GUIDE · NAVAL STRATEGY
Naval raiding
Use fast ships or a protected transport to threaten exposed Fishing Ships, coastal Villagers, and isolated docks. Short attacks can disrupt the opponent’s economy, but withdrawing before the main fleet arrives helps preserve your force.
Overview
Use fast ships or a protected transport to threaten exposed Fishing Ships, coastal Villagers, and isolated docks. Short attacks can disrupt the opponent’s economy, but withdrawing before the main fleet arrives helps preserve your force.
Hit exposed coastal targets
Scout for isolated Fishing Ships, Villagers gathering near shore, or a Dock that lacks fleet support. Use fast ships for brief pressure and preserve an exit toward friendly waters.
Withdraw before the response
Watch for enemy reinforcements and avoid trading a small raiding force into the main fleet. If the shoreline closes, return to scouting or protect your own fishing economy.
