Generally I very much like the increased challange of RTR Platinum (1.9 modswitch), but naval battles seem to be unwinnable. I have had number Trireme and Quadriieme fleets (4-5 at a go) sunk by single pirates. I have tried sending the ships to the armoury but also no dice - i have single strenth 2 pirate ships sinking entire fleets (as the Secluids, btw). What am I doing wrong? Can't imagine it is intended..
Would this problem be solved with the "Metro Naval"?
Also, I am always a bit irritated that the unit movement and construction IMO is much too slow, does metro naval fix this=?
Also, am I right in persuming that there are no catapults at all in RTR platinum? Can't seem to find them...
cheers
