Galleon

Overview

The Imperial Age galley upgrade for long-range naval pressure.

Availability and investment

Galleon becomes available in Imperial Age. Its listed production context is Dock. The listed cost is 90 Wood, 30 Gold and the training time is 27 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.

• Upgrade path: Galley → War Galley → Galleon

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.

• Ranged attack: 9
• Hit points: 155
• Melee armor: 0
• Pierce armor: 6
• Ranged attack: 9
• Range: 7
• Line of sight: 9
• Reload time: 3 seconds
• Movement speed: 1.36
• Accuracy: 100%

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.

Armor classes and counters

Armor-class bonuses are separate from base attack and the target’s melee or pierce armor. The class list below shows the unit’s documented combat categories and bonus-damage relationships; use it to judge matchups instead of relying on the unit label alone.

• Armor class: Ship
• Galleon deals +3 bonus damage to units in the Ram class
• Galleon deals +6 bonus damage to units in the All Buildings class
• Galleon deals +11 bonus damage to units in the Fishing Ship class

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 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 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
