Pontos (Imperator Augustus) Port Level 4

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	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Assault_Bireme_Pon) Assault Dieres - Pontikoi Epibatoi A bireme is a 30 meter long oared warship (galley) with two decks of oars, thought to have been invented by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BCE. Often called a liburnia in later Roman fleets, these swift yet durable warships are excellent for boarding actions and coastal patrols. (Pontic Marines) Soldiers trained for perilous service aboard the galleys of the navy, but also as an offensive force on land.

2	120	Medium Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Assault_Tetreres_Pon) Assault Tetreres - Pontikoi Epibatoi A quadrireme is a 39 meter long oared warship with two decks of oars, each rowed by two oarsmen. It is a useful battleship developed by the Carthaginians at the end of the 4th century BCE, but it lacks the speed and agility of lighter triremes. (Pontic Marines) Soldiers trained for perilous service aboard the galleys of the navy, but also as an offensive force on land.

3	80	Medium Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Assault_Trireme_Pon) Trieres - Pontikoi Epibatoi A trireme is a 37 meter long oared warship (galley) with three decks of oars, developed from the bireme in the 5th century BCE. Popular with Carthaginian, Greek and Roman navies, this is the main warship of the classical age. (Pontic Marines) Soldiers trained for perilous service aboard the galleys of the navy, but also as an offensive force on land.

These are dropped onto enemy ships and can quickly ignite the decks. (Pontic Marines) Soldiers trained for perilous service aboard the galleys of the navy, but also as an offensive force on land.

5	100	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (Gre_Pursuit_Hemolia_Pon) Pursuit Trihemiolia - Pontikoi Epibatoi Toxotai The trihemiolia is a lighter version of the trireme, with two and a half rows of oars. Developed by the Rhodians, it has been their favoured ship design for centuries and is an ideal pirate hunter, able to keep up with lighter raiding ships. (Pontic Marine Archers) Recruited for naval service, these Pontic archers are just as useful on land.

It has one and a half rows of oars, making it faster and more powerful than earlier uniremes. (Pontic Marine Archers) Recruited for naval service, these Pontic archers are just as useful on land.
