Cilician Fleet Armenian water-control plan
Cilician Fleet improves several Armenian naval tools, giving Galleys more reach and Demolition Ships a larger blast threat. Use those advantages to control a useful sea lane before investing in shoreline attacks.

Overview
Cilician Fleet improves several Armenian naval tools, giving Galleys more reach and Demolition Ships a larger blast threat. Use those advantages to control a useful sea lane before investing in shoreline attacks.
Plan and execution
Research the technology when the fleet is large enough to exploit its range and blast effects. Use Galleys to maintain spacing and focus enemy ships from safer positions, while Demolition Ships punish a clustered fleet or a shore defense. Add Dromons for building pressure and keep transports behind the combat group so the fleet’s range advantage supports expansion.
Risks and adaptation
A blast radius cannot help if Demolition Ships are intercepted before reaching the target, and Armenian fleets still need numbers and scouting. Do not split the ships across unrelated routes while the opponent’s main fleet is active.
