Hi all.
stefaneke is right, galleons are not trading ships of traditional wiews, but a heavy combo of a warshíp and armed merchantman. They where used by Spain and Portugal to transport cargoes of imense value from South and Middle America to Iberia, and save from the Dutch and Pirates that was.
But as I hear this it sounds like a collection of people whining about the game not being a cakewalk. Now Now, lets ask a question. How many heavy first rates of the line does people use as e.g. GB or France or Spain? The correct answer should be ONE, and that only as Spain, Santísima Trinidad, is her name. Now talk about navies and ships being used in wrong ways.
