Merc Cog (convenient) and Caraval (easy travel to new world) are both useful for their respective functions. The Grande Carrack is also good for combat. The other ships are basically just the same, distinguished insignificantly in combat value that can be compensated by numbers.
I hate naval operations in this game. So I voted for Pirate Ships, because they just try to kill everyone's navy and if the pirates ruled the water I wouldn't have to worry about Scotland sailing to Bruges.
I voted for the pirate ships too, even though they are 100x less annoying than the pirates in empire
Cry God for Harry, England and Saint George!
Spot on+1 Empire should be renamed Pirate Total War. Waay too many of them and the naval battles themselves are a real yawner
At least the Med 2 pirates have the common decency to realise they're unworthy scum not worth fighting and thus only offer themselves up for destruction with a single autoresolve mouse click.![]()
Dragon Boats!
The Grande Carrack is the best ship of all, and the Gun Holks are also very capable, but when it comes down to it, you just can´t say no to a real Viking-style war vessel ^::^
It´s just too bad they can´t cross the atlantic in the game (as they could, and totally did, in reality) - imagine if Denmark would be the first faction able to go to the New world. That would make the AI danes a little more interesting...

Long Ship
just something about them, feels very Viking, esp sailing them around the baltic and conquering new lands this way. OR launching your invasion of the British Isles -- esp early on, nothing like having your norse swordsmen, huskarls, and norse archers devaste all within their path (like to be the pitiful bands of militias the English/Scots always have in the beginning )
Dromon
Byzantine Empire is unleashed!
protect ur coast
OMG: now i see the Fire ship selection,this one is far better than dromon but nvm u start with dromon to recruit later Fire Ships..

Dragon and longships love filling them with axe men and sending them on raiding parties lol
Aggh... I have 3 equally favorite.. the Iberian Grande Carrack, the Danish Dragon Boat, and the Byzantine Fire Ship...
Pirates. Perfect for getting rid of exceptionally fail heirs...![]()
