 In the Extended Edition, this unit/building is affected by a damage bug.
|
The Brig is the Dutch unique Light Ship of the 
Medieval Age that replaces the standard Caravel.
Overview[]
Compared to Caravels, Brigs have +5 hit points, +1 attack strength, +1 armor, +1 movement speed, and do not take bonus damage from Carracks, but lack the damage bonus against Helicopters, Fire Ships, and Submarines that standard Light Ships have. They also receive additional damage from Aircraft because normal Light Ships take reduced damage from all Aircraft and especially from Fighter Aircraft, but these damage modifiers do not included the Brig. They do, however, also lack the negative damage modifier against Fishermen which standard Light Ships have.
Unfortunately the unit's attacks suffer from a serious bug, making them overall substantially worse than Caravels.
Technical Information[]
Attack Bug [1]
In unitrules.xml, the Brig is given a 3-round salvo per attack. However, in unit_graphics.xml (which determines projectiles that are spawned during attacks), only a single projectile is actually spawned with each attack.[2] This causes an enormous loss of DPS, with damage dealt per attack cut to 1/3 of what it should be.
