Two more!
Nuri
Points: 15
Ionic
Masts: 1
Cannons: 4S
Cargo: 3
Movement: S+L
Ability: Once per turn roll a d6. On a 5-6 this ship gets +L+L to its base move.Flavor: Built for speed with a light frame and timber, the Nuri moves so quickly across the water that she almost appears to teleport from place to place. Her speed however comes at the cost of reduced to no firepower.
Sulak
Points: 10
Ionic
Masts: 1
Cargo: 3
Cannon: 3S
Movement: S+S
Ability: Sea Creatures within S of this ship get +1 to their cannon rolls.Flavor: The crew of the Sulak has an uncanny and borderline unnatural affinity for sea life. Be it common fish or the great leviathans of the deep, the crew calls all sea life friend, and in return that sea life will often protect the ship and crew form harm.
Swift Stabbing
Faction Affiliation: Cursed
Rarity: U
Type: Ship
Point Value: 15
Number of Masts: 4
Cargo Space: 3
Base Move: S+L
Cannons: 2L-4S-4L-5L
Ability: Schooner. On the turn this ship is pinned, eliminate one crew and one mast from the rammed ship.Flavor text: Every Cursed crew on this ship is equipped with at least one sword. They’ve even sharpened and strengthened the ship’s bowsprit to better tear enemy rigging and sails upon impact with other ships. Relying on speed rather than firepower, the ship performs adequately against most opponents, but has lost minor engagements to well-trained European gun crews.

Rapidly approaching the end of the Ionics, two more for today!
Bomo
Points: 11
Ionic
Masts: 1
Cargo: 4
Cannon: 3L
Movement: S+S
Ability: Once per turn roll a d6. On a 5-6 this ships masts cannot be rammed off and require two hits in the same shoot action to eliminate its mast.Flavor: The crew of the Bomo take extreme measures to ensure that their tiny ship is not easily dispatched in battle, such as additional support timbers and armor plating for the hull. However they often re-purpose those materials to keep the ship seaworthy.
G’ki
Points: 5
Ionic
Masts: 1
Cargo: 4
Cannon: 4L
Movement: L+S
Ability: none.I wouldn’t mind if the Bomo’s abilities were simply automatic if the cargo went to 3 or the cost to 12. The text doesn’t specify on which turn the effects apply, so it’s a bit confusing – not to mention the annoyance of yet another roll for the ship every single turn that opponents then have to remember for their own turns when attacking it.
I know the second one isn’t really better than the Bon Marin or Intrepide, but it’s just a simple OP gold runner to me. No changes need to be made, it’s just really basic and not really what customs are about IMO. (flavor text could help though)Grand Plunder
Faction Affiliation: Jade Rebellion
Rarity: R
Type: Ship
Point Value: 18
Number of Masts: 6
Cargo Space: 6
Base Move: L
Cannons: 3S-4L-4L-4L-4L-3S
Ability: Junk. This ship may dock at an enemy home island and take as much treasure as she can carry. If able, she must leave on your next turn.Flavor text: Built and named for pillaging, the Jades made sure to construct a monstrosity for nearly every seafaring purpose. Despite the complete lack of deception, the crew of this vessel uses the Grand Plunder’s sheer size to get away with massive heists.

4 points
Ability: Explorer. If this ship begins a move action within S of land, she gets +S to her base move.Originally I had his second ability at just one point (worse than a Helmsman), but between speed being the most important attribute in this game and how versatile it could be, I bumped it all the way to 3. It would be a nice boost whenever you left your home island or a wild island, similar to those +S after loading/unloading cargo abilities. Plus, two abilities into one cargo space is great for a gold runner especially. This ability plus a helmsman on some gold runners could be really good I think.

I’ll hopefully post the next group tomorrow afternoon.
See y’all then-J. W. Darkhurst
Star Chaser is too good. It needs to loose either Battleship or EA. If you want to keep both then the speed needs to be reduced to a single segment. S feels extreme, but L would be fine I think. Obsidian reminds me of the Roanoke, cannon ranks and ranges are exactly the same, only this is two points more expensive.
The Star Chaser is based on that ship from Steven Universe that Lars stole, the Sun Incinerator. It’s supposed to be really fast and well-armed.
The Star Chaser is pretty small and her cannons aren’t that good. A couple extra points, maybe?
As for the Obsidian, I can change the ranks, make them all the same.
(Also as a heads up, I might post again; YouTube is down, so my teenage brain is like: ?? *bored*)
-Darkhurst
Eh…. I guess you could make the the Chaser more expensive. I’m not a fan of doing that, but if you REALLY don’t want to loose either keyword/ability….

Ionic
Points: 13
Masts: 1
Cargo: 2
Cannon: 4S

Ability: Native Canoe. Captain.Flavor: Many seaside villages on the Ionic homeland have small fishing fleets to sustain themselves. Contact with the imperial world has forced these villagers to become self-reliant and convert their fishing boats for self-defense, after all the navy cannot be everywhere at once.
Tura
Points: 13

What makes them OP? Their speed, cargo, ability, or a combination of all three?
Two new crew!
Amakav
Points: 6
Ionic
Ability: Captain. Re-roll.Flavor: Despite his protests, Amakav was placed in command of the Ionic navy and oversees fleet operations. He is constantly worrying about making mistakes and feels he is not fit for the role he has been given.
Iju
Points: 6
Ionic
Ability: At the beginning of each of your turns roll a d6. On a 4-6, instead of giving this ship an action, choose two icebergs from outside the game. Put one L away from this ship and one L away from a wild island. Neither can be placed so that it touches any island or ship. This ship is immune to icebergs.Flavor: One of the foremost Antarctic explorers, Iju seems to have brought the ice back with him. The air grows cold wherever he goes and icebergs and floes are often seen around his ship, even when it is not in the Antarctic.
@Xerecs: All three IMO. The cargo is extremely important with canoes; one set of those could be a gold running powerhouse even without factoring the auto Captain into play. 10 cargo spaces for 13 points with plenty of speed and the possibility of five 4S shots in addition to that – very impressive. The Star Chaser is less OP than most other Battleships I’ve seen from y’all, and very fragile for the points.
Iju seems really cool! Last part of his flavor should probably say “not in the Arctic”, assuming you mean the Arctic Ocean/area.

I can give the canoes one cargo, would that make them less OP? Or would leaving them as-is just be par for the course, considering the existing canoes?
Well, he’s supposed to be an ANTacrtic explorer, would you still call the ocean in that area the Arctic ocean?
I can give the canoes one cargo, would that make them less OP? Or would leaving them as-is just be par for the course, considering the existing canoes?
Yes, but they’re not better than the American canoes, so no changes are completely necessary. I just feel like canoes with more than 1 cargo are just OP by default (unless the Chieftain had a ridiculously limiting cost like 20+).
Well, he’s supposed to be an ANTacrtic explorer, would you still call the ocean in that area the Arctic ocean?
My bad, I was just thinking all north.
The Tura crew is supposed to be the Chieftain associated with the Matoran Canoes. I think I’ll just up their point cost to around 15-17. I don’t want to make them too expensive, but you do make good points about their potential.
Two more crew! Possibly one of the more OP things I’ve made recently. 😀
Anewo
Points: 10
Ionic
Ability: Once per turn roll a d6. On a 5-6 move an enemy ship L in any direction.Flavor: Anewo is a man of substance. If he cannot see it or touch it, it is not real. Despite this he has an almost unnatural ability to get people to do what he wants.
Wanhu
Points: 10
Ionic
Ability: Give this ship a move action but do not move her. Instead roll a d6. On a result of 6 choose an island from outside the game, place it S away from this ship. The island cannot be placed such that it touches another ship. This ability cannot be used on consecutive turns.Flavor: Wanhu is no soldier, sailor or admiral. He is self-proclaimed map-maker and topographer, who has found several uncharted islands. His knack for finding uncharted land has led many to believe that he can make islands appear out of the sea.
Bit of a double post, but I came across this in my doc and spreadsheet.

The Matoran Canoes remind me of a problem that is difficult to avoid when making customs – making the same kinds of mistakes that Wizkids made, since they did it first and made it official. As in, using the Banshee’s Cry’s ability to severely lower point costs, or comparing customs to all the BEST ships in the game rather than average ones. For example, someone may bring up that a ship isn’t really better than the San Cristobal, or HMS Titan for example. But when those originals are so OP in the first place, it just further makes “regular” stuff and more reasonable/better priced customs more obsolete. The American native canoes could have had 1 cargo each and still been 10 points, and they’d still be one of the best sets out there. Then it would be more of a debate with the Spanish canoes, rather than one of the most OP game pieces out there. I think this topic is worth a blog post sometime – perhaps it’s the onus of us as custom creators to not repeat Wizkids’ mistakes. 🙂
Anewo should have Black Mark haha. 😉 Would be interesting to see if he is deemed OP in any CG usage.
Wanhu is fascinating – there’s an example of flavor text really helping with a custom crew. The flavor explanation makes me less eager to have the ability completely changed – perhaps it can work somehow. At 10 points and only working on a 6, it’s already very limited. I think it could work just fine, but with a few caveats in campaign games. Perhaps in those games he’d be banned, or the islands could NEVER produce resources/gold/etc. Even letting forts on a bunch of “new” islands could get tricky, especially if they were used as launch points right near an enemy home island. Lots to consider there, and obvious breakability will be present whenever an ability allows you to bring stuff in from outside the game.I have a few issues with K’Tung:
1. I do not like the idea of having to roll every time the ship is hit. That would require two rolls per cannon on hits, and by different players presumably. Catamarans are annoying enough in my opinion, and this has the potential to eclipse that, especially if rerolls are involved.
2. Copying to a 10 master/etc. #1 is a bigger issue for me, but the cost and cannon inaccuracies become irrelevant if this got on the Guichuan/etc. Then it’s even more annoying because you’d have to roll twice as much for opponents attacking. The ship strikes me as something to simply avoid and let it take up build total for arguably minimal effectiveness, but oftentimes you cannot just avoid the presence of a 10 master in a game.I think a radical solution could potentially solve both problems, but it’s probably not very exciting from a flavor perspective (I would assume). “Once per turn when this ship is hit, instead eliminate a mast from the attacking ship.” Make it automatic but only once per turn, and give the defender the ability to choose which “hit” gets “deflected”. For all I know this could be even more problematic than the first ability, but it avoids a lot of extra dice rolling, partly solves the copying problem, and could make for some interesting strategy. (not dissimilar to how cancellers are used as “chess pieces” on a battlefield – in this case should you cancel the extended range fire shot from El Neptuno or the Kian Ng-aided 2S shot from the Grand Path?) On top of all that, with this ability I think the ship could be drastically less expensive, perhaps to the tune of 19-20 points. (as the ability is arguably worse than El Acorazado’s, I think…)
It’s like a Mirror Force effect if you ever saw Yugioh. XD (and that card got banned for good reason haha)

For now I’ve upped the cost of the canoes to 17, but kept all of their other stats intact, such as their movement, cargo, etc. I think it would make a good blog post, or perhaps a podcast topic?
Anewo could have black mark, but the source (onewa, toa of stone, metru-nui) had a mind controlling ability. I didn’t want to make him a standard mind controller crew, like the DJC version of LeBeaux, and I didn’t want to make him the last part of All-Powerful. Testing might be necessary for him.
In my head Wanhu’s islands are completely blank, no gold or resource potential on them when they are created. Certain UT’s and Mysterious islands can fling treasure to other islands, that’d be the ONLY way that gold winds up on the islands he makes, other than building and demolishing a fort. Now that I’ve mentioned them, I’m wondering if I need to include a line somewhere that says ‘non-mysterious island’ so that people can’t use him to bring one into play. I think he DEFINITELY needs some testing, regular games and campaigns.
K’Tung’s source (Keetongu, titan, visorak era) gives him multiple abilities, chiefly among them a ‘cure’ for a venom. That aspect of him was harped upon A LOT, so I decided to go with a less focused on aspect of him. I could go back the other way and give him/it some kind of super shipwright ability, but I do like the alternative you suggested. Going that route, I’d probably make the cannon ranks better, which could keep it in the low 20 point range.
Part of the reason I made the ability involve die rolling is that I thought that might be too powerful, mainly because I was thinking that it would automatically hit the attacking ship every time it got hit, and not once per turn. For example, HMS London pulls broadside and fires off 4 shots and hits every time. For every shot that hits, one mast is eliminated from the London.
I just thought of some kind of mesh of abilities actually. K’Tung’s ability becomes automatic, and the hit backs are IN ADDITION. That is every time an enemy ship hits K’Tung, it loses a mast, but the attacking ship also loses a mast for every hit.
Hmmm. That actually might be worse. I’ll probably adopt your solution or think of a super shipwright idea.Yup, podcast topic makes sense too.
I do think Wanhu’s ability text could receive some lengthy additions to keep it from being OP.
A cure for venom sounds like the perfect background for Crew Protect (or Doctor but that hasn’t appeared on a ship).
If it’s automatic it really shouldn’t be on every hit. Players shouldn’t be penalized for getting the first shot and hitting with their cannons. If you go with my idea or a very moderate version of the “backlash” ability, I could even see Crew Protect or a repair ability as well; from Epic Seas obviously I like having ships with multiple abilities, but then the cost might go back up into that 28 range… XDTwo more crew!
Atuam
Points: 4
Ionic
Ability: Explorer. SAT.Flavor: Atuam lives fast, like a bullet from a gun. Easily excitable and always restless he is often the first off the ship when land is made, and lives for the chance to explore new and unknown lands.
Kano
Points: 8
Ionic
Ability: This ship does not roll for effect when she uses a whirlpool. Trade currents give this ship +L to its move instead.Flavor: Kano has studied the ocean more than anyone. Her knowledge of currents and tides is unmatched, and she applies her knowledge to give her ship an edge in battle.
Explorer + SAT strikes me as a combo that probably shouldn’t show up together on a crew. Kano is quite interesting.
Ruins of Baboteca
Faction Affiliation: Spanish
Rarity: C
Type: Fort
Gold Cost: 4
Cannons: 2S-2S-3L-3L
Ability: Spanish ships docked at this island or within S of this island get +1 to their d6 rolls. When this fort is hit, eliminate two flags instead of one.Flavor text: Historically important, the Ruins of Baboteca were found weakened but intact. The fort is serviceable, but usually the Spanish force defending it puts up a heavier resistance than the fort itself. The crumbling walls give way easily to moderate bombardment.

Why is Jasper Greene so expensive? I don’t think that version of the copy ability is worth that much, since the only things you’ll be copying are by and large generic abilities like musketeer, firepot specialist or helmsman.
Also, why is Theoden 7 points? Those abilities have been seen together at 6 points on crew like Jonathan Haraden, Lord Thomas Gunn, etc.
Explorer + SAT strikes me as a combo that probably shouldn’t show up together on a crew. Kano is quite interesting.
Well….. I already made an explorer + EA crew and a helmsman + SAT crew……

On a 4-6 that ship cannot be given move actions on their next turn.Flavor: Mentored by Kopaka and Iju, Ortam has a commanding presence, both on a battlefield and off. Like his mentors, he seems to bring ice with him wherever he goes, and his tactics and strategies often leave enemies frozen in place.
Why is Jasper Greene so expensive? I don’t think that version of the copy ability is worth that much, since the only things you’ll be copying are by and large generic abilities like musketeer, firepot specialist or helmsman.
I think Greene is fascinating, and probably worth the points. I think he’ll be copying stuff like SAT and Parley, and being able to switch each turn makes him worth the points in my opinion.
Give this ship a move action, but do not move her. Roll a d6; on a 4-6 fully repair every friendly ship within S of this ship.
As with many other abilities, I think this needs a cap. You could have 10 masters with 1 mast each on either side and then repair them fully and save 18 total turns of repair work, which breaks the game and exploits 10 masters even more. An extreme example, but quite possible. I think repairing one mast on all friendly ships within L would be cooler and less OP.

Ability: Blockade Runner. This ship gets +1 to cannon and boarding rolls for every crew on her.One more group from America, and we’ll be done with them from Seas of Doom.
After the next American post, I’ll make a post about all of the edited pieces so far.As always, feedback is welcome 🙂
I’ll try to post tomorrow afternoon, or maybe later today if I have the time.Also (this is mostly for Ben) as of yet, I have no real flavor text for the seas of doom pieces, but once I get enough, I will begin re-posting the pieces with the text attached.
See y’all next time

I know the inspiration for the 12th legion, but the name might be better if you just called it ‘legion’. I’d still know what it’s referencing and whatnot.
Name aside, that’s a powerful ship. 6 cargo and plenty of point room for some of the more expensive named American crew. This would definitely be a dreadnought in larger games as well as campaigns.Also (this is mostly for Ben) as of yet, I have no real flavor text for the seas of doom pieces, but once I get enough, I will begin re-posting the pieces with the text attached.
I think it would be much better to simply reveal the flavor text with the eventual spreadsheet than repost them all.
Skoric
Faction Affiliation: Viking
Rarity: C
Type: Crew
Point Value: 6
Ability: Helmsman. S-Board. [As part of a move action, this ship can initiate a boarding party against a ship up to S away from her, without having to ram. The boarded ship can’t use any boarding bonuses.]Flavor text: This brave young navigator sometimes takes it too far. Though he is primarily in charge of keeping the ship on course with all speed, Skoric is often the first man to touch an enemy ship when in combat.
