I´m looking for a unit that could be best used as the Oak built (only saildriven) Veneti Ship that faced Caesar around 50BC. Battle of Morbihan Gulf.
It is supposed to be bulky without oars but very defensive strong.
IMHO it could be the second development of the "strange" looking Curragh in Civ3 for northern countries and especially the Gauls.
Then the Viking Longships came along followed by the Cog.
Any hints on what already created unit could be used ?
a little quote
The Veneti were the main naval power of Gaul. They dominated the trade with Britain, and had a fleet of solidly build ships well suited to local conditions. Caesar describes them as having shallower keels than Roman ships, which made them better suited for operations in tidal waters; as being constructed entirely of oak, with high prows and sterns which made them more able to resist the Atlantic storms, and also made them almost invulnerable to standard Mediterranean ramming tactics.
