The '''War Galley''' is a ranged warship built at the [[Military Docks]]. It attacks from 6 m and fights through the same combat rules as land units.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 20, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 2.5 seconds between attacks (about 8.0 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 6 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Ranged:''' yes. The damage is applied at the moment the attack fires; the arrow that flies to the target is a visual effect, so a shot cannot miss once it is fired.
* '''Against buildings:''' 25% of its damage. Only siege units (other than the Ballista) deal full damage to buildings.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' as a ranged unit, its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]] and by the '''ranged''' damage bonus of the owner's [[Callings|Calling]].
* '''Damage type:''' Ranged. In the current build the damage type is a label shown on the unit panel; it does not change the damage dealt (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Military Docks]].
* '''Cost:''' 75 gold, 175 wood. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.
* '''Train time:''' 50 seconds. Training-speed bonuses from the owner's [[Callings|Calling]] and [[Disciplines]] shorten it; no unit trains in under 0.5 seconds.
* '''Population:''' 2. Training is refused when living units plus everything already queued in all of the player's buildings, plus this unit, would pass the population cap.
* A building holds at most 5 units in its training queue.

== Notes ==
* Its role in the game data is '''Ranged''', so it receives the ranged damage bonus of a Calling.
* Ships move only on water, and training is refused when the dock has no navigable water within reach.
* Population 2.
