Frigate
- On sea as it was on land, everything changed in wartime with the rise of the Gunpowder
Age. The Frigate sailed with advantages in speed, armor, and firepower combined
in a single vessel for the first time. Even against larger, better-armed ships,
the Frigate can mount a substantial attack.

 Trireme -
Powered
by three levels of trained oarsmen, the Trireme was first launched by the Greeks.
In the game, the Trireme is available in the Ancient Age. Contrary to the widely
held belief, Trireme rowers were well paid - not the slaves of popular perception.
In the real world, the Trireme carried no ranged weapons, able only to ram foes,
back away, and watch them sink. In-game, they boast
Bowmen and other ballistic weaponry.
