Gameplay

Triremes are critical in gaining control of water as they are the only warship available in the Classical Age. They are also effective in sinking enemy Transport Ships. Once in the Heroic Age they will need support from other warships in order to be effective. They deal bonus damage against Hammer Ships and Transport Ships. Siege Ships will destroy them easily. Naval myth units and coastal siege weapons are also a large threat.

History

"This oared galley propelled the classical Greek city states, and Athens in particular, into a naval power. The trireme (trieres in Greek) was named because the oarsmen were stationed at 3 levels, allowing more men to fit on a smaller ship. A standard trireme was about 120 ft long, and manned by over 150 oarsmen. the ships could cover about 180 nautical miles at a constant speed of 7.5 knots. They also had square sails, which could not always be used on the temperamental Mediterranean Sea. During the wars with Persia, Athens alone commanded over 200 of these ships."

Trivia

The emblem featured on their sails is the Vergina Sun, an ancient emblem of the Argead Dynasty of Macedon.
Trireme (Wrecked) has an internal cost of 100 wood, 50 gold and a training time of 14 seconds.

He strangled serpents in his crib as a baby and accidentally killed his tutor with a lyre as a youth. Unfortunately he had a terrible enemy in Hera, Zeus' jealous wife on Olympus. She drove Heracles mad to the point that he killed his own wife and children. After recovering his sanity, he sought advice from the Oracle of Delphi for penance to resume a normal life. She instructed him to perform his famous twelve labors. These included killing beasts like the Nemean Lion (which he strangled and the Hydra, capturing other beasts, and a variety of other quests. With the twelve labors complete, and following a variety of other adventures, he was allowed to return to Tiryns and remarry. Heracles died much later after being treacherously poisoned through the machinations of a Centaur who had tried to abduct his wife. He was then invited to Olympus and endowed with immortality.|In-game compendium}}
