Talk:Ship's Wizards

So are ships easy enough to build that the incentive is to destroy them rather than capture them? The big problem with fire is that it's pretty hard to go back from, even with bunches of Create Water spells.

Well, Petrans won't let their ships get captured: they'll scuttle before they let mainlanders get ahold of the bombards. Likewise, what use does a dwarf have for a Odessan swift boat, or what use does an Odessan have for a huge, ponderous floating invasion platform. Generally speaking, naval combat is rare, but when it does happen, the Petrans and Odessans aim to sink, while the dwarves are more inclined to capture, simply based on their preference for boarding tactics over ranged attacks. -gm
