Minotaur

Minotaur is a long-range missile cruiser.

Properties
Minotaur fires a single, powerful missile slowly. Usually, the missile hits its target before Minotaur can refire. Minotaur will usually deal no damage to units with Phalanx attached.

Strategies

 * Even if you have a Missile build, Minotaur should be avoided for base bombardment, as it is weak to Purple's Phalanx turret and Yellow's Grendel, Mastodon, and Phalanx.
 * Freeze Rounds will make it more effective against enemy ships, even with Phalanx, as just one hit from it will allow it to sustain fire, if the player has Missile Doctrines or Freeze Boosts active.
 * Minotaur used in naval yard overwhelm phalanx and gladiator more easily, and get a better DPS than most capital ship.

Trivia

 * In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man.
 * Literally translated, Minotaur reads "the bull of Minos".
