The damage output of galleys and fire ships makes NO SENSE

And that’s why too much realism isn’t good. First you want to make ships so expensive that it will be too hard to get them and on top of that you want to make them one shottable? That’s just nonsense. Also i don’t know how this would improve the enjoyment of anyone.

Well it wouldn’t be one shottable. it would be a chance to be one hit. Perhaps something like a 1/20 chance of cannonballs doing one shot crit damage. if that’s too much, then crit damage thats a significant chunk of the ships health?

There is a reason the community has hated boats in this game for 20 years, its broken, boats are not fun and if you win 1 water battle you have the water, not really possible to bounce back. AOE3 despite being a weaker game in general had a much better boat combat system.
