IIRC in EB Rome could build to the largest port size, but I had a silly notion Ostia was rebuilt into a massive complex in the early Imperial period (sadly I recall this from I, Claudius and not my years of Classical history and Archaeology), after EB's timeframe, and previously it'd been a smaller affair.

Obviously Ostia was suitable to late Republican Rome's needs but my impression was it wasn't a naval hub like Carthage or Alexandria in the EB period.

I guess the explanation could be the historical "player" chose not to build the large port before 14 AD but the EB player has the choice to do so.
Rome won't have a port from the start, just a fishing village and the purpose was to preview the map graphics.

Capua however will have one since it was more influential.

Economics, starting buildings, armies aren't tweaked yet.
