Description

The second last warship to be created for Rise of Kings, and the very last unique naval unit to be crafted for this game. Last in line will be the Sino-Greek naphta vessel, an advanced anti-ship unit that doesn't have a suicide attack.

Rise of Kings Wiki entry: "An indigenous version of the roundship, the nau (derived from the old Portuguese word for ship) was a combination of the Baltic cog with the lateen sail of the Mediterranean, with hybrid rigging. The benefits of this were manifold: not only did the new variant have the strength and room of a common roundship, but it also had the benefit of flexibility thanks to a lateen sail that could be adjusted to ride out against the wind like a galley (albeit its large size meant it could not be easily rowed if becalmed). With its manoeuvreability and size, the most famous role the nau ever played was in the arduous trade journeys made to India."
