    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.

    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.

    Battlefield role and use

    A long-range warship that attacks from a distance and can pressure shore defenses. Availability across the line: Galley: Feudal Age · War Galley: Castle Age · Galleon: Imperial Age. Naval value depends on the opponent’s fleet and access to water: combine complementary ship roles and protect the routes used to reinforce or transport.
