I dont see what all the fuss is about. Its a factor that may affect a single-ship attacker once in a blue moon. Its not biased as either side can have and use it. As indeed either side can use any trait. The choice is in whether the owner wants that trait or another.
I doubt the target fleets owner even knew that ship.had levi assault or cared. If asked thry would have preferred extra cargo 999 times out of a thousand.
Odd things happen.. its a bad move to legislate on the basis of such chance events. Xanadhu had an attack fleet lose when a sloop with 1 HP still beat three of his ships... cos that can happen but chances it will happen again are beyond calculation.
Moral of the tale is simple : dont assume a single warship will.always beat a trade fleet..armed or not. The battle isnt just about cannon firepower.

I honestly love it and would love it if that happend to me aswell. I am all for this to happen if ship lasted three rounds to be able triggering that trait. It forces people to take in traits as very important game mechanic
Leviathan Assault is a ship trait that becomes active for use during the 3rd round of battle. If a ship with this trait reaches the 3rd round of battle, they can call upon the Leviathan to destroy the opposing ship. There is only a 5% chance of the leviathan assault being successful and when it is successful if any other ship in that fleet possesses that trait, those other ships cannot use it during that Plunder. The leviathan assault is not activated by a cannon, it is a summoned beast of the sea.
The circumstance of this specific battle are what I consider rare but show that there is risk fighting with only a single ship fleet.
