Moonscape is interesting. I’m not sure how often the last part of her ability will come into play, as outside of campaigns there usually isn’t a whole lot of terrain and islands usually don’t get that close to each other, even if they’re Great Turtles :D.

That aside, this is a nice two way ship. You could very easily make her a gunship, given…[Read more]

The Cursed are here! Like the Pirates, the Cursed recieve a sub faction of their own!

Makuta— Denotes as part of the Makuta sub faction. A crew with this keyword is linked to all other crew with this keyword. This ship gets +2 to her cannon rolls.

I posted above today’s post with some questions about your customs.

Not quite sure what you’re talking about, unless it’s the post with the reactions to Snetrak and Trygla.

Speaking of, yes. Sentrak is supposed to be able to target enemy ships. He forces them into a ghostly state for two turns maximum.

Trygla is actually a he…. Yeah his a…[Read more]

Not a bad little gunship there in the Frost. Not a lot of point space to put more than one named crew, and I notice she’s not a longship. Very interesting. I’ll be posting the first Cursed pieces later today.

The dual nationality thing is really interesting. I’d love to see how that is handled during a campaign. Question though, why does he have black mark, since he’s already able to use his abilities on Cursed ships due to his dual nationality.

I really like the Wrath. Good speed for a 5, and decent cargo too. With her combination of abilities, I’d…[Read more]

Interesting concept with the Unicorn Pearl. I think that JW has a similar concept with some of his SR/LE ships in his sets.

Missed two days, so a double! We’ve now seen all the Pirate ships, onto the crew!

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

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. 😀

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

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

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.

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.
