Combat & Battle
Combat moves through spying, fleet battle, siege damage, loot, and conquest pressure.
Combat is about choosing the right mix of spying, attack power, defense, cargo capacity, Fire Ships, and Flagbearer Ships for your goal.
Spy-only attacks focus on information. Mixed attacks use Spy Ships as normal low-combat ships. Regular attacks compare the attacking fleet against stationed defenders, supporting ships, port strength, and Port Defenses. If the attacker wins, surviving capacity can carry loot, Fire Ships can damage Port Defenses, and surviving Flagbearers can create conquest pressure.
