Looks cool. Really nice replacement for caravel.

Beautiful, great job!!!

Here we go again. Another boat for my mod!

 

[Lusikka755]

Really nice one!

Does anyone have any name suggestions? "Native-American sailing ship" is a bit lame name

 

[Risbinroch]

I don't know... But what about a native-american word for "shark, dolphin, wavebreaker, seamonster, seagull etc..."

I was just thinking of using a name like "Iroquois... etc" But another name would be good...

 

[Risbinroch]

Found a site that translates english into Ojibwe and Odawa (Don't know if they belonged to Iroquois or not, I'm no expert on native ameircans...):

I will use it for myself anyways:

Seagull = gayaashk
Boat = jiimaan
Feather = miigwan
Water = nibi

etc etc, I don't know what I will use though. The translator couldne't translate words like Ship, Sea. Because I thought I could use Sea Ship...

good job

 

[Wladislaw]

Your boats are amazing. Great Work!!!!

Keep 'em coming

 

[MattII]

Maybe use the arrow one for a Meso galley, and the cannon one for a Meso caravel.

Thanks for the link. "Gchi- Jiimaan" is what I named it, it means "big boat". Don't know how to pronounce it, though.

Very nice . Unfortunatly, some of the names people are suggesting are very hard to pronounce, . 'Gchi,' hmm... I have honestly never seen a 'ch' follow a 'G' very confusing. Regardless, great unit.

BTW: You could always just name it Odawa Jiimaan, seems like it fit the purpose.

Well I know you're looking for a name so here is some Cherokee for ya.

big = equa
ship = tsiyu
sail = a'isv
war = danuwa
ocean = amequohi
arrow = gatlida or guni
oar = gagawasti
feather = ugidali

In Cherokee "v" is the Romanicized/Anglicized letter for the nasalized "u" sound. Think of it as a "u" with a tilde which is used on such letters like "ñ" and "ã".

I'm native american therefore i'm always looking for more native american units thanks a lot

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Good job! Now finally the Native Americans get a boat thats more advanced than a canoe!

You should really think about doing a Mesoamerican boat next.
