They patched it so you cannot block the spawn points for the transports... but you can still block the small gap where they have to pass at the start. Just build a few docks and then put all of their rally points right where the route is and build a bunch of ships. The ships will be created and then block the area meticulously and without gaps. DO NOT TRY TO MOVE YOUR SHIPS AROUND AND DO IT YOURSELF. Human error means you'll leave one or two gaps that the transport can eventually maneuver around and pass. You may have to give up around 10-30 pop space, but it's worth it.

When the transport spawns, the only enemy force that actually does anything is red. They'll start building their base and creating a crapload of ships from their numerous docks. But they won't launch any strong attack so you can just leave them until you boomed and have your own armada.

Grey does not do anything until the first transport arrives so blocking the transport means grey is motionless. The only thing they do is spawn random groups of light cavalry which a castle outside their gate can handle. Take them out with a few chokonus and a castle and you'll have access to their sizeable stores of gold.

Green is absolutely useless. Don't waste your 2000 gold on them. They only have a few ships and their land units are completely useless. Only thing the tribute does is remove their land units dotting the land, and those are relatively tame.

Orange crowds the sea but is not very difficult. A fleet of Galleons will basically kill them all.

Most dangerous are the super towers and the docks they guard. Kill the ship sfirst, which is slow going but possible. THen use a small fleet to distract the towers while a large number of cannon galleons take care of them. Long, but a viable strategy.

Far to the east is a small village which you can use to trade with and get a relic from. Easy enough.

Far to the north is where you can see a village dedicated to dragon ships. Tribute 100 gold to get 1 dragon ship. Tribute 1000 gold and they will spawn 10 with some lag between each. Not bad.

When I defeated Red, I basically had 20,000 gold left over so that wasn't an issue. Trading with the village was 100 gold per cart... Since grey was defeated I had that entire land to myself.
