On my phone here but Current status hasn't been updated since 2021. I think the Nod section of current leaders and the intel we have on them is from 21 as wel. Some other things I can't remember.

Okay, well, for now I'm waiting on the QM to decide what he wants me to tackle first. If he doesn't have an opinion, I'm open to suggestions, but he gets to decide by default.

Not doing the Inferno Gel is being unproductive. We're going to be finishing 2 of our 3 (Munitions) projects soon, which means if we don't get more, the Munitions department will be wasting your potential progress each turn. And I think the reason Inferno Gel (and Binary Propellant) returned to the project list is because of us finishing the other (Munitions) projects

Sure man wasn't giving any orders just pointing something out, so good luck with that.

So, a point of order that I don't think has been bought up.
Next turn, shouldn't we try to one-turn the Spaceport Bay? I think most of the proto-plans split up orbital dice to get started on multiple Bays, but one of the effects of the Spaceport is reducing the cost of lunar colonization. Since we're probably going to jump on Lunar colonies right after Shala is completed, shouldn't we also have the Spaceport completed the same turn to maximize the use of the cost reduction bonus?

So, as promised, I present an image AAR of my mod, playing as GDI. I've put it into a google document to bypass the image limit, which you can find here. I've also included a unit key in a separate google doc for the benefit of those unfamiliar with this genre of games, which is linked at the top of the document but can also be accessed here, detailing not only what the unit symbols stand for but what GDI/Nod units they correspond to. I do have some ideas for further scenarios, but no idea how long those will take. Hope y'all find this interesting!

Soooo what is this talk of "planning for next quest". Is there information here that I missed or is it from conversation elsewhere?
Also yay on advanced rocket fuels.
Ithillid, also also thumbs up on the writing! You are awesome for all the work you put into this quite fun and also quite complex quest! So amazing.

There has been planning for a sequel to this quest, which would be expansion into the Mass Effect universe in the place of the System's Alliance. How that might go is highly dependent on future events, but looks likely to be very entertaining as various parties panic over little things like our embrace of AIs, prior interaction with off-relay aliens, and heavy societal trauma.

Huh...
Advanced rocket fuels, binary propellant, and inferno gel...
Definitely thinking our rockets and missiles are going to get quite a bit better in the near future and our munitions dept will be very excited.
Once each area finishes its plan goals and we have the capital goods to cover it, I'd be fine finishing up all the AEVAs.
Pretty sure there would be some kind of synergy bonus from finishing all of them. Plus any additional bonuses from North Boston and Aberdeen.

Honestly, I'm not opposed.

I'd like to do particle beams as well. I think they have a really good chance of getting rolled into the laser refit plus any other projects that might come of it.
Unlikely. They're a very different weapon

Victory is never determined by the computer's performance alone, nor is it decided by the skill of the writer alone, the result itself is the only truth.
In all seriousness though I'm also looking at clearing enough time in my own issues to be able to write the SCED Quest. So whichever one of us, or maybe some third party, gets there first means that the SCED Quest will be back all the same. Good luck man I want that part of this thread back as soon as possible. Fix release I guess.
New preliminary plan for next turn after listening to people argue for what should be prioritized next turn:
- 2 Die on Rail Networks for more and cheaper Vein Mine Stages down the line, 1 Die on Emergency Caloric Reclamation Processor to burn some PS and 2 Die on Postwar Housing Refits to work on finishing that off now that another around of Arcologies is done.
- 2 Die on Fusion Power to keep building up our surplus, 6 Dice and Erewhon on North Boston to keep that Phase 5 rolling and 2 Die on Repulsorplate Factories to get that done and get better Space options.
- 4 Dice on Bergen to get Phase 4 done and just keep on rolling into Phase 5.
- 2 Die on Reforestation Preparation to get a Phase of it done, 1 Die on Spider Cotton and Tarrberies each to get a Phase for each and 2 Die on Strategic Food STockpiles to get one and maybe two Phases of that done in preparation for the incoming Karachi refugees.
- 2 Die on Improved Hewlett-Gardner Tiberium Processing Plants to get a Plan Goal closer to completion while getting more processing space opened up, 1 Die to finish off the Enchanced Tiberium Spikes and get our Inhibitor info/data, 3 Dice on Securing Yellow Zones so we can have more territory to mine and expand into and 1 Die on Coordinated Abatement to get that done and our diplomatic relations improved with some warlords.
- 3 Dice on Columbia Spaceport Bay to future-proof our space traffic, 2 Die on Shala to finish that off and 3 Dice on Shala Species Restoration Bay to see how much of our Biosphere we have left.
- 2 Die on Biosculpting to finish that off and 2 Die on portals because Bureaucracy is full of Actions to take this turn and I'm done slowrolling Portals or risking them not finishing next turn as well. @Derpmind Is right we should get portals as soon as we can every time we can until we have the tech done.
- 1 Die on Military Particle Beam Development because I've just realized that if we don't develop that first our next gen vehicles won't be designed with those weapons in mind so I'm delaying that development until we have Particle weapons developed as well, 1 Die on Inferno Gel Development to burn PS and get a new Munitions project, 1 Die on Orca Wingmen Deployment in case that doesn't Autocomplete, I'll swap it to the Refit Department if it does, 2 Die on Stealth Disruptors because while they will be late for the start of Karachi we will still get a new military paradigm out of it, 1 Die on the Island Deployment because it will be enough to demonstrate our commitment to the project and 1 Die into Steel Talons' MRA Factories.
- For once since we lost Security Reviews as an Action to take there are only Bureaucracy Actions here: 2 Die on Transferring funds to InOps to finish off that action set as we can only take it 2 more times, 1 Die on PMM to stop getting NAT 1s that easily and 1 Die on a round of trade to see what that does.

Stahl's Test
You've impressed Stahl with your leadership and skills, and he's decided to offer you a test to prove that you are worthy of being a part of his inner circle. He's brought you deep into GDI territory, and provided you with many troops and equipment. You may use them as you see fit, but he will offer no direction what precise results he's looking for. Good luck, as the next couple of hours will determine your future within his organization.

As someone who can't play mods right now, are there any objectives, or are you just supposed to break as much stuff ass possible?
So, in game it's a bit hidden (deliberately, per the scenario description).
But:
Pass - Destroy the Power Generators (East)
Pass with Distinction - Destroy all enemy manufacturing facilities (North, East). Almost certainly requires taking over the base to the East first to be able to build reinforcements. (Which also kills power to the North).
Fail - Kill civilians or die
East starts building units when GDI detects the player and throws everything they have at them. North starts building units two minutes after detection, and keeps most of its prebuilt forces home. Both have tib spikes.

Enter:
Mexican Standoff
An informant has revealed that Mondragon has declared independence from Gideon, and that his territory is currently engaged in a civil war as Mondragon purges Gideon's loyalists and consolidates his power. We have a golden opportunity to destroy the local Nod presence and seize valuable harvesting grounds while they are distracted fighting each other. Given the limited window of opportunity, your forces will consist of whoever was immediately available for deployment, and you will need to shepherd them wisely.
Your starting forces are 4 Firehawks, 4 Engineers, 3 Sniper Teams (veteran), 2 Pitbulls, 2 Juggernauts, 2 Mammoths (veteran), a Rig and a Commando. Against you is literally the entirety of Nod's buildable arsenal - they will throw Black Hand and Marked of Kane units at you. But, if you play cautiously and scout before moving, you can rapidly destroy Mondragon and turn your attention across the bridge to Gideon. Gideon is fond of building Redeemers; your railgun armed Mammoths are your best reply. Good luck, Commander!

Hm. I'm trying to picture what that means in practice. Scrintech "civilian augmetics?" What would that look like? My impression is that most of the 'Scrin' stuff we actually saw was effectively remote-controlled drones, and most of it was weaponized?
