@Woelf: I don’t see her listed in the Code, but I assume Jongleur from MI should have Galley as well?

Thanks for the replies! I’m still figuring out the reply function on here since it seems to hate me so…

@Xerecs

That is correct, but I should have a line in there somewhere that says something to the effect of “you can’t fire on friendly ships normally, just with this ability.” And in addition, you can only use Soul Split on friendly ships,…[Read more]

@Woelf: Glad I’ve been playing it right all this time then! 🙂

If an Eternal ship’s oarsman is cancelled, I assume you can roll to scuttle the ship that turn? If rolled successfully, would the ship be placed at the HI via Eternal even on the turn after when the oarsman became “active” again?

I assume Necklace of the Sky is placed face down when…[Read more]

@Woelf & @Ben,

I was looking at the no-duplicates list and saw that Crimson Angel was missing. Her spelling doesn’t change from CC up to Rise of the Fiends, and she’s got 4 different versions. I assume she would fall into the same name, same person category. Just a heads up.

@Woelf the ability was meant to be like schooner. As I said, I need to do some heavy wording changes, as it’s supposed to be the ship’s mid-point.

Time to respond to 3 months’ worth of posts in this thread!  XD

@JW Darkhurst: Thank you for the feedback!

I like the Garroway and Luke Gray.  Morgenstern sounds like she’s in a pretty messed up situation… maybe the Loa can get involved somehow.  😉

Besides I think the last line of his ability text prevents any kind of use on non-Corsair sh…

@Woelf:

I was thinking, for the Axiom, that I might just change her ability to be a speed boost on that one turn. It’ll just make it easier all around, while still maintaining a similarity to the original draft idea.

I have once again fallen behind on posts; so double today!
Coming at you now are the first French pieces of Eldest Seas

@Woelf: I can see what you mean about Axiom’s ability as breakable. I’ve written up a possible edit for her second ability though

1. Once per turn, if this is at her cargo limit, and you can draw a straight line to her Home Island, you may eliminate one of this ship’s crew. If you do, she gets +S+S to her base move, but can only be given move…

@Woelf: So, I should’ve probably explained what I meant there 😅

So when I said “Upgraded Island”, to me, that means any island where there’s a fort, town, port, or colony (based off Xerecs’s/Ben’s COEC rules). I couldn’t think of any better way to word it 😛

Admittedly, I didn’t think about this ship at the beginning of a game. I play a lot of…[Read more]

@Woelf: Ok; so if I removed the extra text, would the Red Dragon be priced correctly?

I like that idea of accidental friendly fire, and may suggest suggest implementing it into our next summer campaign. Overall, I see your point about the ability wording though.

@woelf: Strictly as a matter of opinion, do you think that ships should be able to tow other friendly ships that are dismasted but have oarsmen?

With the Oarsman keyword as it stands now, it sounds like that would be illegal since the rules say you can only tow derelicts. However, I think having the option of using the oars is more realistic.…

@Woelf: I imagined that in order for the Ryuk to eliminate a crew they must have the exact same ability text. So you can’t just kill a Captain+Helmsman crew using only one of those generic abilities, since that’s only half of the Cap+Helm ability text. You would actually have to sacrifice a Cap+Helm combo to kill a Cap+Helm combo with this ship.…[Read more]

@Woelf: What do you think the “UT Hoard” ability is really worth? (Once per turn, if this ship is touching another ship, reveal all face-down treasure aboard the other ship. This ship can take as much unique treasure from the other ship as she can carry.)

The original WK price of 4 definitely seems too high, but I know you’re a big fan of…[Read more]

It’s once again been a long while since I’ve posted 😅
@Woelf: So, as the Repeating Guns keyword is currently worded, do you believe that it should be reworded so that the extra cannon shots are mandatory, or is it fine as is?

Today I also bring two new English pieces from Eldest Seas! 😄

@Woelf: I love how many good options there are for making it less collectible.

the classic 2 hits for every mast in same shoot action (which I think I saw utilized in one of Ben’s campaign games or something to introduce more realism)

Indeed, both Century of the Empires and Command the Oceans had that rule.

Of course, increasing the number of shi…

It’s been a loooong time since I’ve posted here 😅😅

@Woelf: When I said “Flag Faction”, I was referring to the crew’s faction (the flag on the back of the punch-out). If that needs to be simply stated as the crew’s nationality, I can do that.
And yes, I know that Loyal: X is virtually useless. Honestly, part of the reason I made the Privateer…[Read more]

@Woelf: Do you see any nasty rules issues by making Ransom faction specific, similar to Hostile and Loyal?

For example, “Ransom: Spain” would mean that only the Spanish could get the benefit of the keyword.  This is for thematic reasons of course and to simulate some but not all nations putting a price on someone’s head.

Could even try to apply…[Read more]

@Ben: So you suggest a link similar to the Heart of Stone?
I can Make the Barad-dûr’s cannons more accurate or change/add the World-Hating, but I don’t want to make her a fort. I kinda like the idea that whoever finds the ring will be pursued by two fairly good gunships for a majority of the game. I was honestly tempted to make one if not both of…[Read more]
