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]

Report 15 is now up! Happy Memorial day!

Is the game supposed to end if the ship is sunk when the UT is still face down?

No, that effect only triggers if the UT is face-up. I’m not sure how to word it so that’s clear.

Now that it only affects the ship carrying it, it would probably be better to define it as “this ship may be given an extra/no actions”, since ship “turns” aren’t…

Re-work for the Vahi:

Load this treasure face-down. You may reveal it at the beginning of one of your turns and roll a d6. On a result of 6 this ship may take it’s turn twice. On a result of 1-3 this ship may not be given any actions this turn, and it’s next turn. Once revealed this treasure cannot be removed from this ship, if this treasure is…[Read more]

Honestly I forgot I worded it like that. There’s an alternate version where it’s limited to affecting only the ship that finds it.

Most likely a powerful UT.

The Vahi: At the beginning of your turn you may roll a d6. On a result of 6, you may take two turns in a row. On a result of 1, your turn ends immediately, and you lose your next turn. This treasure cannot be removed from this ship. If this ship sinks, the game ends.

As long as those Spanish ships have plenty of support, it could be a real pain to deal with.

The Spanish plan to keep lots of support around them. The overall idea is to get the entire fleet (squadron) all in one place with some of the other Spanish capital ships, and/or other ships they have that are Eternal. In other news,

Report 13 is now up!

Report 12 is now up! Crazy stuff is happening!

I just realized you posted Report 10 exactly one year after your first posted the intro thread on PwB.

Hopefully that won’t happen for the 21 game…..

at the end of 11 turns right, not this current round?

Yes….. did it seem like I implied otherwise?

Do any of those “reset” the timer, or is the three turn restriction a hard limit?   Does it refer to the most recent user’s turn only, or all player turns?

Good questions! I think it should be a hard limit. If the Treasure changes ships or somehow changes ownership, it still can’t be used until the initial 3 turns have expired.

What does the

Report 11 is now up!

So which custom ships do you like better? The wooden variety from Cloud of Craft? Or the 3D printed versions offered by Vulkan?

Tough question. I really like what I’ve seen and received from Vulkan, but I also quite like the wooden ships made by cloud of craft. Vulkan’s selection seems limited; cloud of craft doesn’t really have colored-in ships…[Read more]

We’re back……

Century of Economy 2020, Report 10 is now up!

You might have annoyed someone with the automated messages comment. 😀 The second one though….. Huh? I thought they had the rights, or had part of the rights.

A re-work of the Olmak UT

Olmak

Ability: Load this treasure face-down. Give this ship a move action but do not move her. Instead reveal this treasure and dock this ship at any wild island. Turn this treasure face-down, it cannot be used for three turns.

I’m not sure if this is better or worse than the previous version, but this is closer to…[Read more]

Kinda think I might like to use The Olmak though… XD

It’s getting a re-work to function more like the Necklace of the Sky. I’ll post it later. 😀
