Good points there about the Krahta. Would limiting it to once per game be a decent enough ‘fix’ or would re-doing it from the stats up be a better way to go?

Yeah, once per game seems like a good fix.

Okay then, how’s this for wording:

Once per game choose one ship within S of this ship. Roll a d6. On a result of 6 place one Uni…[Read more]

Now that I look at it again, Krahta is actually just OP. You can just park friendly ships next to it until you get the inevitable Nemo’s Plans + X UT (Runes of Thor for unlimited AA’s/etc), not to mention various other combos like Neptune’s Trident. It’s actually just broken. I was trying to look at it from a gimmick/enemy perspective with th…

Krahta by itself isn’t very good I’d think. Even with the Makuta keyword giving her +2 to her cannon rolls, it’s still a sea monster, although somewhat faster than most. Her main draw is her UT ability, which you could try and spam with friendly ships, to get UT’s as you mentioned.

I feel that the Fallen Angel would be some kind of hybrid, since…[Read more]

Two more!

Relevant Keywords:

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.

Borhok— A ship with this keyword ignores the first hit it takes each turn. If this ship has no crew, she cannot be given shoot actions and her base…[Read more]

I think the Moonscape is best as a scout hybrid. The Mercs have better dedicated gold runners and gunships around or below the same cost.

Good point, they do have better gunships, though I’m hard pressed to think of any decent gold runners for the mercs. 😀

My initial thought on the Rod was that is was very powerful, but I re-read it and I…[Read more]

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!

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. 😀

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–>

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.
