Eh, so, yeah, drake = I win button.

As I look at Drake, I see a "P2" rating...

I did the math with the navigation rating didn't I?   

Last die was a hit, so two hits instead of three. Take the treasures, not the vp.

...except that you can't duplicate a piracy reward until you've given out all possible rewards from that zone...

So, it wasn't a choice at all, first treasure and 1 vp it is then.

[Maximus]

Isn't that Drake's special ability?

[ulmont]

Isn't that Drake's special ability?

Not really.  Drake's two special abilities are:

1) England chooses the reward for any piracy hit when Drake is present, instead of the target power as usual; and
2) Drake may choose to use up a piracy hit in order to repair his expedition (flip his damaged counter over to the
front side).

So if England scores 1 hit with Drake, Viking could choose a treasure or a VP, say, where Solmyr might have given a different reward.  But - just like Solmyr couldn't choose to give 2 treasures here, neither can Viking.  You can see Ed Beach agree at the links I posted above.

[Solmyr]

So wait, which treasure is it then? Number 4? I got confused.

Also, I assume your VP should in fact be 10 now since they were 9 before.

[ulmont]

Treasure #4, yes.

Tamas is up, btw.
