I love the concept of this map. Unfortunately, it's pretty unworkable right now. Gameplay is little more than a slugfest as to who controls the ships. Once that is decided, the shiplord can faceroll to victory - in about 30 more turns. I strongly recommend connecting the ships to the Spartan camp area to make this map more playable.
