Hi, is there any tip on how the transport ships work (if work at all in the dev version)? Trying with the carrack which seem to be the highest tear of transport ships. No idea how to load units to transfer them quicker or at least across the ocean without loosing them.

Thanks.

As in all civ-like games, land units 'transform' into boats upon contact with water after necessary tech is researched. In this Open Dev these are Trade expeditions for 2-mp boats that can only move along coast and 3-mp boats after researching Three-masted ships.

Actually, this is a functionality that wasn't added until Civ 5. Prior to Civ 5, units required a transport, including in Civilization 4 (widely considered the apex of the series).

Ok, so when I will be able to move units across the ocean? They will die basically after three turn in deep waters.... There is just one "land" bridge in this scenario....

I thought that when a boat in description is a transport it will help with this....

BTW many thanks for your posts!
