Are there any buyable perks at all for naval units? They always get outclassed so quickly, and even high-level galleons die quickly to krakens and sea serpents.

I don't think I've been able to give any of those to ships.

The reconstruct spell doesn't seem to work on them either (nor on undead as it says it does - I've yet to be able to heal undead in any way). Or I'm clueless - very possible!

I am sure reconstruct works at my ships.

the unit type of ships is "ship" not "construct".
but i can confirm that reconstruct works on ships.

i can also confirm that adamantium armor and university education do NOT work on ships. i can upgrade my units with it, but not my ship.

Who needs ships, when you can get waterwalking or flying units?

This. Ships are incredibly overpriced compared to land units of equal strength.

It's worth noting that the flying undead ships are classed as constructs, while oceangoing ships are classed as ships. The flying undead ships can be upgraded with adamantium armor, university education, dwarven steel and master of war, as well as masterwork armor.

Ships need some serious love to compete with waterwalking and flying units.

I have tried the flying galleons a couple times. They kinda suck without upgrades or a few levels but once you get them going they are pretty nice.

The problem is the sea serpents are WAY too strong for starting naval units.
