Roman era small naval mod
Hello everyone.
Well... ETW got out, and everyone wants to see romans fightning on see. Well.. I'm hoping that I can make that possible. I'm gonna start this test-mod to look how far Naval battles can be modded. I've made a few steps I am looking forward to implent:
- Rip everything out except naval battles.
- Replacing cannons with ballista's.
- Edit the Galley model to make a bireme, trireme and a Quadrireme.
We only have to wait for a ship model converter...

Sounds like a good idea, can we edit models in Empire yet?

Re: Roman era small naval mod
No, we cannot open the meshes yet. I do like the idea though, im currently working on the other direction and wonder if turrets can be animated and ships could move independant from the wind.
Do you have proper plans already? Those are hard to find, although galleys are way easier to build than a modern battleship.

In the Roman day's didn't ships mostly rammed other ships, isn't that why the fronts where always made of iron?

Re: Roman era small naval mod
The ramming device was made of wood mantled with bronze, iron would be corroding fast especially in salty water. They also had a boarding bridge with a long iron nail which was rammed into the other ship in order to board it. Well and of course the ballistas and catapults. Ramming another vessel was risky, and your most likely stuck yourself vulnerable for attacks.Originally Posted by WRL

Re: Roman era small naval mod
The most dificult part will be the sceleton that will allow the roars moovements and their distruction in the battle...:hmmm:
TGC in order to continue its development seak one or more desicated scripters to put our campaign scripts mess to an order plus to create new events and create the finall missing factions recruitment system. In return TGC will give permision to those that will help to use its material stepe by step. The result will be a fully released TGC plus many mods that will benefit TGC's material.
Despite the mod is dead does not mean that anyone can use its material
read this to avoid misunderstandings.
IWTE tool master and world txt one like this, needed inorder to release TGC 1.0 official to help TWC to survive.
Adding MARKA HORSES in your mod and create new varietions of them. Tutorial RESTORED.

Re: Roman era small naval mod
Yeah, that will be the biggest problem I think. That's why I'm first gonna try to edit them

Re: Roman era small naval mod

Re: Roman era small naval mod
Please keep working on this!
Ancient naval battels would be truly awesome!
PS Nice to see someone has a copy of "Warfare in the Classical World" as well!

Re: Roman era small naval mod
Is anyone working on it? Because it seems that CA is not going to release the modding tools.

Ships aren't tied to the wind in ETW.DB files

Aradiel if you put coefficient 1 in all the stats bellow you will run the same speed in all wind courses, as wind will not affect you.

Re: Roman era small naval mod
Well don't you think that Roman ships went faster with the wind behind them? Sail and rowers?
Re: Roman era small naval mod
That would be true if it was standard practice to use sails in battle. The fire hazard and allowing your vessel's manouverability be strongly influenced by the wind were the main reasons why almost all ships unstepped the mast and hauled in their sails when closing up for battle.
Shipe, even quinqueremes, were pretty unstable. The Romans lost about 120 ships because they were suckered into a strong breeze by the salty sea dog Carthaginians and their corvus (movable gangway) mounted ships capsized.
