oh thats cool :) ive been thinking if its somehting to do with who is attacking cos as far as i can remeber its always the AI attacking me.

wait a minute u mean the AI landing troops!! so i cant leave all those port cities unguarded now? :P

well with regard to galleys being usless i guess the AI doesnt use them to its advantage so they appear useless. the ability of the galley to be independatn of wind directions and highly menouverable is real advantage if used properly. of course this need a alot of micro managing and pausing
