New Unit: Dhow

[Plotinus]

The old Dhow was pretty good (though the cannon attack did limit it), and there were a couple of other Dhow-ish sort of ships (I put them all in my African scenario). But this is a very useful addition. Besides being more detailed, it's smaller, making it more of an everyday Arabian Dhow. Great stuff.

The old Dhow was made by Embryodead, and was pretty good. This unit is pretty good too, and it even looks a bit different, so it could be used as an upgrade for the older Dhow

Luddi and I used this unit you mention in our Rise and Fall of the Mughals scenario. I think we'll be working this one into the upgrade!

Top job!

Excellent

 

[Goldflash]

Thanks. This one will be a sloop replacement for the Arabs and Persians, and maybe Babylon and the Turks as well, then.

It's an multipurpose ship for the Indians as well. If you use it for arabic countries, you might want to call it "Felouka" (that's how Dhows are called in Egypt).

Do you mean embryodead's Dhow?
Arrow attacks are very easy to make:

@aluminium: you got the animations messed up. the ship fires sideways, so it should face N in the E attack, so the arrows go east, and so on in the other attacks. you have it facing E in the E attack, so the arrows go S.

There is a editor option called "rotates to fire", this should sort out the issues you report.

ah, ok. thanks Bjornlo

It's for Embryodead's Dhow. Orthanc's has an arrow attack.

Perhaps someone has already made such a request, but I think we all need a good Viking Longship to carry our Berserkers (as if they weren't already bad enough), so how about it?

I enjoy your units, by the way -- you're the man!

There are 3-4 decent longships.
I can't recall who made them on here for certain, but from my faulty memory: Kal-el and Civ's Army I think both made one. There is a derivative Lodya (sp) in R8XFT's mod (anno domini). I'm certain JUUL's danish mod has several of these as well.
There is also one in civ3 conquests that I like and use. If you need better icons, I made some. Just follow the links in my sig.

Thanks for the info, I'm on it!
