This is a fictional african vessel, a 'what if?' ship, for if the africans had ever developed ocean-going navies like Europe did. The name comes from the zulu word for "Ship"

This was done by request, and I'll be making a few more smaller vessels with the same general design, eventually.

The file:
Umkhumbi

Preview attached, enjoy!

Any chance of a screenie? Either a flic demo or even in-game screenshot?

I really like what I see so far, and may include it in the X-Mod if it looks as good as it I hope it does.
 
Alright, I do have a program (the Flic2Gif from these forums) for animated previews, but remember the quality isn't perfect with this program, the flics will look a lot better in flictser. Here's the run animation anyways:

A much needed unit! :goodjob:

You make me really think about learning Pov-Ray....
 
Good to have more choice in big sail ships! Nice one!

Where did you get the design of the sails from?
 
Wow, thanks everyone. The praise I get for my work is pretty much what keeps me going.:D

The next ship will be an 18th-19th century Schooner, and the sails for this ship were based on the sails in this post, which is in my Orthanc's Creation Thread.
 
Orthanc...Great Ship and the Zulus Thank you for this Super Advancement :D :goodjob:

...Here is a Civ Specific units_32.pcx with correct palette for your Umkhumbi if you want it:

I just thought I would say I really do like this, and many of your units. Not sure I was clear on that before.:)
 
Does this have a cannon or arrow attack?
