Ability: After looking at treasure on a wild island, you may trade any one treasure from that island for a random treasure on any other wild island. This ship must load the traded treasure.

With this ship, the Spanish fleet returns to its roots as they were with the first few Pirates releases - slow and focused on gold.

You couldn't pay me enough to use La Mezquita as a fighter. She's all about treasure, with her big cargo and treasure-swap ability. That's a shame, because the biggest requirement for a gold ship is speed, and this ship has all the speed of a slug wading through molasses. Adding a Helmsman brings her up to S+S, which is still too slow, but not absurdly so. Too bad this also takes up one of your cargo spaces and runs up her sail-away cost.

The proper use of a treasure-swapper would take several paragraphs, so I won't bore you with details here. Suffice to say that the Spanish fleet has three other ships with this ability, and all are either faster, less expensive, or both. It's hard to recommend this one.

Total rating: 1.5 / 5
