Boats are a feature introduced in Viking Conquest. There are six different types of boats: Byrding, Knorr, Snekkja, Karvi, Skeid, and Busse. Boats can be obtained by ordering the construction of a boat in any port town by talking to a shipwright, by buying a second-hand boat - in need of repair, more often than not - from a shipwright, or sometimes from winning sea battles, with the Looting skill increasing this chance. In the campaign, the player gets a Snekkja when finishing the quests in the Kingdom of Friese. The boats can be made from three different types of woods: ash, pine, or oak, with ash being the worst quality of wood and oak being the best quality. From every boat, the pattern and colour of the sail can be customized, as well as the boat itself, if made out of oak. But these changes are purely cosmetic. If a boat's condition is not maintained, it can sink during bad weather at sea. While in a port town, you can also select your flagship, which is your primary ship when entering a sea battle, as well as the order in which ships appear in a sea battle. Contents 1 Sea-king skill 2 Properties 3 Material 4 Order to Build a Boat 5 Standard ship names Sea-king skill[] The Sea-King skill is needed to be able to own boats. The skill can be raised up to level 4, which allows you to own up to 7 boats. Properties[] Each vessel has it own properties, but the slowest ship determines how fast the fleet can travel on the world map. During sea battles, the speed you can achieve depends on the wind when sailing. If you are rowing, the number of men on the ship determine the speed. A ship with only a quarter of its max capacity will be slower than the same boat with full crew. Also note that sailors and norsemen can increase the speed of a ship slightly more than other troops, both on the world map and in sea battles. The capacity of the ship is number of troops in your army. Prisoners are not added to the capacity count. Type Speed Capacity Notes Byrding 9 7 It is a wide ship, you can move around, even when the ship is fully loaded. Knorr 7 11 It is a wide ship, you can move around, even when the ship is fully loaded. Snekkja 17 27 Narrow ship. Impossible to move around when fully loaded without risking falling into the sea. Karvi 12 39 It is a wide ship, you can move around, even when the ship is fully loaded. Skeid 20 55 Narrow ship. Impossible to move around when fully loaded without risking falling into the sea. It's the fastest ship available. Busse 16 90 It's the largest ship available and has the lowest cost in loading capacity. It is a wide ship, you can move around, even when the ship is fully loaded. Material[] The material of a boat affects the 'durability' of the boat, that means how well it will resists storms and still be able to be used. Order to Build a Boat[] When ordering to let a shipwright build you a boat, the player must have the following amounts of currency and some items as well. Depending on the type and material the boat is made of, the player needs to wait between 9 to 33 days before the boat is finished.
