The Longboat is a unique unit in Age of Empires II that can be built only by the Vikings during the Castle Age. It can be upgraded at the Dock during the Imperial Age to Elite Longboat.

The Longboat, like the Chinese Chu Ko Nu, fires multiple arrows with each attack, and can defeat war galleys in one-on-one combat. Elite longboats defeat galleons (just barely, though) as well. They are best used against multiple enemy ships.

In order to build longboats, a castle must be built first. Longboats may continue to be built after all castles are destroyed.

Elite LongboatEdit

Elite Longboat
Age	Imperial Age
Trained at	Dock
Type	Naval Vessel
Cost	100 Wood, 50 Gold
HP	160
Attack	8
Range	7
Speed	Fast
Upgraded From	Longboat
Upgraded To	N/A

The Elite Longboat is the upgrade of the Longboat. Whilst appearing relatively similar to the Longboat, the armor, hitpoints, damage, and range are slightly better than that of the unupgraded version.

WeaknessesEdit

The Longboat is weak against Demolition Ships, so steer clear of those. Mangonels firing from the shore are also strong against them, so Longboats should be kept well out of range.

Strong PointsEdit

Since the Longboat can shoot multiple arrows, a group of them can rain a shower of arrows on to the target, so Longboats can be used for shore bombardment.
