Strategic overview
The mediaeval ancestor of all modern warships, the Galleass (or mavna in Turkish) is the weakest of all the artillery ships available in the game, and can be found mainly in the navies of England, Turkey, Spain, and the Italians, and is a warship propelled with both oars and sails. It's not a very fast unit due to its size and unwieldliness, but it is able to carry several high-calibre guns on board, In addition they also carry broadside guns so they are much harder to take out in battle compared to other warships like the Ketch, but are not as effective in their role as bombardment vessels. 
Still, the addition of oars means that compared to its upgrade, the Bomb Ketch, it has greater agility in turning around in the water, but it is still not the best. The Galleass can be best described as trying to achieve as many objectives as possible, yet failing to master any of them.
If you find that your enemy is ammassing Galleasses, your best recourse is to send for medium or heavy shipping to deal with them. Galleasses are highly powerful units that can punish most smaller watercraft, but perform poorly if attacked by "mainline" units, especially Galleons. For this reason a fleet of Fire Vessels should be on hand to defend your Galleasses whereso available.

==History==
Originally developed from the heavy merchantmen of the Italian states, the galleass was repurposed with the task of carrying heavy guns at the bow and on its broadsides, making it highly flexible and dangerous especially when fighting other warships such as galleys and carracks.
Although it could perform well in battles against lighter craft (such as at Lepanto in 1571), the limitations of the galleass became more apparent in the 17th century as advancements in sailing technology progressed. The galleass eventually became the ancestor of the modern fighting vessel through two different warships — the galleon and the frigate.
Whereas the galleon was primarily a galleass built taller and higher for sea combat and with a full rig of sails, the frigate was based off a lighter variant of the galleass known in Italian as a fregata (literally, "sneaker" or "raider"). The fregata or "frigate galley" was slightly taller than most galleys of its day, yet had broadside guns, a more extensive sailplan (early modern western galleys used the triangular lateen more extensively than the square rig), and could be rowed if needed should the ship be becalmed or in a crisis, ie battle. Eventually, however, the frigate soon lost its oars and became more streamlined in construction,
