Should I mention that you vote by posting a message here in the thread? Well, that's what I am looking for. I see little people.

At the least, we may just see a galley pop up as the "ship-wreck headquarters" in the first empire campaign. When I ever get around to recreating THAT. I see little people.

That is pretty much my opinion on the matter. Merchant ship +1

FINAL TALLYgalley= +1, merchant= +5 with countless abstentions So the warship goes into mothballs for now and I will concentrate on the corbita. It took a good amount of web-crawling, but I unearthed a schematic for a model Roman merchant ship that has helped me with the hull profile. Here is the plan:
Combined with the various images I've gleaned, I should have enough references for a nice piece of eye candy. Stay tuned for updates. I see little people.

We have a saying in the U.S., SirVer, "You snooze, you lose." I definitely agree with you that both ships would be a great addition to the game, but right now we "only have one nickel to spend in the candy shop." Thank you to all who voiced a preference. I hope to have something to show my progress for you soon. To do that, though, I'd better get back to work. Edited for spelling

For those who may be curious as to EXACTLY where I stand with the ship, here is a snap of the blender model as it currently stands: LOTS more to do!! PS - Don't worry about the color of the hull. I see little people.

Progress ReportI made some headway today. This is how the ship stands now: Still have to clean up the railing area, do the castle, tillers, hatch, rigging, etc., etc., ... Zzzzzzz Goodnight. I see little people.

Very promising, Chuck, as always. Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills.

Wow, you became much more sophisticated with your use of blender, chuck! I like the ship - she looks very sturdy. I am not too fond of the swan though - it somehow mismatches my understanding of the empire. They are very arranged and military type of society - I doubt the swam would have much position in their mythology.
