As hammer ships, Ramming Galleys deal a large amount of hack damage and have high crush armor, making them very strong against Siege Ships. In groups, they are also better than other ship types against naval myth units, whose hack armor is generally lower than their pierce or crush. When Heroic Fleet has been researched, they become decent at defeating naval myth units. Since there are no naval heroes in the game except Poseidon's Argo, this is an important role for them.
Triremes are critical in gaining control of water as they are the only warship available in the Classical Age. They are also effective in sinking enemy Transport Ships. Once in the Heroic Age they will need support from other warships in order to be effective. They deal bonus damage against Hammer Ships and Transport Ships. Siege Ships will destroy them easily. Naval myth units and coastal siege weapons are also a large threat.

Like other ramming ships, Ramming Galleys are weaker than other warships and are easily sunk. They are vulnerable to archer ships due to their low pierce armor. Any defenses on the shore should be avoided as well. Their exceptional speed makes taking evasive action easy.

As hammer ships, Ramming Galleys deal a large amount of hack damage and have high crush armor, making them very strong against Siege Ships. In groups, they are also better than other ship types against naval myth units, whose hack armor is generally lower than their pierce or crush. When Heroic Fleet has been researched, they become decent at defeating naval myth units. Since there are no naval heroes in the game except Poseidon's Argo, this is an important role for them.

Like other ramming ships, Ramming Galleys are weaker than other warships and are easily sunk. They are vulnerable to archer ships due to their low pierce armor. Any defenses on the shore should be avoided as well. Their exceptional speed makes taking evasive action easy.

History

"While many galleys had stationary rams on their bows, the Greeks also developed a moveable weapon known as a dolphin. This heavy lead or bronze weight was swung from a boom on the ship's mast and was used like a flail to puncture holes in enemy hulls. The Romans would later improve on this design and develop the corvus, a spiked weapon that double as a boarding ramp."
