its possible without update. Crucial is defence on the bridge and a massive economy (you have 1000 of wood at the start and 200 pop limit, i built 10 fishing ships, later build traps and not fishing on the open sea). You dont have chance defeat first wawes of enemy navy with yours,so built and upgarade towers, masonry, architecture, guard tower and keep don"t cost stone and with heated shots and full of archers is very powerful against ships. On the bridge, use gbetos, they have ranged attack but do hand to hand damage, mangonels are good to.

For attack is navy better option, use demoships to destroy some docks and attack with 30+ galleons and 6+ cannons, when attacking fortifications, send galleos forward as a bait and CG will destroyy them quicky. Bad is, that you have only one attemp to succed with attack.

For me,the naval battles with Venetia in lombard league was much harder.
