Stupid question - defense

Stupid question, will my "navy" defend my town on it's own or do I have to give orders somehow? I have two armies retaliating and will be at my port in 35 minute, by then my troops will be back(18 slingers) and I will have a few more ready before they arrive. I have one Ram and 1 Ballista in my port. They are only sending 8 slingers each.

They will auto-defend like your troops in town would.

Re: Stupid question - defense

A logical offshoot of the original question:

I still don't have the capability to build phalanxes (I want embassies damnit!) so should I opt for ballista ships for defense instead of slingers? Not only will they defend against all pillages without warships, but they have the resistance bonus as well.

Re: Stupid question - defense

If the people on your island are peaceful towards you, then I would get at least one Ballista to stop overseas pillaging. I currently have 2 rams, 2 balistas, 30 slingers, 4 swordsmen, and 1 phalanx......quiet-peaceful and my neighbors are leaving me alone..
