EB naval warfare

[Fluvius Camillus]

Being a great fan of island empires, I currently use my large Makedonian fleet to sink Carthaginian reinforcement shipments. I've already drowned one Qarthadastim FM . I've also chased pirates even in the Baltic sea. Oh, and that is with RTW exe.

I think a navy of a certain size is vital if you really want to control the Mediterranean. Besides, as a "civilized" faction you will literally swim in money soon enough. Better use it for navies (Nees Megistai FTW) than let it corrupt your FMs.

Lol I'd rather built one Pentere or one Trieremiolai, good cost/effectivity ratio. Sinks 3 group pirates easily, then retrain. Also handy as transport because you will rarely encounter a force stronger than yours.

The pirates aren't that much of a problem (It's just that I hate them and pursue them everywhere), but the Ptolies are. They usually build some Nees Megistai, which can pose a real threat to your regular fleets. Although of course the Trieremiolai are the most cost-effective ships (for the Romaioi it's the Covered Liburnes).

Indeed, covered Liburnes really are awesome ships!

it's handy to have a strong navy around, it makes troop deployment a LOT faster, and safely.
