It is supposed to be a +4 Keel +4 Hull upgrade.
But the description says 'Adds 6 to the Maximum Keel' (no mention of Hull improvements at all)

The problem here is that some descriptions re-state the bonus list and some do not. Some are flavor and explanation and some are just a longer version of the Upgrade's title.
I don't like inconsistency or data duplication. I'm eliminating anything that is a restate and replacing with descriptive information.

I don't like inconsistency or data duplication. I'm eliminating anything that is a restate and replacing with descriptive information. I'd actually prefer both like in st. For example: Stone Wood Keel (+4 hull/+4 keel) - increases both hull and keel by 4. Increases resistance vs combat damage more than normal keel and hull. Crew Barracks (+30%/+20) - increases crew by 30% and adds 20. Increases encounters more than normal crew. No filler. Nothing to infer or guess. Just a direct statement of what I'm getting. |

Different strategies for different games. The goals for AoP will drive us to what I stated above. Nothing to guess -- the title will state the entire bonus set for the upgrade. |

I enjoy reading the descriptions for how the upgrades are possible in the real world (e.g. Hollow masts). Well, assuming that they are indeed reflective of reality. :-)
Would be very helpful if you added any info on (hidden?) bonuses. For example the +30%/20 crew upgrade mentions soldiers, and I assume they are more battle capable than regular crew for boarding. Would be great if it were specifically stated.
Another example is needing an explanation for under what circumstances Whaleboats would be useful.
