We lost one trireme, luckily when it was empty, for not building the Lighthouse. The odds seemed pretty decent (25% accidents after Seafaring), land couldn't be that far away on a small map. We did have some trouble meeting the Spanish because of the accident. The AI tribes were particularly closefisted, even when we had 5 allies (!) we often couldn't get a dime to go our way. Trade was good though, our commodities were in demand - and all overseas, naturally
. Got a few more techs than usual from the AI tribes, too.
