Hey all,
I just recently discovered just what an impact running half a dozen Ironclads with Leo's, Sun Tzu's and Magellan's will do to soften up the enemy. I usually like to turtle on my own island, tech up then bring 4 transports full of armor and mech. inf to conduct continent-wide blitzkrieg on the enemy. This time, I started with more of an emphasis on exploring and man does it make a difference.
The Ironclads/Destroyers scout out almost the entire map and shell the enemy coastline until ground forces arrive. Then it's clear out all defenders with the ironclad and take the city with no resistance. I can't believe I waited this long to figure out how cool these ships are.... especially Vet Destroyers that can move 8 spaces each turn!
Are there any other naval strategies anyone can share?
The other one I do is bribe all pirate barbarian landing party boats and use them as my own.
