This game has really become a joke. To raid anyone anywhere you need just one sloop with one cannon.
Pew Pew and bye bye mythical galleon.
It does not matter if you raid in lawless or on a claim island, a few shots and blubb blubb enemy galleons.
On the other hand defence is just a joke, you can build whatever artillery tower you want. For sure a chinese swarm fleet is coming, 30 chinese bears (Panda ?) are coming.. byebye artillery tower, superfortress, whatever.
Suvival on land is possible, but not through strength nor raw power, the snesky hidden way is successful.
Unfortunately this is not working for ships, you can not hide them, stone garage is not even one galleon volley, scouts search the beaches, chinese swarm fleet is coming... bye bye your ships.
Really stupid, i would like to build something bigger than a sloop, but this is pointless, as all built ships will 100% be offline sunk the next night.
