If I'm reading the rules correctly, it's absolutely useless to Habs atm since he has no cards to spend any treasures with.

Correct.  If it had been played earlier, I could have given them to the Ottomans instead of VPs, but they're now useless to me unless I get pirated in Europe.

QuoteOn the other hand, the English and the French could potentially position their captains to intercept it, if I played it later to give them time. So I'm wondering if the Enligsh or the French are willing to cut the Emperor in on the treasure deal. Or well, if the Spanish are willing to offer something to get the fleet away before anyone can pirate it.

I have no interest in when it's played at this point.

QuoteAs an aside, does the pirate marker already in Antilles affect the possible treasure fleet pirating in any way?

No effect whatsoever.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

RE : The Treasure Fleet, though, Sol, do you really think it's in your best interest that you give England and France a heads-up about it?  France is already doing rather well for itself (they swiped a 4 CP treasure in addition to the VP) and you're potentially setting them up for even more VPs.

There is nothing they can offer you that will make up for you essentially handing them VPs.

Well the alternative is me pirating you, Habs. :P

It's not like there's any risk in it at the moment.

I'll be generous though. You know who your friends are. ;)

Since you'll need to mess with the treasures I won't send a file, can you just add 1 regular for me in Szigetvar? Also, should Villegaignon be on the turn track?

A real friend would find some way to get me a card so I could play those treasures to help them.   ;)

Katmai's up.

Sorry, I don't have anything that could do that. I didn't expect you to run out of cards this fast. :P

Your home card lets you do it, actually, but you've already played it.

I expected to run down my hand fairly quickly due to the pretty crappy state of it (and usefulness of the two 1-CP naval cards), but, of course, the hot piracy dice popped any chances of my actually holding cards.

It'd be nice if you could build your galley at some point, though...

I plan to but the Adriatic has already been pirated and I'm not at war with Ottomans anyway, so it's not a big hurry right now.

Yes, I believe that's the case.

Unless Katmai does something truly spectacular upon leaving the theatre, my next play will be that a 1 cp card produces a cavalry in Nicopolis, so you can skip right to England after the Protestants are done.

Oh, sorry, could someone else please tell England that he's up at that point. ;)
