“Lets you send citizens on Expeditions for great rewards!”

Levels

General Information

The Shipyard is an unique building where players can earn daily dock bonuses from ships by participating in a League and sending expeditions for rewards.
The Shipyard is unlocked in the Bronze Age. It has a fix locateion at the base side and can't be destroyed.
As the levels increase, the destinations of the upgraded level would replace the destinations of the previous level and they are more rewarding than the level before.
Some rewards of expeditions include troop tactics, museum resources, and Trade Goods.
The Shipyard currently has 10 levels.
The Shipyard starts with 1 expedition slot. It gets an additional expedition slot at level 4 and level 7.
Available expeditions include both the current and previous level. For example, a level 7 dock includes both level 6 and level 7 expeditions.
The Shipyard starts as the Dock from level 1 to 3. It becomes the Anchorage from level 4 to 6. Finally, it becomes the Shipyard at level 7 and up.
You can add a General to an exploration to increase the rewards from it. The General will be unavailable while on the exploration.
The Library level 9 book Shipping, Chapter 5, reduces the citizens sent on expeditions by 1.

Historical Description

The earliest known Dock is found at Wadi al-Jarf along the Red Sea in Egypt, dating back to 2,500 B.C.(E.), where archaeologists found jars and archors. Another dock was found at Lothal in India, dating back to 2,400 B.C.(E.), which was used to service ships.

Trivia

Before 'The High Seas' v4.7 Update, the Dock primarily was used for daily Dock bonuses. The Dock kept the same primitive look, level, and function for all of the Ages.
There is a rule of physics error when upgrading a Shipyard were citizens walk on water to upgrade the building. That has not been fixed yet.
The names Big Huge Games gave for this economic building comes from the company's previous game Rise of Nations. Plus, the names change at a specific age just like in DomiNations. The Dock is available at the Ancient Age(Pre-Classical Age). The Dock changes to the Anchorage at the Gunpowder Age. The Anchorage changes to the Shipyard at the Industrial Age.
The 'The Republic of the Philippines v7.3' update changed dock levels 8-10; namely it added more museum supplies.
