mouse of war Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I wouldn't suggest that they be matched with more modern ships but imagine a battle between Greek, Phoenician and Roman galleys - with rams, catapults, archers, greek fire etc. etc. what with the choice of sails and / or oars there could be a whole new level of tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileus Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 What it would be for sure is a drag for devs to create something that would be under-powered and probably rarely used. I dislike this idea very much, mostly for time needed to completion versus the gain for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crankey Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 There is already a ship poll that included a selection of 18th century galleys and oared ships. Your post however suggests that you wish to play a game set between 400 years BC to around 900 AD at least 700 years earlier than Naval action is set. Whilst it might be an interesting notion as an entirely different project I don't see the Devs wanting to spend time recreating this during their busy time with the development of NA. Their may be a duel feature where you could match up the few galleys that hopefully will make it into the game, but I imagine that is as near as you will achieve.

Naxos Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Would be a wonderful topic for an add on or a new game The mediterranean. Greek islands, black sea, sicily, balears, rome, phoenicians, egypt etc... Not realistic for the next months though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatpukk Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Idk what the devs have said about modding, but if they have and "arena" mode with dedicated servers, that could be a possibility. But they way things are looking now i highly doubt there will be any form for modding support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouse of war Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yes, just a thought - I guess the point is that once Naval Action is really rolling in a year or so then it would be relatively easy thing to do. Just a handful of new ship models and the results would be spectacular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrezesOi Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I can only guess, but if galleys will be implemented in NA, then it will be Baltic boats used by Swedish and Russian navies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GL have said galleys are coming, probably in the form of danish-norwegian, swedish and russian small frigates with oars (brits and french too but they were outdated by the 1800s), and my guess is some mediterranian galleys.
