the Brazilian battleship may pack an early punch but for anyone that fights naval engagements like I do, ironclads will take it.
Not so much with the Policy Card Press gang and the wonder that builds 2 for the price of one.Norway can consistently build more ships throughout the game. Even through the other civs may have better ships, Norway will have a bigger army before they get their unique units. Mid-late game ships are expensive to build.
Not in the slightest I have fought and killed it many times, I have also played with it and had it sunk by Russian subs. It is slow, that is its weakness, amd you have to build the thing. Granted it’s powerful it TBH any SP Navy is, it just that it’s slow and expensive.I think you are underestimating Brazil's ship.
Housing is unimportant, you just do not need large cities ubnless threatened for loyaltywithout having to think about housing
So their UU need an additional unit tacked on to get their +5, a little annoying and +5 is not hugeTheir UU get +5 strength from being in formations,
Because the Norway chop is so scary and so early and by default Norway ends up with a massive ton of ships...I don't understand how people can vote for a civ other than Indonesia.

The big difference between land and sea battles is you cannot see your opponent until they attack so shooty things typically can only shoot after they have been mauled apart from maybe getting a scout ship or embarked unit.
There was a big thread a while back about what use were melee ships, it came up because in SP there is no real competition at sea and I guess when you consider that themn maybe the dutch frigate and the brazilian battleship are great because they are gonna take you onto land faster. The whole thread is eaither moot or needs better clarification
A few patches back norway gained and extra +50% while producing shipsWait, Norwegian Chop? Did I miss something?
A few patches back norway gained and extra +50% while producing ships
Magnus + card + Norway = 250% chop
And I have to admit the Indonesians are strongish but late to the party.production
