Got it working now. Just delete all references to the Galley in the Mercenary unit files and the lua.

Be aware that this mod does not fully work with JFD's Rise to Power subscribed. The unit exists, has a range attack and the tech are all there. But you can't actually build one.

I finaly have wish to give it a try again. Looks like it's woth it!

Ditto what Clark said. I think version three of Barbarians Evolved broke this one because it worked until I updated that mod.

Can you please get rid of the fishing tech?

This mod used to work but I guess I have added other mods that stop it. The galley is still there in the tech tree but I can never build them. At one point in the past it still worked but I have added a ton of other mods (mostly civs and Barbarians Evolved V3) and I don't want to take the time to figure out what is breaking it...:(

is this supposed to make trirremes ranged in bnw? because it makes them ranged in bnw...

The fishing mod is already built into this one.

can we use this with your fishing mod?

Is it possible that the barbarians would have a chance to spawn galleys and triremes? I've played Mods with something like this and too often you'd get 2-3 galleys shooting at you from off-shore and if you didn't have archery, you just had to take it. Also, with a trireme in the mix, you can reasonably have to worry about the barbarians taking a city from the sea with a gally/trireme combo.

and more. I think it would have been important to mention that all ships seem to lose 1 movement point from the default

does this require gods and kings?

No it is not. I have to apply the PROMOTION_ONLY_DEFENSIVE promotion to it, like other ranged units. I'll fix it soon, thanks!

The Galley is allowed to use a melee attack... is this on purpose?

Thanks, and certainly, go right ahead.

Really good job, well done! I'm building a MASSIVE overhaul of Civ5. I ask for permission to include part of your mod (giving credit of course!). Thank you in advance for the reply.

Thanks, Blax, whenever I get around to updating this old mod, I'll check those out.

Also although you can get fishing boats at "fishing" you dont link any resources until you have sailing.

The Quinquereme Civopledia needs the age its in changing to classical now. Looks good expands navel in a nice simple way.

Ok. I do believe I see your point(s). That was just an odd idea that had been floating around my head; thanks for the feedback on it.

Ultimately, I decided to keep things simple. I never liked ironclads moving very fast on coast to begin with (for gameplay purposes) and believed their value lied more in there immense strength and ability to crush the earlier ships.

Eric, take a look at how the existing code is setup and what's available, and you'll see why. ;) I'm not sure if anything new was added with BNW, but I doubt it.

It is possible though, as I fooled around with a mod (that I never published) which allowed all naval to travers ocean, only the early ones did so at 1/2 the cost.

I believe you'd have to make oceans cost 2 movement and give a new "double moves in ocean" promo to all naval units which can traverse ocean (so they move at the same rate) except for the ironclad.

Also, there's no +0.5 movement. The unit would still gain a +1 in both coast and ocean.

Regarding the ironclads and the ludicrous speed: why not double their movement, remove the 2x moves in coastal waters, and then give them 0.5x moves in deep ocean? This way a +1 movement bonus would be only +1 tile's worth of movement in coastal waters and +0.5 tiles' worth in ocean, fixing the ludicrous speed issue, yet retaining the ironclad's advantage in coastal waters.

You're correct to say "galley" is a far broader term than trireme; iirc early English historians used it to describe Viking longships, and many years later applied it to Tunisan pirates. In the Punic wars (Rome vs. Carthage), the ships with a meaningful ranged attack were galleys with five or six banks of rowers that mounted catapults (iirc). This sort of galley was heavy and slow, and I assumed they were the sort of galley you intended.
See http://www.utexas.edu/courses/citylife/readings/ships.pdf page 15 for a discussion of massive, heavy, long range galleys.
The units in the game look like they have an open deck and a single row of oarsmen, which would be consistent with lighter, swifter craft. Certainly they would carry some ranged weapons.
For gameplay... It would be pointless to have galleys as melee units. If the gameplay is fun, then I won't complain about any fuzziness of historical terms.

Thanks for the feedback. Hmm, I'd have to look into that. I always thought "galley" was just a broad term and triremes were simply a specific type of galley; same as biremes and such. When I made the mod, I was initially going to rename the galleys to "biremes", but in the end, just decided to stick with the original name Firaxis has used and what players are accustomed to seeing.

With further regards to sense and real life, one could also argue that they're more of a ramming type of ship as well. But for gameplay purposes, I thought it best to give them a ranged attack to utilize instead (the same reason why destroyers are melee in the game).

I love the idea of this mod, but IRL galleys are a more advanced sailing vessel than the trireme, and were in use much later in history than the trireme. Wouldn't it make more sense to make the galley available with Optics instead?
(even though I suggest changing the techs, I wouldn't suggest changing the cost, power or ranged power of the units)
All the other tweaks you've made to naval units make sense. Great idea limiting the ludicrous speed of the English ironclad!

Ahh... is there a way you could make this compatible with Community Call to Power?
