	Corvus (weapon) Information
		A corvus (meaning "raven" in Latin) was a Roman military boarding device used in naval warfare during the First Punic War against Carthage.
		The engine was probably used in the prow of the ship, where a system of pulleys and a pole allowed the bridge to be raised and lowered.
		It is not mentioned in period sources after the battle of Ecnomus and apparently the battle of the Aegates Islands that decided the first Punic war was won without them; however an evolution of the corvus, called arpax, was used in the battle of Naulochus.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Nuclear weapon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The detonation of a nuclear weapon is accompanied by a blast of neutron radiation.
		Hypothetical antimatter weapons, which would use matter-antimatter reactions, would not technically be nuclear weapons (as they would not be using energy derived from either nuclear fission or fusion), but bear noting due to a possibly higher potential energy by weight than conventional or nuclear explosives.
		Nuclear weapons have been at the heart of many national and international political disputes, and have played a major part in popular culture since their dramatic public debut in the 1940s, and have usually symbolized the ultimate ability of mankind to utilize the strength of nature for destruction.

		For every three points difference between a character’s skill with a weapon and the level of Aerae in the weapon, note length is changed by one level and one point is subtracted (or added) to the potential damage.

	Hotz ArtWorks: Roman Seas Naval Myths
		Light and medium ballistae were used regularly on Roman warships, whereas heavy ballistae were probably not used due to the weight of the weapon and also because of the excessive weight of its ammunition.
		Myth Number 6: Romans always preferred using Corvus (Raven) which was a ramp like device that was placed in the bow of their larger Quinquereme ships -- the ramps was dropped onto to an opponent's ship deck allowing the Roman marines to storm across for close quarter combat.
		Corvus works very well, but it is also a very heavy device that could not be easily jettisoned once it has been mounted onto a warship.

	Heretic II for PC Review - PC Heretic II Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The mainstay in Corvus' arsenal is his sword staff, which he'll power up to stunning potency over the course of his quest.
		Corvus has other tricks up his sleeve: a Hellstaff, which fires energy bolts at a furious rate; the Storm Bow, whose magical red arrows create deadly thunder showers; and the Phoenix Bow, whose ammunition explodes in the image of its fiery namesake.
		Corvus has a lot of moves in his repertoire, and most of them are useful, but altogether he moves a little sluggishly compared with your typical first-person action hero, especially while sidestepping.

		Even with his serpent slain, D’sparil still came at Corvus with all of his demonic fury, but in the end it was a final blow from the Phoenix Rod that caused D’sparil to erupt into a conflagration of fury, fueled by the oppression of Parthoris.
		Corvus did not know where the other two Serpent Riders traveled to, but he hoped that these unfortunate worlds were more successful at stopping the demons than his people had been.
		Corvus was engaged in a fierce battle with a demon when I felt the opening of a nearby World Ripple.

		Iron Doom -- Corvus hurls a spiked ball at his enemy, which upon impact shatters into several spiked balls which are projected out away from the point of impact.
		Corvus has one since the beginning, and using it drains your defensive mana, but greatly powers up all of your weapons
		This effect is permanent and cumulative, so as Corvus finds these shrines he will become more proficient and deadly with his staff.

	The Reviewboard Magazine Software : Heretic 2 Review
		When Corvus walks to the ledge of a cliff, table, or what-have-you, he is suspended in mid-air (no feet touching any surface), and it appears rather silly.
		Weapons are divided into three classes; there are offensive spells (that use green mana), defensive spells (that use blue mana), and weapons (that use ammunition).
		The basic weapons provided at the beginning of the game are the Durhnwood Staff (which can be powered up 3 times throughout the game - making it one of the most powerful weapons), the Fireball spell, and the Tome of Power (a defensive spell that enhances all offensive weapons).

		If there is “(Proposed)” after the title of the weapon then I feel that it needs to be modified to bring it in line with the other titan weapons.
		What follows is a mathematical breakdown of weapons, and their special rule modifiers, to arrive at an abstract number, Firepower Potential, that can be easily compared to 4 standard weapons: the Gatling Blaster, Laser Blaster, Turbo-Laser Destructor, and Vulcan Mega-Bolter, all of which had the same Firepower Potential of 6.
		Any weapons that did not come within 1 point (Firepower Potential between 5.00 and 7.00) were modified in a way to bring their numbers closer to 6 while maintaining the flavor and diversity of the weapons.

		Forged by Corvus the Great, for Alyen the Wise, known as Alyen the Bloody, King of Western Marches, it is a weapon so terrible that it brought peace to the land.
		Corvus hated war, as it was wasteful, but in his madness could not resist the challange of making the ultimate weapon.
		This is the joy of this weapon for a GM.

		My thought would be to do away with things like "volume" and make a weapon sheet SOLELY based on its elemental properties.
		The attribute required to weild a weapon would be it's highest attribute, and that could also determine it's "note length".
		People just learning might be limited to just part of a scale, and masters might be able to "switch keys" from one style to another, with the requisite visible stance change.

		Weapons are divided into three categories: offensive mana consuming, defensive mana consuming, and conventional weapons such as bows.
		As Corvus you go through many different environments from inside dungeons to the bottom of sewers to out in the middle of desert canyons.
		A lot of the weapons are very original which adds to multi-player fun.

		Corvus starts with a sword staff, a collapsible staff that he wears on his side.
		There are even more weapons you can acquire later in the game, and they continue the theme of magical fire and destructive magic.
		All these defensive and offensive weapons and spells do have a mana cost, and you'll need to keep replenishing your mana as you explore the levels, just as you'd have to pick up ammo in Quake II.

		A corvus quinquireme is a powerful warship intended for fleet actions, and a refinement of the basic quinquireme design.
		The corvus was developed by Rome during the first Punic War as a means of turning sea battles into land battles, and allowing its superior infantry to become decisive.
		It is an iron 'beak' on a hinged walkway that is designed to smash down into enemy decking doing two jobs in one: making a bridge for the marines to cross, and locking the two ships together so that the battle has to be fought on the quinquireme captain's terms.

		The flexibility and battlefield role are determined by the 4 weapons you have on it.
		No proposed extra (be they Corvus heads, weapon heads, banners, etc) are going to offer anything different to what weapons can add, so why add the option when all it means is it reduces the 'choice' element (and lets not forget, thats the central concept to this game), because you dont need to make one.
		The Corvus Head does represent an unusual circumstance in that it does the same thing as a current weapon (Corvus Assault Pod) but there are no real degradations listed except for what we have discussed as possibilities.

	sharky extreme - games - heretic 2 review
		However, the fact that each weapon has both a "normal" and a "powered up" state with varying degrees of damage inflicted and the inclusion of magical spells and defense capabilities does temper that gripe somewhat.
		Most interesting though is that not only can Corvus use the Staff to 'thwap' enemies but he can also use it to pole vault to areas that would otherwise remain inaccessible.
		A great mid-range weapon and with the use of a cross-hair you can pick off your enemies at a safe enough distance to be able to strafe and fire simultaneously.

	Tau Online - Armour of the Adeptus Astartes
		The Corvus Armour was used for many centuries prior to the Heresy, and it has left its mark on the Imperial Annals.
		The weapon systems, though refined, changed little from the Mk I. Only the Ultramarines ever made use of the Mk II, and it was due to their isolated location during the Heresy that they were the last legion to be equipped with the superior Mk III.
		During the deployment and use of the Mk IV Terminator, designs for the Thunder Hammer were born (supposedly from the Salamanders Chapter), and these weapons became part of the ever-growing Terminator Armoury.
