I think I love you. Now all we need is an aztec ship....

Love it!! I was really struggling with ships I could use as flavour ships for Africa...this and your other new ships will fill the gaps quite nicely thank-you!

I think that's a great concept and greater execution.

Colourful little thing, I'm guessing you'll be doing a whole armada of native american vessels now? You're off to a great start so far!

Decided my thumbs needed a rest, so i just put in a smiley...

Nice! Were these actually in use?

Another great ship!

Good to see you taking a break from the warhammer units for a bit.

In the first post aaglo said "Fictional".

Still Awesome, though.

Ares de Borg · Sep 8, 2005

Yep, already read it. My bad. Nice ship, nonetheless.

Bjornlo · Sep 8, 2005

I love ther flapping flag and movement of the sail. Nice attention to detail.

Bungus · Sep 8, 2005

Egads, more graphics to add!

Galley type ships seem a natural, inevitable development in civilizations. I think its highly likely that if the Mayans were to develop into a copper or bronze age society, they more than likely would have built something like this.

Left: If Aaglo isn't making the Quezalcoatl ship, then his Templeship would work great, in fact, its similiar in design to what I imagined for the Mayan/Aztec ship. The only difference is that the Quezalcoatl ship is more of a Galleass type vessel, with multiple, three layer sails, while the Templeship is more of a war barge, and it has the cool temple too.

R8XFT: Honestly, id probably give your africans middle eastern style ships, like the Corsair for example, at least islamic african civs. Probably Ethipia to, from industrial espionage.

Aaglo: Your welcome, but I think I owe you a bigger thankyou for making this, love the changes to my orginal design btw.

Way too much fun, man, way to much fun. :bounce:

The prow looks like the beak of a Tucan.

Vuldacon · Sep 8, 2005

Oh yes...that will add some more Native "Ornate Color" to the high seas! :goodjob:

Plotinus · Sep 8, 2005

Yes, Ethiopia would need Arabian-style ships (as they really were a major naval power), but I see nothing wrong with giving (say) West African civs ships like this (although Mali, at least, did build ocean-going ships, but I don't know what they looked like).

These are great ships, and this one is very cute!
