Could the ability of the Maui’s Fishhook be used on a submerged target, be it a Submarine or Sea Monster?

Ability for reference:

Once per turn as part of a move action, this ship can randomly take one treasure from any ship up to S away from her.

That is an awesome fort!  Love the flavor text too.  I’d love to use it… maybe it will appear in CG4….

Thanks! Just bear in mind that the ability will affect a friendly ship too.

After observing some recent new UPS fleets, I decided to try and revisit an “old” idea of mine, getting a +4 bonus on a gold coin. This lead to an afternoon of head-scratching and bemoaning as I tried to make the combo work at a 40 point limit. I met with some success, but feel as though the fleets could still be optimized further. I’ll share the…[Read more]

Are the effects of Mysterious Islands considered public knowledge to other players, or is the contributing player the only one who knows what the islands do until they’re revealed?

Also, the Code states:

Mysterious Island effects cannot be re-rolled

What’s the intended timing on this ability?   Do you have to eliminate the mast before rolling anything, or can you choose to eliminate one after you’ve fired some/all of them?
