Had a game with 19 AIs about a month ago on an Earth map where I was England. In this game I've actually noticed 3 civilizations having a massive Navy of 10 - 15 ships, something which I've never seen before or ever again. Anyway at some point in time I was declared war on by 7 different players out of the blue. America & Spain in North America, Brazil and Portugal in South America, Austria & France in Egypt, and my very own neighbour and friend Sweden in Europe. Had no choice but to field a massive Navy to fight a war across 4 continents.
Total naval count was:
24 Battleships (6xLV4, 5xLV5, 4xLV6, 4xLV7, 3xLV8, 2xLV9)
16 Submarines (2xLV5, 14xLV4)
5 Destroyers
5 Carriers
15 Carrier-based Triplanes
5 Great Admirals
Sadly I never completed the game. Managed to cripple America, Brazil & Netherlands (which were the leading world powers) by taking over their coastal cities, but I didn't have the heart to continue because it was a pain controlling at least 50 units each turn.
