New Unit: Barbary Corsair Galley

Orthanc · Jan 04, 2006, 10:16 AM

To kick off a new year of ship making, I give you the Barbary Corsair Galley, requested by Goldflash. It comes with both arrow and cannon attacks to choose from.

Here's the boat:

Looks good!

Steph · Jan 04, 2006, 10:23 AM

Cool, I need it for my mod.

Could you make a more modern unit? Like a frigate era muslim ship?

Grandraem · Jan 04, 2006, 12:40 PM

Beautiful unit as always.

Grohan · Jan 04, 2006, 12:43 PM

Excellent unit!

As I recall this is the ship the Barbary coast corsairs used during the frigate era. I know the USA sent frigates (sail) and marines to combat these pirates.

Who won? Alu Bu Ackbarrrrrrrrrr or the good old US of A?

Fox Mccloud · Jan 04, 2006, 03:46 PM

USA!

Yeah, when the US Marines stormed the city of Tripoli (which was the Barbary Pirates' main base), it was the first time in history that the US flag was flown over the old world... It's also where the "to the shores of Tripoli" verse comes from in the US Marine Corps anthem....

This unit makes a good target for Aaglo's Constitution class frigates

Finaly! Fantastic! That one has been bugging me for sooooo long!

LizardmenRule! · Jan 04, 2006, 04:53 PM

Great unit

looks great

The tune of the US Marine Corps anthem is the same as the club song of the Adelaide Crows (the best team in the Australian Football League)

That was in America's early history wasn't it?

We have a long tradition of intervening in those countries whenever they send out their pirates or terirists.

Zion_Withrow · Jan 06, 2006, 01:24 PM

Awesome as usual

utahjazz7 · Jan 06, 2006, 02:27 PM

I love those sails. Great work.

Orthanc · Jan 06, 2006, 02:42 PM

Thanks yet again everyone.

Yeah, it's the Orthanc Standard Sail texture, easiest way to tell a boat is made by me. Sails rule, smokestacks are ugly

1805, according to Google.

Orthanc · Jan 06, 2006, 06:07 PM

According to wikipedia, the Barbary Pirates were pretty much wiped out by the Royal (99% sure that means British) Navy in 1816. America got involved with the Pirates originally to try and hire a navy, that didn't work so well, so they just made their own navy, and when the pirates started bugging them they just met them with ships like the USS Constitution. That's how I summarized the wikipedia article at least.

Wikipedia roxzorz.

Ares de Borg · Jan 07, 2006, 05:51 AM

Kick-ass unit. Thanks, Orthanc.

mrtn · Jan 08, 2006, 10:24 AM

Nice one there.
