The Galley is the standard Heavy Ship of the Classical Age, built and upgraded at the Dock. Like all Heavy Ships, it is strong against Light Ships and Bombardment Ships and weak against Fire Ships and Submarines.

The Galley attacks with the same method as the Trireme, though it has more range due to the presence of better artillery weapons of the Classical Age]] and more armor due to advances in armor technology.

Production

Production cost for this unit increases progressively with every Dock unit on the field or currently in production. However, the maximum cost for Galley is capped at 90 Timber / 90 Metal. Actual production and upgrading costs may differ, depending on researched technologies, connected rare resources, or adopted governments.
