@Xerecs: Between that and Loyal, somewhat of a negative. However, I don’t really think Sniping is very valuable. It sounds better than it works. It could be amazing on something like the Naegling though. My bad for not posting the ability with the “new keyword”. [You may double the range of this ship’s cannons each turn, but you must roll a 6 to hit.]
With a recent influx I am happy to say that Pirates of the Epic Seas now has over 800 total game pieces! 😀 I celebrate with another 10 master reveal!
Colossal Rupture
Faction Affiliation: Mercenary/Cursed
Rarity: LE
Type: Ship
Point Value: 34
Number of Masts: 10
Cargo Space: 5
Base Move: S
Cannons: 4S-4S-2S-2S-2S-3S-3S-4S-3S-3S
Ability: Mercenary. Junk. Rupture. [New keyword: Once per game, cut in half everything within S of this ship, then remove 5 of this ship’s masts. All ships within S lose half of their remaining masts and half of their crew, rounding down for odd numbers. All ships and wild islands lose half of their gold coins. Forts lose half of their remaining flags. This ability also affects submerged game pieces and game pieces that would otherwise not be affected. This ability cannot be copied.]
Link: Taiken
Flavor text: The ship designated as part of the Cataclysm. Admiral Taiken is said to worship both God and the Devil on equal terms. There are rumors that rats help with the crew’s daily tasks. Few have been aboard. Said to have gained power from more than one of the Cursed “overlords”, this ship is nearly ready to change the face of the planet. Time will tell if the grand event is worth the hype. Even the Kings of Europe cower in fear to the demands of this bizarre collaboration.
O_O One of the many epic “grand” customs I made last year!! The new ability is really rough. With a house rule you could even split islands in half too! (even cutting the cardboard islands if you have tons of extras like most people do)
Taiken (“tye-kin”)
Faction Affiliation: Mercenary/Cursed
Rarity: LE
Type: Crew
Point Value: 14
Ability: All-Powerful. When this ship hits another ship, you choose which mast is eliminated. This crew may use his abilities only aboard the Colossal Rupture.
Link: Colossal Rupture
Flavor text: Occasionally an accomplice and partner to the mighty Xenthalos, Taiken is a serious figure in the business of ending the world as most know it. As a major player in the realms of both mercenaries and the Cursed, he has been connecting with various leaders on both sides. Now one of the most powerful men in the southern hemisphere, he is calculating the opportune moment to unveil his secret weapon of choice.
