Nevermind. The levels means "total ship sail requirement level" not your actual level. My mistake :)

Where is the best place to build this for grinding sb? Tunis or Tripoli or other city in terms of running from bank to sy and back?

Probably Alexandria.

It is but you need to defect to ottoman to build this in Alexandria.

Tripoli is better choice. There's a port right next to shipyard and another next to the bank so you can just port back n forth w/o running like in Tunis. Saves you about 1-2mins per build.

Is there any ports where this is available?

I was building this in Algiers on OGP but last I heard the development isn't high enough to build... A pity because this ship gives the best amount of experience for the time it takes to build and Algiers is close to everything and doesn't require a lot of disguise to get in

People should be breaking their backs to develop this port it will greatly increase the amount of Shipbuilders if we do... Sigh

Algiers is an Ottoman port, only those that decided to go Otto can get this done

You only need to defect to build the Assault Ottoman Galley. The TG can be built by anyone if you can gt into the port.

Bael wasn't trying to say only Otto can build it, Bael was saying only Otto can invest in the port to build up development so that it can be built. Tunis will unlock long before Algiers will, and that's a long run to the shipyard

Edgedemon

Tunis is not ottoman territory is actually Spanish ally right now, but they do lack development so anyone is free to invest if they want this ship on the water

Edgedemon
12-05-2017

on the other hand with sever wide interest we could force Algiers to "FALL" and then everyone can invest there for a set amount of time at least, its been done before.

Bael
12-05-2017

Yes, I was answering to Juicebox's statement "People should be breaking their backs to develop this port...", we non-Ottos can't do nothing about it.

Indeed, Algiers is optimal. Tripoli is a suitable alternative, but a bit annoying due to nearby sirens, but both are ottoman territories and thus not really on the table until they're developed by ottoman players. And those are in short supply, right now.

A better option, in spite of the distance to the shipyard, would be Tunis. While it is under spanish control, one way that we could definitely jump start it's development would be to try to trigger an Epic Investment Battle there. That way, we're almost guaranteed to get the maximum investment/hour per nation for 3 hours, and as a side effect it will pump some PAs into the game. The ones who did IQs seem to have a stash, but they won't last forever (especially with so many people modding ships), so perhaps this would be a good way to hit two birds with one stone.

Caddy, Huseyin told us that papaya+koei have locked EIB and ESF until all nations have unlocked EA. If this is true, then there is no way we can get an EIB in Tunis sadly =(

Edgedemon
12-05-2017

if thats true, you have to consider if OTTO is in that all nations list, because if they are we are in deep trouble here...

Wsp
12-06-2017

Good point Edge, didn't even consider that...

Yaknow
12-06-2017

There are a lot of things people didn't consider when they were clamoring for a reset to even the playing field. At least Otto only has to unlock EA. They'll get it done if that's truly is holding up esf.

To answer a couple of questions here:

1) According to GM, 42k development is required in all cities to build Turkish Galleys. It's a lot, but we've got Tunis done now, and hopefully Ottos can work on Algiers soon. If not, when I do my 7nation rounds, I may try to work on it a bit; perhaps someone can match me :)

2) Someone in the UWO rumor mill is confused on this point: Neither ESF nor EIB are tied to national IQ progress. The ONLY landmark tied to IQ progress is that Papaya wants all nations to have access to most (all?) port permits before releasing new CONTENT, not ESFs or EIBs. And even this is not even a "set in stone" objective, more of a timeline thing, because many of the new patches will either require or be augmented by having access to certain materials available in parts of the world that are restricted by port permits. If one nation lags seriously behind in the IQ process, I will recommend that we don't wait forever before moving forward.

We'll be having ESFs again regularly before too much longer. This was manually stopped by Papaya when server reset, because an ESFs with half of the server in lower-tier or school ships wouldn't be much fun (can you imagine an all Barca ESF?} And EIBs (to my knowledge) aren't restricted at all by this, because we've had at least 2 since the server launched (one in Benghazi, one in Cape Town).

To those itching for ESF: Don't fret too much about the "when" part of this. I would recommend to turn that attention instead towards getting your skills/ships right for it. Right now we've got >1 month of increased proficiency and XP, so as they say in my home town, "it's best to make hay while the sun shines". I have recommended that Papaya give more advanced notice about the first ESF than usual so that players have more time to prepare their ships/skills/etc. for it.

You can also build this ship in Cairo :)

Aguirre

I'm seeing that this can also be built in Cairo and Tunis. Does that include freestyle as well? Or is freestyle still limited to Algiers, Istanbul, and Alexandria?

Blake.C

Yes, it can be built freestyle in those places.
