Do you still need somebody to write ship's descr?
I could write greek/roman ones
Give us a test description of one of the ships you see there is no description for in the game and we'll talk it over O'Etairos. Thanks for the interest.![]()
Thanks for editing Teleklos. Hopefully will be sending them over by tommorrow....
Any other help needed?! Basic text editing(descr_strat.txt and such...)?!
EDIT: Done 2 of them...

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
O'ETAIPOS I would think that the number of "men" in a fleet now represent the number of boats.
Post in here. edyzmedieval can we see them? I'm not bothered about quantity at the moment lets see the quality first so we know we want them and that they won't need changing. -Lu
{tetrere_fleet} Tetrere Fleet
{tetrere_fleet_descr}
\n\n Tetrere is very powerful warship, inferior only to mighty penteres and some rare bigger ships. Ho Basileos, people who seem credibe claim that first four row warships were built by skilled shipwrights from Kart Hadaszt. We also know that as early as two years after 95th Olimpiade (398 BC) Dionysos, tyranos of Syracusai had those in his fleet. Since then they are part of any mighty fleet. If You think of achieving Thalassokratia You should consider reinforcing Your navy with many of those. \n\nAlthough tetreres were the bulk of many hellenistic fleets its costruction is still uncertain. The most probable recontruction states that it has two rows of oars manned by two oarsmen each. The size is also uncertain, but the biggest Athenian docks mesured 37x6 metres. This may suggest that this was the size of the "4" (tetrere) and "5" (pentere) - the biggest ships we know Athens had. If this is true, the crew of tetrere would consist of 232 men operating 116 oars. Some iconography suggest that tetrere was completely boxed-in - had full deck and covered sides,also being two rowed this ship doesn't need outtriggers. On longer voyages, if the wind blowed from behind sails were used (main on the central mast and additional on small mast on the ship's front). The ship was armed with ram, it has also boarding crew of somewhere below 40 men, while the ship was capable of carrying additional 60-80 men. Later some were armed with catapults or balistas.
