I assume that’s more of a deathmatch fleet?

A simple Divine Dragon setup with Fantasma, helmsman, and 3 oarsmen (or 4 since Fantasma links) should do well.  Hellfire is a solid “stock” or “numbers” gunship.  I love the Juggernaut actually, I think she is possibly more underrated than Hellfire.

Given the above, and assuming it has the Cog keyword, I’d say that’s a 9-10 point ship

Agreed.  May seem high at first but cargo is very valuable and the Cog ability is quite good.

This was my initial idea behind the Cog ability, though I’m open to criticism and discussion over whether or not this is a good idea. You suggestion of making it be the cogs action instead only really hinders it by forcing the cog to sit for 1 turn with whatever cargo it gathered, making it fairly vulnerable for a 1 masted ship with no inherent d…

Cog: Once per turn, a friendly ship within S of this ship may explore her as a free action. (I forgot equipment was a thing)

This may work, but the free action coming from outside the ship makes it prone to exploitation.  Example: Is the once per turn for each friendly ship exploring this ship?  Or once per turn that ONE friendly ship can e…[Read more]

Since then, I have then been learning all I can about the game. Thanks for creating this site and the podcasts Ben. I assumed it would be a hunt to find information on the game, but you have provided a wealth of it. Amazing job!

Welcome aboard!  And thank you!  😀

Sorry of the long post.

Don’t be.

These are interesting ideas.  I think the word you’re looking for is “lateen” sail.  Unless lanteen is an alternate spelling I’m not aware of.

The only improvements I would suggest are to the wording of the abilities.  It’s best to be as concise and clear as possible, while sticking to what Wizkids wrote so pe…[Read more]

and last but not least @Ben, have you ever tried putting the shell on the Titan Crabs the other way?

I’ve done it both ways at this point.  I think I like it better the “wrong” way at this point because it makes more sense to me.  I also seem to remember it not working as well from a constructible standpoint but I can’t remember which way.

Hopefully this map will help!  This is something that has been discussed in the community various times over the years, and I just recently stumbled into making one.

Feel free to add your location with your username (real name if you want, probably shouldn’t be an exact address of course).  I think you should also be able to add a description w…[Read more]

Once per turn when this ship hits an enemy ship, also eliminate one crew from that ship.

The ability shown above is  3 Points

But it’s not.  It’s 2 points.

1: Is there a comprehensive (or moderately so) guide to the creation of custom ships/crew/etc. point wise?

No.  The first tab of the Customs Database has a bit of what I often price certain abilities at.

2: Is the custom thread a good place to post new ship type ides for review by experienced players?

Definitely.  The best place!  😀

 I’d love this one to be more active

Same here!

… though it’s hard to provide feedback when the information given out is incorrect.  Check the cannons.  I like both ships a lot but I like the Soleil Royal better.
