Surprisingly bad units

[QuintusSertorius]

I don't know if it's been built into the mod/game, but when the pirate fleets that was docked for decades of france deicded to sweep through the med, I sent my massive fleets of Quinqrieme and Quadriemes to defeat them and low and behold my Navies were sent to the bottom of the sea. Then when my backup fleets of Triremes and liburnes came they managed to hand the pirates their a**es to them. And then the greatest shock, a pentecontarii or whatevers it's called and a trireme defeat 10:1 odds to win....and then a larger fleet came for revenge which annoyed me.

For that reason I suggest Quadremes and Quinqremes. Giant wastes of money. You'd be better of with liburnes which seem to cut through any fleet and are half the upkeep and quicker to build.

I guarantee that's more a feature of your campaign difficulty (which skews auto-calc) than the quality of the ships.

remember liburines and those other ships were made by wrecked pirate ships and remade 2 be superior
in the text it describes them as wrecked pirate ships converted to hunt pirates
so usually it does its juob
quinquiremes and quadririmes are just giant battle rams that can own any conventional ship
pirate ships arent conventional btw XD
