So I've found that coastal cities in this game have a MASSIVE advantage if you have whales.
With just a lighthouse, a seaport and a workboat on each tile, your whales product 3 gold, 3 food and 2 production per tile. Add a Colossus and you have 3 food, 4 gold and 2 production.
I did an island map with a friend last night where my main city had 4 whale spots in range and my city outgrew every other city on the map by leaps and bounds.
Even resources-less ocean tiles product 2 gold and 2 food with a Colossus and Lighthouse.
Do any Civs have bonuses that would really push this to an even more ridiculous level?
