Kamikaze galleys are only used by humans. The AI won't.

I find a more interesting option is to delay contact trading. In my mod, I put this ability way out in Navigation.

I had one that took 3 turns in Ocean squares to sink...

In my mod, I put it out even later, in radio. Map-trading comes with navigation. This way, when your caravels begin to finally explore the world, your neighbours will still be forced to go to the other continents to talk to these people. It gives a definitive whoring bonus to the first Civ who explores

Also, to expand the age of sail, you can do the same with ironclads. Make them wheeled and set only coastal tiles passable to wheels.

hi ,

another good early way to prevent contact , either calculate where the AI's galley shall be and put your own ship there , or put two or three in a row on the coast to prevent them from past sailing there , ...

I'll have to give that a try. It sounds good.

I delayed contact trading too, until Steam Engine.
