				NescioUnsubmitted Not Done Inline Actions Hand-held crossbows weren't used in naval warfare in ancient times. Large crossbows (i.e. siege engines) were, but only on large Hellenistic wargalleys (i.e. quinquereme equivalents). Bows and arrows were probably used by all; javelins, spears, pikes, and axes by many. However, “bow” also means the front end of a ship.

So we kindoff have to do with bolt shooting type of attacks (which probably are not entirely accurate, fixing this needs #4000 and #252). Can we get away with calling all these kind of weapons (so also some of the siege) `ballista`? bb: I guess the main weapons of ships would be rams, but we don't have them (yet). So we kindoff…

Yes, ramming would be great to have, but that's not possible right now; it might be in the distant future, but that's irrelevant for this patch. So we kindoff have to do with bolt shooting type of attacks (which probably are not entirely accurate, Bolt-shooting is entirely wrong for most ships and civs; it's only justifiable for the quinqueremes, not for the triremes or biremes. For instance, Athenian triremes and penteconters (“bireme”) had a fighting crew of ten Athenian hoplites (for boarding) and four Cretan archers each. Since archery was a skill present throughout the world, and in 0 A.D. warships fire arrows, the bow is probably the most appropiate.
