Shipwright

Sea legs can be found when there is glory and gold to be gained.

Shipbuilding, maintenance and having a safe harbour were obviously crucial to the trade and expansion of any Mediterranean people. From 500BC, the Greek trireme was the backbone of Hellenic navies. Up to forty metres long, and powered by a crew of 170 highly trained, professional rowers, the trireme was narrow and light, if a little unstable. Rowers were expected to throw javelins and sling stones while seated so as not to rock the boat! In Piraeus, the port of Athens, up to 750 triremes could be sheltered in nearly 500 neosokoi, or covered hangars, when not in use. The Carthaginians constructed an artificial harbour or 'cothon' to protect their ships from the sea. It is believed that other cothons could be drained to act as dry docks, allowing for ship maintenance.

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	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Firepot_Bireme_Mas) Fire Pot Dieres - Massaloi Epibatoi A fire-pot armed bireme, this 30 meter long oared warship (galley) has two decks of oars and jars of flammable pitch suspended over the bow on long poles. 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.

3	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.

4	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.

5	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.
