Naval units | Army TW: Rome II Guide

Melee ship
As you might guess, these ships are used to board enemy units. The on-board units are often your elite troops, capable to quickly defeat weaker armored and equipped sailors.
Missile ship
On board of these ships you'll find archers, spearmen, slingers and small war machines. Their task is to kill enemy crew from a distance or set the enemy ship on fire and destroy it completely.
Artillery ship
Here you'll find heavy war machines, such as ballista or onagers. Concentrated fire of several artillery ships can quickly destroy even biggest units available in the game.
Transport ship
The weakest armored and armed units in the game - their only strength are soldiers on-board. A transported unit of triarii can be extremely effective during boarding. Unfortunately, their vulnerability to ramming is huge - one good hit means death of your elite soldiers.
