sounds way off track, especially when trying to fit with P&P prices.
My construction cost figuring, in where I figured the prices based on the cost
of the labor has lumber at an average of 0.15 BB per BF. A price variance
of 2.8 orders of magnitude means we have very differing baselines.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

If you knew how much material I have, will have and have read you'd be
boggled. I could earn a doctorate in the amount of material I have.
But the problem is there is no exact records. It took me and Alex a
couple days to just get some math worked up :) <br>
</span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I read 2 complete
books on ships and ancient times. And those were clear experts. I
do know for example <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Athens</st1:place></st1:City>
spent 469 Silver to build one Trireme. While this isn't much when
you consider the other data this site gave on the crew wages and the TOTAL
treasury of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Athens</st1:place></st1:City>
then its alot :)<br>

I'm using them and other sources. It won't just be all your rules or all
of another rules. It'll be a compilation of that and things yours and
othes just don't supply. <br>
The problem is whatever I do not everyone will like. This is why I've
tried to spend years getting folks to help out on this to make it a cooperative
thing. When finished it'll be suitable for ME which is the important
thing and at least 30% fact based in some areas or as much as 80% fact based in
others. It may be too realistic in some areas and pure guesswork in
others. <br>
<br>
So we'll see....when its one I'm sure folks can make their own versions :)<br>
