Sailor

Sailor is a special type of troop in Viking Conquest.

Sailor is a direct upgrade of Fisher.

Sailing bonus[]

If 50% of your party are sailors (or troops that can act like sailors, usually Norse), the speed of the party at sea can be increased with a percentage of 40%. Consequently, they are the only "non-Norse" troop that can provide with you with a sailing speed bonus.

If below 50% of your party count as sailors, then the speed of the party will be increased based on a lower percentage.

Usage and acquisition[]

Sailors can potentially bridge the sailing gap bonus between Norse and Christian troops (as most Norse troops act as sailors for the bonus purposes). Hence, they are useful in your party in number of up to 50% depending on your preference.

In combat, you should keep in the back of your shield wall as they have no shields, low armor and short melee weapons ("archers" group).

They can be recruited in mead halls or via the Old Sea Captain (much cheaper) when strolling through the towns with ports. The Old Sea Captain does not always have sailors available (generally there is a replenishment rate during time).

You can also often find them in "prisoner trains" - parties of bandits that took them as prisoners.

They can be spotted as part of overland parties like: "Traveller", "Swedish Vikingr" etc
