Massalia (Hannibal at the Gates) Strategic Port Level 4

Port of Rhodos

Rhodos' vital lifeline to the world.

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_Mas) Assault Dieres - Massaloi 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. (Massilian 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_Mas) Assault Tetreres - Makhairophoroi 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. (Massalian Marine Swordsmen) Massalia does not follow the classical evolution of Hellenistic armies with the adoption of the pike phalanx, but instead she has developed her own tradition, influenced by Celtic and Roman influences. These marines form an elite corps, fighting in the Roman fashion to defend Massalia on land and at sea.

3	80	Medium Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Assault_Trireme_Mas) Trieres - Massaloi 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. (Massilian 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. (Massilian 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_Mas) Pursuit Trihemiolia - Massaloi 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. (Greek Marine Archers) Recruited for naval service, these Greek archers are just as useful on land.

6	140	Medium Ship / Artillery Ship / (Gre_Quinquereme_Ballista) Light Artillery Penteres - Lithobolos (Ship) A quinquereme is a 45 meter long galley with three decks of oars, in a pattern of 2-2-1 oarsmen, developed around 400 BCE by the Syracusans. 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.

7	80	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (Gre_Raiding_Hemolia_Mas) Raiding Hemiolia - Massaloi Epibatoi Toxotai A hemiolia is a light and fast raiding ship developed in the 4th century BCE, favoured by pirates but also used by navies as a light patrol ship. 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.

8	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.
