Is the ‘only use his abilities on a viking ship’ meant to be a negative ability? I could see the Sniping ability as a bit more than 3 points….

Interesting ship, I like the ability, especially since she’s got two very good cannons, and she’s got cargo space for some equipment. I’m not sure how I feel about any ship having an L+L base move though.

On the other hand, De Leon seems a bit of an OP hybrid. That combination of stats and abilities makes me worry a little. I think 15 points would be a better place to start.

I was kind of feeling the same way. I agree her cost should be higher, but I don’t think I’d change much else about her, since I’ve not seen that ability on larger ships.

If not re-worded I feel it could be worth 8-9 gold. If you cap it at one, then its point cost should be fine as-is.

The De Leon would be very good in low point games I think. That’s a lot of cargo and decent speed, plus a couple very good cannons. I’m not sure how I feel about her yet.

The way El Catedral is worded, it should be more than 5 gold. Unless you want to make it like the other forts that have a similar ability, and cap it at just +1 if there is gold…[Read more]

I know I posted the first video report for CG4 somewhere on the site, but I can’t find it, and I don’t want to post it in the wrong place. So…… This seemed like the best spot.

CG4 Report 2

Phillip seems like a sleeper OP crew. You could stack that +1 to die roll onto anything (other than BA) and still get a second bonus from somewhere, such as a +1 to cannons/boarding rolls crew. 4 seems okay for now, though I think playtesting would be in order for him.

Speaking of Barton Smith, he’s actually made an appearance in SS, on the USS Eagan.

I think it would be funny to ask Woelf what he thinks Outbound Flight is worth. (sounds like plane travel btw, not Age of Sail) My initial guess would be about 60.

😀 Go ahead, let’s ask.

On a more serious note, I could knock off the second defensive ability, and leave only her L-range immunity. I actually might do that, since the more I look at…[Read more]

Two more! After these two, only two more in SpMg!

Lord of Skull Spiders
Cursed
Points: 4
Ability: The Skull Spider Unique Treasure does not affect this ship.

Flavor: A strange half man half spider, this fiend is the only being who can command the legions of spiders.

Outbound Flight
Ionic
Points: 40
Masts: 10
Cargo: 7
Cannons:…[Read more]

Oh. I forgot/didn’t know I needed to include that one
I’ll fix that on my Google Doc.

For a bombardier, WK (and I) usually make the flame cannon the first cannon, going from left to right. So if the FV has a flame cannon of 3S, then just add another 3S cannon to the spread. If it’s not a 3S cannon, then amend your Doc to reflect it, and maybe re-…[Read more]

14. Fire Vulture
Points: 12
Masts: 3
Cannons: 3S, 3S, 3S
Cargo: 3
Base Move: L
Ability: Bombardier.

Where’s the bombardier cannon? I only see three.

I feel that Spinax is just too expensive. I don’t think she’s worth 17. Her second ability isn’t worth all that much, so I could see her at 15-16 instead.

I don’t think Krahnzi works. At a minimum I think the rolls should be cut in half (1-3 no effect, 4-6 have effects), it’s a very OP crew. Artaka is cool though.

Yeah….. I was looking at him again as I posted him. I’m thinking that I’ll loose his ability to eliminate masts, and just keep has cancelling ability. OP he may be, but I’ve worded him…[Read more]

To distinguish the flavor text from the rest of the ability text, and to help break up the post a little, could you perhaps put it in italics?

I feel the Musica could be a point or two cheaper, 13 instead of 15 maybe.

Klen might still be too cheap at 30….. 0.0

I’m imagining the Gold Coast in a Jack Sparrow fleet. It seems like wonderful broken fun. 😀 The 3L+L means that the cannon has a L+L range, yes? Just checking to be sure.

The time has come! The first LE piece of the last of SpMg!

Okoto
Ionic
Points: 30
Masts: 10
Cargo: 9
Cannons: 4S-4S-3L-3L-2L-2L-3L-3L-4S-4S
Movement: L
Ability: Junk.…[Read more]

Seems I made a mistake somewhere, as there are only 5 pre-built ships. We’ve seen three of them, now I present the final two!

Tuli
Ionic
Points: 11
Masts: 4
Cargo: 4
Movement: L
Cannons: 3S-4L-4L-3S
Ability: After looking at treasure on a wild island, you may trade any one treasure from that island for a random treasure on any other wild…[Read more]

Hmm. Interesting sub in the Moss Keg. The wording doesn’t specify that the Sargasso can’t be placed such that it touches another ship, so I’m assuming you could use this to place a Sargasso under an enemy, as long as it was still in contact with the Moss Keg.

Actually, looking again, outside of her ability, she doesn’t seem all that impressive.…[Read more]

Another day, two more! I’ll probably take a break from Customs for the next two days. Will resume on the 26th!

Akamu
Ionic
Points: 15
Masts: 4
Cargo: 3
Movement: S+S
Cannons: 3S-3S-3S-3S
Ability: Ghost Ship.

Flavor: The crew of the Akamu draws as little attention to themselves as possible. This has enabled them to slip in and out of ports…[Read more]

I would vote Lordstu as well, for the same reasons you mentioned Ben.

My other vote/nomination would go to Bookwyrm (no longer a MT member I think).  Some of the most comprehensive miniature reviews I’ve ever read, and inspired me to try and write miniature reviews in as detailed a way possible. One of the things I miss most about being banned…[Read more]

-Only automatic unloading at home islands?  (choose at forts)

I’m not sure that this would have a big effect, since gold is not unloaded at forts all that often during games in my experience.

Same here. I thought automatic unloading at home islands was already part of the rules though? It’s why gold factory fleets need to unload one coin at a ti…[Read more]

Sa-Drah seems fine at 9 or 10.

All right, I’ll go with 9 for now. If we ever get to see her in action (CG4 maybe, hopefully :D), I might bump the cost back up to 10.

Dris might work in the 10-12 range, interesting ship.

I’ll take the middle, cost her at 11 for now.

Gormagog would love being “snot sure”.  XD

Dangit. That happens some…[Read more]
