    We need to persevere and hope and pray someone will answer.
    Easier than that: someone reads through this thread and compiles a neat list of questions about naval combat, navies and such for CA (I can do that, or the OP, or trongill, or anybody else), then the person in question post the thread with the answers as OP and we bump it daily so CA can see, questions can also be added. So it will be easy for CA to find it, read all the questions and answer.

    Deal then, I'll start collecting the info we have and can deduce so far and will create a thread in the next hour or so. I'll check if someone else has created a thread before I post mine, no need to split our efforts.

But if they do put the transport ships in battle cavalry, chariots etc. will probably be dismounted and not particularly good. However I do wonder how they will handle disembarking such troops, if they do this.

    Edit: I really wish CA would answer such questions, we know armies will build their own transport ships and be able to cross water without using a navy, we now that land and sea battles will be mixed, we know that you can disembark men from military ships, but we have no idea how the whole transport thing is gonna work in such situations! What happens if I use an army that is on its transport ships alone to attack a city? What happens in a sea battle when you have an army on transport and a fleet protecting them? What happens if an army on transports alone gets attacked by a navy? Can a navy attack an army on the coast, without an army to help it, and can an army attack a fleet near the coast, without a navy to help it? Are transport ships gonna be in battle? If so, how is cavalry and mounted troops in general going to be handled? It's just confusing right now!
    well but we have already seen transportships sailing and disembarking so theyll be in battles for sure, its a shame there were not any carthaginian ships there to interact with them for us to draw some conclusions from.. and the romans brought only men and cav (which we didnt see disembark from the ships) but so far only saw 1 type of transport ship but im suspecting there will be a second "bune" like ship that opens in the front to let larger things out instead of them just jumping over the edge lol i mean think about transporthing siege equipment and you can already picture some funny things..
    However i can imagine it somewhat works like the cav/gen mechanic in shogun 2 or dragoons in earlier tws, in which the horse or in this case ships have become mounts and you can dismount and leave them there, but still use them while mounted which means theyll be able to partake in battles, and probably in the case of transportships will be very restricted in their combat abilities, theyll probably be a bit slow, vulnerable to missile fire and weak to ramming, those kinds of things..
