Stern turn of Schooner/Longship/etc: “When given a move action, this ship can rotate on her stern (the rear of the ship) in any direction as an additional, final movement segment.”

Because it says “additional”, does that mean a schooner cannot stern turn as its only move segment of a move action?

I would think not, but I suppose it’s largely…[Read more]

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.

How many cargo spaces would a ship gain if it carried all three Knights of Malta at once? (Don Rafael…[Read more]

Over the course of this year I’ve read through almost all the posts in the old Proboards forum when a fan-made set was being discussed back in 2009.

Lots of interesting custom ideas and discussion. Overall I think a more clear direction was needed, along with some financial backing and/or some people that had huge amounts of free time. All to…[Read more]

For ships that can stern turn, I assume that rotation “sweeps” across the playing surface? (and the ship needs a clear path, rather than getting picked up and placed, though the Code mentions the latter under Moving)

Lighthouse

Building lighthouses follows the conditions for building forts. Gold used to build the lighthouse is placed face-up next to the lighthouse and still counts towards a player’s total for victory conditions. A lighthouse cannot use its abilities on the same turn that it is built. The effects of Mysterious Islands (including Great…[Read more]
