Hail to You Greatest Warrior on land and King of Kings! Your warriors have reached the end of land! From here only water can be seen. Some of your captured enemies claim that there are other lands beyond the water, lands rich beyond imagination, filled with fertile fields and people weak and unable to protect their possessions. They say they can build vessels able to withstand the anger of the Gods of water and wind, and capable of carrying your warriors to those new lands. What is your decision, O’ Great One? Spare their lives and allow them to build these creations, or punish them for lying?

Historically, steppe peoples never created a powerful navy. They rarely used any ships, and even then the vessels were made and manned by others. This unit represents small merchant round ships and big boats, grouped together to serve as troop transports. Do not expect them to fight - if they meet proper warships nothing will save them.</long></description></unit>
