IT IS BEGUN!!! Century of Economy 2020 has officially begun! Report 1 is now up!!

When a ship explores an island, it leaves behind a marker to show that it is explored. Once explored a ship can dock and then load treasure/cargo as a free action.

Suppose two friendly ships are docked at the same island. One of them explores it, but does not load any treasure, just leaving an explore marker. Now that the island is explored, the…[Read more]

I’m quite excited about this,

Me too!

Do they have to complete it once or twice to move on and accept a new quest?  Do factions always get to pick quests?

Factions don’t need to complete a quest twice to move on to the next one, they can pick and choose which quest to take on. Some quests are specific to the ships that accept them/pay for th…[Read more]

I just recalled the Makuta crew from SpMg….. Putting even one of those guys on this would be nuts, especially if you get all the condiditons met. You’d essentially get +4 to cannon rolls, +1 to boarding and general die rolls…. Yikes.

Had an idea for putting a Quest into a game. Would have to be a large game, or a game centered around fulfilling the various quests, such as Sink X number of enemy ships; Bring X to get Y.

Wow, I like both of these, though I probably like the Frenzy the most. From a flavor standpoint, I’m imagining it as an Octopus/Kraken living inside the hull of the ship, like a hermit crab, with the tentacles extending from the ship. Would the ship inside be able to fire its cannons as long as it could draw a line of fire that didn’t cross a…[Read more]

Nice serpent, good speed and more than one or two cargo which is interesting. I’m always fascinated by Sea Monsters with cargo, since it implies they can take treasures in boarding parties and hold them.

Those are some interesting combinations of abilities. The forced re-roll of Agwe Flambeau feels like some combination of the Rune UT’s and the Altar of the Loa UT.

Is Ehlek a loa from real life Voodoo or a custom you made that references the loa?

He just references them, I didn’t look up actual Loa to turn into customs when I made him. He and the other Barraki are based on these guys.

These are some nice looking ones again. Met Agwe could see use in CG4 or THC, I’d probably try and get his…[Read more]

O_O Ho-boy….This is awesome. Might I add:

“Ehlek”

Some say that to be attacked by Ehelek is to be witness to the wrath of the Loa.

as well as:

“Fiends of the Blood Islands”

Loa’s Wrath: Do not load this treasure, instead place it face up on this island. For every ship that comes within S of this island roll a d6. On a 1-4 that ship cannot be…

Things like the mentioned scenario happen fairly frequently in my Summer games, although it’s usually about rights to dock and trade with another faction at a trading port. A few times military help is offered, most recently in 2019 the Americans attempted to recruit the French and English to work together to take on the Spanish (eventual second…[Read more]

Question about specialist crew (fire, stink, etc.). When you decide to use one during a shoot action, would they be able to use any cannon bonuses a ship has to offer? For example, a firepot specialist on the same ship as Bruce Grey. Would the specialist be able to use the +1 to cannon rolls that Grey provides to augment their shot?

I’ve always…[Read more]

@Woelf & @Ben,

I was looking at the no-duplicates list and saw that Crimson Angel was missing. Her spelling doesn’t change from CC up to Rise of the Fiends, and she’s got 4 different versions. I assume she would fall into the same name, same person category. Just a heads up.

CG4 continues! The most action seen yet in the game!

@Xerecs: Neat!  Though we played it on 12/2/2019.

Yeah…. I sat on it for a while, had all the stuff recorded, but I hadn’t been able to put it together yet.

That said, I’m pleased with how it came out, because background music! 😀

Sat on this one for longer than I should have. Game from back in January with Ben:

Sure, I’m down to try it on VASSAL. I’m getting some hardware upgrades in the next couple days and the Virus has forced an interesting situation for me. I’ll shoot you a message, either on FB, Discord or here.
