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 / (Eas_Ballista_Five) 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.

2	160	Heavy Ship / Melee Ship / (Eas_Elite_Archers_Six) Assault Hexeres - Hillmen These magnificent ships are both intimidating and extremely dangerous. Unschooled in formal warfare, these hillmen are canny fighters if used correctly.

5	80	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (Eas_Javelinmen_One_Halfer) Raiding Hemiolia - Eastern Javelinmen These swift, manoeuvrable ships are a useful scouting force for any admiral. These skirmishers harass an enemy line with javelins, screening their comrades in the process.

6	40	Medium Ship / Artillery Ship / (Eas_Onager_Five) 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.

7	80	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (Eas_Par_Archers_Three) Missile Trieres - Parthian Foot Archers A large contingent of archers can make short work of enemy crews. If a Parthian can see it, he can shoot at it.

8	80	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (Eas_Par_Archers_Three_Scorpio) Scorpion Trieres - Parthian Foot Archers Deadly accurate dart-throwers give enemies pause. If a Parthian can see it, he can shoot at it.

9	140	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (Eas_Per_Archers_Five) Missile Penteres - Persian Light Archers Archers can shoot down upon many enemies from the deck, doing terrible work in the process. Archers should be valued for the ability to strike down a distant foe.

10	140	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (Eas_Per_Archers_Five_Dbl_Scorpio) Scorpion Penteres - Persian Light Archers Deadly accurate dart-throwers give these ships a significant crew-killing potential. Archers should be valued for the ability to strike down a distant foe.

12	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (Eas_Spear_Two) 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.
12	60	60	310	310		566	6					13	25	11	34	45	45	25
13	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (Eas_Spear_Two_Fire_Pots) 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.
