Unit: Clipper (Oct 1st, 2004)

[Mithadan]

A gorgeous unit, aaglo. No more galleons transforming into landing craft for me!







BTW, that reed boat request sounds pretty cool, too!

 

[10lire]

Good for me! Thanx a lot!

 

[Ukas]

Excellent unit.. makes me want to sail away on it.

 

[Ares de Borg]

Great work, as always. ;-)

 

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Oh, thanks Aaglo for the instantly works! Now I can trade with my Indian colonies!

 

[Colonel Kraken]

Dios mio. Fantastico!

You've made mine look like an embarrassment.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Yours wasn't that bad Colonial, besides, it had a purpose, as a good filler unit.

 

[Amenhotep7]

Quite simply your best unit yet! Shall you ever cease to amaze?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Yeah, Colonel, you're definitely being WAY too hard on yourself... yours was truly amazing for cut and paste. I'd say probably the single greatest cut and paste job I've ever seen. Indeed, I would've used it in a second if it'd been completed. Well, now we have a solution to that problem!

 

[Louis XXIV]

Looks absolutely great.

What are your plans for your next ship

Old Ironsides

 

[TopGun]

Aaglo, a masterpiece yet again!

 

[Slave of CIV]

Mmmh! Beautiful work!

 

[Vuldacon]

Great Looking Ship aaglo...Beautiful. Looks like it is going through some rough Ocean in the preview. Nice Work

UPDATE!

I noticed a flaw in the run animation on both clippers - the jib-sails ('lanteen' sails between the masts) movement is a bit crazy. Now they are like they were intended. See the thread starter post for new run-demo and for the updated files.

Sorry for the inconvinience

 

[Vuldacon]

Excellent aaglo ...The Run animation looks much better without the jib sails radically bouncing. Thanks for the correction, it adds to the smooth beauty of your Wonderful creation. The Clipper is a Very Esthetic ship and you have done a superb job with the animation...Love the realistic "movement on the High Seas" affect you achieved along with the overall beauty.

 

[CarnDaWoods]

Truly, a magnificent job. I have not got around to downloading any mods at all, but you have inspired me to have a look and see what is around.

Tech: Nationalism?
Stats: A/D/M = 1/1/6, transports 5 units?

Clipper ships were the Concordes of their day - they were very fast by the standards of the time, but had small cargo holds, and were never heavily armed. Thus, I'm going to use:

Nationalism: 0/0/6, transports only 3.

They will rely on speed to stay away from warships. Thanks again!

Hmm... I don't really feel comfortable taking a hit in the transport capacity department... I'm going to make it the middle man between the Galleon and the Transport. Basically, even if the cargohold is smaller, there might be more of them since a unit is an indefinite number of troops/vessels/vehicles.

I bow to your skills oh mighty ship constructor! May you prosper!

I don't know what happens to a naval unit with Attack and Defense = 0 if attacked; is it "captured" like a ground unit?? Sorry IbnSina, but I think is not realistic the Clipper having A/D=0 where the Curragh has A/D=1. Don't you?

I also agree with Dom Pedro II for the cargo..
