Buff Barbary fleet

[ilia_r_s]

Barbary States is a joke. Their initial roster consists exclusively of dhows and light galleys which can't even protect their own trading port, not to mention rivalring Spanish and Italian fleets. The only decent ship on the roster is Xebec, which only becomes available after building a Drydock (tier 3 dock). Initially they don't have neither a school to research the needed naval tech, nor the free town slots to build it. The population in their regions is stagnant, making it unlikely they'll get a school before being conquered. Moreover, even if they somehow manage to build a school, their capital lacks naval construction slot so they can't build a Grand Admiralty and research the tech.

I propose simply buffing their initial facilities rather than making any serious modification to roster or ship building requirements:

• Replace Shipyards (tier 1) in Algiers and Tunis with Dockyards (tier 2), so that they're capable of recruiting Admiral's 5th Rate and Bomb Ketch right from the start
• Make Tunis a 5 construcion cite city so they could build Grand Admiralty
• Replace Peasant Farms in Zaghouan, Tunis with Tenated Farms, so that the region towns could grow
• Give them Naval Shore Facilities tech (or Flintlock Cannon if you are concerned about Ottomans buying the tech from them)

Ok, after more than half a year of modding ETW, I now see how useless and backfiring the above suggestions are
