Plan and execution
Upgrade a Fire Ship fleet that is already active, then group the ships and focus one opponent at a time. Use Galleons to draw attention or protect the approach, and keep Fire Ships near transports or fishing routes that need cover.
Risks and adaptation
Hulks and other specialized ships can change the matchup, while ranged fleets can damage the Fire Ships before they close. Do not send them alone into a prepared naval counter.
