Hi!

Here's a big(ish) chinese flagship from the Han-dynasty era(?). I don't know much about it, but it was requested quite recently by Odegei_mad (sp?) Enjoy :)

Here are the files:
Castleship (~1 Mb)

Here are some animation previews:

Attached is a civilopedia preview of this ship.

Wow, that is definately going to find a home in the Mystara mod. Awesome. :hatsoff:
 
Great!! I was hoping you'd have this done before AD came out - it's going straight into it now ;) !
 
Han is globally 200 BC - 200 AD.

It is the long dynasty that gave their name to ethnic Chinese people (Han).

Nice job Aaglo ! You are starting to improve your skills ;)
 
Thanks all :)

Cool, what kind of stats should this Unit have?
Click to expand...

I would see this as a rather slow, medium-attack high-defence bombarding siege ship.
In comparison to the standard civ3-galley, I'd give this ADM 1(or 2)-3-2, bombard 2, range 1, ROF 1 ... or something like that.
 
Super cool. Lumbering, huge, detailed. It's all good.
 
That was quick. :goodjob: I'll have a new unit to add for my mod now. :)

If you're wondering what the "Castle Ship" is, it is a hulking heavily-defended floating fortress used in ancient Chinese imperial navies that often served as flagships. They were important ships in the Han Dynasty. This one is based on a Sui Dynasty model, but it gives a good idea on what they may have looked like. There is also a Korean variant of the "Castle Ships" called the "P'anokson" which later became modified into the first "Turtle Ships." :)
 
Very groovy! :cool:

What are those poles with the blobs on the ends that stick out at 45-degree angles? For smashing other ships?
 
Awesome job!!! How do you make units so fast? It's taking me forever to finish the ones I havein the works....
