ok I'm playing Siam in a OCC and I'm landlocked, is there anyway I can build ships other than a GA? I'm trying to find a way that I can but I don't think there is unless I'm missing something, ty for any help.

Nope. Need a coastal city (non-puppet) to build boats. If you are playing true OCC (i.e., any conquered city is auto-razed), you are out of luck.

Other than cargo ships, what do you really need boats for?

Prior to BNW, you needed it for exploration on anything that wasn't Pangena since you could bet one or more AIs would be really slow to discover you and embarked units are really slow compared to naval ships.

But in BNW, you'll get those contacts as soon as an AI founds the world council.

Just make sure the GA ends his turn in deep water, as that will keep him safe from barb galleys.

I think you do just about as well with two embarked scouts as you do with a single trireme, and thats about the same number of hammers and ~same speed.
