I think that there's nothing nice in a drowning ship (especially if you're in one).

As I comemnted in the provoew thread the first sail on the two-sailed galley should be slightly smaller.

Edit: Very Nice Work

If you look close enough, you can see that the front sail is slightly smaller

Me too... Awesome ships again, aaglo!

Anybody know if this unit, or one of the Corsair units, would be appropriate for a Barbary Pirate unit? (Am too lazy to go and search the internet myself, thought somebody might know offhand.)

Mithadan - the corsair ships would. I think the only true "Corsairs" were Barbary pirates.

aaglo - more perfection! thank you!

 

[Vuldacon]

Splendid Work aaglo...Thanks

Darn you aaglo , Now I have to redo my Imperialism Mod pack

Oh and excellent unit BTW .

 

[Lusikka755]

Nice ships!

BTW, do you use the original trireme hull as a base for nearly all of your ships or do they look a little alike for some other reasons?

The barbary pirates favored light, fast ships called xebecs (xebeci? ). From Wikipedia.com:

A xebec, also spelled xebeque, jabeque, sciabecco, and chebeck, was a small, fast, three-masted (but originally two-masted) vessel of the 16th to 19th centuries used exclusively in the Mediterranean Sea, with a distinctive hull, which added a pronounced overhanging bow and stern, and rarely displacing more than 200 tons.

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, a large xebec carried a square rig on the foremast, lateen sails on the others, a bowsprit, and two headsails.

They were greatly favored by Mediterranean nations as corsairs, and for this purpose were built with a narrow floor to achieve a higher speed than their victims, but with a considerable beam in order to enable them to carry and extensive sail plan. When used as corsairs they carried a crew of 300 to 400 men and mounted up to twenty-four guns according to size.

I would say that the corsair is close enough, although it is a bit heavier in the hull and has only two masts.

Here's a pic:

No I don't. This unit was completely based on the galleasses - and it's actually the vise versa (galleass was basically nothing but an upgraded galley).
