Commercial Dock

Hi

Am I missing something or is the commercial dock the biggest waste of
time and resource in the game??? "Produces an extra shield in every
water square that is already producing one" - surely this means that
it will only boost cities that have a whale in its radius? As there
are only a handful of whale resource squares it seem pretty pointless!

is there ANY way to use commercial docks better???

With offshore platform it's pretty useful.

Commercial docks produce extra commerce in any water tile already producing
at least one, not shields. And if you are seafaring, you get them 1/2 cost.

They're like half a colossus!
