Curraghs are pretty useless for suicide runs, unless you've got seafaring or unless you can see land.

I wonder if they should have an attack and defense of zero.

I find curraghs to be great for scouting and making contact with other civs. And I have made some successful suicide runs with them.

Che - attack of zero, fine. But a defense of zero? Barb galleys can show up pretty quickly, and then your curragh is pretty much useless.

I really don't think curraghs should be able to defeat galleys. It would also make those dang pirates have some point, since usually all they do is crash against my curraghs and die.

Depending on difficulty level and barb settings, curraghs don't survive too long once barb galleys show up.

I remember in the days of Civ1 (actually it was before they even started numbering it) we used to say, "Build a Trireme. If you Try it, you'll get Reamed!" (due to the propensity of them sinking in non-coastal squares).

Just a blast from the past.

I had a Curragh that took-out 6 Barb Galleys. It was kinda cool to have this 2-hp Elite unit sailing around making contact with everyone. Too bad it lost its status when I upgraded it.

Hehe, don't you just love those super-curraghs

Granted, a unit-carrying curragh would be more useful than the 'standard' one, but a seagoing scout is still highly useful (besides, what do you expect for only 15s?). Gives you a bucketload of contacts and nice maps. The 0-attack makes sure OTHER civs don't attacks you until they get galleys. Oh, they can't demand that you retreat from their territory either

In sum, I really like them and feel they give good value for money(well, shields actually).
