The correct rules make falling behind on ships pretty dismal. We played 3-player tonight and one player started his castle far away from the navy spaces and had slim pickings the entire game because of it.

I've heard this before and I think it's an exaggeration. Why should the last player have slim picking for the entire game? You get 25 turns. Only five of those would you possibly miss out on something you really wanted and someone else grabbed it first. I'll sometimes make an effort to get into first right when a new round is starting, but otherwise it really doesn't matter.
