Beautiful ship set.
Fabulous utility for playing scenarios in the Great Age of Sail.
But, I do not game in the Great Age of Sail.
4-star rating because it is beautiful but nearly useless for a fantasy setting.
Most races and nations in fantasy settings do not have gun powder weapons.
In the 'verse I play in, only one nation of humans and the dwarves (order & chaos) have such weaponry.
That means only 17% utility.
Now, what could change that would be one of two changes or many even both if I can be so bold.
1) Leave the weapon ports, but remove the cannons on both decks and let the purchaser fill in the mounts with ballista/trebuchets of their own.
2) Provide trebuchets for the open deck and ballista for the weapons deck.
Granted, you have provided ballista-like weapons on the fore-deck (or are they just harpoons) and a dragon fgurehead, but there does not appear to be any other fantasy touches.
Would love for you to do the changes specified.
Thank you otherwise for a beautiful ship.
