Ability: One of this ship’s treasures is worth +2
gold when unloaded at your home island.
The Pirates seem to specialize in tiny, inexpensive
ships. This is realistic; most pirates couldn't
afford a big square-rigger, and wouldn't buy one if
they could - small ships were more maneuverable and
better suited for piracy. But this one seems tinier
than usual. Her cargo is terrible, as is her one
cannon. Her speed is nothing to write home about.
She's a poor gold runner, a worse fighter, and don't
even think of boarding with her. So what is she,
something to blow five points on when you've bought
everything else you want?
Ahh, no. This ship has a major role to play, and
that role is to stay at your home island and never
move. Yes, you heard me. Your other ships gather the
gold, and instead of unloading it at your home
island, they transfer it to the Ahura Mazda, one
coin at a time. The Ahura Mazda then unloads that
coin, and runs up its value by +2. The little ship
has paid for itself after only three coins, and
every treasure she handles after that is pure
profit.
An ability like this is worth quite a bit more than
five points, in this captain's humble opinion. The
Pirates already have a ship with this ability, the
Greed's Hammer, but the Hammer has good cannons and
cargo, and also costs more than twice as much. The
Ahura Mazda is good for only one thing - treasure
inflation - and she does it well, for a very low
cost.
