They cannot recruit Heavy First Rates, Rocketships, or Steamships. With the new tech tree, this means that going for the Steam Drydock is not as important for the Marathans. Naval hospitals are available earlier and do fine for the Maratha side. If you want any of the Heavy 1Rs etc., you'll have to acquire them. They'll be rare as the AI builds them very little.
