I had a lot of fun playing shrouded spoils Tuesday night, hunting skele ships, killing megs, and making friends. Decided to play again tonight and invited my gf to give the game another shot given how much more there is to experience.
Here's how it went, we sailed across the literal entire map trying to get to a pirate ship cloud experienced no ships or anything along the way. Finally get there and this was the battle...
Two skele ships come up and proceed to curse our boat permanently with the anchor drop cannon ball until we ran out of boards and get hit off the boat in our scramble. literally could not raise anchor and get out of there or even position for shooting. was just sitting there till we died, bailing water for more than 5 minutes strait with zero options. I really don't think locking a ship down till it inevitably dies is a good design decision. Maybe I can convince gf to play in a couple more months.
