@woelf: Perhaps I could give the Mirage an ability similar to that of Dr. Faust from Fiends of the Blood Islands? His ability reads: “Once at the beginning of each of your turns,roll a d6. On a result of 6, instead of giving this ship an action, you may give an enemy ship an action.”
Would this make the Mirage a little less broken?

Sure, that wou…[Read more]

@Woelf: I agree with pretty much all of that and do those types of things in most of my games nowadays.

One way we talked about was having a narrow causeway that you have to pay a toll to secure passage, having a cost for a single ship or a much larger cost as a pass for your entire fleet.

That sounds very similar to something I’ve been thinking…[Read more]

@Woelf: Interesting ideas, I like your modified Ex-Patriot keyword.

Dirt-cheap ships like El Raton, Jolly Mon, etc. would be able to cheat this a little, so maybe a minimum percentage of the point total would be required instead of just having a ship.

That’s one thing I would worry about – calling a nearly-pure Mercenary fleet “half-Pirate” from…[Read more]

@Woelf: Yet another interesting take on modifying BA.  My initial thought is that it might be too powerful, or at least worth the ~5 points it was costed at.

The custom  potential would be though the roof, not only with artwork, but with cannon ranks and whatnot. It’s too bad something like this didn’t exist, would have made my day a lot easier.

I just thought of something with cannon ranks and other similar things – sticker sheets in each pack or box for things that are extremely common.  For examp…[Read more]

I have a question, Does Ruth Lee reduce reduce the cost of Native Canoes?

No, because the Chieftain assumes the cost of all the native canoes.  The canoes themselves aren’t technically assigned individual point costs.  She would decrease the cost of the chieftain crew only, especially because the chieftain is considered crew while the canoes are c…[Read more]

@Woelf: Great points, and thanks for commenting on an idea that I think has serious potential.

My issue with the fixed rates is I’d prefer it to be more realistic.  Capturing and returning a 5 master to your home island should be worth more points than a 1 master.  Not sure I like the idea of points or gold for masts eliminated, since it feels t…[Read more]

@Woelf: Thanks!  As of now I don’t think there’s a way to quote someone’s post with a button – it’s something I plan to look into.  I had a preview feature installed but it got messy and glitchy, so I deleted that and added code to enable the current Visual editor, which works decently as a preview since you can see what your post will look like a…[Read more]
