Strategic Analysis
Tactical Identity
The War Galley is your **Castle Age naval workhorse**. It dominates water until Imperial Age.
Tactical Playbook
Immediate Upgrade
Research War Galley as soon as you hit Castle Age. The range advantage lets you kite unpgraded Galleys.
Continued Dominance
Keep producing from multiple Docks. Naval momentum is hard to recover once lost.
Support Landings
Use War Galleys to cover Transport Ship landings. Their range can hit shoreline buildings.
Critical Point
**Fire Ships still counter you**. Despite better stats, Fire Ships remain dangerous. Keep distance and use hit-and-run tactics.
Understanding The Stats
The War Galley offers meaningful upgrades over the Galley for Castle Age naval supremacy.
Extended Range
+1 range over Galley. Crucial for kiting and controlling engagements.
Improved Attack
Better damage output for faster kills.
More HP
+15 HP for better survivability in prolonged fights.
Fast Train Time

Coach's Tip
