Great! I hadn't found a "Better Ship Scale Mod" for warlords yet. Thanks!

Hi, Elhoim
I have a question, why do you make Transport smaller than Caravel?

 

[Elhoim]

Because I have no idea how big those transports really are

I imagined them like the ones in the movie "Saving Private Rian", and they weren´t too big.

On a side note, they are the same size as a caravel, but the later has bigger sails

If you can give me real life sizes of both I can change them a little

Hope this helps: Transports

Ok those little boats where "Launched" from the large transports so that the troops could get to the beach since if a real troop transport got anywhere near the beach it would ground itself....... When you think transport think OIL TANKER or CARGO CARRIER

Thanks! I´ll make them a little bigger, but not too much as the artwork is of the little boats instead of the large transport, so it wouldn´t be quite right to make them like battleships or carriers

Wow! I think this is great! I can use this in another mod, right?

Most probably yes. Perhaps if you can be more especific I can help you more!

 

[Elhoim]

If anyone wants to know, the mod is compatible with Warlords 2.08

Thanks!

I´m somewhat busy these days, but I´ll see if I make a fleets version for Warlords.

Has there been any progress toward this? If not, is the stumbling block lack of time, lack of our interest, or some fundamental change that makes it difficult to do fleets in warlords?

Laziness...

Thanks Elhoim.
Looks great.

They still look good when battling each other as fleets?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Nice work Elhoim!

 

[Elhoim]

Thanks Elhoim.

Yeah, they do. The battles are one on one, IIRC.

Nice work Elhoim!

Thanks!

I downloaded it but I dont know how to use it in the game could you please help me.

Could you be a little more especific?

Here are the instructions:

For Basic and Fleets: Put the file in the CustomAssets folder in My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4, and then extract it.

For Basic and Fleets Warlords: Put the file in the CustomAssets folder in My Games\Warlords and then extract it.

Hope it helps!
