Warships deal only 2 damage to fishing boats, which kinda dissapointed me because they were not built to tank projectiles, but to fish.

I think warships should deal about the same damage they deal to transport ships, but I'd also remove the pierce armor because its not made for hostile situations.

I didn't even notice it's so resilent. 20hp, 2/5 armor.
It seems so wrong.

How does 10hp, 0/2armor and +100% from attack ships sounds?
2 piercing armor is around innate wood resistance to arrows, l believe.

I had the same issue thought it was a glitch keep peirce armor though wood shouldn't get pierced like flesh

Well fishing boats don't really have a defense against arrows. Remember the ship does not operate itself there is a crew or maybe lone fisher in that boat. Fishing boats are built like a widened bowl with no deck, there is really no easy way for the fisher(s) to defend themselves from any projectile other than ducking inside their boats.

I am fine with the suggested stat change.

Will this be changed?

i used to find difficulty in completing the latest power creep map with the fishing boats, then i made a ballista and in 2 turns killed 4 fishing boats and a trireme (i used warship to gather all enemy ships together and caused mayhem upon them)

I am changing it "Fishing Ship HP 20->10, Armor 2/5->0/2." - can You prepare the map accordingly?

I'll change some fishing boats to transport ships just to scale in difficulty with the update.
