VI. Building Your Naval Forces

Now that we have a basic base, and we know what it feels like to be attacked, it is time to configure our own naval forces in order to do a little attacking of our own!

This starts with adding troops to our existing Landing Craft - those being Riflemen for now. Remember though that the troops are a distinct and separate element from the navy.

It seems that a single LC is not sufficient - so we need to build a new one. That makes sense when you stop to consider that at the start and at their beginning level a Landing Craft basically holds just a single squad of 5 men. We are going to want a LOT more than that for an invasion force!

So we now head back to the Build Menu and find that we can actually have up to 2 LCs in total with our HQ at its present Level - and we only have 1 right now. That means we can build a new one.

The cost is 150 Wood, and it takes 3s to build - so go ahead and build one - then we need to add some more Riflemen. Completing that pretty much fulfills the requirements for this stage in the tute.
