Definition
A fleet represents one or more ships; it could be a single large swift vessel or a fleet of half a dozen much smaller vessels. Fleets are able to sail to foreign ports to trade for resources and precious items that are valuable in the Empire.
Production
If the players does not select a downtime option for their fleet, it is randomly assigned a single foreign port to visit between events. The owner gains the resources to be had from trading at that port.
New Players
A new player who starts with a fleet receives a random trading result from the table below. It is not possible to choose which port your fleet has traded at before you attend your first event.
Downtime Options
You may choose one of ten foreign or barbarian ports to trade or raid. Each port provides different commodities for the fleet ower.
Upgrades
A fleet can be upgraded using weirwood obtained from the Bourse. A fleet produces more valuable resources each time it is upgraded, according to this chart of foreign ports.
To upgrade a fleet requires Imperial wains of weirwood equal to the level the fleet is being upgraded to. So the first upgrade of a starting level 1 fleet costs 2 Imperial wains of weirwood, from 2 to 3 costs 3 Imperial wains, etc.
