Dockyard
A Dockyard can construct the largest of ships, and acts as a port bringing trade and wealth to the city. It can build a large variety of ships and help to improve the popular naval vessels used for a trading, fishing and a fighting navy. It even has the facilities to build quinqueremes, some of the largest practical warships afloat. It also attracts the talented people needed to develop naval tactics: veterans who can pass on hard-won knowledge about using their ships in battle to the next generation of naval commanders. A Dockyard, of course, includes all of the facilities of a Port, and has the men and tools to keep channels clear and navigable. By tradition, Greeks are often seen as the best sailors in the world and it is not unusual for them to be hired as overseers in Dockyards, even in times of war.

Looks good, nice picture too, I thought the Medieval pictures were a bit bland.

Vanya sez... that port look a tad small to dock a cruise ship.

I think I remember seeing that the naval battles are going to be abstract, as in MTW. I wonder... how exactly are they going to work? If there are no discrete provences, then it would seem to follow that there are no sea regions with defined borders.

Also, are the any screenshots out there that include water? I don't think I've seen any...
