I got the optics tech and I can embark my troops into the sea so they can go onto islands and such, but damn they're slow. And completely vulnerable. Can you load your land units onto sea units? I know you could do this on civ rev but it doesn't appear to work in civ 5.
Not to my knowledge, in later techs they can hold their own a little better. Its best to have a ship scouting + protecting them if you can. Its always a risk though.
Yeah, you can't. I either send them through seas I know are safe, escort them, or convoy so many it doesn't matter if one or two don't make it.
If I'm playing on a map with a lot of water - which I usually do - I do whatever I can to achieve naval superiority, and then you can move embarked units with impunity.
