Ardhan (Empire Divided) 近戰艦船

Assault Tetreres - Eastern Axe Warriors

這些船的大錘重擊能對敵軍陣線造成巨大殺傷。

The axe is an effective weapon, albeit unfamiliar to eastern armies.

關於古代的大戰船是如何運作的存在很多爭議；基本原理可以明白，但是細節就沒有那麼清楚了。從字面意思來看羅馬的「quadreme」或希臘的「tetreres」艦船似乎有四列槳。但是，不清楚船員是如何同時劃四列槳而不陷入混亂的，即使他們訓練非常有素，又或者最上面一列槳的槳手是如何適合使用陡峭傾斜的長槳而仍然能產生力量的。很可能是因為「槳」和「槳手」變得同義，最下面一列槳的每個槳擁有不止一個槳手。另一種可能是回歸到兩列槳，每一個槳有兩個槳手。兩列槳還使得艦船的建造更加便宜。不管怎樣，結果是這種船可以在速度上與更加輕便的三列槳座戰船匹敵，並且提供更大的甲板空間裝載大型戰鬥隊伍和拋射武器。

(Eastern Axe Warriors)
In contrast to their European opponents, eastern armies generally had lighter equipment. This was a function of the terrain and climate of their homelands, which naturally favoured irregular combat. As a result, traditional Persian warfare favoured skirmishing with few close combat engagements. Heavy armour was impractical in such conditions, as the oppressive eastern heat hampered soldiers already weighed down by chainmail or scales. Also, the metal needed to produce it was not cheap at the time. As eastern forces encountered heavier European warriors for the first time, the difference in equipment had a large impact on their way of battle. Under Sassanid rule, the Persian army was properly prepared for the expansion into southern Europe, as the reconquest of this land was high on the Shah's list of priorities - he wished to wipe out the stigma of his ancestor Xerxes' defeat at Greek hands, almost 1000 years before. In order to fight Rome's Legions effectively, eastern warriors began to be equipped with bulkier armour and heavier weapons such as axes and longer metal swords, rather than spears and javelins.
