Finally got around to writing my Strategic Elements post that I was looking forward to for a while. 🙂

So I guess the question is… were I to stick to Spanish Main, Crimson Coast and Revolution, would I be missing out on vital improvements and exciting new things in the game? Would I be limiting my game experience?

Vital improvements: Not really.  But it’s good to have the latest Pirate Code for reference as it has provided more fairness than som…[Read more]

Oh I’ve seen all your videos, some of them more than once… I like hearing other people’s takes on certain ships or factions or strategies. I listen to your podcasts while I’m driving.

Thank you, very glad to hear it!

When it comes to the Cursed Faction, I tend to try to push their gimmicks to the absolute maximum.

In that case I applaud your efforts here in that regard, as such a thing is almost impossible to do with “only” 80 points.  XD  Oftentimes when I’ve made Cursed gimmick fleets in the past, the build total quickly balloons to 100+ or 150 points b…[Read more]

I enjoyed the video battle report. There were a few game mechanics and terms I am not familiar with, which just reminds me how early I had to drop out of playing. You clearly put a lot of thought into the fleet where I think I’d just throw together a few ships and crew and see what happens.

Thanks for the feedback and for watching!  Indeed, my mi…[Read more]

Imagine, a genuine 6-7 player game…

Witch actually has a playgroup where they do 10 player games.  O_O  But it requires him to make all sorts of house rules and extra win conditions so the game doesn’t take super long.  XD  I hope to play in that group at some point.

Seeing this I’m now putting some serious thought into a trip north to Bellevue. IF it were to happen, it probably wouldn’t happen until some time next year, possibly after the Summer.

Epic!  If it happens we’ll just make sure to plan it really well in advance.

Thank you to Xerecs for inspiring me to do my first video battle report:

Are the 0LR+5 crew legal for this challenge?

As stated:

Items not on the ban list are available for use (with the exception of the Sleigh and Captain Whitebeard of course).

Punched copies of Specter and Delusion

Q2) Davy Jones (DJC) copies the Fog-Hopping ability and moved into a fog. Since his ability is reset on the next turn, can the ability be recopied and ‘hop’ out of another fog with a move action? Does the ability need to be recopied or is it carried over from the last turn?

Copied abilities generally do not carry over, so he would have to cop…

Ahoy!  Today is a Pirates CSG Stop Lurking Day!  If you haven’t posted yet, todays the day to introduce yourself!  And feel free to include the details of your last Pirates CSG purchase!  😀

@Shamsy: Nice game!  This is the thread where battle reports go.

Standard rules, no terrain and rather than counting out a gold value, I used random value coins. I like that wildcard.

I generally like random value coins as well.
