Overview

A cheap Chronicles scout ship that costs no gold and is effective against Galleys. The first Port grants a free Lembos.

Availability and investment

Lembos becomes available in Archaic Age. It is associated with Chronicles (Chronicles naval & specialist roster). The listed cost is 30 Food, 50 Wood and the training time is 60 seconds. This tells you when it can first join an army and which resources must be reserved alongside Villager production, upgrades, and other military lines.

Combat profile

The available combat values are included here so the numbers can be read as a profile rather than an isolated list. Hit points and armor describe how long the unit can remain exposed; attack and any bonus damage describe what it threatens; range, reload, accuracy, and movement describe how reliably it can engage or disengage. A value shown for a whole upgrade line applies to the listed stages as recorded, so compare the stage names instead of treating the line as one base unit.

Field use

Use the unit where water control matters: protect fishing and transport routes, contest enemy ships, or support a landing. Its impact depends on the map’s shore access and the rest of the fleet.

Battlefield role and use

Naval value depends on the opponent’s fleet and access to water: combine complementary ship roles and protect the routes used to reinforce or transport.
