An intriguing concept : I rather like this one, the random element is a nice risk/reward factor : might I suggest the addition of a card such as Tidal Wave to the recipe ? It is tempest thus summoned, along with the Confusion cast on it which will break the fleet's cohesion leaving the straggler to be Ravaged ?

[Shadowood]

Thanks for the suggestion Danik. I will add the tidal wave, good call

I was thinking about your Rutter Tech and bumped it actually before I posted this. Was thinking about a what if, each level of Rutter Tech increases the chance of harmful fleet voodoo failing by 1%. So at level 20, there is a 20% chance of this voodoo failing if an attackers casts on you. Just a thought...

I'd be wary of adding that to its benefits : though it does have some logic to it : I think battle and skills should perhaps be best served by technologies more directed at them : thus your admirals might benefit from a 'Naval Warfare'' technology which would give such bonuses to your fleets in battle. Likewise, a ' Advanced Shaman' technology could give bonuses to voodoo aspects, both in attack and defence but also perhaps more overall, such as increased chances of 'winning' a result for cards like Duplicate, Mindbar or other 'coin toss' cards.

Like the Idea,

I agree with the tidal wave as an ingredient


What would the status of the lone ship become?
- usable - if you have an extra admiral available
- unusable - if you don't
- or unusable - either way

- if the ship is not captured or sunken does it return to fleet after duration of card
if so what if the fleet it was separated from no longer exists.

I generally like it, but it seems a little weak. Doesn't Ravage do the exact same effect except it targets a specific ship instead of a random ship in a fleet?

Maybe something like this:
Recipe: 2 Confuse, 1 Ravage, 1 Fugitive from Justice

Effect: When the Siren's Call, a random ship in target fleet will be removed and put into a new fleet with 18 Danger. Fleet will gain +3 Danger every hour. Voodoo has an additional 30% chance of blocking a Purify or Serenity.

I feel this could be a very powerful card. As ravage only attacks ships not in a fleet. If you came across a big fleet like (1 MoW, 2 SoLT, 2 Cutters) you have a 20% chance to get the MoW or basically 60% chance at MoW or SoLT out of the fleet. You could then cast disfavor and ambush that one ship and plunder gold at a much faster rate. This card is anything but weak.

No duration. Performs the same task as Ravage in the sense it just creates a new fleet for a ship. The owner of the ship, I believe would need an admiral for that fleet to use. I have never had a ship ravaged and saved but think that's how it works.

if the fleet was 4 sotls and a cutter tail - this would either pull an sotl out or take the tail off the fleet, both would have their advantages.

Aye. It would make some rethink fleet make up.
