Adraax: Klyro's City Project

Yes, but the pole will need to be a more bowl like form. At least it's tip...They live in swamplike areas, the bowl-tip will increase the resistance against sinking through whatever is wet and muddy.

Maybe something like this

It's a crude, but it shows what needs explaining.

A common mistake about Gondolas is that they are pushed with a pole, however they are driven by the power of a single oar.
This paddle or oar, is a long pole with a 1 metre flat area that is in the water. The side to side motion propells the Watercraft forward.

This is what I had in mind for the house boat.

That's about the same as I thought, Lara. I think I could add a mast and sail somewhere in the boat too, maybe in a storage room.
But as this boat is about 5-10 meter long and weights pretty much, we would need more than one paddle.

Absolutly, a craft that size would need more than one for control alone.
You could have as many as you like but i think 4 large ones would work.

Good job, everybody. All we need is Kixie, I think I found him. Only in a new "form" ^^
Earlier someone asked about ArcaneFalcon. I'll sen him a new PM, I mean. He can't be that shy

Just a sum up of what i think and wonder of everyone
Inca Glad you approved of Xillix's story. You're number one when it comes to feedback
Minetus how are you doing with the terrain. Might we have any report on how it's turning out?
Arangol keep working on the houseboat. It's still a bit crude and we need to know where to put hard edges and soft edges, just to make it nicer
Xillix once again i'm glad you joined the team. One day hasn't passed without a hint to what can be improved, stay that way . As was told before I have and am going to try, contacting Kixie. I have a slight idea at where he's at.
Laragorn always new fresh ideas, and your pictures aren't that bad either. You will just have to be more careful with what you draw and through that you will gain selfconfidence and maybe draw some more
Kondrakier how are  you doing? Haven't seen you for long.

[minetus]

i didnt update here yet because there is nothing new

[rast]

hi all - srry i haven't posted for a day or 2.
i got all of the sugestions that inca made done and i added a crows nest.i will try to get more of your sugestions done next xilla. i also made an anchor but i didn't fix it on when i made these screenies (btw - i didn't add hamoks coz'  klyros sleep upside down sorry ):




also - if anyone can make a nice concept of a ship mounted cross bow, i can improve the current versions

@arangol
looks good, but how about a chain/rope conected to a heavy piece of something (rock?) ,on the sea bed, to stop it floating away?

[Baldur]

nvm

[minetus]

rast that ship looking better day by day
ill try scketching a catapult as soon has i can, the heat wave in my ccountry is frying my brain

about the map ive came up with the river path ways on low tide..


in the coral zone: there are caves beneath it that let the water flow creating some fresh water lakes
open for discussion and improvements

[Arangol]

I'm quite enjoying the last days of my vacation, so I won't do any work on the boat for some days 

Looks good Minetus, I'm in a hurry, my computer is restarting in 10 sec.

This ship is for ramming other warships at the lower base of thier hulls so that they in turn take in water and begin to sink. The ram is a solid timber that travels the entire length of the ship and is attached to the mast in the stern. The exposed part of the ram is metal capped and is just above the water. The ship is steered by its 10 ores, which, along with its ballon like sail, give it a large amount of speed in order to deeply penetrate into the enemy ship. The Captain makes calls from the rear deck which would then travel below deck to the oresmen via a pipe (not shown). there is an observation tower at the head of the mast that can be climbed op to from a ladder on the rear of the mast (not shown). this tower can also be used for gliding klyros to other ships for raiding.

That looks awsome Gentar 

exellent work

Good work, that almost looks like the Shazzer, style-wise. What did you use to fill in the lines?

[Gentar]

a pen

[Baldur]

Was to write you a very long message until I realized my poor english.
A pen, you say...
