Atakebune
For my first custom ship type, I decided to go with something rather unique but still historical. These were Japanese warships active during the Age of Sail, with a focus on boarding and hand-to-hand combat rather than gunnery.
The flag towards the bow has the Tokugawa crest on it, while the flags with black and white are based on the…[Read more]

Apologies if I’ve asked this before….

Links

Multiple different crew may be linked to a single ship at once, but each crew can link with only one other crew or ship at a time unless an ability specifically allows additional links to be created.

A lighthouse cannot use its abilities on the same turn that it is built. The effects of Mysterious Islands (including Great…[Read more]
