Always the gallon never the frigate
One of the first things I favorited
EDIT: oh, most viral... that's quite unexpected. I'd say send bewbs but does that really happen?

In a serious note thats the repro of the French frigate Hermoine. At her time she was one of the most advanced combat vessels afloat.

Thing about these old tall ships in service is they likely have more kills than their metal friends.

And that fucker will still somehow do 30+ damage to your modern warship.

Solution is to have a swarm of two attack battleships. Nothing I have ever fought has survived

But if that's a British Ship of the Line with the right upgrades, it's still a bloody monster.
rhilterbrant
I'm a warmonger. It's survived long enough to have all the upgrades. It's not getting touched by anything shy of a nuke.
YeahSoYeahSo
Now to drop the noob with CIWS, 5" gun, or Tomahawk... maybe send out one of the choppers?
maleko087
if that's the Constitution, then she could fight back as she's armed with a pair of 40mm cannons. not a lot, but enough to cause some havok.
LittleKnownOne
Dunno if you can Tomahawk that close. Seems like a bad idea.
YeahSoYeahSo
Good thing it's got a truly American amount of options
rnalexander
Reminds me of all the times my battleship got it's ass impossibly kicked by a fucking caravel in Civ
HerrBisch
I know this is stupid, but it never occurred to me how much bigger modern warships are than old wooden ones.
YeahWellAboutThat
This looks like a frigate with about 30 guns, so there were bigger ship-of-the-lines. But yeah, they weren't that much longer, they were 1/2
YeahWellAboutThat
mostly piling up additional decks. But the crew sizes of some of those line ships with 100+ guns..amazing. Some were carrying >1000 men. 2/2

In civ 6 there is an achievement where you have to airlift a level 3 slinger. That is quite a long time to keep a slinger around for.

And a pain in the ass, as I wanted to upgrade them almost every turn.

Haha yeh!

LurkerOfDarkness
This is why I always employ large numbers of bombers and artillery.
PowwerOrb13
Three range on artillery is the best, cities can't directly bombard you as you lay siege
MadDucks
i may or may not have sent a dozen artillery to surround a city with six hitting the city, the other six hitting enemy units once or twice.
GNiko
Sometimes you just can't afford to upgrade all your units.
calipur
When you do, you put it towards something else.
Garouleloup
HONOR ALL THE WAY, SUCK IT BARBARIANS!
iceph03nix
or they're nowhere near friendly territory, and it just seems like too much hassle to sail them back to upgrade them, so you let it ride.

Or you put it on auto-explore and forgot about it.

I forgot about an archer I set to auto explore and only realized it was there when my friend asked me what I was doing with it.
NougatFromOrbit
This was after I had gotten XCOM units in Civ V
IMadeThisJustForThisReply
And sometimes fuck the navy. Civ somehow fails to capture the realities of history as having a great navy does not lead to super power.
HousePest
The navy can be kinda OP in civ games in my experience.
NobleSavant
I've won plenty of games just off of having a great navy. You keep your cities near the shore and bombard anyone and everyone.
PowwerOrb13
Yeah, I beat the aztecs by warring on their coastal cities to pull production away from the space program while my spies took it down.
Solborn
If you play a match with lots of ocean and little resources and little habitable land, you will need a navy.
IMadeThisJustForThisReply
Is it enough to say "duh"? I tend to play fractal or continents, so sure there is water, but the enemy does not have to be limited by me.
n3ckr0mantic
You have that one clippership you used to scout the seas with alongside your legion of laser-toting hoverbots
Peppersworth
Your caravel still exploring as you move your nuclear submarines into position to rain death upon your enemies
HumansArePrettyNeat
They've earned their right to endlessly roam the seas until they're picked off by barbarians.
Solborn
If the Civ games taught me anything, it's that the clipper will wreck the destroyer half of the time.

Did they add more to the future era stuff in the newest one? I was always disappointed I couldnt go further into the future or space.
Cheomesh
Not sure how long you've been around, but in the days of Civ 2 you were supposed to "pick up" in the future with Alpha Centauri.
jsktrogdor
I started in IV I think.
Cheomesh
Ah, I played 2-4, a tiny bit of 5, and basically moved on out of the genre.
Goofychems
Well, the caravel also has one of best line-of-sight. I tend to keep them around for a long time
gtr06
Carvel? Well shit I use to call them carnivals.
aTokenOfMyExtreme
I used to call them home
iprobhavetheclapnow
Think the destroyer with modern radar and sonar should have the best line of sight? Nah def the guy up in the crows nest with a mono-scope.
hawkinat0r
IIRC, the carrier does have the best line of sight. However, he said "one of (the) best", which is also true. Hooray, everyone's right today
TeddyBearHeaven
Plus it's hard to upgrade them when they never return to shore. I'd imagine the surprise on the faces of the scurvy-riddled renaissance /1

Sailors when they return to the city to find all the technologies and amenities they've missed out on in the last 1000 years at sea. /2

Go and read "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman, great book and it has a similar concept.

They would be dead as well, 1000 years.

In theory, if they had the ability to live 1000 years their family and friends would too.

Wouldn't they be born on the ship?

Yeah, they don't like that.
