Fantasizing seabattle stuff.
What if battleships and galleons had an ability to make chain-shots? You know that things to break masts and tear sails apart.

Positions № 3 (upper), 4 and 5

The idea is to slow down movement of enemy ships with small damage shot thus making battleships more useful.

5 turns of invention in docks probably.

The main question is - does they need to be more useful?
Currently they have similar ranged attack to frigates, cannon shot against ships and buildings, they can use boarding and are infantry transports, allowing units to attack from inside.

Battleships have cannon shot? Whoops, i've missed some upgrades :? Still think it does make sense cause battleships were able to do all this stuff with different type of missiles and you can decide how to use your action.
