I'm back! w00t!

This is a request by beboy, from July of last year:mischief: . Yes, yet another fictional meso-american ship, though I think this one fits firmly in the fantasy area. It's got three attacks, as the preview shows: Giant-Sun-Laser-O-DOOM, cannons, and arrows.

Boat season begins again!

Nice! A Meso-american trireme! That has a sun-laser!

Dude! That laser attack is awesome. Let's burn some Spanish ships...

Fantastic!

Didn't they have something like this The mysterious cities of gold?

Holy cow, that lazer is friggin awesome! Burn, baby, burn! :evil:

Plotinus, check out Orthanc`s creation thread ;)

Nice blast :) - a cylinder filled with media? :)

Honestly yeah, really it's just my water splashes in a big cylinder and rotating.;)

Thanks everyone! So good being back...

Laza beams of death! :evil:

Anyways, shouldn't the laser blast be pointed to the same side as the arrows shoot? Otherwise it is limited to it's own attack, not combined with the other attacks.

Hmm, I quess I could make an alternate fortify and an Attack D, so the fortify would point the top mirror to starboard, Attack D would then naturally have the beam firing to starboard. I'll do that after I've got the sail version done. :lol: This unit's getting complicated!

Yes, this ship fits in the Fantasy Unit Category alright... The Attack Beam looks Great and I am sure it will "Fry" anything it hits :D :goodjob: Welcome Back

:thanx: Thank you Orthanc!!! The unit is wonderful!! :goodjob: It's nice to see this fictional boat revive in Civ3! The sun laser is just great!

Note: I think you forgot to add the civpedia pics in the file!

:lol: Indeed I did! Fixed!

I also see it very well in a hypothetical Rome/Greece scenario.. i think, also the name of the ship supports my idea

I'm pretty sure my '06 Civic can do that

The normal sail version is done and done! I also updated the regular version with a side-firing lazar-O-doom, just made it shoot out of the folded mainsail instead of rotating the top one to fire it. So you now have 4 attacks to pick and choose from!

Awesome job with the sailed version.

Great modeling work on this one. Also, thanks for including the two versions. It makes this ship very versatile for mods from ancient to future.
