Hurray to Air Pirates :)

This is a pretty good attempt I think, I like the overall look but oc would need to fit the Lu style. Yup, excited about the airships! :)

(quite quick model/texture, so nothing special here)
This whole thread inspired me to start an "air race" modmod idea for the FFH2 using the Barbarian Camp system from the barbarian scenario, but I don't know how to get my units in game with full animation etc.; mainly because there're no advanced tutorials to make complex units and I don't want to re-texture existing...
When I'll be able to do it (I hope I'll find the info somewhere) I'll see the 0.34 system for airships Kael suggested and I hope I'll make this small thing.

Hurray to Air Pirates :).

P.S. Also Lanun may be able to get some kind of "Flying Hollander" with late magical/divine techs. I find it fitting.

LOL. Ever heard of the Troll Sky Pirates from Earthdawn? Sounds like a cool idea Deon.
 
I've remade the model a bit (no texture yet):

Also it was made like a goblin/barbarian airship, not Lanun :).
What is the best texture for the balloon fabric? I mean color... I don't like the previous one I used anymore :).

No, by Lu I meant Luchuirp ;)

I think the colour should be fairly drab, like beige or coppery brown. I guess the dirrigible (balloon) would be made from some kind of treated cloth over a light metal framework, if that helps.. I like the more of a gondola style you've gone for in second pic, keep it up! :)
Maybe needs to be a tad more streamlined..

Normal greyish, have steel on the edges so it looks like a zeppelin.
 
Other nations could receive hot air balloons instead of airships. These could be slower and have small unit capacity than airships. Balloon graphics can be gotten from the Espana 1936 mod.

An arabian/desert style Civ (Malakim?) could have flying carpets. A machinery based civ (Luichirp maybe) might develop Ornithopters.

A cool idea would be to give it a spell "land" and "fly". If it lands on a land tile it becomes immobile, if it lands on a water tile it becomes a ship (same mesh but "lowered" to the ground level). The trick is that it takes light damage by strong winds while in the air so it should be able to repair itself while it's on land. There may be "repair crew" crew type which increases regeneration a bit and allows it to fly longer, also "fair winds" spell may negate the damage effect thus making it a very useful spell for airships.
 
I will not be able to get my copy of FFH 2 0.34 before beginning of next week, but I'm realy currious about the airship.

Can somebody please give a picture and stats of the airship?
 
i must say, i love the new airships the kurio's got. High movement + high cargo capacity allow you to move your stacks faster through enemy territory than any raider leader could even dream of. Champion + catapult stacks are feasible again!
 
would be cool if the ships could bombard
