Yeah, especially here where the map is very Galley-friendly in that there’s a lot of coastal tiles for getting around. You should not be able to boat a city from the fog with a Galley, but here we are.

With a 4 move galley it might be possible for us to fork Constantinople and Adrianople, or possibly even Constantinople and his copper city. If we have a spare chariot we might look for an opportunity to pillage his horse if he has to divert military from his west to deal with our galley, or at least tie down forces protecting the Nicaea site to stretch him further and keep him on the back foot.
I stuck the new Chariot on board. I cooked this up as an idea before I even decided to make a run at Nicaea, which you noticed awhile ago with signs. Realistically though, I have extremely low expectations from this expedition. I fully expect Yuris will have a Spear in his front cities now that I have taught him a tough lesson on the axe reliance. But that won’t stop me from taking a peek just to find out. That said, if he sends all his units straight at me, I may have to unload it and leave it home anyway. That’s ok though - the mere act of having a Galley hovering on his coast is enough to force him to defend his homeland, which is that many more units he cannot send at me. So if the Galley turns into just a bluff, that’s OK too.
