Sadly not the great naval battle I anticipated. Instead you get an seemingly endless stream of land armies grinding your base down while you mostly need to focus on naval battle. And they seem to not even care that much the transport ships!

This was just too stressful for me.

I rushed to Imp, researched some useful technologies (like chemistry for cannon galleons), build up a great navy and then abandoned my base, rescueing the left over villagers and troops inside the walls of the temple complex. AI does not attack the walls so this is fine.

With my great navy I grinded down my enemies navies, defeated the Wu Navy and destroyed any enemy dock I could find. The most dangerous enemy in the end game (when you build the temple) is red as he trains trebuchets and mangonels, but you can destroy both of his castles and siege workshops from the sea with cannon galleons. As he has no villagers he can not rebuild anything. Chu Ko Nus are great for killing any left over siege engines especially because the enemies do not use many ranged units. Red is also the only one with a minor navy, but watch out for his demolition ships as they can tear apart your navy rather quickly. You should therefor use mostly galleons for fire ships are mostly useless.

I paid the pirates but it was unnecessary as they did not do that much damage considering I paid 2000 gold for them and they only destroyed some ships and buildings my navy could handle at far less losses. You can invest this much better for ships and naval technology.

I did not do the dragon ship quest as it was not safe for any of my units to move outside of the temple complex.
