In my personal (and probably uneducated) opinion the real problem is the schooners card. 40 wood for a vill? That is just stupid. I agree with gs that it should supplement the land eco not replace it. If boats always cost 100 wood whales would not be as big of a deal and harder to lame with 4 docks...

And people arguing water is OP or lame if you win that way... if its so strong, use it .. +1000 ! Just to say, on water map u can play brit, jap, port ( for boom) and azteck , india and spain vs boom. 6 civ are ok / 12 ( consider oto ans iro unplayable, but they are good on water ).when i read that...

It''s not the unfairness that''s the problem, water is not even that good in most match ups. It''s the separation of the players and the non-interactive play it promotes.

Saturday : 8-13 GMT
Sunday : 8-13 GMT
(Finish max at 13 gmt)

We will play friday , probably at 16 gmt

Not really :/ , i can monday and friday. 16 - 22 . Other days, it'll be hard for me.

East Indiamen (dock + fishing boats cost -30% ) is a good choice too :p
300w for rush . Not really a good strat , but this may be surprising...

An evening next week would be ok for me...
