Galley fleet-mass opening
Galley: Galleys are most effective in numbers and can attack enemy warships or Fishing Ships near shore. Their early role is to establish enough water presence for fishing income and future naval upgrades.
Overview
Galley: Galleys are most effective in numbers and can attack enemy warships or Fishing Ships near shore. Their early role is to establish enough water presence for fishing income and future naval upgrades.
Plan and execution
Build a Dock on a safe shoreline and produce Galleys in a group. Use scouting to find enemy fishing routes, then pressure a cluster of Fishing Ships or contest the central water rather than sending single Galleys into a larger fleet.
Risks and adaptation
Unupgraded Galleys are weaker than later ship lines and can lose when outnumbered. Protect the Dock and fishing economy, then move to War Galleys if the match remains focused on water.
