That is actually the best way to use the fish traps--not on an open ocean but on a pond, whether on an inland map or one with large bodies of water. As for being broken, I disagree. Look at the Malay army. Their cavalry are tied for worst in the game with the Vikings and Koreans. Their Cavalry Archers are thus weak, their infantry lacks the Champion while their siege is slightly above average. Their castles are among the weakest in the game, lacking both Hoardings and Architecture like those of the Japanese and Huns. They also lack the hand cannoneer.

Like the Vikings, they can go with the Infantry/Foot Archer combo, but that is destroyed by siege and gunpowder units. Battle Elephants can be thrown in due to their cheap cost, but they are very vulnerable to pikemen. The Malay need a break of some sort, and this seems to be it. I mean, as was stated, on an inland map, you can have a Malay player providing almost all of the food for the team due to the infinite fish traps surrounded by towers and castles.
