Way back in 2006 when Krenzo had plans for introducing ships I made a couple of battleships and a motorboat: Apologies for the terrible water in the battleship renders If you want to use the models and work on them then I'll happily send you over the files, they're modelled in blender but I can export to a different format. They're not unwrapped as I always hated doing that back then and I was lazy at the time
second and third im guessing is the same ship. looks good. The main turrets tho... are too large to spin for how close they are to the upper decks. Other then that... someone make a troop only map with that ship in it to fight over.
What is empires unity? My knowledge of the current dev setup is a wave of steam messages from MOOtant over the space of 20 minutes which covered everything from the various repositories and logins to what line endings to use. Like I said I'll send them to anyone that wants them, they've just been gathering dust for 5 years as it is.
