Simple mediaeval ship ("kogge")

[Chamaedrys]

These cheap ship were used by the Hanseatic League and many other European countries till the 14. century. Ships of that type were mainly used to transport goods or troops. Due to the fact that naval warefare at these times means to board the enemy ship, they were also used in conflicts.

Omgomgomg!

Btw, Caravel animations? I gather this means there's only a bit of smoke when the ships attacks another ship?

Nice . Missed that ship.

Hmmm... Nice model! I'm thinking European-specific medieval ship maybe...

OMG Chamaedrys you are getting very good at this! It looks so cool and professional!

Great, Ive been waiting for some new models of Medieval ships (specifically a Dromon/Carrack/Longship for unique units).

Good Stuff.

Nice unit, Chamaedrys.

I have a question though. Where are you getting your textures? or do you create them yourself?

I seem to have big problems when it comes to "getting the texture" most of the time i'll download the .dds from another game. But I was wondering what other methods there are that may help me with my problem.

Thanks in advance

Chamaedrys, what a wonderful unit .

Very impressive. I like the sail a lot since that's something that I simply couldn't wrap my mind around when trying to make a ship.

That is some impressive work there

Keep on pumping out those awesome units!

 

[Chamaedrys]

Thanx.

That ship was on my list for some time.

Btw, Caravel animations? I gather this means there's only a bit of smoke when the ships attacks another ship?

Well, it moves and attacks like a caravel.

I usually raid and modify vanilla material, at least I've paid a lot of money for that game. I've taken the sail texture from another ship, the wood texture comes from the lumber mill (I've made it a bit darker). The flag and the hatches are done by myself.

I've done it with blender. I took two "plain"-meshes, stick them back to back and subdivide them 3 or 4 times.

Could someone please make a button for this? I plan on adding this to the European Middle Ages Mod.
