Hey folks,
So I just finished my first game as England, and I have to echo how much the Civ has improved. Playing England is a blast now. But the biggest surprise to me was how much more powerful Ships of the Line are compared to their counterparts.
Seriously, 3 Ships of the Line can absolutely wreck anything in their way. They will devastate any coastal city on par in tech to them. And, with the proper promotions, they can one-shot Crossbowmen. Once I got to Navigation, I easily dominated the game.
I'll certainly think twice about letting an opposing England get to Navigation, especially if they're prone to war. Or, at the very least, I'll build a very large defensive navy for my coastal cities.
