@Xerecs: My concern with contradictions is the “exact wording” part.
SOMEONE will be like: “This one says Captain; and that one doesn’t” (no one here; but someone, somewhere would)I feel like the faction specification in Lilith’s ability might hinder the power a little more than what you may be implying, since only Cursed ships will be getting…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Alright, that makes sense. I can adjust his point cost to be a li’l more accurate.
Now, back to Eldest Seas, I’ve got two more Cursed pieces for y’all!
Relevant Keywords:
–Privateer: This piece may use its abilities on any ship, but it gains the Loyal: X keyword for its flag faction.
–EA: Once per turn, roll a d6. On a 5-6, give this…[Read more]

@Xerecs: I can make the Alkahest a few more points without problem.
If I reduce the Agramon’s range it will be to L in order to properly maximize her ability.
Jonathan Morgenstern has the Nephilim keyword, because the character in the books that he is based on is something of a “fallen good guy”, and therefore would have the abilities/skills of…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Ok, I see your point, but at the same time, I was going for the “twin ship” idea with the Acclamator II and the Gladiator II. I can make an accurate Acclamator II for after/between sets; if I keep the stats on this ship, what star destroyer class/star wars ship could I change it’s name to?

Jonathan Bowen replied to the topic Custom Ships (post your custom game pieces here!) in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 1 month ago
@Xerecs: While I understand your frustration at the Acclamator II’s name origin vs actual ship, what would you suggest that a “carrier” ship even do in this game? How would it/could it work? Since she’s an English ship, I feel that a purely attack-oriented gunship would best represent a class of star destroyer, in this instance.

@Xerecs: On the topic of the HMS Abnegation, how many points would you suggest?
And as for Lt. Tremaine, he has the same ability as Quartermaster Hawthorne from Dark Tides, which is 5 points, and the Sub-Hunting ability. So… 7 points?Also, I know your opinions on North, but before I go completely retconning him, I’d like to get a few more…[Read more]

@Xerecs: In the case of the Moonfire, would you suggest an S+S base move, or should I just go all the way down to L?
The Irondale can have her points reduced; ~17, maybe?
Surrez would technically be a Marine that wouldn’t take up cargo, yes. Since he also has the Oarsman and Privateer keywords, do you think he should be more than just 7…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Thanks a ton for reading all of it!
Part of the Ghost Ship keyword: “A ghostly ship ignores islands, terrain, and other ships when moving, but cannot end a move action with any part physically overlapping an island or another ship.”
From the Pirate Code: “-The effect of ghostly only applies when the ship is moving. If it stops on…[Read more] -

@xerecs/etc: Making your own custom ships could get a lot easier (and maybe even cheaper LONG term) with 3D printing! You probably saw the recent posts at the FB group; makes me want to get a 3D printer of my own! (I’ve already seen 2 recommendations there for printers under $300)
I would LOVE to try my hand at 3D printing ships, not only…[Read more]

El Cazador replied to the topic Custom Ships (post your custom game pieces here!) in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 3 months ago
I think that “Shipwrights” is the same as “Shipwright” for ability purposes, but “Shipwrights” looks better on a deckplate. The HMS Centurion is not a shipwright (crew version), but has shipwrights aboard (ship version) and thus can repair one mast per turn at sea, at an island, or anywhere that is a legal action, really.
If this is…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Indeed, the submarines can really throw a wrench into strategy plans and endgame situations. Another reason to not use such a non-Age of Sail mechanic 😉 … but they can be fun and add some spice to the game. In this game the English would have won properly if I had kept playing, but alas.
I certainly plan to try another bottleneck…[Read more]

Forgot to add this to my last post 😅😅
@Xerecs: The smaller changes can be made to the crew to make them easier to understand; I probably short-handed Leif’s ability, leading to your confusion
I don’t think the Balrog needs to be that expensive, since I don’t think the ability would come into play except in a campaign
So, how many points do you…[Read more]

@Xerecs: When it comes to Gimli and Leif, I probably used WK pieces as my point base, and then added onto them for Ex-Pat. Chances are, though, that WK over-priced them, especially the Marine.
And yes; it is a reference to Salem from FoBI 😜😀😀@Ben: Looking at King Fergus, I could probably ditch the Crew Protection to keep him at a usable price?…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Thanks!! I was hoping the gold scores would be even closer, but after the top spot it was still somewhat close in a few groups. In the future I might tone down the super-valuable gold so one or two loads doesn’t unbalance the final scores.
Glad to hear you’ll be playing again this summer. CoEC I assume?
Have fun,
