Okay then! modifications coming for the Treachery. I’ll probably re-word the ability to work multiple times in a game. For multi-player scenarios, I think just going right to left (counter-clockwise) would be fine.

I can modify the DG to bring down her point cost, but I think I’ll keep the rest of her as-is. I don’t want to make a ‘too perfect’…[Read more]

Wow, missed three days, so mega post incoming! We’re essentially viewing the rest of the ships the Pirates receive in Sphereus Magna, and I’m fairly certain some of them will generate some discussion. 😀

Shadow Stalker
Pirate
Points: 16
Masts: 3
Cargo: 3
Cannons: 4S-4S-4S
Movement: L
Ability: Dark Hunter. If this ship is in a fog bank, she may be…[Read more]

Two missed days means double, so the first 4 pirate pieces!

Dark Hunter— Denotes as part of the Dark Hunter sub faction. Hostile: Ionic. This ship gets +2 to boarding rolls.

Shouldn’t his name be Drazon or Hydraxon then?

Oops, mis-typed. The crew’s name is Draxon, the character he’s based on is Hydraxon. Reason I didn’t call him that is because I don’t want the Lego group coming after me for copyright infringement. Some of the characters I’ve kept their names the same as their source inspiration, and others I’ve s…[Read more]

What? I released Draxon a while ago! He’s one of the big Mercenary crew of Epic Seas! XD

Case of same name, different person it seems. My Drazon is derived from this Hydraxon–>

Big news! The last Ionic crew! These three are the last named crew the Ionics receive, until the SE/LE section of the s…[Read more]

Interesting flavor text on the Frenchwoman, will we see her father at some future date?

Two more!

Guardian— This piece is linked to all other pieces with this keyword.

Helyrex
Points: 3
Ionic
Ability: Guardian. Re-roll.

Flavor: Helyrex is commander of the Guardians, a multi-national society, which seeks to better the world from the shadows.…[Read more]

Two more! Relevant keyword: Guardian— This piece is linked to all other pieces with this keyword.

Tut
Points: 5
Ionic
Ability: Ghost Ship. Black Mark.

Flavor: Tut was recruited from the back alleys and slums of the Ionic capital, to carry out missions too ‘sensitive’ or ‘uncivilized’ for the navy. The navy has claimed she does not exist,…[Read more]

I’m figuring that if the extra damage was included, Kihwe would be more expensive, and possibly OP, which I didn’t want.

Urupan probably strays into broken or OP territory the most out of these 4, though I think his 9 point cost and ability wording keep it from being too ridiculous.

Point cost adjustments on the way for Liha and Gukon.

Timarkos…[Read more]

Two more! Only 7 more crew after these, and then onto the Pirates!

Gukon
Points: 4
Ionic
Ability: This ship may dock at an enemy home island and load one treasure. If able she must leave on her next turn.

Flavor: Daring and sometimes reckless, Gukon was once a smuggler. Instead of being hung, he was conscripted into the navy to do the dirty…[Read more]

Only a few more of the Ionic crew, and then onto the Pirates!

Kihwe
Points: 9
Ionic
Ability: When this ship is given a shoot action, you may choose to reduce all her cannons to S and select a single target to which all cannons can draw a clear line of fire. Roll a d6; if the result is more than the rank of all of this ship’s cannons they all h…[Read more]

I know the inspiration for the 12th legion, but the name might be better if you just called it ‘legion’. I’d still know what it’s referencing and whatnot.
Name aside, that’s a powerful ship. 6 cargo and plenty of point room for some of the more expensive named American crew. This would definitely be a dreadnought in larger games as well as campaigns.

Two more crew!

J’Ree
Points: 8
Ionic
Ability: Captain. EA.

Flavor: Recently promoted to commander, J’Ree is trying desperately to avoid the stereotype of arrogant, quick to temper and bull-headed commanders. So far his efforts have earned him the respect of his men and subordinates.

Ortam
Points: 8
Ionic
Ability: For each target enemy ship wit…[Read more]

Why is Jasper Greene so expensive? I don’t think that version of the copy ability is worth that much, since the only things you’ll be copying are by and large generic abilities like musketeer, firepot specialist or helmsman.

Also, why is Theoden 7 points? Those abilities have been seen together at 6 points on crew like Jonathan Haraden, Lord…[Read more]

Two more crew!

Atuam
Points: 4
Ionic
Ability: Explorer. SAT.

Flavor: Atuam lives fast, like a bullet from a gun. Easily excitable and always restless he is often the first off the ship when land is made, and lives for the chance to explore new and unknown lands.

Kano
Points: 8
Ionic
Ability: This ship does not roll for effect when she uses a…[Read more]

For now I’ve upped the cost of the canoes to 17, but kept all of their other stats intact, such as their movement, cargo, etc. I think it would make a good blog post, or perhaps a podcast topic?

Anewo could have black mark, but the source (onewa, toa of stone, metru-nui) had a mind controlling ability. I didn’t want to make him a standard mind…[Read more]

Bit of a double post, but I came across this in my doc and spreadsheet.

K’Tung
Points: 25
Masts: 5
Cargo: 4
Cannons: 3S-3L-4S-3L-3S
Movement: L
Ability: Every time this ship is hit, roll a d6. On a 4-6 this ship is not hit, eliminate a mast from the attacking ship.

That’s what it is/was. I recall some debate about this one when I revealed it o…[Read more]

Two more crew! Possibly one of the more OP things I’ve made recently. 😀

Anewo
Points: 10
Ionic
Ability: Once per turn roll a d6. On a 5-6 move an enemy ship L in any direction.

Flavor: Anewo is a man of substance. If he cannot see it or touch it, it is not real. Despite this he has an almost unnatural ability to get people to do what he…[Read more]

The Tura crew is supposed to be the Chieftain associated with the Matoran Canoes. I think I’ll just up their point cost to around 15-17. I don’t want to make them too expensive, but you do make good points about their potential.

All three IMO. The cargo is extremely important with canoes; one set of those could be a gold running powerhouse even without factoring the auto Captain into play. 10 cargo spaces for 13 points with plenty of speed and the possibility of five 4S shots in addition to that – very impressive. The Star Chaser is less OP than most other Battleships I…

[Read more]

I would argue that the Matoran Canoes are likely more OP than the Chaser, though I like them better.

What makes them OP? Their speed, cargo, ability, or a combination of all three?

Two new crew!

Amakav
Points: 6
Ionic
Ability: Captain. Re-roll.

Flavor: Despite his protests, Amakav was placed in command of the Ionic navy and oversees fleet…[Read more]
