Yes, they might try to poke the bear when it's a caravel, but then Frigates come along.

I'll usually wait too, but sometimes you need one in trouble spots. And like showing that chariot early, it's never bad to let them know the possibilities.

and a single frigate can keep them off your shores for quite a while. Especially if you have the war academy or magellens. There ships will not be able to compete.

especially with magellans/waracademy...even LH makes for nasty ships......
its a great way to trade yourself to victory, a great investment which depending on your wonders could upgrade as time goes on

yeah, but smart players catch on and decide that using their raw materials to prevent your income from going through the roof is a good investment....
once i sink a few , i expect them to come at me oportunistically

Me too, but them I'm usually ready for them. And it ends up costing them even more wasted resources.

At what cost. There's usually someone else to trade with right around the corner. Or from you own islands so you don't even need anybody else.

yes and no, its profitable for him to prevent you trading without fear. Knocking out your boats at any cost IS cost effective for him if he prevents you from trading BIG DOLLARS.
but your right, he will waste more resources if his navy is outdated

Yep, I'm stuborn, I'll try to stop it too. But once your navy is inferior, it's tough.

once the vet ships are on the board, you must have something relatively close to compete...especially on island worlds.....sinking vans/freight is a great way to deflate someones coffers

I'm surprised that 15 people actually took the time out to take it.
The 13 deity votes to 1 for a couple of the Wuss levels is the only thing that surprised me. I figured more Wusses.
