If you were hoping for a powerful Spanish fighting ship, the new El Acorazado is a disappointment. This ship, on the other hand, will not disappoint in any way, shape, or form. She might be one of the best gunships in the game. She's certainly an improvement on the original ship of that name, which was a treasure-stealer and a so-so fighter.

La Resolucion is in the same category as the USS Franklin and HMS Gallows. All are average-speed, four-masted ships with 2-rank cannons and a bonus that effectively makes them 1-rank. Does it get any better than this? Yes, in two ways, and La Resolucion has both of them.
Unlike the other two ships, this Spaniard has a mix of S-range and L-range cannons, so she can hit her target no matter what kind of guns that target might be immune to. She is also less expensive than the Gallows.

Drawbacks? La Resolucion isn't the fastest ship on the seas, so she'll need a Helmsman in addition to her Captain. Her cargo isn't so great, but three crew is all she'll ever need. The third crew should probably be a Shipwright to repair all the damage this ship is going to take in battle. But, oh, the damage she'll dish out in return!

When I give a ship perfect marks, it doesn't mean the ship has S+S+S speed, 8 cargo, and does double damage with each 1-ranked shot. It means the ship is very, very good at something that's worth doing, and is also a superb value for the point cost. La Resolucion earns a 5 for being one of the best fighters you can buy.

Total rating: 5 / 5

La Resolucion
Masts: 4
Cargo: 3
Move: L
Cannons: L2, S2, S2, L2
Points: 13
Ability: This ship gets +1 to cannon rolls against all non-Spanish ships.
 
     Aah, my favorite Spanish fighting ship! This ship is fearsome. 13 points gets you average cargo, slow speed, and great cannons, plus a killer ability! Yesterday we had a ship for one point more and one more mast with deathly worse stats. Obviously the Spanish needed a good ship in this pack, and here we are!
 
     First off, it needs crew. A captain, helmsman, and Nemesio Diaz seems fair. That gives it the ability canceller, plus a good move and almost always rank-1 cannons. Sure, its expensive for a 4-master, but its worth it!
 
     This is my flagship for all Spanish fleets. A tad expensive and a few low stats drops it a little, but still, I love this ship!
 
4 / 5
