Galleon massed-water-control plan
Galleon: Galleons form the backbone of many Imperial Age fleets. The upgrade improves a Galley mass into a stronger line that can contest sea routes, protect transports, and keep fishing income safe.

Overview
Galleon: Galleons form the backbone of many Imperial Age fleets. The upgrade improves a Galley mass into a stronger line that can contest sea routes, protect transports, and keep fishing income safe.
Plan and execution
Save for the upgrade when the navy remains important, then group the Galleons and take control of one section of water at a time. Use the fleet to guard Docks and transports, and keep reinforcements close enough to maintain numbers after a fight.
Risks and adaptation
A lone Galleon can be overwhelmed by a larger fleet or specialized counter. Do not split the navy across the whole map; protect the resource route that matters most.
