Disclaimer: This would probably be unlocked at the later levels of witch hunt, since it is extremely powerful. I would like to see if people think the cost is too high/too low.

Right now you get "rewarded" a Captain along with a ship when you plunder it from the game.


Rebuttal: This would NOT be used on inactive players, unless some players really like to punch dead bodies. Why would you want to strip an inactive player anyways? You still get a captain from plundering their fleets regardless.

Why would someone with over 200 ships want to use this card ?

Hm. I see your point. I was thinking revenge/defeat. But more that I think about it. There should be some type of gain.

Exploitable, can used to farm inactives.

Is good for large merchants.

When you plunder a ship, you already gain a captain. Why take a captain from another player? -1

That only happens when you have 200 captains and below.

To cheap -

Given your duration, if executed properly you could strip anyone of all their Captains with this card.
Not certain if you gain captains past 200, you were not clear on that.

I stated before. This would NOT be used to farm inactives (why would you even do it, the game already gives you a captain for taking ships). This card is more of a cripple than anything else. To hit their captains and take them out via plunder.


And I am stuck. Should their be a gain to this such as you can plunder their captains even after 200 captains, or could that be a worse exploit?

The card is quite costly, but if I does over 200 captains, possibly a price rise.

you could strip most players of all their captains, not the biggest merchants.


edit: original guess was over 1000,
my math was way off - you would max out around 700 captains - if you managed to plunder most of the players ships.


this would still be a total waste if they managed to clear it.
