Port is a building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy. These buildings have a slot reserved for them in coastal settlements where they can be built and upgraded. Besieged armies can leave the settlement via the port.
Description[]
Designed to be light and fast, the ships of the Late Bronze Age could be dragged at sea or rammed on to the beach, so did not always require deep harbours for deployment or maintenance. Coastal settlements were often established some distance from the waterfront, favouring a better defensive position over easy access to the water. This was the case even for well-guarded Troy, which occupied a strategic maritime location at the mouth of the Hellespont, but was built away from the shore to allow Trojan defenders to engage the enemy on the plains before the city.
