==Description==
Fire Ships are burning ships that approach enemy fleets and ignite them. Only the defender can use Fire Ships. During an attack, every Fire Ship destroys one enemy ship, while destroying itself in the process. They are very slow, and are often passed up for [[Bireme|Biremes]] for support.


==Requirements==
Fire Ships are your last line of defense and will only defend if they need to. Eg. If you have Biremes with the Fire Ships, the Biremes will be used and then, and only then if they have all been sunk, will Fire Ships come into action.

This ship defies all Grepolis logic. It has a horrible attack stat, and yet it's capable of taking out a Trireme in one hit. This is because they are suicide ships. I'm sure after you read this you will want to make 100's of them, but they have major downsides. Fire ships kill themselves when they kill an enemy ship. This means that if you only have fire ships for your defense, and the enemy sends multiple waves of strong attacks, you will quickly run out of fire ships. Biremes are a much better choice as they can still defeat the enemy but they can still survive to fight another day.  Also, fireships have NO EFFECT on [[Transports]], [[Light Transports]], [[Colony Ships]] or [[Hydras]]. Fire ships can ONLY destroy [[biremes]], [[triremes]], and [[Lightships]]!

Fire Ships are some times used in Conquest worlds, because they can be launched in an attack but only if that attack includes a Colony Ship. When defending a siege, Fire Ships do not defend the Colony Ship as they do not enter battle until all other units have died.

Description

Fire Ships are burning ships that approach enemy fleets and ignite them. Only the defender can use Fire Ships. During an attack, every Fire Ship destroys one enemy ship, while destroying itself in the process. They are very slow, and are often passed up for Biremes for support.

Fire Ships are your last line of defense and will only defend if they need to. Eg. If you have Biremes with the Fire Ships, the Biremes will be used and then, and only then if they have all been sunk, will Fire Ships come into action.

Fire Ships do not sink Transport Boats, Fast Transport Boats, Colony Ships or Hydras. Fire Ships can ONLY destroy Biremes, Triremes, and Light Ships

Only for Conquest worlds:
Fire Ships are some times used in Conquest worlds, because they can be launched in an attack but only if that attack includes a Colony Ship. When defending a siege, Fire Ships do not defend the Colony Ship as they do not enter battle until all other units have died.

  • If you attempt to include Fire Ships with your offensive troops to back-snipe an incoming Colony Ship then your Fire Ships will support the siege instead, while your other troops attack.
