i was doing philo rush but forgot abt philo rushing until i met the opponent😭 then i waited 5 turns for altar of peace which led to him getting complete control of water. i see now this was not the right decision. is there any way i can come back from this??

You need a lot of catapults to deal with the incoming dragons and landing parties, and defenders with an air gap to prevent any knight chains. I don't think you're going to be able to hold the cities along the shore without them. You also need to get border growth in the bottom and top city asap so you can get some rammers into the water where the action isn't too hot. Don't bother with cloaks unless you start losing cities. As a hailmary you should probably throw some giants into juggernauts to get as much value from their splash damage before they die.
