Please game developers, consider adding in a venetian 2nd rate. As a person whos ancestor was a captain (of a merchantmen, sadly) in Venetian fleet in Dalmatia isles i would love to sail one. even if it means she will rock on the ocean waves unsteadily left and right.

Haratik Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Unknown Third rate ship-of-the-line (Mid 18th century) A contemporary model of a vessel of the order of St. John Maybe the San Giacomo http://threedecks.org/index.php?display_type=show_ship&id=15024 Unknown Maltese I believe the answer to this model lies in one of the several conversations we have had on the topic of Maltese ships Mr Sella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Could you tell us a bit more about it mr maturin? The Knights of St. John are frequently referred to as Christian Pirates. Clearly this means that the pirates in the game should have the best fortresses and melee bonuses because they wear full plate armor and wield greatswords.

LeBoiteux Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The Knights of St. John are frequently referred to as Christian Pirates. Clearly this means that the pirates in the game should have the best fortresses and melee bonuses because they wear full plate armor and wield greatswords. The knight of St. John was a powerful and rich religious order that included in its ranks Christian Nobles such as the French Admirals d'Estrées, Tourville and Suffren and that, among other things, acted as privateers against Ottoman/Barabry states traders in the Mediterranean Sea. Daring comparaison to NA pirates. (the second daring one after that of XVIIth-XIXth naval paintings to photorealism ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the second daring one after that of XVIIth-XIXth naval paintings to photorealism ) I'm more surprised that maturin dared to assume that they wore full plate and wielded greatswords all the way up to the Napoleonic era. Maybe a few, but the entire corps? That's a rather uncharacteristic statement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That model is indeed the San Giovanni. She's on a future vote of ships of the line for me, but as I stated before, I will be eyeing frigates and smaller vessels for the next vote or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the equation Malta = pirates, so NA pirates "should have the best fortresses and melee bonuses" sounds either audacious, ironic or for fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sella Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Really nice findings! Although not entirely Italian they are still welcome!! It seems the first one is Amphitrete and the second one Hebe? If i am reading it correctly of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Fishy Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 This isn't strictly a ship (fairly obviously) but this is a map of the Venetian Arsenale, the rectangles shaded yellow are the ones specifically used as sheds for building and maintaining large frigates, the largest being the yellow labelled 1-8 with the writing "Isolotto" written over themYou can also see the location of the main water gate positioned in the transparent rectangles with NA written over them, this is to allow larger ships to easily be produced and access the Arsenal for maintenance and refitting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
