Viking Conquest Ship Stats

[Sohei]

In case you were wondering what the stats are for each ship.

Type / Speed / Max Crew / Approximate New Price for Oak
Byrding / 9 / 7 / 7500
Knorr / 7 / 11 / 8500
Snekkja / 17 / 27 / 21000
Karvi / 12 / 39 / 23000
Skeid / 20 / 55 / 34000
Busse / 16 / 90 / 49000

All ships are available in Ash (cheapest), Pine (midrange), and Oak (best). Used versions are available in port towns in various states of repair.

Byrding is a basic small transport. Knorr is a trade ship. Snekkja is a smalll war ship.
Karvi is a general use ship. Skeid is the fastest war ship. Busse is the war ship that holds the most troops.

To have a Karvi, Skeid, or Busse built you will need to supply some extra building materials. The materials are one each of tar, wool, and timber. Only the Norse shipwrights can build Skeid and Busse. The cities that can build them or have used ones for sale are Tunsberg, Ribe, Dorestad, and Dubh Linn.

Your Sea King skill determines how many ships you can have. Your fleet moves as fast as the slowest ship in your fleet.


You control your lead ship with arrow keys and the enter key to raise or lower the sail. Whether sailing or rowing is faster will depend on wind direction and number of troops.

If you want to attack with just your lead ship you can order the other ships to hold at the spawn point. 9 to select ships then F1 F4 to hold. If you need them to come help just use F1 F3 to have them charge again. This is helpful when using a circling tactic to rain missiles on the enemies. Usually the other ships will hold back far enough to stay out of the way.



--------------------------------


I was saving up for a Snekkja but now that I have 26k I think I will wait a bit longer and get a Skeid instead. I like the speed of the Skeid and it holds enough in one ship to do some village raids. I prefer the looks of the small ships actually but my party has already outgrown them and I would rather stick with a single ship for now.

I now have three busse: the Lutefisk, the Surstromming, and the Rakfisk. All of them have black tarred hulls with red stripes and red sails.

Edit: My personal ship info is very old. I have played mulitple play throughs now. I still tend to build several busse and name them after pungent fish products.

Edit2: This same information and more is now available in the form of a guide put together by White Knight. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=838952711

The prices arent set, it varies. I got Snekkja for 16500 pennings. Getting an Busse to max out manpower to defend against rampaging Danish wikings!

[Sohei]

Yes the prices vary for both new and used. Occasionally I have even seen new prices that are lower than used prices. Because the prices vary so much I tried to quote an approximate high end price for each so you could find one for less if you shop around.

The used price will also vary not just by the location but also the condition. It will tend to be less if it is below perfect condition but you will have to pay more to repair it.

how can i get more ships? if i buy another one it just replaces mu current ship... i also have the sea-king skill maxed

[Sohei]

Not sure. I haven't tried to buy a second ship yet. Actually still working on the first one.

[Hysterion]

Got Busse(Oak) in Ribe. It cost me 48600, 1 timber, 1 tar, 1 wool. I'm half way there for another Busse. Would have gotten it already but i bought 2 weavers or however you call them, they are 18k each...

[Sohei]

Where did you pick up the tar? I have everything else ready to build my Skeid.

I usually find tar in the Kingdom of Northverg. Visit every village and select "buy supplies" theres bound to be at least one for 30-40 pennings. If not there should be in the main city for 300-400 pennings.

Thanks. Going to go build my ship now.

How do you repair your ships?

[Octavian8866]

never mind.

[Sohei]

Ugh. Looks like my save game is corrupt. The economy is completely broken. No tar anywhere, many other items are at wrong price, and I can't get the ship built even using tar from the item cheat menu. Going to have to trash this save and start over from scratch.

timper tar and wool

Anyone know if you can prevent loss of morale when sailing? Does troop type play a role?

The game suggests setting down on land for the night, but honestly, morale loss while sailing makes perfect sense and it'd be silly if it were preventable. Being a sailor was horrible and grueling, in those days.

I can agree with you there. Still, it can be a bit of a pain either way, my hope is they'll make this toggleable in some way or another.
