NOTE
I've decided to redo this unit, since the sail symbols do not show clearly on egypt colour (yellow). New sail colour suggestions will be appreciated. When I get home, I'll do some different options, and post them in the preview thread on the C&C forum. When the new version is done, It will be posted here in this post.

Thank you. :)

The egyptian galley (used 2500BC - 1300BC), used mainly in the river Nile.

UPDATE!

Since the previous version of this unit did not show very well the civ-specific colour of egypt (yellow) :lol: , I decided to remake this unit, with a different coloured sail. I think it looks better this way - or you can decide ;)

That is one of THE coolest units I have ever seen! :worship:
I'm currently making a Persian Wars mod, but when I do my Egyptian mod next, I'm definitely using it! (Don't worry, I'll give ya credit ;) ) Good job! :goodjob:
 
Another classic from aaglo!

I think it's safe to say that because of the astounding efforts of our esteemed creators, unit creation is at an all-time peak!

Thanks for keeping the game as great as it can be, dudes! :goodjob:
 
LPBP - what's those other ships in your screenshot? I don't think I've seen them before.

It's a Transport ship I made for the next GLC release (but I'm affraid not as good as aaglo's units :( )
 
Neither have i LPBP what is it? and well done aaglo your units are certainly amoung the best. You unit creators are the only reason i keep playing civ 3 at all
 
Thanks for the kind words, people ;)

LPBP - about that egyptian transport.

It looks very nice - especially the sail :egypt: . I would correct just one thing - the shadow is a bit too dark (almost black), so it spoils a bit the look of that ship... I think it could be handled with a rather simple palette change (but I'm only guessing here)

In fact a simple palette change would affect the entiere boat since it has some black in his body too :(
 
zulu, I know, but since LBPB requested this ship, and I happened to make such example, and he fell in love with it ;)

No, actually there were ceremonial ships with the same curve on both ends.

Now, for the more serious part -
Should I do the unit again? The yellow colour does not show very well (if not at all) in the sail. I would like to make the sail a bit lighter, so that the ankh really shows.
I didn't do very good job, since I think the yellow is the only civ-colour that doesn't show well in that unit - and the egyptians are always yellow... :lol:
 
Then by all means do it again! (God money did ask for a darker sail back in the early stages, ya know. :))As long as it doesn't mean the Kogge will be scrapped bye and bye...
 
No, kogge won't be scrapped...

I was thinking about lighter sail... well, I'll try some, and see which one would be better. Propably a darker sail (and a bit reddish) would be better.

Sail color suggestions are appreciated ;)
