Before I post the update, could you give me a list of the confirmed members of the new netsphere? Is it 6? I'm realizing I'm not sure if I've tracked everyone down
Before I post the update, could you give me a list of the confirmed members of the new netsphere? Is it 6? I'm realizing I'm not sure if I've tracked everyone down
Actually it's just a ball at the moment where heads of the minor houses will meet to discuss our plans ic in secret as at one side we have SteelWriter77, Silversun17 and me who are for unification and on other we have Paroni, Chopak and Terra who are interested but didn't say anything , then there is @bioticgrunt who is the member of current netsphere but didn't say will he attend the ball, @Daskter is for the unification and Salbazier didn't say anything on the matter.
You can post update and we will hash out what we wish to do and in wich direction to go at the ball.
Edit: Uhtread said he won't come at the ball and that are all houses that were active for last couple of turns, mcclay didn't post for a while so i won't count him.
The conflict between House Zion and House Dorn has subsided, and now, something new begins to gather.
For the lesser Houses are starting to resent the machinations of their Patrons. A new way of doing things may be on the horizon...
(Raphael Lacoste)
Your head hurts. It's a natural byproduct of splitting your consciousness into so many alter-selves, but you have to remain vigilant. Your real body is still on your asteroid base, tucked away in a metal cylinder. The alter-self you're primarily focused on is an elite model, nearly identical to an actual sapien body. It rests in a hover-pod that streaks across a crowded skyline.
Nothing has gone as planned. What you thought would be a series of wars; O'Rourik and Terra, Zion and Dorn, have fizzled out as quickly as they started. The Patron Houses attempted to throw the region into conflict, but now....
Now you think the lesser Houses are about to do the unthinkable.
These thoughts cloud your mind as you step out of the hover-pod. You're on House Zion's Throne World, a massive planet with a variety of strange rock formations inter-spaced by lush, fertile valleys. On the main continent is the capital, a circular mega-city rising up into the clouds. These skyscrapers and super-towers are behind you as you take in a different sight; House Zion's palaces.
There are other ships present. You are attending another ball, but this one is nothing like House Terang-Bulan's. The ships that arrive are geared towards speed, as well as discretion. The people who get off them are cloaked in all manner of finery. Their identities are obscured behind gilded masks.
You wear a mask as well, in addition to your own fine cloak. This is not so much a costume ball, as a meeting of secret intent.
The stone pathway you walk down is lined with statues and servants. Large columns rise up around you, sectioning off gardens and pools. The meeting palace looms ahead.
It's one of the more elegant ones you've seen. The architectural style is a bit of Old Earth mixed with High Ukerissan, but you only know that from the mountains of prepwork you did before your mission. At the base of the palace is a grand stairway, also lined with servants. The other attendees sweep up the steps ahead of you, their cloaks trailing behind them. You lower your head and adjust your mask as you follow.
At the top is a large archway. Galatan script adorns it, but your assist A.I's can't quite make out the translation. You pass underneath, then hear a familiar voice.
"Why hellooooo!"
You turn, spotting a woman in flowing cloaks and a thin mask held up by a stick. She smiles at you, and instantly recognize her; Lady Coletta.
"I was hoping to see you here," She says, holding out her arm. You take it, walking side by side under the archway with the other attendees.
You mention the war between House Delapierre and House Volantia. You offer your condolences, having heard of the most recent attacks made by House Delapierre, and wonder at Lady Coletta's safety. The noblewoman puts a gloved hand to her mouth and laughs.
"Oh aren't you cute. House Volantia will endure in some form or another, no matter how many systems House Delapierre razes," The pair of you enter the palace. The large archways are dark, lit only by servants standing along the wall. The servants hold up golden lanterns, the pools of light leading you and Lady Coletta onward. "Yes," She says, holding her mask to her face with her free hand. "I personally ensured Duchess Marie and her husband were whisked to safety, as for the rest of the family, they can burn for all I care,"
You inquire as to whether Lady Coletta herself is a member of House Volantia. Lady Coletta tilts her head slightly with a smile.
"Yes and no. I will always serve the Volantia family first and foremost. But these days, my talents are needed elsewhere,"
You furrow your brow behind your own mask, and ask what exactly it is Lady Coletta does.
"I'm a noblewoman, am I not?" Lady Coletta says, taking the lead. "I told you I have to know everyone and everything,"
The two of you emerge into a ballroom that spans out as far as the eye can see in any direction. The ceiling is relatively low, though arched, and gives the ballroom the impression of a gilded forest.
There are many cloaked people already present. Servants rush about, offering anything anyone could want. You lean in and ask if everyone who was at the last ball is present at this one.
"There's a few absent," Lady Coletta says, glancing around at the attendees through her mask. "House O'Rourik and House Delapierre are the notable ones. It will certainly be interesting to see what happens here with those present,"
You agree, but confess you're a little out of the loop. Lady Coletta makes an amused sound, then leads you towards a gathering of people.
"Why, with your profession I thought you might have figured it out. It's why you're here after all," She glances back at you, but you shrug. "It's simple darling, they want to build an independent netsphere for their wealth,"
You inquire as to the relationship between the Greater and Lesser Houses, and ask if the Greater Houses will be angered.
"Oh yes, tremendously," Lady Coletta says, waving at someone she sees. "The last thing they need is House Atractus reappearing under a new name. So they'll likely retaliate most severely. But nothing's set in stone yet,"
You digest this information as Lady Coletta reaches the group of nobles.
What follows is a strange mixture of hushed conversations and orchestral music. The servants continue to serve everyone, but your mind is elsewhere. Quite literally, as you're happy to let Lady Coletta talk as you manage your alter-selves. When she breaks away, you follow.
You ask her to explain more about the possible new netsphere. She dismisses the notion with a wave, mentioning you both should get drinks. You persist, and she sighs.
"Well, there's the unifiers," Lady Coletta says, motioning with a gloved hand at a group of cloaked figures. "House Zion, House Teztel and House Dorn. They all have considerable wealth and power now, and are loath to rise or fall at the whim of their patron houses,"
You clarify, asking if the unifiers want a new netsphere. Lady Coletta shoots you a coy glance.
"Oh they want far more than that darling,"
You clarify again, asking about House Zion and Dorn having just been at war. Lady Coletta snorts, waving at another group of people.
"Keep up darling, that's last cycle's news. It's a big sector and there's even more beyond that. Besides, haven't you been listening to the theme of the night," The noblewoman presents the gilded, arched ceilings. "Unity and prosperity!"
You mention the Great Houses are more than a match for the Lesser.
"Perhaps," Lady Coletta says, smiling. She takes your hand and leads you onward. "But you might be surprised what a war between the groups would look like," She puts a gloved hand to her mouth. "But I bore myself with talk of war, come, I see another fine group,"
You let her walk you forward, grimacing behind the mask as one of your alter-selves goes on high alert. You try and manage it as you ask Lady Coletta about the other lesser houses in relation to the Unifiers.
"Hmm, well there you can see House Louhi, and over there is House Terra. They have yet to commit either way. But House Darkridge is among the other Unifiers, though I don't see anyone from their house here....hmm, no, they must not be attending,"
You ask about House Terang-Bulan. Lady Coletta gives you a seemingly-bored shrug. "Who can say what they'll do. One can only guess,"
You wince again as your high-alert alter-self flees millions of lightyears away. You excuse yourself from Lady Coletta, promising you'll return.
Elsewhere
Drakha drop-ships plummeted through the sky. The inhabitants of the colony-dome Yakana watched as more and more drop-ships punctured the clouds. The ground shook as the ships hit the earth. The inhabitants of the dome grew nervous as a dust cloud rose up into the air, obscuring the world outside the glass.
Prince Amil Louhi watched from his personal drop ship as Drakhan sorcerers led cabalist towards Yakana. The sorcerers sped across the wastes like black shrouds of mist. They wielded red curu-blades, which flashed in the dustclouds. Prince Amil turned away from the viewport. Standing behind him was Lieutenant Cadman, as well as Xan, the Drakhan warrior.
"Take us down," Prince Amil said. "And get me my armor,"
Drakhan disciples draped in black cloaks rushed around the prince. They affixed a breastplate to him, then gauntlets. Lieutenant Cadman watched alongside Xan as the disciples worked.
"So you're going down there yourself," Lieutenant Cadman said.
In response, Prince Amil held out his hand. Two disciples bore a red curu-blade, presenting it atop a cloth. Amil took the blade, running his finger along the ridge.
"That's a yes then," Lieutenant Cadman said. "Just be careful, there's no need to get yourself killed,"
"I'm not sure I can die," Prince Amil said, his voice a disinterested whisper. He continued to inspect his blade as the disciples lowered a helm over his head.
"No need to test it,"
Prince Amil flexed his completed suit of armor, then turned to the officer. "Know your place lieutenant, and leave me to my work,"
The floor opened up beneath Prince Amil, and he dropped down like a stone. The air whistled around him as the ground raced up. He landed among the dust clouds, shaking the earth. The prince straightened up.
He could see the flashes of other red curu-blades. He drifted across the wastes towards a large, glass dome. An explosion shook the ground, and the dome began to collapse.
Prince Amil emerged from the dust. The dome colony of Yakana waited before him. Its protective dome lay in pieces around it. Waited near the edge of the colony were cabalists and sorcerers. They turned to Prince Amil as he approached.
The sounds drifting out of Yakana sounded frantic. But the Drakhan waited silently until Prince Amil reached them. He slowed, then pointed his curu-blade at the colony.
"Bring me the enemies of Mother's love,"
The sorcerers raised their blades, their cloaks billowing in the wind. With a mighty roar the Drakhan charged inside, intent on slaughter and conversion.

@Lop those five above are the members that I know of.

Warning: Outside market forces are utilizing various economic means to severely depress the Orion's Arm local Markets. This is likely the doing of the Great Houses, as they share a netsphere with the former House Atractus territories.

@Lop in case of this raid i had a defense Grids build in system 5,6,7,8,11,12 on top of system 5 having a bunch of soldiers in it, while systems 24,25,26,27 and 30 had troops stationed in them, so shouldn't those Grids and troops defend those systems and i should had throw far larger number of dices than those three as i had some form of defense in all of my systems?
Not to mention that i retreated from system 17 and didn't have any industry there.
(If you are using number of industries for raids then i will say that in that case raid on system 27 couldn't produce 6 R's as system only has one industry, if you are going by the old system then ignore this)
And i believe that Chopak (house Delapierre) said that he will attend the party .

IC: While most guests at the ball were enjoying themselves , made new acquaintanceships and business in private chambers of one of many Zion palaces meting was taking place, but it was not any meeting, but meeting between six heads of minor houses from Orion Arm.
Heads of house Dorn,Tetzel,Terra,Louhi,Delapierre and of course the host of the meeting head of house Zion.
Now you may wonder how come they are at the ball while being in the palace at the same time, well answer is simple they had members from their houses pose as them,it was masquerade after all, to avoid curious eyes and gossipers. Certain Lady Coletta from House Volantia comes to lord Zion's mind.
But back at the topic. Lord Zion decided to break the silence and speak "Dear Lords of respective houses of Orion Arm, I'm pretty sure that you are all aware of current situation inside of sector and there is i would say rivalry between us. But as you are all aware as long as we fight we will never amount to anything else but pawns in the games of the powerful and dance according to their whims, our subjects subverted to horrors of never ending war while longing for prosperity and safety former house Atractus offered all the while we invest more and more of our resources to war instead of betterment of our subjects life's, a war that ultimately will not change nothing and is only meant to maintain status quo. As such i called you all here to propose a possibility of stopping this senseless struggle and prospect of peaceful unification." Lord Zion finished speaking and waited to see a response from other House Heads.
And @Lop officially this is just a masquerade, i didn't really go and told everyone that we are going to form netsphere (or am i advocating for unification publicly for all to see) and even if we agree to a prospect of peaceful unification or alliance netsphere will maybe still be far off until we are ready to have a go at Great Houses. Now we are just checking the ground and if we agree devising plan on how to go about this
@Lop in case of this raid i had a defense Grids build in system 5,6,7,8,11,12 on top of system 5 having a bunch of soldiers in it, while systems 24,25,26,27 and 30 had troops stationed in them, so shouldn't those Grids and troops defend those systems and i should had throw far larger number of dices than those three as i had some form of defense in all of my systems?

Thank you, in an hour or two I'm going to edit my post the station forces feature, because I desperately need a way to know who has forces where, and how many as the turns change

You probably have a better idea, but here is a suggestion anyway, just to make sure that you can focus on writing instead of mechanics.
This setup only has you do the following manually: inputting the orders and rolls, evaluating industry changes after combat, and reporting the results to players. Everything else comes out automatically, unless you want to do it manually.
A basic setup:
Data Tables (Excel sheets, Arrays with your preferred language, whatevs):
1. Orders, by House.
2. Previous cycle forces after resolving, by system.
3. Current cycle forces before resolving, by system.
4. Current cycle forces involved in combat, by combat.
5. Rolls, by combat.
6. Current cycle forces after resolving, by system.
7. Losses and combat results, by House.
Work Per Cycle: Manual filling:
-Player order input -> 1. Orders. (This could be almost fully automatic as well, if player order input was reliably structured. That's a fool's hope though, so its better to just do this by hand. Remember to mark the force's Owner, which system the force is in, where it is coming from, if it is doing attack or raiding, and which player it will target if any.)
-Player rolls -> 5. Rolls.
-7. Losses and combat results, by House. -> Industry losses and gains, by House (Could do this automatically, but that requires you to keep track of industries as well. Probably easier to just look at the combat results and declare any industry changes manually.)
Automatic filling:
-1. Orders -> 3. Current cycle before resolving (Just iterate through the orders and copy forces to the right systems.)
-3. Current cycle forces before resolving, by system. -> 4. Current cycle forces involved in combat, by combat. (Iterate through the forces in systems. If forces in system are attacking or raiding someone, both defender and attacker forces in the system are copied to table 4. (combat))
-4. Current cycle forces involved in combat.; 5. Rolls, by combat. -> 7. Losses and combat results, by House. (Some code here to resolve the fights, and to calculate R gained or lost in fights)
-3. Current cycle forces before resolving, by system.; 7. Losses and combat results, by House. -> 6. Current cycle forces after resolving, by system. (Some code here to correctly place forces according to combat results)
That's it. Show at least tables 1, (6), and 7 (and industry losses/gains) to players, and the cycle's work is done.
I know all this is very basics, but maybe it saves you some work, as a plan to check your own idea against if nothing else. It also a very hurried work, so caution in implementing required.
Real question here is how much did i lost as for one system 17 literally wasn't in my possession on top of other things and i don't intend to pay it up, and as said before i had troops stationed across the every system that doesn't have defense grids.
You probably have a better idea, but here is a suggestion anyway, just to make sure that you can focus on writing instead of mechanics.
This setup only has you do the following manually: inputting the orders and rolls, evaluating industry changes after combat, and reporting the results to players. Everything else comes out automatically, unless you want to do it manually.
A basic setup:
Data Tables (Excel sheets, Arrays with your preferred language, whatevs):
1. Orders, by House.
2. Previous cycle forces after resolving, by system.
3. Current cycle forces before resolving, by system.
4. Current cycle forces involved in combat, by combat.
5. Rolls, by combat.
6. Current cycle forces after resolving, by system.
7. Losses and combat results, by House.
Work Per Cycle: Manual filling:
-Player order input -> 1. Orders. (This could be almost fully automatic as well, if player order input was reliably structured. That's a fool's hope though, so its better to just do this by hand. Remember to mark the force's Owner, which system the force is in, where it is coming from, if it is doing attack or raiding, and which player it will target if any.)
-Player rolls -> 5. Rolls.
-7. Losses and combat results, by House. -> Industry losses and gains, by House (Could do this automatically, but that requires you to keep track of industries as well. Probably easier to just look at the combat results and declare any industry changes manually.)
Automatic filling:
-1. Orders -> 3. Current cycle before resolving (Just iterate through the orders and copy forces to the right systems.)
-3. Current cycle forces before resolving, by system. -> 4. Current cycle forces involved in combat, by combat. (Iterate through the forces in systems. If forces in system are attacking or raiding someone, both defender and attacker forces in the system are copied to table 4. (combat))
-4. Current cycle forces involved in combat.; 5. Rolls, by combat. -> 7. Losses and combat results, by House. (Some code here to resolve the fights, and to calculate R gained or lost in fights)
-3. Current cycle forces before resolving, by system.; 7. Losses and combat results, by House. -> 6. Current cycle forces after resolving, by system. (Some code here to correctly place forces according to combat results)
That's it. Show at least tables 1, (6), and 7 (and industry losses/gains) to players, and the cycle's work is done.
I know all this is very basics, but maybe it saves you some work, as a plan to check your own idea against if nothing else. It also a very hurried work, so caution in implementing required.

I like those charts, I'll have to look into google's version of them and see how work-intensive they are.
As for Star, if you had soldiers stationed on all raided systems, or at least a defense grid, then I'll null your income and troop loss, though I'll allow House Louhi to keep their raided funds since I'm having trouble keeping track of everyone's stationing. Worse comes to worse, I'll come up with a system where players post some numerical code to indicate to me what systems have forces stationed in them, and which don't. Something I can quick reference and isn't to complicated for players to add to their posts, and then I can selectively choose what I'm searching for when I'm making updates. This should also help me ask for the correct number of dice from each player

In my case it's really simple, where and wich of my forces were stationed was in my orders all along.
Those that weren't in the order were in system 5 where they were before.
Basically my advice would be to keep where we station our forces in our stats and only change them when we change the orders.
Like with defense Grids , basically just go at my stats and you'll see where all defense Grids are located under military assets.
IC: While most guests at the ball were enjoying themselves , made new acquaintanceships and business in private chambers of one of many Zion palaces meting was taking place, but it was not any meeting, but meeting between six heads of minor houses from Orion Arm.
Heads of house Dorn,Tetzel,Terra,Louhi,Delapierre and of course the host of the meeting head of house Zion.
Now you may wonder how come they are at the ball while being in the palace at the same time, well answer is simple they had members from their houses pose as them,it was masquerade after all, to avoid curious eyes and gossipers. Certain Lady Coletta from House Volantia comes to lord Zion's mind.
But back at the topic. Lord Zion decided to break the silence and speak "Dear Lords of respective houses of Orion Arm, I'm pretty sure that you are all aware of current situation inside of sector and there is i would say rivalry between us. But as you are all aware as long as we fight we will never amount to anything else but pawns in the games of the powerful and dance according to their whims, our subjects subverted to horrors of never ending war while longing for prosperity and safety former house Atractus offered all the while we invest more and more of our resources to war instead of betterment of our subjects life's, a war that ultimately will not change nothing and is only meant to maintain status quo. As such i called you all here to propose a possibility of stopping this senseless struggle and prospect of peaceful unification." Lord Zion finished speaking and waited to see a response from other House Heads.
"Depending on the terms... House Terra would be agreeable to this effort. We are already limiting our raiding tot he bare minimal to satisfy *grimace* our first patron. we are already working along a similar line of thought, though we are still unsure of it's full viability." He pauses for a second "We should not rush into this matter. You have not seen what our Patrons can bring against us, and it would only be their distrust between them that would limit it. If our threat, or their ire, exceeds that... We have no hope to stand against that right now."
