Now can we please go back the the point I made about how what we all wanted Rome 2 to be is now actually a reality! Those 'pre alpha' videos are what AE now looks like, and I'm super super excited about that! I'm hyped, never mind you guys!
My, my... They ARE much better looking with sails! However, like I said before, perhaps you should edit the sails a little bit.

Well, you're right - It IS a bit forward than it should be:
Using Light Liburnian sail model directly on Triremes still have problems on where the ropes are tethered. Its not that clear on your screenshots, but I marked them to make it more apparent.
Light Liburnian sails fits Quinquireme perfectly though
Now, about Heavy Liburnian double sails, sadly its still too big for Quinquireme model
But it seems quite well on a Hexeres or Octeres - its still too low, too close to the deck though
Barbarian ships are mostly too small. Light Longship sails fits Barbarian Heavy Raider length, but not width.
TLDR, I think you guys should edit the models a bit, adjust the ropes and whatnot. But still, They are looking good!
