Drydock

The home of the fleet, where mastery of the sea is planned.

For most civilisations, military dominance has always included mastery of the sea. It was always far easier to move men and material by sea than march them overland. Suppressing pirates and protecting trade was merely an extra benefit. Construction of good military vessels was therefore vital, with all kinds of ships from patrol biremes to colossal battle quinqueremes needed for a balanced force. Mastery of the sea prevented invasions too, and could even be a tool of diplomacy. By the Apamea treaty in 188BC, Rome limited the power of the Seleucid Empire by dictating the number of warships the Seleucids were allowed. When Antiochus V Eupator broke the treaty, the Romans sent delegations to Syrian cities, charged with sinking the excess warships.

1	40	Medium Ship / Artillery Ship / (3c_Arm_Artillery_Penteres) Artillery Penteres - Eastern Onager (Ship) With deck-mounted artillery pieces, these ships can rain down destruction on the enemy. Really big rocks, thrown at the enemy, punctuate many a debating point in war.

2	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (3c_Arm_Assault_Dieres) Assault Dieres - Eastern Spearmen With a ramming attack that can break an enemy hull, these ships are deadly weapons. Cheap spearmen are not necessarily poor spearmen.

4	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (3c_Arm_Fire_Pot_Dieres) Fire Pot Dieres - Eastern Spearmen Fire pots, hurled onto enemy decks, are a terrible threat to wooden ships. Cheap spearmen are not necessarily poor spearmen.

5	40	Medium Ship / Artillery Ship / (3c_Arm_Light_Artillery_Penteres) Light Artillery Penteres - Eastern Ballista (Ship) Ballista bolts or stones are a powerful tool for destroying an enemy's will to resist. If a man can be seen, he can be hit. If hit, killed.

6	140	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (3c_Arm_Missile_Penteres) Missile Penteres - Armoured Armenian Archers Archers can shoot down upon many enemies from the deck, doing terrible work in the process. Defence is often more important in ranged combat than just shooting arrows.

7	80	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (3c_Arm_Missile_Trieres) Missile Trieres - Armenian Slingers A large contingent of archers can make short work of enemy crews. Many great warriors have been killed with a well-aimed slingshot.

8	100	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (3c_Arm_Pursuit_Trihemiolia) Pursuit Trihemiolia - Persian Skirmishers Fast, relatively powerful pursuit ships, well able to hunt down pirates and other seagoing scum. Skirmishers are perfect for frustrating the enemy before a larger attack.

9	80	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (3c_Arm_Raiding_Hemiolia) Raiding Hemiolia - Persian Skirmishers These swift, manoeuvrable ships are a useful scouting force for any admiral. Skirmishers are perfect for frustrating the enemy before a larger attack.

10	140	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (3c_Arm_Scorpion_Penteres) Scorpion Penteres - Armoured Armenian Archers Deadly accurate dart-throwers give these ships a significant crew-killing potential. Defence is often more important in ranged combat than just shooting arrows.

12	140	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (3c_Arm_Tower_Penteres) Tower Penteres - Armoured Armenian Archers From a shipboard tower, all enemies become little targets to be potted at will. Defence is often more important in ranged combat than just shooting arrows.
