How is the AI at conquering cities on islands?

I think the AI is probably better - or less worse - at land warfare than sea warfare.

How is the AI at conquering cities on islands? Can it do it?

Never seen it happen, seen 3 decent naval invasions (worked our would have) about 25 useless ones but never an island take.

Thanks.

That would suggest sticking to map scripts that don't produce so many islands.

For Earthlike random maps, that would probably mean either Continents map script, which I find a bit blocky, or Fractal map, which has a few islands, but less than the others.

I think it still looks like it'll end up with too many island cities.
