The durability of a ship determines how much damage a ship takes from incoming fire. Ship Durability measures how much of a beating your Navy can take in battle before sinking below the sea. Note that the formula above may slightly vary between certain sea zones. The distance between two sea zones can be found by selecting a naval unit and reading the tooltip that appears when the mouse is hovered over another sea zone or port. With the final value rounded up to the nearest integer. The travel time between two sea zones is determined by: The “ Accomplished Sailor” trait for naval leaders gives +10% movement speed to the fleet which the leader commands. Leader-based modifiers Īn admiral or explorer increases the movement speed of the fleet they are attached to by +5% for each point maneuver skill.Īvailable only with the Rights of Man DLC enabled. Therefore light ships are best at blockading (10 per ship) and galleys next best (8 per ship). Note that the blockade impact of a ship (the amount of trade power it steals when blockading) is also equal to its tactical speed value. So a flagship with the ‘Standardized Signal Book’ modification and completing the Maritime idea group each increase the strategic speed of all ships within the fleet by +1. Hence, you could use light ships to lead your fleet and catch the enemy while waiting for your main fleet to engage, or be sure to keep galleys separate from your main fleet if you want the main fleet not to be held back.Īll movement speed modifiers only affect the strategic speed. Note that the tactical speed is no longer shown in game.įleets will always travel at the strategic speed of their slowest ship. It is not to be confused with tactical speed, which determines the base ship blockade power. The speed values listed for naval units in-game refer to their strategic movement speed, it determines how fast a ship can travel between sea zones on the map.
