Defeating the Barbarian Fleet
Equipping Catapults
The marker on your ship tile indicates how well you equipped the catapults on your ships. The more jugs you have, the more well-equipped your ships. At the beginning of the game, each player places their marker on the space left of the “1” to indicate that their catapults are equipped with “0” clay jugs.
To equip your catapult, pay 1 ore and 1 lumber. Then move the marker on your ship tile 1 space to the right.
