When attacking from the sea, make sure your landing force is protected with Triremes. Before you land your forces, make sure you have a wide and secure path to prevent massive casualties during unloading. A good unit for softening up the enemy coastal defense is the Juggernaught.

Naval Guerilla Tactics: Sending ships out for quick strikes early in the game is a great way to wear your opponent down. Even Scout Ships can cause havoc if used effectively in the game's beginning stages - to shoot Villagers you see passing by, or destroy Fishing Boats and Docks. If your enemy has been so unwise as to construct buildings within range of sea attacks, these make excellent guerilla targets as well. And if your opponent manages to get a counterattack going, just have the ships retreat or move to another location.

When playing on a single-or-multiple-player, random map with small or large islands, you may wish to play the Greek, Hittite, Minoan, Persian, Phoenician, or Yamato cultures. They have various advantages with boats.

Try doing a villager or axeman rush right at the start of a game. It often catches the enemy off guard.
