Moving to islands in Civilization 4?

Question

Just started playing Civ on my computer and I am trying to attack another army in Civilization IV but the army is on an island. How do I move to an island in this game.

Answer 1

You have to go through a series of technologies to discover sailing. Discover all of the technologies involving water until you can build a galleon or some other vessel. Send a few units over to the island with that, drop them off, go back, and repeat until you have enough units to take the entire island yourself. Have fun and good luck. Hope this helped.

3) Put your troops onto the transport ship and

4) When you get to the enemy continent, select the units on your transport ship and move them onto the land.
