Galley
In the game's words
How to use it
The Galley is a unique Ottoman warship that replaces the Caravel. It can fish for Food, scout shorelines, and transport Settlers and soldiers. It sinks quickly when attacked by any ships of the line (Galleons, Frigates, Monitors) or defensive buildings (Town Centers and upgraded Outposts). Artillery and even a group of units can sink a Caravel in reach of their weapons. The best thing about the Galley is that often the first one is free! Players sometimes forget that they have a starting Galley and focus their activities on land, but using a starting ship well can be key to a successful game. Controlling the waterways of a map means a player has free rein to scout, fish, and transport troops. Learning the balance between managing land and water activities is the trick.
History
Galleys were ships powered by both oar and sail. They were mostly used in the Mediterranean, and developed into other varieties that emphasized sail over oars, like the galliot and galleass. The men at the oars were often slaves or convicts, chained to their posts while a ship sat at anchor. Most galleys had cannon that fired only forward, though some designs allowed for both rowers and cannons, giving the galley a broadside attack. Approximate weight: 250 tons. Length: 140 feet.
