Hi all! This time, the challenge was quite easy...a 40 points gold-runnng fleet using only one of the six permanent nations...France, England, America and Spain were out of my choices from the beginning...after all, Italy is my nation. And, since Cursed don't usually win olympics, i chose Pirates!
Pirates are the best at Olympics games...they have a wide range of athlets, and they cheat. That is, i started working.
Banshee's cry was obviously my first choice: with her whopping speed, she was ready to run the 100 meters dash!
Then i decide to include also Bloody Jewel: for her nice speed and her big cargo, i decided she had to do the long jump.
After ading the jewel i realized i was going toward a Norvegia build! That is, i decided to make creative use of Parley adding my Baron Pierre de Coubertin: White rose was my choice.
Equipped with capt. Mysion, a canceller and an helmsman, she really doesn't have nothing to fear. She will go toward the enemy HI to steal he highest value treasure; and, if she gets caught, she will just reveal parley! You will get back everything you pay: Parley is used once a turn, and, if the White rose stays near the enemy HI, she will just keep taking the highest treasures! Not to mention she will have four brand new shots each turn!
A canceller will prevent the cancelling of Mysion's ability.
Jolly mon is the guy who brings towels to the athlets: he will just stay at your HI carrying a 0LR crew (it's the Hag, let's hope she doesn't bring bad luck at the Olympics!)
With the last 7 points i added some key events:
Favor of the Gods will prevent the White rose or other ships from being poisoned from the other nations...
Hidden Cove is the doping to help the Banshee's achieve enough speed to beat the world record.
Lastly, Mermaids isn't really effective on little ships, but, since all of them carry at least an explorer, it's quite useful as well.
That's all!
ciao! Fede
