nordsaer sea region.
