Fleets can be bought only at a city that is directly in contact with the water. They will cost 500 per fleet, with 60 upkeep in ports, and 120 upkeep in the open water. They can move at 500 km per turn, and will move in the same fashion as infantry. You can blockade a port city, cutting its trade income by 3/4. Each fleet can hold 2000 men, or 1000 cavalry. (for some combos, thats like 1500 men, and 250 cav, or maybe 1000 men and 500 cavalry). You pick up troops at a port, and can drop them off at any specified coast or city. The morale runs te same as for infantry, If more than 1/2 of the navy is sunk at once, the navy retreats. If less than 1/4 are remaining of those who started the battle, the navy retreats.
The battles here are also pretty simple. I will roll a six sided die for each fleet of each armada, and 5's and 6's will sink an enemy ship. 1-4 will not do any damage. There will only be three rounds of combat for the navy. If the battle is a draw (neither side retreats or is decimated), they both stay put. If it isnt, the winning navy proceeds for its destination, and the losing navy heads for the nearest friendly port. If ships are lost, a cooresponding amount of passengers aboard the ships are lost as well. They will not be lost, however, if the rest of the armada can accomodate that many more passengers, they are not to exceed carrying capacity. (5 fleets lost in a 10 fleet armade carrying 20k people. only 10k soldiers are left in the armada. If there are only 10,000 people on the armada to begin with, the 5 remaining fleets can accomodate all of them.)
For example:
Roman Armada vs Carthaginian Armada.
(Rome)3 fleets vs. (Carthage) 5 fleets.
romans roll 6, 5, and 6.
(So, they have destroyed half the Carthaginian fleet, but the Carthaginians still get to attack, and still have a good chance of winning, as they need only destroy two Roman ships to win.)
Carthaginians roll 4, 3, 2, 5, and 1
(This means they only destroy one Roman fleet before being defeated.)
(The Roman Armada has 2 fleets now, and the Carthaginians have 2 fleets also. But since Carthage has lost more than half of the armada, they retreat, giving Rome the victory.)
Naval Options:
-build fleet
-sail fleets
-blockade port
