Viking LongBoat and Viking Horseman

[CivArmy s. 1994]

@Tycho Brahe, thanks for have enjoyed :0 My model said "Viking Boat" maybe it is another kind of Viking boat, I don't know

Yeah, it's not a longboat, but you can use it as another ship for the vikings, personally I think it can be used as a Galley flavour unit.

I think I would need change the name for "Viking Galley" There is any specific name for this kind of galley of Vikings?

Vikings did not use Galleys, those were Mediterranean.
They did use a variety of longboat style ships. Variety is always good.

I don't know if they had anything very "galley-like", but it's looking quite close to a "Knarr":

I guess that's what it's modelled after.

Viking or not, the two or them are in my next patch

Well, I use your boat and have divided the existing longboats into three catagories.

SKARFI: Your boat. A skarfi is a rather short longboat, about 20m in length. An example would be the Oseberg ship.

LONGBOAT: The stock civ longboat.

DRAKKAR: The other longboat that is around (don't know by which creator). Drakkars are the largest longboats and were often owned by kings only.

PS: A longboat is by NO MEANS a galley. The hull structure and its sailing capacities are by far different.

I fixed the gfx-glitch in the ship attack.

I fixed the gfx-glitch in the ship attack.

thanks!
I downloaded the file and look like u rise the sizes of the file in 10%, I think. Is this the single action necessary to fix the bug or there is any other tip?

 

[mrtn]

No, I removed some shadows too, in the N direction (ie the one shooting to the right). The bug comes when you make the flc the first time in flicster, afaik...
