They seem not to like ships. I read once that a concern of theirs is that if a player were destroyed on land but had one ship, and his opponent was unable to build ships (for who knows what reason), then it would make him impossible to beat. Thus they try to avoid ships when they can. I like ships, but in most battlles I don't seem to have the time to build a good Navy and a good ground force, so the Navy is not used anyway, unless it is a map designed for Naval battles.
