Overview

Ports and Shipyards improve the attack speed of nearby warships.

Effect and affected units

Delian League changes port and Shipyard: -15% reload time for warships in range 12. The affected target is warships in range 12; the bonus does not automatically apply to the rest of the roster. This is the main reason to research it; compare the affected units with the army you expect to field.

Research cost and timing

Research is available in Imperial Age at the Fort. The recorded cost is 500 Wood, 300 Gold, and the research time is 60 seconds. Consider whether the upgrade will affect enough units or workers to repay that investment before the match is decided.

Effect and research timing

Ports and Shipyards improve the attack speed of nearby warships. Effect: Port and Shipyard: -15% reload time for warships in range 12. Research becomes available in: Imperial Age; Research at: Fort; Research cost: 500 Wood, 300 Gold; Research time: 60 seconds. This research is restricted to its named civilization, so it is part of that faction’s identity rather than a shared option. Its value depends on which units receive the effect and how often they take part in combat; timing it before a major engagement can improve the whole eligible group.
