Fishing Ships 100 wood limit of 99 occupy population
or
Canoes the same cost limit of 20 doesn't occupy population
?
i always use canoes, they can defend themselves and 20 canoes do very well fishing

Canoes are slower than ships too. It depends what cards you have, as Aztecs I would never use canoes exclusively to fish simply because it's cheaper to make schooners.

fishing ships gather rate can be upgraded, canoe gather rate cannot, same with caravels.

The gather rates for canoes Fish 0.22 Whale 0.17
for fishing boats Whale 0.5 Fish 0.67
Sure canoes can fish, they're just a lot slower at it. Make them to fight, once thats over go ahead and let them fish.
30(40) extra villager speed gatherers? Just a little bit unbalanced so thats why they gather slower.

i agree with everything that has been said /\ exept i do think u shud make a few canoes even if opponents aren't fishing, just have them fish near the coast in enemy territory so if anyone comes near, u raid them and u can stop them from building a dock.
also it's nice to make some canoes because they dont count as pop. and still get you some income.
