Hi folks and thanks for all the encouragement. It wasn't until after I had posted the Scurvy idea that I found that it had already been suggested earlier.
Don't want to be plagiarising the ideas of others now do we...

Well I had a look at what cards were currently being used and the ideas around. I have not seen (as yet) a reference to ships being "Becalmed".

There is Favorable Winds which give 5% additional speed. I am sure that against this there were times when ships were stuck with no winds for days on end and crews went out for a little rowing exercise towing the ship to find a location where the wind picked up again.

Seem to remember film scenes in "Moby ****" and "Mutiny on the Bounty" where being Becalmed was a real danger and hazard to sailors.

It is another idea to kick about and let others contribute.

Another idea is brewing now... lol

You can read voodoos abilities to figure out what you may want to have as a voodoo. which will help you to find more original ideas hopefully. Dont get discouraged just research more;)
If your idea was about decrease ship speed. control the sky voodoo card decrease ships speed %10 favorable winds increase speed %10. and both of them can stack 5 times which means total %50.

IF I read right. You want a voodoo card that stops ships from continuing moving? There is a card called Flood that already does this with trade routes.


I recommend you get use to the game's voodoo before you make suggestions. Or at least know all of it.


You can find all the voodoo here http://s2.piratesglory.com/cardshow.php

The idea was not to destroy it so Flood is not quite what I had in mind.
Mugiwara is closer with the slow down or delay the arrival to the port it was travelling to.
Becalmed could have a set time limit (which could be stacked) and could even change the course of the ship so it arrived at the wrong port.

I may be new to the game and need more research, but telling someone off for trying is very dis-heartening DoS.

Maybe my ideas are crap to you but at least it opens up discussion which could lead to new ideas being generated by others.

You mean "Control the Skies"?

I mean none such when I tell you to learn all the voodoo to not post duplicates of other already existing voodoo. It does not mean I think your suggestions are crap, it means you should get a bit more familiar with the game's voodoo.

And Mugiwara is telling you of an already existing voodoo card that does what you have suggested.

Control the Skies
Description: 'Decreases ship speed by for 10% for all target player fleets"
----

Changing the course of a fleet is an entirely different idea.

Jubo dont take it personal DoS dont have any bad feelings against you. Just trying to help you. I was same like you. you just need to get a bit more familiar with voodoos, game mechanics and more importantly suggestion types,

For example my mother language not english and i thought you trying to say slowing down the fleets speeds. And also DoS thought you trying to say demolish a travel route. You can make suggestions its not a problem but read a few suggestion structures and try to aplly them to your suggestions.

That way you can be more clear with your intentions. For your suggestions explaining it with simple words and clearly will always helpful to me who really simple minded. Dont discouraged for that comments. Nothing personal here.

Sincerely Mugiwara...
