Two more Frenchmen from the Farthest Shore!
Le Fantôme
French
Points: 12
Masts: 3
Cannons: 2S-2S-2S
Cargo: 2
Movement: L+S
Ability: If this ship ends her turn in a fog bank, she may leave from any other fog bank in play on her next turn. Once per turn, when this ship hits another ship, eliminate one cargo from that ship.
Flavor: Swift and mysterious, the Fantôme is all but a ghost ship, seeming to appear and disappear at will, evading capture from both enemy imperials, and the French Royal Navy.
Invincible
French
Points: 14
Masts: 3
Cannons: 2S-3L-2S

Ability: Ironclad. English ships get +1 to their canon rolls against this ship.Flavor: Second of the Gloire-class ironclads to be built, the Invincible’s crew had enjoyed relatively calm patrols through North American waters until the discovery of the Farthest Shore. Now, rejoining the veteran warships, her crew can only hope that she’s still as sturdy as the day she was launched.

Uhyggelig feels underwhelming to me. I could see her at 10 points.
Is Abraham’s +2 bonus for cannon and boarding rolls? It might be better to have a semicolon so it doesn’t seem like a separate ability. I could see someone construing it as +2 to d6 rolls against sea creatures. I’m not sure if I love Wizkids’ way of doing it, but it is pretty clear. Ex (Kodiak): This ship gets +1 to her boarding rolls. She gets +2 instead if her opponent is a sea monster.
Solomon Kaine looks quite useful! Name threw me for a second since I just rewatched Mission Impossible 6. XD

His +2 bonus would be for cannon and boarding rolls against Sea Creatures specifically, but nothing else. I’ll try and re-word his ability to make it more clear.

Movement: S+S+S
Ability: This ship cannot be assigned helmsman crew.Flavor: Made with a streamlined hull and special sails provided by Dalgaard’s followers, the Scimitar is one of the swiftest vessels in the Alliance fleet.

Cargo: 6
Movement: S
Ability: Chain shot. This ship ignores the first hit she takes each turn.Flavor: Thick hull beams hide a cavernous hold in the Katana, which is filled mostly with her impressive armament.

Selene
English
Points: 13
Masts: 4
Cannons: 5S-4L-4L-5S
Cargo: 6
Movement: S+S
Ability: If this ship is not assigned a helmsman crew, roll a d6 after she resolves a move action. On a result of 4-6, this ship can move L.Flavor: The Selene tends to perform better when fewer souls are on board. The few hands who always sail on her can handle her with such precision that they often don’t need more than a handful of sailors.
Both of those look interesting, and pretty neat. Maybe you’ll use the Vassal on VASSAL in CG4. XD
Heh, there’s a possibility of that happening.
The Inferno
Pirate
Points: 11
Masts: 3
Cannons: 3S-3L-3S
Cargo: 6
Movement: L
Ability: Treasure Ship. If sunk, eliminate all treasure on board from the game; it is not divided among the players.
Link: Captain William PordovalFlavor: As the story goes, One-Eyed Willy stole vast amounts of treasure and loaded it onto the Inferno. The British king sent an armada of ships to track down Willy and the treasure. After a battle of massive scale, the Inferno fled, but the British tracked Willy to a cave and blew up the walls around the ship, trapping Willy, his crew, and the treasure.
Captain William Pordovel
Pirate
Points: 7
Ability: Limit. Ransom. Hostile: England, Spain. Captain. Once per turn, you may eliminate one of this ship’s crew. If you do, one crew or ship within L of this ship can’t use its ability that turn.
Willy’s Eye Patch
Unique Treasure
Ability: Load this treasure facedown. On any turn, you may reveal Willy’s Eye Patch by turning it face up to give this ship a Parley action without requiring the use of a treasure coin for that shooting action. If you do, remove Willy’s Eye Patch from the game.Thoughts and design details: So obviously the above is very much flavored/directly lifted from The Goonies background and fluff. I love the Darkhawk II but wanted something a little different and the Inferno in the film was a three master. The Treasure Ship ability was an interesting one and I never got to use it myself, but it seems nice on a smaller ship to force OEW onboard if used since that was part of my balancing.
On to the former-jester-turned Captain… he was apparently banished from the Spanish Netherlands for offending the governess and stealing millions from the English make the ill-fated Captain a target from multiple angles. While Willy has powerful abilities in combination, the limit restriction does impose an artificial 5 build point cost to him, artificially making him about 12-13 points depending on how someone rates the Ransom and Hostile keywords. Between the cannon ratings and ranges I can’t see it leading a charge often under the ability, but being a dangerous hybrid or support raider is intended. Willy’s cost does mean your crew options are limited to 4 points or less. Slots for crew are plentiful without hurting the treasure space but you can’t reduce their cost either due to the Treasure Ship keyword. To that end I think I managed to balance him while the Inferno herself is probably a little better than average, but not Darkhawk II levels of above average.P.s. The eyepatch was going to be a free broadsides action with any remaining sails at first. I figured the free parley instead was more chaotic and fun, befitting a booby-trapping jester with the escapades attributed to him. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated!

…..Why did I not think of this already? I love that movie!
Interesting ship, always fun to see a Treasure Ship, and with a very interesting ability especially for people who play by the rules. I kind of house-rule that treasure goes down with ships so I’ve never considered making that an ability for a ship, crew or UT. The point cost is slightly limiting, even for the Pirates, given that OEW is taking up most of the point space on his ship.
While Willy has powerful abilities in combination, the limit restriction does impose an artificial 5 build point cost to him, artificially making him about 12-13 points depending on how someone rates the Ransom and Hostile keywords.
I agree he does have a powerful ability. The wording is similar to a regular canceller crew like Diaz or LeNoir, does this mean that he could SAC a crew on an enemy turn? That might be worth Limit, but if you switch to the normal cancel ability then I’d say you can loose the Limit keyword and open up some combinations. Could you expand on what you mean by Limit giving him “artificial 5 build point cost”? I’m not quite following the logic there.
The Eyepatch would allow you to use Parley, but without sending a coin to your opponent? Hoo, that could get VERY interesting if paired with Nemo’s Plans. 😀
Thank you for taking the time to look it over! I did indeed try to make a combined canceller and SAC action so I mostly lifted the text from the existing cards and mashed them together. I believe normal cancellers should work that way unless I misread those. The artificial point thing is just with the other Limit crew though, you miss out on the “You may build your fleet using 5 more points than the game’s build total.” sort of crew. While I do like the free re-roll 0 cost options too they’re not usually worth sacrificing 5 points to me either.
Nemo’s plans is one UT I hadn’t considered. I pretty much stopped playing right after Revolution and most/all of my knowledge after that was through the site and looking at the Pirates Full catalogue pdf. If the flipping over is part of the cost would that mean Nemo’s Plans resets it to use again or just allows it to be retained (face up) until another ship or item/event could reset it properly?

They do indeed work that way. Since this version requires a crew to be eliminated it’s maybe not as good as the actual ones, but it does have a wider range which is pretty significant. I’m still on the fence of whether OEW is powerful enough to require Limit, as taking a second look at him I’m not sure he’s better than existing cancel crew.

Okay I’m following a bit now, the +5 crew are pretty good, especially for the Pirates who have several ships they could squeeze into 5 points.
If the flipping over is part of the cost would that mean Nemo’s Plans resets it to use again or just allows it to be retained (face up) until another ship or item/event could reset it properly?
IF I am reading the Code right, the Eyepatch would stay face-up on the ship, but could be used again. I may be wrong though. Either way the Plans are a fringe scenario anyway, I don’t think you’re likely to encounter them often in a regular game so the Eyepatch is fine as is.

As written, if used with Nemo’s Plans, it would remain face up but could be reused any time the ship gets shot at because that’s what triggers Parley.
That combo is game-breaking, because effectively makes the ship unshootable. Parley is already very powerful because lasts for the entire turn (not just that shoot action), but this takes away the balancing factor of giving your gold to your opponent.

When this ship reaches her cargo limit, her base move becomes S.Flavor: Crewed by an infamous family of pirates, the Tiger Moth’s captain knows how to balance the titles of Captain and Mother. Her children would argue that they’re the same, but talking back to “Captain Mom” will result in a week’s worth of deck swabbing or kitchen duty.

What stops someone from using Runes of Loki or Potions and Brews to cause a ship to effectively become unshootable similarly if Nemo’s Plans lets you continue using the one-use items face up and ignores the revealing?
What stops someone from using Runes of Loki or Potions and Brews to cause a ship to effectively become unshootable similarly if Nemo’s Plans lets you continue using the one-use items face up and ignores the revealing?
Those are normally revealed voluntarily, without being activated by any specific action, so Nemo’s Plans can only re-trigger them once per turn. They also only apply to a single die/dice roll at a time.
The same doesn’t work with Parley because even if it’s activated only once, the protective effect of it still lasts for the entire rest of the turn. To make that UT work better without breaking things completely, the Parley effect would have to be limited to only that specific shoot action.

Ability: Captain. This ship gets +1 to her boarding rolls against ships with fire masts.
Link: El FénixFlavor: Calm and kind in appearance, Capitan Miranda often incorporates the usage of firebombs in his artillery. He claims that it’s highly effective in scaring away small pirates and even larger, foreign battleships.
I’m unsure of a point cost for the Fenix, right now I’m inclined to go somewhere in the 11-14 range.
The Colina feels expensive for what you get. You have 5 masters from English and America with more cargo hold using the same ability + an Oarsman that still come in cheaper with equivalent or better firepower. 13-14 would be more competitive pricing.
I like the Fenix and Capitan! I think 13/14 is probably pretty safe for points though I’m probably more conservative on points estimates. Since it leans more towards boarding, things can easily go wrong for crew so it’s not a guaranteed ability. Very flavorful pair!
