You could call it the Citlalpol, which means "Big Star" in Nahuatl.

Yes, Partizanac got two units at the end there, which pretty much means he has a spot at the top of the Units for August 2008 to-do list. I was more willing to add those due to the fact that I already have the human model, I'd just have to make two new guns. Otherwise the Orthanc economy is quite taxed.

You should just stop taking requests for a while, man. I want to wait to request something til your to-do list clears up, but it never does! If it was me, I wouldn't take any requests until my list cleared up a bit, but that's just me,

This is what I'm trying to get people to do, stop making requests until the list clears up, I like being helpful but I think I will have to officially stop request list additions for a bit. And considering school starts in September I might not re-activate it until school's done again in April and I've managed to get through a good chunk of requests, again.

Oh, well I got my 2 units, and you did a fantastic job with them, so thank you, I`ll keep an eye on that list next year, tho

HunterAnubis, that post contains a painful amount of smilies.
Anywho, got a good bit of the superstructure made for the Citlalpol. Yes, this will be a boat. Yes, this part is made of stone. Yes, I made the superstructure before the actual hull.
This is because I'm still undecided as to how to fit this onto a hull. I figure either have three canoe-like hulls or one really, REALLY fat hull:
Masts will rise from the platforms, except the very top one.
Also, the red parts, that's where cannons will be poking out. I decided on that because otherwise they'd need to poke out through the hull, which'll already be hard enough to make considering it needs to support three pyramids.

Damn, that thing looks like a massive sea behemoth. I hope you can get it to look that big at civ scale as well, would be a shame to have those details go to waste because of such trivial restrictions.

The Trident (for which this is the meso-american version of) used the maximum frame size allowed by FLICster, I'll do the same for this leviathan, so it'll be as big as it can be. It'll probably look larger than the Trident, or at least wider, since the Trident was a monohull, and this is a trimaran
I got the cannons and feathers in, might add a few more details before the masts etc. To make the cannons show up, I made them quite big when you consider the scale (just like the Trident, in real life, this would be the lenght of the Titanic):
Also considering adding some guns facing the bow and stern. Currently there's 90 guns, 45 per broadside, but they're BIG
