Vaya, parece que no soy el unico que dejó de jugar. ¡¡ Hola Pepepotamo !! Mi problema con este juego es la cantidad de tiempo que requiere.

¡¡ Vaya Sigfried !! Veo que sigues por aqui. Hace mucho que no entro .... Pero me lo estoy replanteando. Sobre ciclos diurno/nocturno .... En la zona tropical donde se desarrolla el juego, la noche y el dia deberian tener practicamente la misma duracion, con crepusculos muy cortos.

Sorry but the plans above, supposed to be for the Spanish Diana are incorrect. The originals from Julian de Retamosa are at everybody's disposal at the Spanish Naval Museum located at Madrid. A copy of that original is included into this forum. Cant remember the exact location. Regards

I disagree Point 1: Spain, if compared with England or France is a lot more wooded, being the Oak, the most common tree. Being Spain the most Mountanious country in Europe and second regarding mean height over sea level, lot of kinds of Firs and pines are also common. Please dont believe that the whole territory of Spain is like Ibiza or Costa del Sol. Point 2: American wood, was mostly used at American ships yards. Spain built ships at both sides of the Ocean. European territory built ships were mostly made from Oak. Point 3: Mahogany WAS a giant tree, but no really big one survided the Naval construction era. Furnituring and decorative use is a relatively modern activity that gave no place for young trees to grow. In Spanish we have two words for naming Mahogany, Caoba= Old really big Mahogany trees. Caobilla= What reamins today. Little young trees. No ship, at no place in Europe was built from a single kind of wood. It makes no sense. Nothern Europe trees are not good for ship building. Fir, and relatives are only valid for masts. Best woods in Europe all those belonging to the Quercus genus. About Mahogany versus Oak: Mahogany is neither attacket nor corrupted by sea animals, hence drydock operations can be delayed a lot when compared with oak wood and ships performance.is less affected by time. Oak wood is sligtly stronger, but heavier. Hence by compensating the strength difference by slightly thicker parts, still returns a stronger and lighters ship. Regards

You're wellcome :-) I've checked the launch date again. Its 1794

Some more .... Le Petit Chateau located at Sto. Domingo El Plata. At Pto Plata Tropicana. At La Habana El Mondongo. At Veracruz (Mexico) And ... the best thing, they are still there.

Dear Wind: In the Spanish list, you've written "Montañes 1812". She was launched on 1792. As a piece of History, she was the last 74 class built in Europe. Regards

freddykrueger66 What a nice ship ¡¡ Just a question. What is required for a 3D model for being used by this game ? I mean: What parts are required to be built ? I guess, many parts, that can be shared by many models, must be already modeled and kept into a kind of library. What are the model size limits ? Kind regards

DIANA: Spanish frigate. More information ... and CAD plans available http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/306-ship-plans-and-resources/?p=110596

Glory and honour for all of them: Some on the Spanish side: Principe de Asturias: D, Federico Gravina, Antonio de Escaño Santa Ana: D. Ignacio Maria de Alava Santisima Trinidad: Francisco Javier Uriarte. D. Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros San Juan Nepomuceno: D. Cosme Damian Churruca Bahama: Dionisio Alcalá Galiano Neptuno: Cayetano Valdés Montañes: Francisco Alcedo IN MEMORIAM

Spanish MONTAÑES S.O.L 74 canons I have the whole information about this ship, plans above are not from a model, but from the original drawings from D. Julian Martin de Retamosa the naval architect who built her.

Quite a good idea IronKraken ¡ I fully agree with you. Count on me for signing anywere asking for those improvements.

I agree with knowing which ships are in port. Knowing who is the Captain, does not mind for me and, by the way, would not fit with reality.

Hi SteelSandwich: I can't get what do you mean with a "flat surface". No plannar surfaces can be found in any ship of those ages. May we have a deeper explanation ? Another thing is that MAX is not a good tool for accurate ships hull modeling, it is based on meshes, while hulls are built from NURBS. I know MAX has NURBS tools(I've widely used MAX for other purposes), but are very poor when compared with comercial softwares like Rhino and even with free ones as FreeShip. Regards

Malachi, don't forget the Spanish frigate Diana and her sister ships.
