I imagine you'll have a lot of competition.

I imagine you'll have a lot of competition.

 

At least I now have some idea of why it's so easy to confirm that she'll be in the game. And here I thought I was the only one who really favored her.

[Fifrein 2]

Something came up in the discord, and it occurs it's an interesting question for the devs, setting wise: Can Belles be harmed independently of their hull? Will damaging her hull injure a belle or vice versa? And for that matter, just to confirm: Is their hull still physical and a ship when they manifest, despite the rigs? Are Belles just as armored as their ships, or are they effectively normal humans with magical control of a magically enhanced ship?

 

Edit: sub-question, because this also bugged me: I remember reading somewhere that as one traveled farther into a Morgana's Mist, they began to feel the effects of that which the morgana was named for more and more. For example, entering Asphyxiation's Mist leaves you short of breath as you enter and choking as you near the center; or paranoia leaves you more and more worried that at any moment the morgana's gonna jump out at you or your supposed "crewmates" would be working for the enemy. Is this true?

Damage to the ship appears to affect them, although they are immune to direct forms of damage, no matter what the source.

 

While the Morgana appear to become stronger within the Mists, you do not necessarily feel their effects more strongly. It does happen that way at times, but there's not clear correlation.

Damn, lost a bet on the first one. But for the second, the answer was that you actually do feel the effect they're named for? Asphyxiation asphixiates, and paranoia makes you paranoid, and treason makes you treasonous?

>feel the effect they're named for

Idiocy-class Morgana?

LOL! Actually...

 

Fifrein;

 

You *can*- it sometimes happens, but not always. It's not guaranteed to occur.

A question that kind of comes from chatting with YuriMom is are the Belles tethered to their ship in such a way that they can't go too far from their ship? Or are they able to venture a fair ways into the port? The phrase she used was "like a ghost" and only able to go around the general location

They cannot go very far from their ship- roughly 10 yards or so.

But is that far enough to grab a pint? (asking the real questions)

[Legate of Mineta 0]

W99;

 

Yeah, sure! As long as the pub is right on the dock.

[von_Lipstig 3]

>But is that far enough to grab a pint?

AFAIK, 3+" gun sight is enough to make the pint go to the ship...

[DrYuriMom 21]

And thus the mountain comes to Mohammed...

[RockyArby 16]

Could they travel further at their home ports?

RA;

 

Alas, no- it's anywhere.

 

v_L;

 

You have a point.

[RockyArby 16]

Wow, I feel bad for the Belles now. I wonder if they ever wonder about lands beyond the Coast.

I'd say the odds of that are *excellent*!

They probably sing a variation of this song

Hey I got a question. Will there be a story line of sorts?

[Fifrein 2]

Don't even need legate for that one. Yeah, there's gonna be a story for each belle, depending on how close to them you're willing to get!

[Legate of Mineta 0]

And one for the Nations.

[Lubu343 0]

I meant an overarching story line. Like random and pre determined events that happen that affect the story. Like if Cornwall was bombarded from sea by the enemy and there is a chance that the public could panic or Churchhill could use the event to bring the people of England together. Stuff like that.

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Lubu343;

 

Yep- each Nation has a Story which is a facet of the overall Storyline.

Legate of Mineta;

 

Thank you.

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Sure!
