On hardest difficulty:

Do not kill transport ships! By capturing them, you'll effectively cripple the enemy since AI also has limited troops available. You can use this trick on many sea maps.

Wall-up the nort-west muddy pasage. Do the same with the western and south-western side of island and also the smallest south island. Build a dock between island base and north base to block the passage.

The point is to force transport ships to circumnavigate islands and try to unload troops on the un-walled side of island. this will buy you time for transport ship conversio. When they come, convert ALL transport ships. Do not kill them, just park them away from enemy ships. In the mean time, produce galleys as much as you can. Do not try to repair them, just make new ones. When you have triremes (and preferably few catapult ships), go for 2 docks. Enemy won't rebuild them once destroyed.
