Fire Galley early-water pressure
Fire Galley: Fire Galleys are a strong early choice for water control and can pressure enemy Docks before both players have built a larger fleet. Their fast damage makes grouped attacks more effective than isolated harassment.
Overview
Fire Galley: Fire Galleys are a strong early choice for water control and can pressure enemy Docks before both players have built a larger fleet. Their fast damage makes grouped attacks more effective than isolated harassment.
Plan and execution
Build a Dock on a safe shoreline, produce several Fire Galleys, and target enemy warships or a Dock only when the route is clear. Keep fishing and transport routes in view, and add support ships if the opponent switches to a counter fleet.
Risks and adaptation
A successful early raid can still leave your own coast exposed. Scout the opponent’s Dock, avoid chasing into a defended harbor, and transition when the Hulk line or other naval counters arrive.
