How to add a simple navy

[xox 339]

Lukasz could make the navy same as the soldier on land, but the navy can't go anywhere on land, the combat could be the same as the soldier's combat but the sword slashing is redesigned into navals shooting at each other, I think this is the simplest idea for a navy

Transporting troops and army thru the sea at early stages of ship research will be dangerous. To safely transport them you will need to research better types of ships like caravela.

Even simpler, we could have a boolean that is just "is_naval = true" that makes the unit only able to move in ocean provinces, or coastal provinces with a port.

If the unit is not naval (or air?), it has a penalty to fight in the sea (like 25% or 30%? Imagine like, a bunch of swordsmen on a rowboat trying to fight a warship). No need to add transport ships.

Otherwise the combat works just like on land, with frontline (destroyers, light cruisers), back line (battleships, heavy cruisers) and support (naval bombers, submarines, etc).

If that doesn't come in the normal game, maybe we can mod it in somehow?
