The Spanish treasure fleets were made out of galleons and war galleons.Ī two-decked battleship normally equipped with 60 to 90 guns.Ī large battleship equipped with three gun decks, usually holding more than 100 cannons. It was larger and more heavily armed than the regular galleons, and served as protecting escorts to galleon fleets. The war galleon was a large galleon outfitted for war. Some carracks such as the English vessel Henri Grâce à Dieu weighed more than 1,000 tons, had large fore and aft castles, and could be considered as the greatest warships of their time.Ī large, usually three-masted sailing ship originally designed as a warship but later on used primarily for trade and commerce. It was less maneuverable than the caravel, but because of its larger size, it could carry provisions for long voyages, cargo for trade, and guns for self-defense. The design of the carrack, a late medieval ship, combined the features of Germanic longships and Arabic merchantmen. The design of this late medieval ship combined the features of Germanic longships and Arabic merchantmen. The early carrack was the first European vessel which could sail on the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean. Please help with verifying or updating this section. There are also many modifiers from decisions, events and missions that affect ship durability. Offensive-Exploration: Letters of Marque.Maritime-Offensive: Hold the Weather Gauge.Humanist-Naval: The Naval Inspection Act.Scandinavian idea 3: Danish Baltic Fleet.Madyas idea 7: Expand the Shipbuilding Sector.with ‘ Mughal Diwan’ government reform and assimilated Britsh culture group.with a naval leader with ‘Ironside’ personality.with a ruler with ‘Navigator’ personality.as Emperor of China with active ‘Promote Naval Officers’ decree.These modifiers increase the durability of any type of ship: The simplest methods would be to research the 4th Quality idea and implementing the "Letters of Marque" policy from Offensive and Exploration. This means that it one can drastically reduce the overall damage and moral losses of ones navy by pursuing high durability. Both formulas to calculate hull damage (and hence the strength of your ships) and morale losses use durability as the denominator. Hence, see hull strength as equivalent to damage resistance (the damage suffered being directly proportional to the number of cannon fire it receives).ĭurability is one of the most underrated yet important factors in naval warfare. A ship's base durability depends on its hull strength.
For example, a 10% durability modifier would mean that a ship would lose 9 sailors instead of 10 sailors during battle (does not affect damage from attrition). The durability of a ship determines how much damage a ship takes from incoming fire. Ship Durability measures how much of a beating your Navy can take in battle before sinking below the sea. Note that the formula above may slightly vary between certain sea zones. The distance between two sea zones can be found by selecting a naval unit and reading the tooltip that appears when the mouse is hovered over another sea zone or port. With the final value rounded up to the nearest integer. The travel time between two sea zones is determined by: The “ Accomplished Sailor” trait for naval leaders gives +10% movement speed to the fleet which the leader commands. Leader-based modifiers Īn admiral or explorer increases the movement speed of the fleet they are attached to by +5% for each point maneuver skill.Īvailable only with the Rights of Man DLC enabled. Therefore light ships are best at blockading (10 per ship) and galleys next best (8 per ship). Note that the blockade impact of a ship (the amount of trade power it steals when blockading) is also equal to its tactical speed value. So a flagship with the ‘Standardized Signal Book’ modification and completing the Maritime idea group each increase the strategic speed of all ships within the fleet by +1. Hence, you could use light ships to lead your fleet and catch the enemy while waiting for your main fleet to engage, or be sure to keep galleys separate from your main fleet if you want the main fleet not to be held back.Īll movement speed modifiers only affect the strategic speed. Note that the tactical speed is no longer shown in game.įleets will always travel at the strategic speed of their slowest ship. It is not to be confused with tactical speed, which determines the base ship blockade power. The speed values listed for naval units in-game refer to their strategic movement speed, it determines how fast a ship can travel between sea zones on the map.
