Boarding Galley

Overview

A planned religious ship from the original Age of Empires II data. Its prototype could not attack and was never part of the normal production roster.

Availability and investment

Boarding Galley becomes available in The Age of Kings. It is associated with The Age of Kings (Unit). The listed cost is not separately recorded and the training time is 51 seconds. This tells you when it can first join an army and which resources must be reserved alongside Villager production, upgrades, and other military lines.

Combat profile

The available combat values are included here so the numbers can be read as a profile rather than an isolated list. Hit points and armor describe how long the unit can remain exposed; attack and any bonus damage describe what it threatens; range, reload, accuracy, and movement describe how reliably it can engage or disengage. A value shown for a whole upgrade line applies to the listed stages as recorded, so compare the stage names instead of treating the line as one base unit.

• Hit points: 200
• Melee armor: 3
• Pierce armor: 2, 4 (Armored)
• Armor class: Ship
• Line of sight: 6
• Range: 1
• Accuracy: 25%

Field use

Use the unit where water control matters: protect fishing and transport routes, contest enemy ships, or support a landing. Its impact depends on the map’s shore access and the rest of the fleet.
