For the mechanics of combat, see warfare.

This page is dedicated to each of the units in Victoria II.

Important note: These tables list statistics without any technologies or inventions, which can hugely alter the balance of quality between units.

Naval units

The game features three classes of ships:

• Transports are used to ferry troops from one landmass to another. They are very weak in combat.
• Light Ships, sometimes called screens, are fast but lightly armed and armored. To offset this weakness they get some unique abilities. All light ships have an evasion chance which allows them to dodge incoming fire and once certain technology has been researched some light ships gain a powerful torpedo attack.
• Heavy Ships, sometimes called capital ships or ships of the line, carry the heaviest guns and armor. Their power is balanced by high maintenance costs and vulnerability to torpedoes. Only capital ships count towards a nation's military score.

Most heavy ships can only be built at naval bases connected by land or straits to the nation's capitol. Monitors can be built anywhere which makes them useful for guarding your far flung colonies.

Improvements over time

These statistics are improved by researching Navy Technology. The following sections will detail the statistics for ships after each tier of navy technology has been completed and all inventions in that tier have been discovered. The year provided is when the last tech in this tier becomes available for research.

Ships in AHD

The Heart of Darkness expansion featured an overhaul of the naval system with completely revised ship statistics and new mechanics. Here are the statistics from AHD.

• Combat strength: A measure of the unit's combat ability. Equal to sqrt(Hull * Gun power).
• Yearly statistics assume all available naval technologies and inventions have been obtained.
