Blockading a port does not prevent naval recruitment, but if the port is unoccupied and your forces raid this will damage the facility and prevent recruitment. However, unlike commerce raiding no income is earned by the blockading.
Broadly speaking, there are five roles that fleets need to fill in the game.īlockading a trade port prevent all trade through the port so it is very effective, and if the port is unoccupied it is raided and damaged. However, Great Britain, Spain, France or the United Provinces will live or die by their ability to bring trade goods back from overseas colonies, so will have to fill more diverse roles with their navies. For example, a faction with a strong focus on a single global region, like Austria, Prussia, Russia or Poland-Lithuania will not have much need for fleets in the early game. Fleets cannot gain territory, so their role is more strategic in terms of supporting the overall position of a faction. In the game, armies exist to capture and defend provinces which are the core to a faction’s existence. The strategic context has more impact on naval battles than it does on land battles and this will be explored briefly in the guide. Where possible it will avoid restating information that is readily available in other places, and instead focus on data that is somewhat hidden from view, but has a meaningful impact on the units. The aim of this guide is to explain the role of different types of ships in battle and how to get the best out of them. This guide provides an overview of the use of naval forces in the campaign as well as some useful comparison information which is unavailable to the player through the game.
