So I had thought that the shipyard was to get resources( like loans and stuff ), so about 3 hours after I could have beaten it, I look at this forum and see that you have to build the ship. So all in all I won with an island that was about 40x40 with a 2 archer tower thick wall around the perimeter, 5000 wood and stone each, 70,000 food, and 850 people. Would suggest a higher percentage of resource tiles, lower percentage of water tiles, upgradable structures, the ability to make useless land fall, or more types of structures
