This is the same game that had the Egyptian conscript horseman. My suicide galleys finally paid off, and I made contact with the Portugese two turns ago. Looking at the mini-map, you can just see three Portugese cities, to give you an idea of their location. All of a sudden, here comes Henry's galley along my coast. Catt, or anybody else, please give me an alternate explanation if there is one. Until then, I'm sticking with a seafaring civ using a suicide galley (Portugal has the lighthouse, but not education, therefore no astronomy, btw).

Mightn't it be galley teleportation?Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

You have no knowledge of the nature of most of the water near where the galley appeared (nor indeed whether there is land just just outside your visible coastline). When your map knowledge improves as you play further into the game, post another screenie and I'll bet there is a safe sea route requiring a crossing of no more than 4 ocean tiles.
Teleporation is possible, too, but I'd still lay strong odds that there is a safe route for a GL-powered seafaring civ.

aye id definately agree with Catt.
playing a game atm on large archipelo, ive mapped all the major islands in the world, tis only as the AI is getting into Industrail ages that they've started sending out Ships. although on one of my aborted attempts (im playing Sid) which required the use of my timeship, the AI did send a galley with a settler to my island before it was fully developed. i cant remember if GL was in play then (it was turn 110) but the distance between our homelands is 3-4 ocean tiles and around 6-8 sea tiles.
mind u after i used my time ship to go back and readjust my REXing i never saw any AI ships untill lately (circa turn 200)

Pea Soup, that's got to be it.
Actually, I forgot about the GL and seafaring bonus and was thinking of the galley as four move. Turns out there's a peninsula in the far north that sticks out unusually far, giving just enough room to cross.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran Siddiqui
