Questions About Game Rules & The Pirate Code

Thanks Woelf!

I have a question about forts. When you’re shooting at a fort, do you have to aim for the fort itself, or would hitting the island it is built on be enough to target it?

You can target any part of the fort or its baseplate. Exposed parts of the island underneath don’t count, but also won’t block lines of fire.

Suppose I station a Marine or two on my home island. Can they be targeted by an enemy ship’s shoot action?

Can a home island raider load enemy crew or equipment from an enemy home island using the free transfer (while docked) rule? It seems so based purely on reading, but I assume the intent is no. Thought I had asked in the past but can’t find through forum search.

This ship may dock at an enemy home island and load one treasure. If able, she must leave on your next turn.

As a free action, a ship docked at (touching) an island or a fort can drop off and board crew or equipment, or transfer crew or equipment to and from another ship docked at the same island. You can’t dock at an opponent’s home island or at an enemy fort.

When an ability and a rule conflict the ability always takes precedence regardless of the terms used, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Yes. The keyword text about shooting at them is non-specific about the type of island.

I can’t find it either, but am pretty sure the ruling was that the ability allowed the ship to take only the amount of treasure specified, and nothing else.

Also, somehow there’s no entry in the Pirate Code for that ability! No idea when I’ll get the chance to actually finish the next update, but whenever that does happen I’ll make sure something about it is included.

Does the cannon given by the Musketeer crew inherit abilities such as : “Once per turn when this ship hits an enemy ship, also eliminate a crew from that ship“, “When this ship hits an enemy ship, you may also eliminate one cargo from that ship“, “This ship eliminate two masts with one hit” ?
