Hi!

This ship was used in the mediterranean between 1400-1800 AD. It was designed to take advantages of both galeon (sails) and galley (oars). Though they could out-maneuver the galeon, they were no match for them in the firepower.

UPDATE!
This unit can now be downgraded to have an arrow attack (useful for fantasy scenarios).

[Edit]: Oh, I forgot again (like with cog, trireme, siege ship, siege tower, numenor ship, ballista, egyptian galley&galleass... :mischief: ) : Thanks for all people participating in the design & development process. Thanks for all the ideas - this is your creation too :)

And a nice sunset picture.

Beautiful aaglo! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Just when I couldn't figure out with what to do with all the ships I d/l-ed already, you have to make another great one. Gonna have to make another line of ships for my mod I think.

That's really a spectacular job.

Would you consider doing some more hypothetical/fantasy units like your Numenor ship?

Some hypothetical asiatic age-of-discovery-type vessels would be useful, as would some extra oddities to give to later era African and Amerindian civs (what I've done with your Numenor).

Again, superb work.

(May be exept the waves in death animation. ;) ) :D

I disagree, I love Aaglo's fading death animations, waves included.

Looks superb, Aaglo!! A flawless masterpiece!! Keep it up! :)

And, if your taking requests ;) how about a Ship-of-the-Line? Even larger and more ferocious than this one, with lots of cannons etc. etc.? :D Would be cool to give to northern European countries, so that they might have something as bad-ass as this for their age of Discovery... :)

what is the difference between this unit and the "heavy"?

aaglo
Jan 20, 2004, 02:40 PM
Weight?
Size?
Strength?
Firepower?
No. of sails?
Symbol in the sails?
Paint job?
No. of oars?

Hetaroi: BTW there already is a Ship-of-the-line in C3C if you want one right now, in Napoleanic Conquest.

Wow, just blow me over! Move aside CK's old junk; here's the new and improved! I must say that is fantastic stuff.

How long does it take you to make something like that? Just curious. ;)

Cheers,

CK

How long does it take?

Well, I had some stuff already made (sails, ect.)...

I'd say something like
- modelling from scratch: 5-10 hours
- making all animations: 4-6 hours

@mrtn & Karhgath: Cool! Didn't know that. I do have C3C, but haven't had time to play very much... :( Hope to have time soon, though.

aaglo
Apr 03, 2004, 08:49 AM
Does it? I haven't noticed... :hmm:

But don't you think also, that u is quite powerless to do any resizing? :p

Well it is about the same size of the battleship... a small resizing can worth it...
