Medieval Flamethrower

Add a Medieval Flamethrower. In the Praecepta Militaria of Nikephoros II Phokas, he dedicates a whole section to the use of Greek fire on land. In it, he explains that each battalion was to carry along a select number of portable Greek Fire projecting devices known as cheiromangana, to be used in a variety of tactical situations. Nikephoros suggests that these cheiromangana, along with a volley of incendiary grenades, be used to break up and demoralize the enemy troops before the closing of the lines.

It is unclear if the cheiromangana were the same devices as Leo VI's cheirosiphona, as described in his Taktika, but it seems that they filled similar roles. Some modern scholars suggest that the cheiromangana might have been larger and stationary, rather than infantry-sized as the cheirosiphona were, but we have direct evidence in the works of Hero of Byzantium that the cheirosiphona were used during sieges (especially to assault off of siege towers), so it would not be surprising if the two devices (assuming they are different) were used in tandem on the battlefield.

It's basically the incinerator but the medieval version, just added a backstory and changed the graph, so it's compatible with Combat Extended.

You can craft it at a medieval's workbench or a fueled smithy after finishing "Gunpowder" research. Ammo at a drug lab.
