Trivia
A Cladifier can be used to change the metal material of the Poseidon from Iron to the metal of the Cladifier.
A Poseidon Upgrade can also be used to add extra armor to the wheelhouse of the ship, more effectively protecting the helmer from being cannon sniped, particularly from mortar shells. However, it also restricts the helmer's movement from the wheel in the event of boarding.
In lore, the Poseidon is most commonly used by Purshovia, with each Poseidon only costing 5 CP for the faction compared to 9 CP for all other factions
Purshovia has developed a triple-barreled turret for the Poseidon known as a Marochev Turret, which has far greater power and range than a standard Poseidon Long Gun, but a much slower turn rate comparable to a normal cannon. These turrets are unobtainable by normal players and are typically only seen in Purshovian war events. A Poseidon using this turret costs 7 CP in war, rather than the typical 5 CP for a Purshovian Poseidon.
This ironclad is named after the Greek god of the sea.
