Lepanto campaign mission, help me with a viable strategy

[kinkerbel]

Uhm so my naval game is pretty bad, i keep getting transports slipping trough. Anyone have some good tips and tricks for this mission?

i wonder: would the ai be smart enough to destroy walls if you wall of the beach?

other than that: you can win even if you let all turkish units on your island, used to do that as a kid to have a fun (but hard at least for me back then) fight, make bombardtowers and try to use counters to their units

Luckily it ended up being real easy with massing elite cannon galeons. They were both really efficient cleaning up my own land as well as cleaning up enemy production buildings. I think what went wrong on my first run was mostly that i did not focus on anything and had to many villagers.

Yep, forward isle castles, walling the beach, cannon galleons galleons and fire ships and no wonder built, instead storming the turkish side.
Pretty fun

Not at all smart enough. That's one of the easiest ways to cheese the scenario, just completely wall off the beach, and your starting Navy is good enough to defeat the Turkish warships.

Is your starting navy really that strong... I remember it being only a few heavy demo ships...
Anyway, that scenario is pretty good as I remember it. :)

thanks for this, this campaign mission was driving me nuts. i ended up just spamming heavy cannon galleons and destroyed every turkish structure before even building my wonder. it was easy mode at that point.
