Sayyida al Hurra

[Brew God]

Hello Civ 7 Fans,

Am I understand this correctly regarding Sayyida Al Hurra that one of her big attributes to the game is just making endless amounts of fishing quays, harbors, ports, light houses to place boats on while playing to get Plus 1 influence and happiness or production? So you build these foundations on water and then build ships to just sit on the quarters and do nothing else to ramp up influence in the game. If someone attacks you then you would be prepared with all your ships. Don't really get the tactic behind this unless I am missing the bigger theme or advantages or end game to this concept which SAH has as her civilization contribution.

All opinions welcomed and please point out what I am missing and then best way to take full advantage playing as SAH.

Already have 1800 hours on Civ 7 and love it.

Thanks

Brew God
