There is 0 way you could sustain such a blockade. Anyway, the dark lands are FAR from the jungle... They also happen to be ten times farther from Umbar. Yeah, but the Tauredain have bad ships. How do you know that? Where does it ever say that? The Tauredain are based off the Aztecs / Maya, and they really were not major sea powers. It just dosent fit their culture. And even if they did have good ships, Umbar would still outclass them. Umbar is a major sea power. And, to be clear, this is not the royal fleet of Umbar, this is the fleet (they are smaller, though powerful) of the colonies. Umbar is a major sea power, and just let them be good at what they are good at. The Aztec and Maya weren't major sea powers because they didn't have a need to be. The Akali however, have only one link to the outside world. The sea is that one link. They would, of course, build it up. I of course understand they would lose or Umbar at sea, but you can't say they're ships are pathetic rowboats.
