Unit: Ship: Ptolemies: Juggernaut

[Enrique]

Ptolemies Champion naval unit. Largest ship in the game. as many oars as possible and two or more large sails. It's possible it might have had a double catamaran hull. Put a lavish tent on the rear between the two aft catapults. Defined as "Floating fortress" it has to look menacing. Needs model and texture.

Pushed to A17 due to lack of activity in the art developpement.

Moving it to backlog as not planned to be done anytime soon but as currently using a roman ship as a replacement.

It's disturbing that the current replacement model is smaller than the other heavy ship that ptolemies can produce :/

[Phormio]

There is no source of any ship larger than a deceres ever seeing action; the drawing is quite speculative too. I doubt it had those towers, which would be more typical of late Republican Roman warships.

Perhaps we should just use the octeres model with some fancy details?
