[pnpgm] ships and archers

[Alex Koponen]

My understanding of the ships of the Perilous Lands is that they are 
late bronze age/early iron age designs, with the trireme being the 
latest greatest design. Basically these designs are too small to put men 
up top to shoot from bows. Some designs might have protected areas on 
the bow and stern to give some cover for the fighting men. It takes a 
large ship to need masts thick enough to mount a crows nest big enough 
to be a shooting platform. Frankly I don't think the technology of the 
Perilous Lands is to that point.
