<blockquote>Ship of the Lines were the quintessential battleship of the era. Though they were slow and sluggish to manoeuvre, Heavy Ship of the Lines were the most powerful sailing vessels on the high seas. They were often ranked 1st or 2nd rate in a company's fleet. Though the first models were already built during the 15th century, this type of warship had an important role in naval battles all over the World spanning the 17th to 19th century. Ship of the Lines often had over one hundred cannons spread across three decks and a crew of more than one thousand men. Fighting in formation, with a long line of ships sailing one behind the other, they bombarded their enemies with devastating broadside attacks.Â
</blockquote>Th SOL Heavy will be the bertha of the game, the one ship that strikes fear into the heart of every playdoh pirate that sails. It will be interesting to seehow many of these they plant in the oceans or if they are considered a royal navy only ship which must be capturered.  Â
Now these introductions are coming to an end I do hope they will allow the modding of more ships, it would be nice to have an introduction for a Schooner, Corvette, War Galleon, etc..
 Since IE crashes when I sho the You Tube of it I'll just link you to the page that shows it all off. <a href="http://www.eic-game.com/?page=shipintro_11" target="_blank">HERE</a>
