AI needs to build more ships of the line

[Marquis of Roland]

Isn’t it obvious that there are less SOLs because the upkeep has gone so high?

I gave the French and Spanish 500,000 each about 15 or 16 turns ago, still no SOLs, and both of them have naval hospitals. Around 8 turns after I gave them the money, the French built a new 5th rate and 2 sixth rates. Sounds like they need to change their build priorities to me.
