I might try to reproduce it. Then someone could make some of the WW2 seaplane patrol bombers and then base them at sea.
Would love to see that, sounds like a fun game
Agreed with that, and when I play on Test of Time with boosted Barbarians, some epic fights with them as well. Might you post a ;biq file of how you mod the game so that I can take a look? I have a mod posted under Timerover51 Naval Mod in the Creation and Customization Completed Modpacks Thread.

I plan on making some changes to it using Pounder's Resource file for added resources like Steel and Ship-Building Timber. I am continually tweaking it.
For sure! I'd love to share mine and am always down to explore new mods - naval is one of my weak spots so I'm always looking to improve strategy there!
In a nutshell both the included Maccabee's and Earth (Huge) have
- Tile boosts. Grassland and Plains, irrigated produce +2 food or mined produce +2 shields. Tundra, desert stay the same. Coast, Sea, Ocean get + 2,3 food as well. Makes the game more interesting + more powerful AI to contend with.
- Governments. Since the AI loves to choose Fascism I've made it with minimal corruption & seriously increased unit support. Also modified resistance levels between governments to model real-life resentment (although not 100% on if that's what it does). Makes for epic Commie-Empire and actual Reich building possible. Increased MP for both to 6. Communism also gets increased unit support. Republic gets 2 MP and increased unit support.
- Drafting - can draft 4 units in Reich and Commie mode. Only makes people sad for 4,5 turns instead of 20.
- Movement - roads = 4 movement in Maccabees
- Civ Unique Traits. Since Japan starts in a remote location, I've added many boosting unique traits (don't remember them all but almost all of them are selected). Likewise the Iroquois get set up for early extermination with no unique traits (sorry
), but somehow still manage to end up on top...
Huge Earth is also slightly modified for terrain (added arbitrary rivers and land to Japan) just to rebalance the game & again, make things more interesting (higher pop for all capitols)
I think that's it...
Earth, Hitler -- epic Reich, one turn for victory
Macccabees -- Stalin, still in progress
Biqs -- Earth (Huge) and Maccabees with my adjustments
