Limit number of Levi cards cast on a single ship

Big -1. Danik said it. It would eliminate ship steal almost all together. Why play a pirate game if you can't pirate.

I do see your point and it has been discussed ever since ship wreck has come out. But to Harons point the cost of casting 10 Levi's only at a "Chance" at getting a Lvl 1 ship back. Most people would not invest the voodoo/gold in the hopes their target was a 60. It's a gamble. Big gamble at current ship prices.

What is needed is Ship Abilities and Flag Ship. Hoping Ship Abilities would bring a slight Levi protection for the big ships.

I don't see the downside to making an Sotl unsinkable by levi.
If you want it, take out the other ships and steal it while its lvl 10. same as a MoW

I cannot see cost justification of sinking anything smaller for recovery, so I would not consider this protection for anything smaller than the SOTLs

[DezNutz]

+1 as long as it is restricted to 10 .

In all seriousness:

-1

However, I could understand the idea of restricting ship sinking to say match plundering. If the ship is the last ship (tail) in the fleet, leviathan should be able to sink it. If the ship is not the tail, the lowest leviathan can take the ship down to is lvl 1. Provides a limitation to leviathan, but does not prevent it from sinking a ship.

[Cutpurse]

how about limiting number of levies that can be cast on any ship, that is not positioned last in the fleet? this would allow ship stealing as usual
edit - dez beat me to this idea

[Shadowood]

It's not the ship you're after it's the attribute points.

If you are only concerned about ATT points then you would want to get rid of the Sabotage card. Not Levi.

Levi's are needed in this game. MoW and Flagship currently are the only ships protected and I believe it should remain this way. I might be persuaded to include a SOTL. Not sure.

Why limit this at all? In my opinion, sinking a ship with Leviathans is a legitimate strategy, whether it is to hunt for the ship or just as retaliation. I think this works just fine.

Agreed

10 leviathons @12-13 credits each on the market.

16-17.5 mill worth of cards. not gonna happen for BOW or even a LF. SOTL maybe.

This is a game strategy developed by those who specialize in this for profit.

Find a way to counter it that doesn't involve taking away a tool for others.

This is what makes PG the " thinking mans game".

Don't forget that some don't care about costs. When you are eyeing for the destruction of another, costs are secondary.

no one is going to try and drop your 60 att BOW or Frigate with levis with the hopes of recovering it

You're wrong on that score
