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.
