In the following images you can see:
So it seems a unit with defensive embarked promotion is easier to sink with a ranged attack than a normal unit (without the promotion)
. Of course you can simply move a naval unit to sink an embarked normal without making a range attack, but this is not the point.
IMO the strength of a unit with defensive embarked promotion should be related to the unit normal strength, or scale with eras. A defensive strength of 5 is only useful against triremes, but is really a penalty vs caravels and modern naval units.
Also, I've attached the savegame of the second screenshot.
EDIT: removed the attached files due to defensive embarkation changes in G&K
- The estimated damage of making a range attack over a embarked unit with no defensive embarked promotion is 4. The defensive strength of the target is calculated as 0. It seems the damage of a range attack over a embarked unit with no defensive embarked promotion is always 4, regardless of the ranged strength of the attacker.
- The estimated damage of making a range attack over a embarked unit with defensive embarked promotion is 10. The defensive strength of the target is calculated as 5, although it's listed as 500 in the hover help text.
