In that case, the boom was barely even worth it and they may as well have built vills from 1 TC that whole time. Where the Port boom starts paying off, is often also the time when they need to be looking to take map control. Even France, Germans, or basically any other civ with a strong early eco and vill shipments, actually outbooms Ports early on. All other boom civs can boom more quickly, Ports only has 1 more TC. All other boom civs can start their boom during transition, Ports have to wait for the TC.
They are designed as a boom civ with the age up TCs, but comparing them to other boom civs quickly shows that they really aren't a boom civ at all. The lack of vill shipments isn't really the problem, as early TPs and early spice trade are solid alternatives, it's more that Ports' civ bonus is mediocre. Ports are playable on the more balanced maps, but they still face issues even then.
300 wood first? Spice Trade second?! Naked FF!? Discuss!
