[b]Remember to hit the notification bell to receive updates about the big reveal.[/b] Thank you once again for your support, and we can't wait to share more exciting content with you in the days leading up to our big announcement! Now let’s talk about… [h1]El Cazador[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31504197/0ca36e9e6282c8d42d354842c813c4294cc68330.png[/img] [i]The Cazador[/i] (The Hunter) is a ship with an intriguing history and has been my personal favorite since the days of developing the [i]Flying the Jolly Roger DLC[/i]. I've always had a strong desire for a unique, proper mid-game galleon, bridging the gap between early-game quest ships and [i]the Gryffondor[/i]. My aim was to terrorize everyone during the Saga quest and to beat [i]the Caleuche[/i] with style. However, we ended up with [i]the Toreador[/i], which I strongly dislike for several reasons: [list] [*] You acquire her rather late in the mid-game; [*] She's the reward for a quest with the tightest timers in the game; [*] You have to abandon her during the infamous siege of Cartagena; [*] I probably just suck at playing this game. [/list] The Cazador, on the other hand, is a different story. If you're a skilled seaman, she can survive in line combat and her 32-pound cannons can make life miserable for even a second-rate warship. My current thinking is to reduce her speed and allow her to carry more men. Voilà! A compelling alternative to the Toreador until the Gryffondor arrives, dozens of hours later in the game. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31504197/66f8c6c6d322d66ed246b4ddf604976fc8a6cafd.png[/img] She's no easy prize. Remember the crazy battle of Isla de Coche? With the updated Cazador as the flagship of the Spanish flotilla, the fight will be even tougher. Even if you emerge victorious, I must caution you that she is the property of Casa de Contratación. The higher-ups may take offense, but there is a silver lining as they'll be displeased with Charlie Prince, not Charles de Maure. That wraps it up for today! Tomorrow, we will talk a bit more about the progress we are making at the colony development department. Good hunting. ːjollyrː
