I need a better UU for the Dutch. The Swiss Mercenaries are good, but well, they're not really Dutch!

So I did a little brainstorming and this little lightbulb lit up: The Dutch have always been gifted seafarers, why not give them a ship as UU?

In fact, why not give them two? A Schooner and a Sloop. Both should be industrial age (18th 19th century) units.

I second this, the age of sail is pretty much forgotten in Civ.
I would also like to see a clipper ship and maybe a windjammer.

It's a shame the Clipper Ship was never fully completed.

And Aaglo is on an extended Vacation from Civland..... :(

Both the Clipper, Swoop and Schooner were Imperial Age units though...which means late Middle Ages in civ terms. I'd place two under Astronomy(replacing the generic Warship of that era and the Caravel), and the Clipper could replace the Galleon maybe?

Come to think of it, many of Admiral Kraken's units were actually cut-and-paste.....

Aaglo is gone?

anyways, I would love more sailing vessels. The Clipper would also be good, but woulden't that be american?

The Clipper and Schooner should be early Industrial Age units, but neither were used for warfare. The clipper could be a transport ship, I guess.

It's a shame the Clipper Ship was never fully completed.

Sorry. :blush: But, it does have everything but the death anim. :goodjob:

I triple or whatever these motions1 I would love more units for the age of sails!

I thought it was missing a direction as well? :confused:

Oh well... I'll just give it an extremely high attack and defense to make sure its never sunk... :p :p :p

Where the is problems, there is solutions ;)

Really? I didn't know that!

Well, without a death flic, the unit just disappears when it's sunk. But, I'm sure you already knew that. You're just trying to be a smarty pants just like you teased me about the monk thing! :D

Does this mean you're going to make a new one or fix mine up?! :clap: :mischief:

Maybe he was referring to my joke decision of no death for the Clipper... :(

Man, I'm really slow! :crazyeye:

Hey, it happens to the best of us, and by that, I mean it happens to me...

I just thought I should let everybody know, there's a couple of sailing ships including a schooner in the Renderosity Freestuff section... They're for Bryce, so find yourself somebody who works with Bryce. Wyrmshadow is the only one I know of...

I was thinking of doing a war 1812 scenario..the Sloop would be very useful.
