So I have a question regarding naval battles involving stacks of miscellaneous ships. I've read the bits in other forums talking about how speed is effected by stacked ships etc. And I was wondering how the cpu decides what ships sink etc.
What prompted me to ask was a battle involving maybe 9 Egyptian ships and 7 of my Denmark ships. I can't remember the Egyptian ships but there were 7 of the small; speed 3 attack 1 defense 1 ships, and 2 of the baroque counterparts with something like speed 2 attack 2 defense 2 all in one big stack off the coast of Egypt. I had built 7 Caravels for the express purpose of clearing the coast of Africa to land mole armies (armies sent to destroy provinces, not just to win battles) in Tripoli, Egypt, Palestine etc. I sent my 7 against their 9 and they sunk ALL of my ships...without losing one of theirs.
This seemed odd to me.
Especially considering I had just spent 7,000 florins to habitat the bottom of the freaking ocean. Since then I've had several other naval battles with lots of different ships in different stacks and they seem to be going well...I'm wondering if there's a strategy to it.
Thanks
