It might perhaps be a total of the ships destroyed during the "golden age of the empire", but can't see where they'd get that from, is a rather odd figure to pop out of your head...

Anyone else suffering the problem that when they try and merge the same unit types together the game crashes? It provides me with a slight problem in force management, but was just wondering if it was me...

My experience with Khmer is that 600AD is the best hope because of the Patna existing, but Arabs is a little more interesting, a 600AD strategy is easier because you know how the map will look like as you start, while the 3000BC might work out well for you.
