Merchant Ships

The average merchant ship carries about 150 tons of goods, and travels about a hundred miles per day in good weather. It may unload about one ton per hour in most ports of call. Horse carrying ships are specially designed, and can carry up to forty horses. Passenger ships are also specially designed, and carry about 150 passengers. Warship transports can carry sixteen pieces of heavy equipment maximum. These are not troop transports, which can carry about 150 troops without gear and 100 troops with field gear. Sea lanes are usually guarded by picket ships, but these picket ships can't be everywhere. Piracy is not very common near Tre'Volos, but much more common elsewhere.
