Pack of Galley Variants

Rabbit, White · Oct 15, 2006

This was requested by Arne. Basically the idea was for some variants of the Galley - some barely different, others more different, to create a bunch of ancient trade/cargo ships. To get the most out of these you probably should retexture them, 'cause otherwise for some of them you might not even notice the difference.

Since these are suppose to be trade ships, all have their shields removed. The following screenshots show all the Galley variants with quick notes as to what was changed. In addition there are two Trireme variants here - one with only one sail, the other with no sails at all.

(first screenshot shows the vanilla galley at top right corner)

Nice boats. I can put these to use somehow, I'm sure. :goodjob:

I miss the civ III units. :cry:

, except for the spearman. Thats why my favorite is the one with 2 sails

You still got it Rabbit!

It looks like the one with no head and tail, with a reskin, can become the new "standard" galley, while the vanilla galley can be Longboat Viking 2nd UU.

Jeckel · Oct 15, 2006

Yes, these are super WR. :thanx:

That's an interesting suggestion, I might do something like that for EDU, i.e. give the no head/tail one as the regular and the flavor for vikings and maybe germany as well, would be the vanilla one.

Well, in this case the Russians should have the "viking" longboat as well, since the Rus were from origin a Scandinavian (Swedish) tribe.

Good enough, and I'm thinking maybe the natives then can get the no sails version, kind of an uber-sized and pimped-out version of the canoe if you will

nice boats

Any possibility for a galley variant with a lateen sail (like the Caravel). In the mediterranean, these were the norm during the early middle ages. The triangular sails made for more manueverability.

Thank you for doing this great work. :worship:

I'm pretty happy having some more different ships now.

Thank you again.

These look great WR.

I guess this means I now have to release my random in-game unit graphics mod since there are multiple graphics for the same unit now...

Hopefully intime with your unit editor.

Well, maybe not so random, maybe based on some, oh I don't know, a kind of, what's the word I'm looking for, ah yes - cultural style :mischief:

Either way, sounds like another gem from TheLopez... did I mention yet that I think Firaxis should hire you

ohcrapitsnico · Dec 22, 2006

I think they should hire both of you. You have more artistic ability then them IMO. Your units are really beautiful. Some of Firaxis are good others are bad.(Warlords units are beautiful, vanillas are bad) All your units are beautiful. Did I mention I really like that egyptian spearman?

Is there any way to have the two-sailed galley with team colours instead of orange? I'd like to use it as a Greco-Roman galley...

Refar · Sep 28, 2007

From what i see the shader is set up properly. You need to edit the textures Alpha Chanel to be black where you want have Teamcolor. (Or Grey for partial Team Color). Or you can just use the Stock Galley textere file, it will fit (I believe it has striped sail instead of the >|< thingie), to get team color.

PS.: I edited Rabit,White's texture with the >|< and attached it here.

Uberfrog · Oct 2, 2007

The two-sailed galley doesn't animate properly in-game- it doesn't sway on the sea and is not animated in battle.

In the Civilopedia image of it, it sways fine, but in-game it just stays there, while the other ships bob around happily.

I'm also having this problem with GeneralMatt's Large War Junk http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=5591576#post5591576.

Nothing's wrong with the XML and linking to the folder, as far as I can tell:-

Spoiler :

Am I using the right .kfm?

Refar · Oct 2, 2007

I dont know about the galleys, but the junk is supposed to use frigates animation.
