Hmmmmm. Bit of a tough one for me. Some point costs are absolutely silly, especially among the Cursed, Americans, and Vikings. That said, I do enjoy the “power pieces” that are low cost like Banshee’s Cry. 😀

I do believe that fixing, or clarifying rulings would be slightly more important, especially where Creatures are concerned.

Do people think…

We are back! Report 5 is now up!

Abilities that steal or trade treasure by touching another ship, can those abilities be used by submerged submarines?

For example, Nikos Cheilos on his linked Fathom Submarine. Would he be able to take treasures from a ship while the Fathom is submerged?

How many ships can you board with the S-Board ability on the same turn? Can you even use that ability to board more than one ship in a move action?

Also, the Brave Selkirk. Can it use it’s ability while submerged?

Due to some personal stuff, CoEC will likely not update again until next Saturday, the 24th.

Report 4 is now up! What could the Cursed have found!?

Report 3 is now up! What else is hidden out there?

Can’t wait to see this game in person in a few days!

Hopefully I’ll get another two reports up before then!

Report 2, is now up! What could the Americans have found?

Hyped that the game has begun!

Me too! Report 1 only covers about half of the first DAY of action! 0.0 Stuff’s been happening almost every day since then!

The Adventure begins!! Report 1 is now up!

The Rats UT says it cannot be unloaded from a ship. Does this mean that it cannot be transferred to another ship?

Is that only possible/relevant at Voya Nui?

No, the Lagoon Island is the primary island where that rule will be relevant.

Is it ever confusing switching back and forth between CoEC and CG4 due to the rules differences?

You hit it right on the head, digital v. physical keeps them separate enough. However, I’d like to one day have a game as massive…[Read more]

I think this has been asked/discussed before but…..

What happens when you put the Power Cannons UT on a ship like El Neptuno? The code seemed to indicate that the Neptuno could shoot at targets 4L away, since the cannons would have a range of L+L that was then doubled to 4L.

An additional layer, what happens when you get Extended Range on that…[Read more]

Almost forgot, I mentioned in the report that the Spanish Fleet was rather weird at the end. After talking to gingerbread who first noticed this, about 90-95 of the ships the Spanish controlled were hired. Mercenary, Jade Rebellion, Viking, and Corsairs.

Nice, hopefully I’ll see them in action before too long.

Me too. I’m crossing my fingers t…[Read more]

Who controlled each of the 6 factions?  Would be great to know for updating our all time data spreadsheet.

I controlled the Spanish and the Cursed. I admit that their Sea Monster/Creature launch was a massive tactical error; the pirate controller even said that if they had launched spar and sail gunships the Pirates would have backed off.
