Fleet "Spanish treasure fleet" Help
Fleet "Spanish treasure fleet" - 45 Points (standard format) show extended format
created by phantasus 

Most fleets concentrate on winning the game by shooting down enemy ships but this fleet tries to win by peaceful treasure running.

When placing islands you should try to be as far away from your opponent as possible. You should also try to place Icebergs or better Reefs between the islands you might explore.

Use Hidden Cove in you first turn to dock La Joya del Sol at the nearest wild island. With your normal action take 3 treasures from that island and then use Zhengs ability to move back. With two actions in your next turn you should be able to unload 3 treasures without having met any enemy ship. It's neccesary to leave one treasure on the island because it avoids enemy ships using Hidden Cove to derelict her. Zheng also helps you to prevent the effects of negative UTs. If you find Runes of Defense or the Cross of Coronado even fast ships won't be able to destroy the Joya in one turn.

Meanwhile La Monarca tries to get treasure from a second wild island.

After you saved the gold you can get a second island or build a fort with the Joya. Besides Hidden Cove Fotg is essential because the Joya is vulnerable to Mermaids.

Foul Winds is most effective if you managed to place a reef between your home island and the wild island the Joya is going to explore. Because even if your enemy is fast enough to reach the joya in the second turn and derelict her (assuming you didn't find Runes of Defense) you can use Foul Winds to drive the gunship in this reef and you have the monarca left to get gold furthermore.



I hope you leave some comments and suggestions to help me to improve the fleet :-)

If you find mistakes or something like that i would be thankful if you help me to correct them because it's my first fleet, I am quite new in this business and English is not my first language

Edit: Vladsimpaler made a really good suggestion to add in El Algeciras with a generic captain.

The helmsman and Dominic Freda are not necessary on the Monarca - a simple explorer would also work and there is still one point left. Perhaps someone has an idea for a better use of these points?

Ah yes, the classic La Joya de Sol + Zheng Li Kwan!

A very good choice on your part!

Here's a couple a ideas for you:

1. Remove the Helmsman from the Monarca. You're not going to reach the WI in one turn, so you can take it out.

2. If you remove both Freda and the Helmsman and add an explorer, with your 6 extra points add in OE El Algeciras and a generic captain.

I have to go, so I'll add more later.

Great fleet, though!

El Algeciras is a really good choice! Thanks for your idea. I think i will use Luis Zuan on the Algeciras and add in an oarsman. Raft is also an option.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea to me!
