Never mind on this one, I think I figured it out while searching the library. The ship's range value is the number of "steps" to touch land. A coastal sea region touches land, and is open to any ship with a range of 1. A sea region that doesn't touch land, but does touch a coastal sea region, requires a range of 2 to enter. And so on. I assume range also determining sinkability by storms, but wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't.

19. Morale on the field of battle. There are morale penalties assessed to units when nearby friendly units rout. Any idea what "nearby" means, distance-wise? The penalties assessed for unit casualties, are those applied based on the full-strength size of the unit, or what they go into battle with?
