The pattern of the Cycle is going to shift, as we have now seen the entire faction line up for the English, Americans, Pirate, Cursed, Spanish and Mercenaries, leaving only the titular Nexus Alliance, French and Ionics left with ships or crew still to be seen. We’ve begun seeing the various Unique Treasures and some Equipment but we’ll likely be done with them soon. Still to come are the Super Rares of the Farthest Shore along with the SE and LE ships crew, and a few Islands. Today however we are cycling back to the Nexus Alliance with a double helping, the rest of their Forts and a crew!
