The rebels' quick ships fire at the enemy from afar, and speed last them, dodging any Greek Fire on the water and rams.

But the rafts are quicker. They dodge these slow rocks with ease. But as the rogues are occupied with the rafts from the north, they do not see the small canoes filled with men coming from the south in the darkness. They jump abroad the ships capturing and killing men. The ships are either captured or set ablaze. May the gods feast upon the blood on our enemies!

*of our enemies.

15,000 skilled soldiers easily dispatch of the facts with ballista, sharpshooters, flaming arrows, and trebuchets. Our boats are faster than rafts and we would notice the natives on that canoe.

Yeah, there's no way a raft or canoe is faster than a warship.

Not if they don not carry any light sources. We attack at night. And rafts and canoes are sleek and slender and light. The warships are big and clunky. Our ships are more agile and can move faster. But still, it'd be hard as hell to see a canoe when you are looking at the enemy in the other direction, the likely hood of seeing a small canoe on the other side of a boat making little noise in pitch blackness. Your men would be more occupied with watching the north than south.

And sense your Indians I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have a chance to A. Get Isralic armor B. Build compatible rafts and canoes to go in the open ocean C. Attack skilled, better equipped, and over all better warriors than you are

A. Israel traded with the natives who are loyal to us. B. This is a closed sea. C. The Gauls decimated the Roman army in Teutoberg. Just because people are better equipped than you doesn't mean you can't defeat them. D. Please screw off as you obviously aren't knowledgeable in history, geography, or science. You seem to be very ignorant to that fact. I'm trading with every nation in the Americas. Not like I wouldn't pick up a shit ton of ideas and equipment.

"Not if they don not carry any light sources. We attack at night. And rafts and canoes are sleek and slender and light. The warships are big and clunky. Our ships are more agile and can move faster." Having small boats doesn't necessarily make it faster than a warship. You need sails to move more efficiently as well. Think about it. Your canoe use like a few paddles for you to move compare to a ship with a large sail, possibly with a huge load of paddles. Same thing on your raft. That thing needs a larger sail. "But still, it'd be hard as hell to see a canoe when you are looking at the enemy in the other direction, the likely hood of seeing a small canoe on the other side of a boat making little noise in pitch blackness. Your men would be more occupied with watching the north than south." Alright. Please tell us what time you are attacking on your post next time because otherwise, pitch darkness will be irrelevant in this argument.
