Beware of eBay listings that appear to sell 24 packs of MI, but you only receive 1 pack.

When I get done with this set could someone help me with point values?

Post it in the Custom Ships thread and you should be able to get some feedback.

@Ben, I sent you a picture of one of my Custom Sets in progress. If you may take a look at it yourself I would appreciate advice.

I hope to have time for it soon.

I prefer Google sheets, especially since it can be shared without viewers needing to download anything.

is there a good point formula I can use for balance?

Some things like that have been created by some folks this year but I prefer to go based on feel, though that’s a lot easier with a lot of playing experience.

You have self created ships?

Yeah it’s fun!  I think I’ve made at least 1600 total custom game pieces between Epic Seas and Age of Sail. (my two sets)

How could I check?

The American canoes are from Savage Shores, which you can find in the Master Spreadsheet.

Great picture with the sandbars, do I see a switchblade of the Cursed?

Oh yes, the Skin Flayer was fun to use in that game! (battle report linked above)

does anyone here know what ship  has the ability “I Can Haz Treasure?”

Do you have the full ability text?  Sounds like Hoard to me.

At least fog banks and trade currents are super useful, so terrain isn’t a completely ineffective concept.

My favorite are actually whirlpools… as some people know.  😉

Do you know where the black market of ships is?

What I’m meaning is do you know where people are getting things like; the Scavenger Packs, the Plunder Packs, the sealed Booster Boxes, or the SCS Packs?

From what I’ve seen the past year or so, people are just overpaying (in my opinion, though I was lucky enough to collect in a buyer’s market ~…[Read more]
