Special abilities:
• Ranged attack • No melee penalty • No enemy retaliation • Accurate shot. The ability is triggered after a shot: each creature in an attacking stack has a X% chance of killing a creature in the attacked squad, but the total number of killed creatures cannot be more than (number of creatures in an attacking squad) * X/100 (rounded up). X = 3 multiplier for shooting without penalty and X = 2 if shooting with penalty. Ability doesn't work if shooting at creatures behind walls.

Pirates, Corsairs, and Sea Dogs are the level 3 creatures of Cove. They can be recruited from the Frigate. Both the Upgraded Frigate and the Gunpowder Warehouse must be built in order to recruit Sea Dogs.
