Guide our souls to the Elysium Fields Bear us home upon our shields Lay coins across our brows and sound the bells We're paying our fare on the river to Hell And when our sons and mothers lay us upon the funeral pyre Tell them we died Hellenic soldiers with our faces to the fire
I'm not trying to insult triremes; for their time they were kickass ships. I'm just comparing scale here. In Civ II, there is not a bat's chance in Hell that one trireme will win a one on one contest with a battleship; unless you fudge the stats of one or the other.
