Would the Cart's be the only threat by sea invasion. would we ever need a defensive galley fleet?

Platy, fortunately the AI has no real ability to launch seaborne raids. From my experience it tends to send like 4 units or something at a time - which is useless and easy to dismiss. (Something with the AI deciding each galley needs 3 or so frigates to protect it ...) So, we're safe from them once we clear off Spain ... although I still vote for razing their major cities anyway. Perhaps it's just my tendency to emulate history ...
