It doesn’t trigger when a ship is scuttled because of a fire mast, right?

Correct.  You must reveal it immediately after sinking an enemy ship.  For the purposes of the event, the ship doesn’t get credit for the sinking retroactively from the scuttling. (especially because that scuttle can be avoided if the ship can row to safety/etc)

You may rev…

Can’t wait to see her linked crew.

Xioli Cranos was posted a while back, which I why I didn’t post him with the ship. It’s actually kind of a bad link due to a duplicate ability, so some edit may happen.

It’s unlikely I’ll have much time to post customs for the next 2 days, so I’m just getting them out of the way now.

Ocean Sanctuary
Type: S…[Read more]

Also, you can’t mark it explored with a crew like James Cook and dock a ship at it. You have to have made an actual explore action.

I’m not sure why that wouldn’t work.  The Rules/Code says:

• You must have a ship docked at a wild island you have explored in order to build a fort there.

–One of your ships must have explored the island.

Code on S…[Read more]

An update on my custom fantasy set, Pirates of the Epic Seas!

😀  The set has reached 1,000 total game pieces!!  Check out how your favorite factions are doing!  The set may never be “done”, but at this point I’ve exhausted most of the extremely numerous ideas I’ve had for the set, and marks the beginning of what will probably be (for real th…[Read more]

Also @Ben: Did a piece that I made inspire one of yours? (at least name-wise)

I’m not totally sure at this point, but I think I vaguely thought of your fort when I was coming up with mine.

Since then I’ve been using any cardboard, cardstock or flat colored piece of trash.

Interesting!  To make islands, or icebergs?

I agree that custom islands and terrain can be extremely difficult to transport very much, between the size and fragility.  I’ve “traveled” with a separate box of terrain equally as large as the box I use for all the res…[Read more]

I think this place is the best and easiest to find forum for pirates

Awesome, thanks!  Glad to hear that.  Out of curiosity, did you find the site through a Google search? (or other similar engine)

I’m really happy to be ranking 4th in Google right now for “Pirates CSG”, behind only MT, eBay, and Wikipedia.  “Pirates CSG Forum” shows up with my…[Read more]

I just finished reposting my fleets from MT in the Fleets category here!  😀  Before too long I may also post the fleets I posted earlier in this thread.

Well I went ahead and bought Le Loup-Garou anyway.

Funny enough I just posted about LLG since Economy Edition is one of the only games I’ve used her in.  It does look like an amusing fleet, and one I certainly wouldn’t expect.

Fiasco

Speaking of funky, the Fiesta is very odd. Why does she have the ‘crew of any nationality’ if crew can’t use their abilities on he anyway, what would stop you from putting non-Spanish crew on her?

Cuz I’m silly.  XD  I was going purely thematic without thinking about how all the abilities interacted with each other.  However, I think I’ll leave it…[Read more]

Edit: Can someone tell me why my posts end up with their text format visible as code?

The quoting system doesn’t work well right now, possibly because of the Visual vs. Text editors being different.  It’s one of many things I hope to fix in the future.

The best way to still be able to quote someone’s post is to paste as plain text with…[Read more]
