New Ship: Trireme

This mod replaces the current Viking ship (Drekkar) to a Trireme.

A trireme (derived from Latin: triremis "with three banks of oars;") was an ancient vessel and a type of galley that was used by the ancient maritime civilizations of the Mediterranean, especially the Phoenicians, ancient Greeks and Romans. As a ship it was fast and agile, and it was the dominant warship in the Mediterranean during the 7th to 4th centuries BC, after which it was largely superseded by the larger quadriremes and quinqueremes. Triremes played a vital role in the Persian Wars, the creation of the Athenian maritime empire, and its downfall in the Peloponnesian War.
In the ancient world, naval combat relied on two methods: ramming and boarding. Artillery in the form of ballistas and catapults was widespread, especially in later centuries. Rams (embolon) were fitted to the prows of warships, and were used to rupture the hull of the enemy ship.

If you want to keep your normal windward username (for multiplayer aswell) instead an username only for mods or keep the Drekkar instead of replacing it, you can add the Trireme as a new ship.
Just follow the steps below:

1.Copy the "Viking Ship.bytes" file In Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content. Then make a new folder in "My Documents/Windward" folder and call it Ships, put the "Viking Ship.bytes" in there, rename it to Trireme.bytes and put a txt file in the Ships folder as well with the text from here http://textuploader.com/58kq3 . (copy it) and name it Trireme.txt .


2. After that you start the game, unable mod Trireme (if you don't have any mods selected it will still work in vanilla), open your server, typ: /upload Ships/Trireme.bytes and then typ /set Ships/Trireme.txt.
If you followed these steps it would keep both ships in-game. I couldn't make a mod that just does this straight away. Please send me a comment with any questions or if you have a server with the ship installed because I like playing online.

Have fun with it and a rating is much appreciated!
