Strategic Analysis
Tactical Identity
The Fire Galley is your **anti-Galley specialist**. Use it to break enemy Galley mass.
Tactical Playbook
Close the Gap
Galleys outrange you (5 vs 2.5). Use terrain and focus fire to get in range. Once close, you dominate.
Mixed Composition
Pure Fire Galleys lose to kiting. Mix with your own Galleys to force engagements.
Splash Damage
Fire damage hits in an area. Clumped enemy ships take extra damage. Force them into tight spaces.
Critical Point
**Kiting destroys you**. Smart players will hit-and-run. You need superior numbers or terrain advantage to force fights.
Understanding The Stats
The Fire Galley is a specialized counter unit designed to punish Galley mass at close range.
Fire Damage
Burns ships in range for sustained damage. Devastating when in range.
Short Range
Must close distance to deal damage. Vulnerable during approach.
Good HP
Tanky enough to survive the approach if supported.
Affordable
Cheaper wood than Galleys but more gold. Worth it vs Galley mass.
Coach's Tip
Your 2.5 range is your biggest weakness. You need to close the distance against 5-range Galleys. Use terrain and numerical advantage.
