Their +4 range upgrade gives them the chance to attack everything, including towers, from a save distance, and if your island is small, there will be almost no spot to which you can retreat.

Your situation is fatal if Hittite ships are attacking you. They will hold back land invasions and give you time to recover (hopefully). If you can hold your island, defend it heavily with towers and a few priests. Do not forget to build a transport - if you have an ally, he might keep the enemy busy if you are forced to leave the island and start over with building up your civilization in an exile. If he does not have many ships left either, you can rebuild your fleet from there. If you do not have siege weapons yet, you will not be able to hold it if your enemy finds it, though.

The best way to strike back is to build a dock at a different part of the island, protected by a tower.

Use them only if a ship is busy attacking something and already severly damaged or if you have a a longer range (either due to better upgrades or because you are standing on top of a hill).

They have far less hitpoints than ships, with a comparable range. By the time it is finished, it will be the sole survivor of your fleet and be killed instantly.Īnother mistake is to use bowmen against ships. The worst one is to build another ship at the dock when your ships are hopelessly outnumbered. There are some common newbie mistakes against naval attacks.
