General description:
Avast ye scum! Ye'd better not be using treasure the likes of this, or it’s to Davy Jones' locker you will be heading! Never has a man so few friends then when he uses this unique treasure. For everyone gets the same problem. And folks don't take too kindly to their treasure runners derelicted!
Uses:
This Unique treasure, how do I put it best, this treasure is a good way to stop little treasure runners in their tracks, and makes you into Public enemy number 1! I have participated in a couple of games where this UT was used, and the outcome for the person who put it into play was......unpleasant.
Strategies and game play:
If you don't care whose wrath you incite, this unique treasure is ideal in using a fleet whose only interest is in blowing ships out of the water. If this is the case you'll have a lot of 4 and 5 masters that can shrug off the damage and keep fighting.
There is another strategy for using this miniature. If you use it, make sure your treasure runners either have 2 masts or if they have one bring a shipwright. Then use ships or ship stealers, to go in after the revenge has gone off, and steal all the ships that you can, especially if they have gold on them!
The downside to this is if it goes off early, you'll get less ships filled with gold.
This also works with Barbary Corsair and Viking fleets, since in both, they all have oars so you can still get around if you lose all your masts.
And also remember, as soon as it goes off everyone will know who set it and will come after you!
Combos with other miniatures:
This UT works with ships that have oars, like galleys and longships, as well as ships with more masts than you can shake a stick at!
Ways to counteract it:
Oars, oarsmen, or having 2 masts or more.
Strengths/Pros:
Takes 1 mast off of your opponents' ships.
Weaknesses/Cons:
Takes 1 mast off of your ships.
Artwork and aesthetics:
A lightning bolt striking the water is very fitting for a UT named after Odin.
Overall rating:
4 out of 10. To be honest there are too many risks involved using this UT, and they outweigh the benefits. It hurts you as much as your opponents, and the worst part is they will all gun for you once it's used.
