Vikings Vs Saracens

Introduction:

   Well as most people know Vikings rule water maps in 1v1 with there 25% cheaper docks AND 20% cheaper Galley line but in a team game everybody gets the Dock bonus......
I wanted to know if there was a good civ that could compare with the Vikings and I choose to test the Saracens because of the +20% faster firing Galley line, will the Saracens be able stand up against the Vikings if they have same price docks, In theory the Viking 20% cheaper galleys should be matched by the Saracens 20% faster firing ships so I thought I would find out and here are the results I got:-

The Test:

    Because of the Cheaper galleys Vikings get 5 galley's for every 4 the Saracen's do, as shown in the chart below

   

Resources Spent on Galley's

Wood Gold Wood Gold Wood Gold
  360 120 720 240 1440 480
Boats created with ----->
the resources spent-----> 
Vikings 5 10 20
Saracens 4 8 16

    The table below shows the results of the battles fought with each side spending the SAME amount of resources on boats, it shows the battles being fought 2 times each:- 
1st= letting the boats do what they want and 
2nd= Micro managing the boats to attack 1 unit at a time, 
Then it shows who won and by how many boats and with how much health was left

Conclusion:

    Well I was really shocked when I found out Just how much Vikings Hammer the Saracen Galleys, I personally thought it would be a lot closer than it was
