aaglo, you have simply outdone yourself - beautiful ship. For those wondering where this fits in on the tech tree, it should be noted that the Chinese were building these about the time the first caravels were coming into use. I intend to use this as a UU for the Chinese (bye bye, rider!), available at the same time as the Caravel and with the ability to cross ocean squares. In real life they did lose a lot of these on their voyages of discovery, but had China's internal problems not precluded the continued exploration and colonization of the Americas, I have no doubt that the information gathered by the first voyagers would have cut the risks considerably - Imagine, Cortez showing up at Mexico City only to find the Aztecs have Iron and Horses, courtesy of the Chinese American history could have turned out very differently.
American history could have turned out very differently.
aaglo -- another beautiful unit!
-- and I definitely concur with Ivan the Kulak's thoughts on its use.
Best,
Oz

An oil tanker to serve as a modern merchant ship by which u can build improvements or wonders instantly.
It would be neat!
Then u should reeeaally upgrade your marine forces to protect your oil tankers

Awesome an ancient giant ship.
Perfect for hauling a bunch of infantry to attack neighbors in fantasy mods.

i think they used to ferry exotic animal from africa back to china using this! 
at the time it sail, twice the size of any european ship. it was the 1st real bid china made to explore the world. these ship help secure trade deal, foreign contact, culture exchanges.
the "royal yellow" used by malaysian sultan today were part of the imperial exchanges between malaysia and china. these ship has indeed made cultural impact that lasted until this very day.
the shipyard that built these giants no longer exist. but even the wood leftover from the construction were huge and impressive. good job bring a bit of lost history back to us!

This has to be the best unit I've ever seen. They should use this as the Chinese naval UU in Civ4..... where I hope Firaxis will provide more than one UU per civilization.
