Naval Oxybeles was a common technology in Age of Mythology that can be researched at the Dock once the Mythic Age was reached. Once researched, it upgraded siege ships (the Juggernaut, War Barge, Dragon Ship, Siege Bireme, and Siege Junk) to heavy siege ships, increasing their hit points by +10%, range and Line of Sight by +12, and doubling the damage they deal to buildings.

In Retold, all ship upgrade technologies were replaced by Heavy Warships and Champion Warships.

History[]

โ€œ A Greek version of the ballista was called the Oxybeles, meaning "bolt thrower." Descriptions have survived of this weapon firing either one or two long arrow-headed bolts. Hand winches at the rear of the weapon pulled back a large composite bow of laminated wood and sinew to a force far greater than a man could achieve unaided. Mounted on a ship, these weapons would have a devastating effect on fortifications on shore. โ€
