Just to note we do have steel now from our cannon. And for shell types there are APHE/SAP and APC. They are both pretty much the same thing but the difference being APC has the bare minimum HE filling at the base of the shell to be effective while having minimal effecte to the armour piercing characteristics of the shell. Where as APHE/SAP is the middle ground between AP and HE .
Hmm. Fair enough about the steel, I've changed it to be forged steel instead of cast iron.
I've also added an APHE shell, with the stipulation that it is the lowest priority.

Luu-class (Mongolian for Dragon) Cruiser
Based off the Yalagdashgui, the Luu-class vessel makes use of yet another innovation in propulsion, the "screw" method of propulsion, and driven by the relatively new "steam turbines" now in use by navies across the world. It is still made of wood and plated with iron, however, and is slimmer than the Yalagdashgui, as it has no carrying capacity for troops or ground equipment, only some marines. It is built for speed, even with the iron plating, and so is relatively narrow, with only one gundeck, with just five of our best howitzers per side. Two more face forwards, and two more to the aft.

Very Hard: 5
Luu-Class Cruiser:
The Luu-Class is a fine ship, much faster and much much more modern then the old Yalagdashgui, however at the cost of some armour, not that it means much seeing how the Nafunan's have yet to get anything that can actually pose a threat to our own ships. Still, it is much faster then the Yalagdashgui, so much so that unless the Nafunan's have absolutely perfect conditions and try evading our detection, we can catch up with their ships and sink them with little to no threat to our own. The steam engine on the Luu-Class is also a bit larger and more powerful then the Yalagdashgui's as well due to utilizing turbines, however its a bit finicky, and needs supervision at all times by professional engineers least it breaks, which it does sometimes when at flank speed. We also made enough room to store a good amount of coal for the steam engines to allow it to be at sea for a good while before needing to return and get more fuel. Costs 3 Ore, 2 wood, Complex- Expensive.

It is now the Revision Phase, The Khan and his admirals rub their hands at the thought of ruining Nafuna's Naval Trade.

(Edited as it was brought to my attention that turbines where first used on ships on 1984 and first demonstrated this very year.)

Artillery Ammunition Improvements, Shamelessly Stolen Revision Version
The idea blatantly and proudly stolen from the Nafunans, this exploding shell has two fuse mechanisms- a simple impact fuse, and a clockwork timer. We expect the impact fuse to be the most commonly used here. Baina Shrapnel Shell- this is a hollow shell filled with metal balls. After the timer fuse expires, the shell bursts open, and the metal balls spread out like a shotgun blast. An excellent way of dealing with massed infantry.

We can do this, OR

Algasahk Rifle Scope
The Nafunans appear to have placed some sort of small spyglass on their rifles, to see their targets better. We've done the same. Inscribing crosshairs and a set of shot-drop (How far above your target you should aim for a given range) indicators on the glass of the lens without damaging it is a delicate process, but well worth it when our marksmen will be even more accurate than the Nafunans are.

Algasahk. That took me, like, 20 seconds, if that.
Anyway, as I said, we need to counter their god-mode snipers. Easiest way to do that is with our own god-mode snipers.

Thank you, NUKE, was not feeling up to digging through the internet to find a halfway decent translator for that last night.

Normal: 1
Algasahk Rifle Scope:
When we thought of making a rifle scope, we thought that maybe it would be a wise idea to give some young inexperienced and new engineers the task of making this scope for us as a way of trying to make them learn a little bit about how designing and working on a project works. This turned out to be a terrible idea as after the time we had to make the project was up, we where given quite literally a spyglass slapped on a rifle and nothing more, no cross hairs, shot drop, or anything else we asked for. We thought that either the young engineers where just pulling our leg or where completely incompetent, but its even worse then that, they actually managed to put the thing on a rifle within the span of a single day, and for the rest of the time they had, they quite literally sat around doing nothing but eating, relaxing, and wasting our precious time. Regardless, Khan Khan has...dealt...with them personally.

It is now the Battle Phase. The Khan is actually quite happy, surprisingly, probably because of the recent... removal, of incompetent engineers.

Well... it's better than nothing.

Anyway, unless Project Hippo (which is definitely an ironclad or semantically equivalent, no matter what Joe says) turns out to be really effective once fixed up, we should dominate the seas, thanks to our ahead-of-time turbine-driven warship. So attacking the Ruins is a no-brainer. Then the choice is between the Villages and the Savannah. I'm gonna say Villages, since it's more valuable.
