Docks

Command of the sea requires a powerful navy.

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	120	Medium Ship / Melee Ship / (inv_gre_four_assault_greek_hoplites) Assault Tetreres - Hoplites Ramming attacks from these ships inflict terrible damage. Hoplites: no other word says "Greeks at war" in quite the same way.

2	80	Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (inv_gre_three_assault_greek_toxotes) Missile Trieres - Toxotes A large contingent of archers can make short work of enemy crews. Archers are ideal for goading the enemy into foolish action.

3	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (inv_gre_two_assault_greek_light_hoplites) Assault Dieres - Light Hoplites With a ramming attack that can break an enemy hull, these ships are deadly weapons. Discipline is needed to fight with spear and shield in the phalanx.
