Brethren Brig is a brethren variant of the Brig ship class in Windrose. A brig is a versatile war-capable ship that stands between trader and warship. Favored by captains who expect trouble. Brethren ships are true sea fortresses, thanks to their exceptionally sturdy hulls and spacious holds. However, they pay for it with speed. Build one at the Wharf with the right Ship Design plan, then outfit the cannon, hull, naval tactics, and boarding party slots before setting sail.
Overview
Property | Value |
|---|---|
Hitpoints | 90,000 |
Max Speed | 18 |
Cargo size | 32 |
Main battery | 6 guns, 12 lbs |
Crew | 50 |
Strategic Role
The Brethren Brig is the fortress build: heavier hitpoints, more cargo, slower sail. Designed for sustained slugfests, siege-style combat, and long cargo runs where survivability matters more than speed. Brethren hulls pair naturally with Naval Tactics IV: Shipshape for out-of-combat regen and defensive hull bracings.
