===Overall strategy===
War Canoes are by far the cheapest and the weakest of all vessels, being fairly slow and weak, and capable of engaging only melee units. The only use for them in general is for use in defending your settlement, or harassing enemy units that come too close to shore. They are nevertheless cheap and expendable and for those factions that create heavy warships such as the Malays, they are a useful unit to have around to keep enemy fire vessels from reaching your more valuable capital ships.
