Played a game on shore to shore. Got lots of sync errors. After a while neither I nor my ally could see each other's units. We both thought the other had gone afk. We both hammered the oposition with navies, but felt like we were fighting alone we won.
Had other games on shore to shore with sync errors, dropped connections and oponents who haven't built anything hardly. Not sure if it is network problems/newbies, or perhaps something is seriously weird with the map. Out of half a dozen attempts I have not had one normal game on the map.
