A keyword that could be used to “replace” Sea Monster. I would have no intention of retroactively applying this to WK ships or to my own exiting customs. Anywho, this was spawned after some discussion between my brothers and I after some minor discussion on Discord. I present the Sea Beast keyword.

Sea Beast

A ship with this keyword printed…[Read more]

Can a submarine ram another submarine while both are submerged? I couldn’t find anything conclusive in the Code.

Is the ability of Tobias Huntington the same as the ability of Rollando (and others). I know there is a difference in text but would the two abilities function more or less the same?

For reference:

Tobias Huntington: Choose a ship within S of this ship. If there are any unique treasures on that ship, that ship’s controller shows them to you. T…[Read more]

Transferring the crew is allowed, but all of the extra effects caused by it will cease as soon as the possessed crew is separated from the possession source.    It will revert back to its original nationality, it will take up cargo space again, and its point cost will apply normally.  (ADDED:  It does not return to its original owner.)

The sam…

I would suggest a re-word to Mortar Shot. SOmething more along this maybe:

When this ship is given a shoot action you may double the range of one of her cannons. If you do you must roll a 5 or 6 to hit with that cannon. Remove Mortar Shot from the game after the shoot action.

This ship gains one 3S cannon that can shoot from any mast. If a 1…

Thanks Woelf, had an idea about getting Explosives on the Skin Flayer. Should be fun to try it out…..

What would happen if you got Explosives onto a switchblade? If it hits more than one ship with it’s blades and rams another ship, which ship can Explosives be applied to? Could it be applied to all of the affected ships, or just to one of them? If just to one of them, which one?

On a similar tangent, would an Eternal ship that used Explosives…[Read more]

Has playing the fleets started yet?

Sadly no, not yet. However I do have everything set-up on VASSAL, I just need some time to run the fleets and record it.

“Infin8Ouroboros said”

To be clear, a “ghostly” ghost ship only ignores terrain while physically in motion, not during the entire move action(and associated free actions), correct?

This has generated some rules discussion on Discord, including whether a Ghostly Ship can shoot from within a terrain (such as an iceberg or Fog) while said ship is…[Read more]

Does towing an enemy derelict count as “capturing” that ship, for the purposes of meeting the requirements of the Ransom keyword?

old_man tells me he has sold his entire Pirates CSG collection with the exception of his custom made Vieil Homme.

That…… is very sad to hear. First Holo, now old_man. 🙁

What other questionable ones are out there that need it, besides the Runes and the Cross?

Has this already been covered with the orange text?

“The Code, Nemo’s Plans”

If a UT applies to, modifies, or is triggered by a specific action or situation (other than exploring the wild island) it may be used once, each time that action or situation occurs.

Does this mean that if Cross of Coronado (or a similar treasure) were on the same ship as the Plans, you could use the Cross every time…[Read more]

Once each time this ship is given an action, you can roll 2d6 any time you would roll a d6. Choose the result you want to use.

Can this ability be applied to extra action, SAT, or other such die-rolling ability? The Code is not clear.

“Code entry for Intermediario”

Placing the treasure is treated as if the target ship loaded it directly from the island. If the target ship does not have at least once cargo space open or some other ability would prevent it from loading the treasure, it cannot be targeted by this ability.

I assume that the “cannot load treasure” part of the…[Read more]

Suppose that Jonah is on the same ship as Papa Doc. Would Jonah’s ability force any possessed crew to take up cargo space, or would the possessed crew not take up cargo space, per the Code entry?

For reference,

Ability of Jonah:
“Always place this crew face up; it cannot be eliminated unless its ship sinks. Crew placed on this ship cost no…[Read more]
