I had a 14 cannon ship and 2 gun boats shooting a single gun boat and the little boat took around 3 bursts of cannons shooting at it to decide to surrender, while in the other hand, my own gun boat gave up on the second burst of a single corvette. I've had a battle where i had 3 ships shooting at a single enemy ship and the enemy didn't flee, it actually made my 3 ships flee instead. I find my ships usually running away too soon.
I tried looking on Youtube to look for some kind of Naval Tutorial but usually it's just 8 years old videos of players judging multiplayer battles and not someone really showing how to make the units fight properly. I manage to make them fire some times and they completely destroy the enemies, but usually i have to make them stop just at the side of the enemy boats and HOPE that they will want to shoot.
Whenever i make them attack a specific enemy they tend to move to another position and lose too much time being fired at before firing at the enemy.īomb boats usually are the ones that almost never work. I try to set them to keep moving forward and let them shoot automaticaly and almost always they tend to shoot way too later than the enemy and not use all of the archers. I feel like my boats take too much time to attack the enemy whenever i am in control.
