Re: rediculous upkeep
All those units base upkeep comes to 5151 upkeep, have to subtract off any research bonuses you get. Do you have any ships in port? Ballista, Mortar, Ram? That might be enough with research bonuses to get you to 5.5k easy

Re: rediculous upkeep
I'd ditched the docs, cooks, rams and catapults... can build docs and cooks on-demand, and having a boat load of spies costs zero upkeep and opens walls just as well.

Talking transport ships? I would bet. I only have 30 or so. Originally Posted by Tonk
