Rodos (Macedonian Wars) Strategic Port Level 4

Port of Alexandria

Pharos stands watch.

All states built their navies to safeguard their merchants' vital trade across the Mediterranean. The Carthaginians were the most daring seafarers of the ancient world, preferring to hire mercenaries for their land wars whilst concentrating on the construction of a huge fleet of ever-larger ships. As Carthaginian trade and the need to transport troops increased, so did the importance of sea control. They built vast war galleys manned by citizen rowers. Alongside Greek-style triremes, quinqueremes ('fives') and septiremes ('sevens'), reinforced for ramming, were constructed. Even so, the largest ship of the ancient world was the Syracusia, designed by Archimedes and built in 240BC by King Hiero II. It used some sixty times the resources needed for an average trireme and took 300 skilled workmen over a year to build.

1	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Assault_Bireme_Rhodian) Assault Dieres - Rhodioi 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. (Rhodian Marines) Rhodes is an island therefore it couldn't be famous for her land armies but rather for her capable navy.The Rhodian navy made Rhodes a regional power which controlled in a great degree the south-eastern Aegean. These Marines along with the Rhodian Hoplites were composing the main body of the Rhodian army.

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.

Popular with Carthaginian, Greek and Roman navies, this is the main warship of the classical age.

These are dropped onto enemy ships and can quickly ignite the decks.

Its large size allows many marines on board, and also allows ballistae to be mounted on the large decks. (Rhodian Slingers) Few can match the deadly accuracy of the men of Rhodes.

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. (Greek Marine Archers) Recruited for naval service, these Greek archers are just as useful on land.

Its large size allows many marines on board, and also allows ballistae to be mounted on the large decks. (Greek Marines) Soldiers trained for perilous service aboard the galleys of the navy, but also as an offensive force on land.

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

12	100	Light Ship / Transport Ship / (Supply_Ship_Greek) Supply Ship - Supply Crew These merchant ships can carry vast amounts of supplies, and are the best solution to supply forces operating on land. A fleet with a supply ship can supply nearby land forces until the fleet runs out of supplies. Supply lines by sea are generally less expensive than those on land.
