Description

These are the most powerful warships in the Spanish fleet. Featuring highly-trained and motivated crew and heavy armaments, Flag Galleons are a match for any other vessel afloat (excepting possibly the mighty Ship of the Line. Flag Galleons are often employed as escorts for the treasure fleet. When not thus occupied they lead attacks against enemy cities and ships throughout the Caribbean.

Like their smaller cousins the War Galleons, Flag Galleons are not designed to exchange long-range cannon-fire with their opponents. They are equipped with huge and well-trained crew, and the commanders are taught to range alongside the enemy, give them one terrible broadside, then board them in the confusion and smoke.

The War Galleon and Fast Galleon are smaller and lighter versions of the same general design.
