Is he going to be a wight then?
That's interesting. That still doesn't say why it's forbidden though. I assume its because of the whole 'dont muck about with souls' and stuff, but he decides against it because he's worried about backlash.
Yea and I'm not sure why. He's a mighty kiing sure, and he's got that special premium mummy wraps, but why does he have 5 attacks for example? He's just a dude, he's known as a king, he's not abborash or someone.
Interested in what you mean by this, yes you certainly do need such things, you have no assassins for example, and less capacity to occupy territory like the Guard do.
To be fair, some people have been already tracking such things. Notably Aghilies with his coordinating role, but also the Djinncallers and Skaven. The Djinncallers have flown off and I've yet to decide where they've gone, so presumably they'd be able to inform people when they get to whereever they're going.
Eh, I could if you want me to.
I can't actually remember now when I look back over it. Presumably something but I agree it's not overly humerous so not sure?
You killed some dark elves, then nuked teh ship, prompting an advantageous war for them, which sort of balanced out the destruction of their western coast, but they don't necessarily know it was you. The envoys comparably were high elves, who did indeed leave alive. Some high elves might have gotten kileld as abhumans during teh conquest of araby, and then D'leh's squad blew up a ship leading some embargo-breakers a coupel of chapters ago.
Because he's a loot hoarder just like he's a title hoarder. His long list of titles includes at least 4 weapons and a chariot:
There's precedent on tabletop for units getting a second attack by equipping more weapons, Settra escalates that to a ludicrous degree like he escalates so much else.
In the terry pratxhett book about an Egyptian king there's a coronation ceremony and it's all very serious 'oh yes take this the sacred plate of something and this magic hat' and the joke is that the seneschal is finding difficulty actually finding space for all the sacred things so he just starts hookimg stuff wherever he can and so the young Prince falls over with the great weight of his vestments
Actually, with Settra being such a hoarder, maybe he takes Amra's head and tells the priests "figure out how he spitted acid" and adds that to his panoply too, attaching it to the pauldron on the other shoulder.
XD That's OP. Beastman chariots did that in their last DLC
It's hard to say how I want an unknown system to look, or what numbers I need when I don't know what numbers are going to be relevant. But I would suggest you look over at Ithillid's GDI Planquest for some inspiration, which started with vague +/- resource trackers compared to "enough", measuring production relative to (desired) consumption rather than a stockpiled amount:
It was kind of a general statement. Shock and awe's run dry and we're not really clever to make up for it. We've got a wide array of infrastructural advantages from tech knowledge and general population stats, but until we find a way to balance growth with casualties it's going nowhere fast.

It's demonstrative so doesn't cover everything. For example it establishes a broad principle that a plasmagun is four times as comlicated to make as a bolter. Then I can fiddle with the numbers in particular circumstances, so lets say a meltagun is 25% more complicated than a plasmagun, I can just do the plasmagun cost*1.25 calculation to get the new number.
I thought about including or not including certain people but decided to keep them in. Yes it's true that the apothecaries wouldn't be building stuff, but they could be doing medical things or fabricating hospital equipment, that sort of thing.
Depends on the specifics. It could be yes, but it's anything that's 'not local', so maybe a single building, a single large object, a single facility, that sort of thing.
Depends on the circumstance, in this instance there's a choice to be made by players, so in a bit you'll decide in the thread about what to do about that particular issue. You don't have enough armour to fit them all, but for exampel you could make mk5 armour which is cruder, and get them equipped sooner.
It's partly for me ot explore the system in general and how to run a ck2 style quest so yes aware, but good to have that feedback anyway
Some stuff will be discounted or free for various reasons. Because you purchased the manufacturing capacities earlier the admech can get a certain amount of stuff out of boxes. They don't have to build a pipe making machine or something, they've got a lot of machines where they are. They don't have all the machines and some they only have a few of, but they have the tools to make the tools, so something like that could potentially be discounted significantly because they're just setting such a thing up.
