Is the boss battle too short?

[Sven Osymthe]

The boss battle isn't too short, but it is too easy.

But how exactly is the Boss Battle easier than it used to be?

They have changed the amount of damage that each ship/bridge deals, as well as how powerful the Goliath is. The ships used to be able to take a good amount of damage off (now, I literally waited 5 minutes with all 4 firing away.. barely even a scratch). The first 3 sets of bridges could get you in the yellow. If you weren't good enough at steering, or had people on cannons that weren't strong enough, you would sink at the last bridge due to explosive ammo. Then the Goliath was actually tough.. although sailing far away still worked.
