Heh, you know I’m in. 😀 I’ve already got a couple of ideas circulating.

Absolutely unreal.  I am without speech.  XD  I can’t believe you got within about 500 points of the CTO record, and within 1000 points of CG4’s current total.  O_O

It could have been bigger too. 0_0 The English, Cursed and Pirates were all not at full strength, if those three factions were…… Ho boy.

Ahoy there, welcome aboard!

What size and shape ‘ocean’ mat is ideal for games?

About a 3 by 3 foot space is ideal for a 40 point game. However as you increase the point limit you might also want to increase the play area. 3 by 3 might too small for a 100 to 150 point game. Number of players also factors in. 3 by 3 is ideal for 2 players, but abo…[Read more]

Final numbers:

Total points in play when game was called to an end: 8,524

Total ships still afloat when game was called to an end: 432

Largest fleet by ship count: Americans, 150 ships

Largest fleet by point count: Americans, 2,913

Most gold to their name: Spanish, 3,091

Combined gold of all factions: 11,541

The results make me wonder who would have won the war if it was played out and the Franco-Spanish stuck together.  98+67 would be 165 ships to the American 150, though some more ships likely would have been launched.

I wonder that as well. The French had most of their large gunships already in the water, but still had plenty of ships to launch,…[Read more]

Believe it or not, we have reached the Finale! Report 19 is now up!

Two in one day? 😀 Report 18 is now up! Who will win the war……?

Stay tuned for the Finale tomorrow!

Report 17 is now up! Conflict!

If abilities that have the same trigger but are different, what happens?

For example, lets say that Bonny Peel is on the Fool’s Hope and the ship wins a boarding party. Which ability may be used?

Report 16 is now up! Has conflict finally begun?……

Report 15 is now up!

The Americans are really trying to meet with the Spanish. They want to know what’s up with the castle take-over.

After a Halloween hiatus, we are back! Report 14 is now up!

The Code:

“Named crew have only the abilities printed on their cards.  They do not gain any other abilities based upon their name, title, or flavor text. However, named crew may still be used to trigger other abilities that refer to a specific name or title.”

 

Does this mean that Capitaine Chevalle for example, would satisfy the condition for…[Read more]

“Seafloor Traveler”

…..she cannot ram, be rammed, pin or be pinned, board, be boarded……

-emphasis added-

I think that part of the keyword would prevent any boarding while submerged, even the S board ability.

Also, just updated the keyword slightly to more clearly state that the ship can only be given a move action while submerged.

Question from the Discord.

Can Sea Dragons be used to build a fort? Not as the ship that explores, but as the friendly ship docked at a previously explored island.

“Sea Dragon Keyword”

A sea dragon has a base move of D, meaning that it has unlimited movement. It ignores all terrain, islands, and ships when moving, but cannot end any movement…
