Pioneers will experience the fun of naval warfare gameplay in Era IV. So, what naval ships are there? How are they operated and used? Today, we bring you a detailed introduction to naval combat units to help you familiarize yourselves with the naval combat environment.
Basic Explanation
I. Basic Introduction
A ship is a type of overall unit selection for a land-based army when it enters a sea region. The attributes and combat rules for Pioneers engaging in naval combat are mostly the same as on land.

Additionally, ships must be unlocked before they can be used. Each ship has a usage limit of 2 times.
Ship Acquisition
Pioneers can build a Shipyard to gain the ability to use and modify ships. By unlocking the corresponding era's ships through Era Technology, they provide ship choices for converting land-based armies into naval units.

I. Unlocking Ships
-
Unlock Ship Technology
Similar to conventional unit types, after advancing technology to the Gunpowder/Industrial/Electric Era, researching the corresponding ship technology will unlock the respective naval ships. Once unlocked, they can be used throughout the current Era.

Unlock Shipyard
Unlock the [Shipyard] construction function through technology. Once unlocked, the [Shipyard] can be built in the main city and all sub-cities and can be upgraded to the maximum level. The Shipyard consumes resources for upgrades, and upgrading grants more [Modification Blueprints], which are used for ship modification.
The main city and sub-cities will have a new city building, the [Shipyard]. After constructing any [Shipyard], the [Land Unit to Naval Unit Conversion] function can be used in buildings such as [Docks, Port Cities, and certain Passes] to convert land units into naval units.
For specific details about related buildings, you can click the link below to view them.
II. Using Ships
At a departure point such as a Dock, after selecting a ship type for an army, it is considered that the army has used that type of ship once. The usage limit for each ship type is 2 times. It cannot be used after exceeding this limit.
III. Ship Classification
Ships are classified according to their main role and tendency into DPS Ships, Survival Ships, and Control Ships. Similar to the original army tendencies, they will provide corresponding types of inherent and modifiable abilities, and possess strategic functions such as Bombardment, Anti-Air, and Fast.

Based on the effects provided by their Inherent and Modifiable Abilities, ships form different combat tendencies and functional types. These include:
Combat Tendency
- ⚔️ DPS Tendency Ships: Possess more effects that increase damage and activation rates.
- 🛡️ Survival Tendency Ships: Possess more effects that increase healing, damage reduction, and evasion.
- ◎ Control Tendency Ships: Possess more effects that increase control abilities and provide buffs after applying control effects.
Functional Type
- 💥 Bombardment Type Ships: Possess a bombardment ability. When deployed, they can deal damage to distant targets.
- 🎯 Anti-Air Type Ships: Possess an anti-air ability. When deployed, they can automatically attack flying units that enter their anti-air range.
- ⏩ Fast Type Ships: Possess higher movement speed.

IV. Ship Modification
-
How to Modify:
A new currency resource - Modification Blueprints - has been added. Pioneers can consume Modification Blueprints to perform ship modifications on each unlocked ship to improve its attributes or acquire new abilities.
Modification Blueprints can be obtained through the following ways:
- Obtain a certain number of Modification Blueprints by upgrading the Shipyard.
- After the corresponding progression is completed, all Pioneers will receive a certain number of Modification Blueprints.
-
Modification Reset:
The modifications for each ship can also be reset by consuming a certain amount of Gold. This resets the current ship's modified attributes and abilities and fully refunds the consumed Modification Blueprints (there is no cooldown for resetting).
-
Modification Precautions:
When a ship is undergoing modification, it cannot be at sea. It must be docked at a building like a dock or port, be unused, or be on land.
