lvl 10 = 100% chance
lvl 9 = 95%
lvl 8 = 90%

maybe something like that.

NO : leave Call Leviathan as it is : its worked perfectly fine for years, its easily understood and used. Start putting random or percentage fail rates in and it becomes a royal pain to plan anything involving them >

PS How odd, as legendary card suggestions seem hellbent on sinking entire fleets with one cast, yet an existing card gets deemed too powerful when it takes ten to sink one ship?

I agree, as well, this topic has disapproved.

The only possible restriction that I could possibly see being implemented would be setting that sinking requires the ship to be the tail on the fleet. And the only reason I could see that being is due to the plunder mechanic where the tail is the only ship to lose levels or sink.

Even with that, I still think that CL is fine as it is. No need to change it, although I can understand some concerns.

The CL card has worked fine but recent game developments have changed the dynamics. In the context of the current game it may be too powerful. It's a tricky balance. The solution could be as simple as making MC cards cheaper and Flagship will make a huge difference.

Given all the comments I agree with leaving it as is. This topic has raised certain issues and hopefully shown how vulnerable some of these big players and their big ships are. Mission accomplished.

--1 to the idea of limiting CL
---1 to changing the value of MC

agree that because recovery is possible it has changed the dynamic.

my 3 suggestions

1 - change nothing - anyone doing this is wasting leviathans that could be used in a much better more cost effective manner
- don't piss someone off to the point they need to do this to you.

2 - make sotl's immune to CL at level 1 - obviously will protect all Sotls - from CL sinking only

3 - make the first position ship of any fleet immune to CL at level 1 - will protect any ship against CL that you choose to place in this position

It should be left alone - to change it now most likely affect future features that are coming, most notably ship abilities.

I have found a mantra that lets me sleep at night concerning my fleets:

Don't sail or use a ship you are not willing to sell or lose.

Don't want your lose a 60 point SotL? Don't use one!

I say we focus our attentions on progressing the game where it really matters and has been lacking for a long time!

Ship abilities and Combat!
