So I'm playing as Venice for the first time on the 'East vs West' map type.
My start is inland and I'm trying to think of a way to obtain a navy to escort my troops to the other side later in the game.
The only thing I can think of is purchasing a coastal CS when it has privateers and then winning some naval battles and hoping that the ships will convert rather than be destroyed. Its a strategy that depends on chance. Is there any other way I can get a navy?
I can't even take advantage of Venice's UU. Any thoughts? I'm hoping I've overlooked something.
