It's just a little rabbit!

As for the 5 5th rates taking on 20 galleons, anything is possible but I would say ill advised in this version. I would recommend as the minimum force; 6 3rd rates and 2 5th rates...

I said five 3rd rates, not 5th rates . You're absolutely right that using 5th rates against all those galleons would be very tough indeed

He said it was in 1722 as well. Who has access to 3rd rates in 1722? Who, even, has access to that many galleons in 1722 (besides Spain, obviously)?

I mean, if you got lucky with your agent spawns and researched nothing but naval tech, yeah, but as the UP that probably wouldn't be a good idea.

Indeed you did! Not easy but doable.

I guess these poor old eyes are failing me.


And if Spain has that many galleons lurking they don’t have any troops....hint, hint....

well I reached 1740, I got steam power, and by the way I've never really made the steam drydock for steam ships, in fact this is the first game I've ever made any, I build the steam drydock, for the heavy first rate, because while rather unrealistic (most nations only ever built the 74 gunners, or at least that was the main battleship of fleets) it is so damn fun! plus it takes a hell of a beating, which gives other ships more of a chance. The Dutch Navies first real fleet is 1 First Heavy Rate, 2 First Rates, 3 Razees and 2 steamships, I'll see how that works, its very hard to tell because all the campaign map unit cards are all so COMPLETELY WRONG! you have to exit your campaign and load up a battle to actually figure out what a units stats are, very irritating! (you'd think they could do a patch to like maybe fix that major omission!
