“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]

I feel you, happens to me almost every year during the summer game. “What ship is that over there again? Looks like this one. Could also be this one.” Turns out to be neither of those ships. 😀
It certainly is a unique ability, and one that could make Sea Monster fleets more “viable”, especially if more than one set of canoes are involved,…[Read more]

Small correction, game one I didn’t have the Slipstream (I wish I did :D), I had the Devil Ray, I just forgot to bring the deckplate with me.
The co-op game was real fun, especially when I pulled off the Native Canoe repairing and healed both the Barnacle and Intermediaro. I’d love to give co-op another go, either with 3 teams of 2, or 2 teams of 3. 0.0

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,

I made a fleet building error and forgot to include Calico Cat on La Victoire. I don’t think it would have mattered too much though. My attempt to win with gold-capture failed spectacularly. 😀
I did however manage to pull off a gold-capture win the next weekend I think, capturing a Zeus’s worth of crew to seal the deal.
Rambling aside, this…[Read more]

Suppose you decide to cancel a friendly Submarine to the surface. At the end of your turn what happens to the submarine? Does it return to a submerged status or does it remain on the surface?

Deadline is tomorrow night, when the 1st becomes the 2nd, so you’ve still got some time.

If I choose to use the ability of the English Native canoes (below), would I have to apply it to all of them in the set, or however many I chose, since all of the canoes are technically being given a move action.
Give this ship a move action but do not move her. Instead, roll a d6. On a result of 5 or 6, you may repair one mast on ships within S…

I don’t want to reveal the whole ability yet, but you’re close with that first guess. I’ll probably redo bits of the main ability before the reveal. However, this might be some time from now, as the UT involved is part of the SR set for my next set.

You’ll need to edit that fleet Ben, Castro is part of the Dread Fleet and cannot be used.
You may not use an alternate version of any crew or ship that has been “ensnared” by Davy Jones, and you may not use any of the ensnared ships or crew.
Looks interesting though, taking advantage of the number of cancelers available to you.

That would depend entirely on what else the UT did.
Something that stayed face-up on an island once revealed.

It’s one treasure per ship per turn, so if you have multiple ships nearby, you could use it once for each. They do not all have to occur at the same time.
Thanks, I have an idea for a fleet involving Intermediaro and ships that can submerge. 😀
I think it could be pretty neat to have some MI effects that would only function while a fort was pr…

I’m not sure what the question is. Did some additional text get cropped out of your post by accident?
I wanted to know how often Intermediario could use his ability, if it was a once per turn, once per your turn, etc.

Apologies for another one, but I’d like some clarification. The Isle of Fire island from Savage Shores is a Mysterious Island, or is treated as one. Ergo if a fort was built on one the effects of the island (below) would not function in accordance to the code ruling? I ask because the code doesn’t mention them and I’d rather not assume.
Isle of…

Since the ability does not specify and the Code doesn’t seem to either, what would the timing be on Intermediaro?
If this sea creature is within S of both a wild island and a friendly ship, she can place one treasure from that wild island on that ship as a free action.
“This ability may be used if this sea monster and/or the target ship is…

Would a Unique Treasure ability that prevented that treasure from being removed from the game be too powerful?
I’m trying to think of a way for a face-up UT to not be removed by other Treasure’s such as Pirata Codex and Kharmic Idol.

If Davy Jones copied the ability of Namazu:
Give this sea monster a shoot action. A wave S wide and 2L long leaves the sea monster in one direction. Up to 2 masts of every ship in the path of the wave are eliminated. Eliminate one of this sea monster’s masts.
Would the ship he’s on be able to use the ability? Or would the text refering to a “Sea…[Read more]
