Galleon is way too strong in vanilla game in my opinion. To make it less tank-ish I decided to nerf it a bit to make it fit in with other ships of pre-Frigate era better. It's still the toughest and strongest ship of that period of time, just not as strong as it used to be.
In detail, I:
- removed warship attribute
- lowered hull and sails to 500
- raised max crew to 150 and minimal crew to 30 to increase cost
- lowered cannon range to 880 from 1100
- switched from heavy to medium cannons
To use the change you need to paste the following snippet to your \East India Company\Data\AI\shiptypes.txt file instead of whatever is there currently in the Galleon section.
