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 / (Eas_Hillmen_Two) Assault Dieres - Hillmen With a ramming attack that can break an enemy hull, these ships are deadly weapons. Unschooled in formal warfare, these hillmen are canny fighters if used correctly.

2	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.

3	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.

4	140	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (Eas_Per_Archers_Five_Lft_Bow) Tower Penteres - Persian Light Archers From a shipboard tower, all enemies become little targets to be potted at will. Archers should be valued for the ability to strike down a distant foe.

5	80	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (Eas_Slingers_Three) Missile Trieres - Eastern Slingers A large contingent of archers can make short work of enemy crews. Even giants can be humbled by nimble slingers.

7	40	Medium Ship / Artillery Ship / (Gre_Ballista_Five) Light Artillery Penteres - Greek Ballista (Ship) Ballista bolts or stones are a powerful tool for destroying an enemy's will to resist. Only a slack-jawed barbarian would not use such an efficient engine of death!

8	40	Medium Ship / Artillery Ship / (Gre_Onager_Five) Artillery Penteres - Greek Onager (Ship) With deck-mounted artillery pieces, these ships can rain down destruction on the enemy. The crashing arrival of a large rock does much to humble arrogant foes.

9	80	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (Gre_Peltasts_One_Halfer) Raiding Hemiolia - Peltasts These swift, manoeuvrable ships are a useful scouting force for any admiral. These javelin-armed light infantry are used to harass slower, heavier enemy units.

10	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Peltasts_Two_Fire_Pots) Fire Pot Dieres - Peltasts Fire pots, hurled onto enemy decks, are a terrible threat to wooden ships. These javelin-armed light infantry are used to harass slower, heavier enemy units.
