Hi!

Here is a Mayan macaw galley (fictional ship) which is based on a scetch made by Sword_of_Geddon (thanks ). Enjoy

Here are the files:

Here are some animation previews:

Wonderful, as usual. I should install a macro for yours units

 

[Left]

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

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

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!

 

[utahjazz7]

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

 

[Orthanc]

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...

 

[Ares de Borg]

Nice! Were these actually in use?

 

[BadKharma]

Wow another wonderfull job!

 

[striq]

Another great ship! Good to see you taking a break from the warhammer units for a bit.

 

[tjedge1]

Ah man that is cool. Have to get it.

 

[Goldflash]

Nice! Were these actually in use?

In the first post aaglo said "Fictional".

Still Awesome, though.

 

[Ares de Borg]

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

 

[Bjornlo]

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

 

[Bungus]

Egads, more graphics to add!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

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

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.

 

[Iron Beagle]

The prow looks like the beak of a Tucan.

 

[Vuldacon]

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

 

[Plotinus]

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!
