Overview[]
The Transport Ship is an original naval unit from The Conquerors and is produced in the Naval Shipyard for $60. As the name suggests, it is mainly used because of its transportation abilities, being able to garrison up to 6 tanks and soldiers and being able to carry them across water.
Usage[]
Used primarily during the early game phases and less so as the game goes on, Transport Ships are a staple unit of naval-oriented maps. Often, they are the first units to be produced once a round begins and a Naval Shipyard is set up, ferrying a player's starting army to islands with crystals. Even during the later phases of the game, it's not uncommon to see Transport Ships still in use if an Airport and Transport Planes are not used.
Strategies[]
- The Transport Ship is one of the more important units on the naval maps used to transport ground troops to only water accessible places like islands.
- Due to its inability to defend itself from offensive units, it may be a good idea to have offensive units escort your Transport Ship.
- Transport Ships are faster than Destroyers, Battleships, and Aircraft Carriers, meaning running away is often a viable strategy.
Trivia[]
- The Transport Ship was in The Conquerors 2 and The Conquerors Mark 2.
- The Modern USA Transport Ship skin includes a helipad, but the Transport Ship cannot garrison helicopters.
- The Transport Ship is the only naval unit that received no changes in the Naval Update.
