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.

Report 25, the finale of Century of Economy 2020 is now up!

Game-play wise Seleucis

Looks….. Maybe Calypsos.

Report 24 is now up! See you in the Finale……

How the hell did Spain get their 1000 gold coin from the Branwen??!

I’m pretty sure it was part of the armistice talks, even though I don’t mention it in the report. The Spanish were willing to accept a peace or a truce if their gold was returned, but would have kept fighting if it wasn’t. The Pirates were weary of the conflict at this point,…[Read more]

Report 23 is now up!

Report 22 is now up!

Have you considered having fire stuff only work with the 2 hits/mast rule?  Like we’re doing in CG4, where fire stuff doesn’t bypass that rule like it normally does.

Yes I have considered it. However I don’t think one of my brothers would get on board with it, the other one I’m not so sure.

They actually aren’t too upset with the fire stuff, they…[Read more]

Report 21 is now up!

That Baochuan town capture was epic to me, nice appearance all of a sudden and coup by the Pirates.

It was epic, and it was a complete oversight by the Spanish. They forgot that the Baochuan was in the area and didn’t figure that the pirates would try and take back the triangle island.

keep it up Guys, it’s great

Thanks, glad you’re enjoying it!

Report 20 is now up!

I agree that the Corodums wording could be simplified to match the language that WK used.

When loaded, Move to the ship in your fleet with the most crew.

To avoid any possible confusion I think you should specify that the treasure moves. This is just vague enough that it could be interpreted differently. Is a crew moving? Is the ship? Is the…[Read more]

Report 19 is now up! Pirates v. Spanish!

where there are far more customs in play than Wizkids ships, and nobody watching will have any idea what’s going on because they haven’t heard of any ships mentioned in a battle report.  XD  I like the 4 master with the Frontier masts, neat look.

I suspect that’ll happen to me as well. For now I limit custom stuff to only ships and crew we’ve…[Read more]

Report 17 is now here!

Report 16 is now up! War has begun……

Is the rolling for actions effect meant to be every turn, or just once the first time it’s revealed?

Once, the first time it’s revealed.

I get that turns v. actions makes it more complex, but I’m envisioning a ship being able to use “Once per turn” crew/abilities twice.

For example, the Vahi is on the same ship as Calico Cat (SM). The Vahi is r…[Read more]

I’m interested in that Acorazado setup with Blanco.

I don’t think it’s mentioned in detail, but the Spanish have two cargo masters in play, giving the Acorazado 7 total. Blanco reduces the cost of all crew aboard after himself and costs 2 points. The Spanish then added Empress Kida (FoBI, 7 point merc Capt.+WH), Castro, Vega, Diaz, helmsman, c…[Read more]
