I note that a tribe is considered wiped out once it no longer holds any islands. This is usually accurate, but, in theory, if it still has any ships in transit, it could still conquer an island and come back.
I just saw this actually happen. I was playing Rus. I left Nor barely alive - one island with population 1 - and focused on taking down Gothi. Just before I conquered the last Gothi island, it emitted a flotilla aimed at that last Nor island. I conquered the Gothi island with the Gothi flotilla still in transit and was told I had wiped out the Gothi. Out of curiosity, I let the ship arrive and conquer the Nor island (I assume I could have forestalled it by conquering the Nor island myself and winning). I then conquered that now-Gothi island and was told, again, that Gothi had been wiped out (and got the Victory screen). Apparently it doesn't break anything, but it looks a bit odd.
I just saw the "freeze at end of combat" bug. I saw one of my islands at risk, so I sent a flotilla to it, not remembering that it was currently at max people; this resulted in me sending a zero-size flotilla (I've accidentally done this a few times before). Before it arrived, the enemy got there and conquered it, but just barely (2 attackers survived). My zero-size flotilla arrived, the combat screen popped up, one enemy was destroyed (I conjecture my flotilla was a siege flotilla; I can't seem to get any info about it now), and I'm now stuck at the combat screen with one enemy standing there and nothing happening.
Turn 254, all islands are mine, but I haven't been credited with a victory or with wiping out one of my opponents (was credited with doing away with the other one). One of the unreachable islands someone mentioned? Other bug? Dunno.
There definitely are glitches; there are four flotillae on the map right next to their destinations (or presumed destination in one, enemy, case) but not moving. The enemy flotilla that's frozen like that belongs to the enemy I did get credited with wiping out, so that's not what's behind that.
Got a turn 158 victory. By turn 157, there were no other civ islands. Pretty nice start, only setback was a 80 cliff island that worked as a bottleneck.
Earliest win so far. I started next to four islands that all had a population max of 90-110, which allowed me to ramp up my progress way ahead of the other tribes. By the end, I was fighting with full armor and swords, and the Gothi hadn’t even gotten shields. Overall seems highly dependent on starting location but good fun nonetheless.
really liked this game, wouldve been a bit more fun if there was some customisation or a bit more conveyed to the player e.g. how much more research until the next level
I feel like this game is very dependent on your start. If you have large islands close together, you will probably do better (unless your neighbor has larger and even closer islands). If you only have smaller islands strung out like an archipelago, you are hosed.

Id say make the fighting much faster it a bit slow or atleast add some speed setting
what is the best layout yall got (reply with the layout
What are you looking in a "best layout"?
The earliest i could win the game is turn 189. Has anyone gotten a better time? (I know it depends of the inital layout.

Turn 148 victory. Same as the previous post, by turn 147 no other civ islands.
OH NOOO, The Island belongs to no tribe
Good stuff - plenty jank and plenty challenging. Overall nice job
Very fun! Finally won on turn 231

No way to win, as the rest of the islands are unreachable, but I did get to tech lvl 100
Yeah, the game doesn't validate maps, so this happens occasionally. Sorry about that...
