Another nifty combo I’ve had success with recently is:

Combined game rules

Ability text (found on the fronts of cards) overrules these rules; that is, abilities are meant to beexceptions to these rules.

————————————————-

You can’t shoot at ships docked at their home islands, and you can’t shoot at a ship in your own fleet.

Better late than never I suppose.

Report 1 for CoEC 2022 is now up!

Stoked that plans are in the works for next year!

We’ve established turn order, but not much else. We’re discussing changes to certain mechanics and also which factions will be used.

I suspect Maortiheel the Exalted One will see action mostly on gunship builds, though putting him on the Grinder or Hades Realm would make for an interesting Hybrid scenario.

I have a question about forts. When you’re shooting at a fort, do you have to aim for the fort itself, or would hitting the island it is built on be enough to target it?

Sea creatures are considered to be ships. Any actions, abilities, or other effects that refer to ships can be applied.
-Segments/tentacles/etc. are considered masts. Any actions, abilities, or effects that refer to masts can be applied

Given the above, I think they…[Read more]

Don’t hate me but I’ve got more. 😀

Smokepot Specialist: “Once per turn when this ship is given a shoot action, you may declare that one of her cannons is shooting a smokepot instead of a cannon; you do not need to target a ship. Simply place the center of a fog bank within S of this ship; it may not touch an island or any ship…[Read more]

Does this mean that if I shoot at whatever is indicated by X, the letter of marque would remove itself, regardless of if I used Parley?

In other words, if I have American letter of…[Read more]

I’ve got more questions. 😀

The Code, Stacking Abilities, Pg 16

“If two or more abilities have the exact same “trigger” (or requirements) and produce the exact same effect they are
treated as the same ability and cannot be stacked, even if their text is slightly different.”

Would this also apply to crew abilities and equ…[Read more]

How many ships can you board with the S-Board ability on the same turn? Can you even use that ability to board more than one ship in a move action?

Woelf, July 22, 2021
You can only use it to board a single ship with each move action, but if you gain an additional move action, you can use it again against the same target or…

Inquisitor: If this ship succeeds at a boarding party, she can eliminate all of the other ship’s crew.

You have to decide as soon as your ship touches the whirlpool if you’re going to use it or not. If you stop to tow the derelict, that puts you past that moment, so you’ll have to wait for another move action to tow the ship through.

Would this also apply to shooting with a captain?

Suppose there is a derelict ship on a whirlpool. I want to capture that ship and use the whirlpool to tow the ship away. Does my ships move action end when it initiates the tow?

I couldn’t find anything in the code about the move action ending, but I could have sworn it…[Read more]

The Code, Lord Mycron, pg 29

“If you use this ability, this ship cannot be given any other actions this turn regardless of how many it could generate or would normally have available. This restriction also applies to free actions such as making a scuttle attempt or
transferring crew to or from an island.”

Just to be sure, this prevents using the…[Read more]

“The Code, Sea Dragon, pg 37”

A swoop attack is considered a shoot action, so it cannot be used to attack a ship docked at its own home island.

The ability of Bianco’s Haulers would also prevent being shot at correct, or any similar ability?

Bianco’s Haulers

This ship can’t be…

Ability: Whenever any crew is eliminated, roll a d6; on a result of 6, assign the crew to this ship. Its nationality changes to match the nationality of this ship and it becomes…[Read more]

With no island involved in the transfer I think it would work. I don’t see anything in the Ransom keyword or its Code entry that prohibits transferring a Ransom crew between friendly ships.

It’s not part of the keyword I realized, but part of the ability text on some of the Limit/Ransom crew. The +5 crew specifically were what I was looking a…[Read more]
