What do we think of the MOC ships from Evil Stevie's Pirate Game

[Mister Phes]

What do we know of Evil Stevie's Pirate Game?

It seems to attract a myriad of small ships with brick built hulls.

For these ships, i think it's probably not very realistic for ships this small to have such a large cannon.

A lot of the ships are Imperial Trading Post Cutters made in different colors it seems.

i know there are some limitations for the size of the ships for this game

for instance, the amount of hit points on ships is based on how many hull sections are on the ship.

if the ship's too small for a hull piece, then it's considered a cutter.

if you have a ship like my Dame du Loup and it's 32-34 studs wide and the hull is 140 studs long and no hull pieces, you can't easily give it a hit point rating.

I'd be interested to know if there are more rules to bypass this limitation.

EB member UKDevilz (pretty sure it's spelt right) made another pirate game that goes by the length of the ship for hit points.

There has been a little discussion about this stuff in the Lego Wargames forum right here.

Unfortunately that website hasn't been updated since the 4th of August 2005, so does anybody know if they still play it?

Ah yes, I'm browsing through that... Anway, I was more interested in discussing the MOCs used rather than the game itself hence posting this thread in the Pirate MOC Forum. Perhaps I should revise the title...

That ship is definitely a good archtype for a cutter, but I'm wondering if they ever create something more original.

I had seen such ships before. They are only designed to be used in the pirate game and are not much to look at.

Suppose I would capture one of these ships, I would not take it as a prize but sink it instead. The world would be a more beautiful place without them :skel1:

[Scouty]

Don't waste your ammo on these! Just ram strait into it! It's brick built hulls will break instantly!

Some of them are nice, but not what I call the best, good luck to these guys with these ships *y* . They'll need it! I like the blue and gray one in the background. It's rails look quite nice. :capn:

Not sure what a "gam" is ;-) .

I'd try to go for something more realistic looking. The penguin is more realistically designed. But before judging too harshly, I think it should be taken into consideration the fact that these ships were built way back in 2005. Their MOCing abilities probably (hopefully) have improved a lot since the creation of these we little ones.

Also, they probably just made as many ships as possible to increase their chances of winning. (more ships=more wins) They'd probably swarm the enemy with all these little guys. If they made one bigger ship with all these bricks, that ship would be very colorful indeed.

You be a good little moderator and correct the error then - there's a reason why "gam" is there. :-P

Do you mean me or Imperial Scouts :S ?

Anyway, it's corrected!

[El Bucanero]

Is there anyone who ever played this game??

Imperial Scouts is no moderator is he :-D

Well, strange thing it wasn't corrected on my computer... I couldn't resist editing :-$

EDIT: aagh, everytime when I edit the title it just get back after a few seconds! I guess the title's to long...

I never played the game. There are no pirate fans in my neighborhood...

Mr. Phes must be drinking again. ;-)

Now it's changed.

I've replace "used in" by "from" to make the title a bit shorter.

That sentence was supposed to be directed towards Bonaparte or Mr Tiber but somehow it ended as a response to Imperial Scouts post.

I think I need to go on long vacation...

My brother and i are in the process of recreating rules for pirate gaming, although it'll probably be a lot different cause of the use of excell and laptops for all the calculations and tabulations instead of using a written paper ;-)

We both live in platteville, WI.

His 150-175 cannons, and almost 500 troops verses my 75-100 cannons and 180ish troops.

But he doesn't have enough ships built to hold many of his men. We crunched some numbers and realized that if i only used the Dame du Loup, it would be very difficult for his 12 smaller vessels (which are almost all non-MOC ships) to take it out.

There are a lot of drinkers on the pirate forum :-D

Don't drink too much during your vacation. X-D

That's strange, because used and from both have four letters... I thought the lenght of a title was in letters, not in .... millimeters??

EDIT: oops, I forgot it was used IN before, and you made one word out of it...

Must be school stress...

Computers are wonderful inventions aren't they? Will it just be you and your brother or do you know of other pirate fans who would play?

We don't know of any pirate fans nearby. 8-|

Although we are looking for ways to have a pirate game online. But that's way down the line. Probably in a year or two. Depending on how much time i have.

The rules aren't close to being done right now so we'd need to finish them before getting them online :)

[Mister Phes]

Will do you rules differ to those of Evil Stevie's Pirate game?

[Specever]

Got some friends, siblings, or... Uhhh... That's all I can think of, but, do you have people that also love LEGO Pirates, and have LOADS of ships and pirates? (For siblings, let them borrow yours unless they have their own...) Well, you will love to play this Pirate War Game!

http://www.io.com/~sj/PirateGame.html

It is about strategy, and skills. It is very realalistic. Once I get some ships, I will try it with my brother!

You're gonna love it.

[Ryan_T]

Well Throw me overboard! *Not really, Sharks will eat me :O* If I had more then just brickbeards bounty I could possibly try! lol

[Captain Blackmoor]

I don't know if this has anything to do with Lego pirates.

It looks like a quite nice game anyway. But I've just installed another pirates game. And so does CPT. Jr.

My collection is pretty massive and I feel like I need to do more with it than just let it sit around, so I have been playing Evil Stevie's Pirate Game with my fleet for several years now. I even asked Steve Jackson if he wanted to played with me at DragonCon, but he didn't want to commit to anything.
