Sadly spray painting Warp Spiders bright pastel patterns and selling them as tourist novelties is unlikely to bring in meaningful returns. Sadly.

I don't really buy this argument. First, nobody has ever charged interest on the loans given out in this quest. Second, getting into debt is fine here. The worlds are willing to let eachother have big debts because trade keeps the worlds working, and worlds working means a better survival chance.
Debt is more likely to be used as leverage for political favors, and given our debt is primarily to people we're allied with that's not really all that big of a problem.
Signe is our Administratum head. It's saying that she chooses which cities to upgrade.

[X] Plan Nurgle T111
I do want us to consider having Lin watch over Ridcully when he goes to look at the tzeetchian super weapon (I am not sure how likely this worst case scenario is to happen so I'm not pushing it...........but if it does its horrendous. so I want us to think about it)
I will also state that part of the reason that I'm voting for this one is cas we DONT need more super solders... yes its a concern that we might lose it somewhat for not expanding it. but we already win every ground battle. I am concerned about other types of battles. such as fleet battles, hero battles and WMDs
also. even if we go with the idea that Ridcully should not transcend. we still need to learn about it to even hypothetically stop it.
(although I suspect such a thing would involve getting ridcully to act in a different way. to stop him from being precieved as the blind seer guy)

Durin said after a 1.5 million credits we have to start paying interest. He brought it up the last High council meeting. While I agree in buying as much AM and Em as possible I believe we need to figure how much we can trade for and it get into too deep with other powers.
Just so I'm clear this is the Phoenix Gunship you want to implement right?
Yes I will specify that
While I want to work on expanding our Helguard right now between you divining Armageddon and giving the Trust a new anti titan tool.....

There are a couple major problems with Plan Nurgle. It opts out of warning Eldrad about Vect's deal because "we shouldn't bother him too much" despite how massively important that information is. That is a mindbogglingly bad evaluation of the situation. He also wants to divine Armaggedon for some reason, despite the fact that knowing about the Orks as a whole - how many high-level Waaaghs there are in particular - would make it a lot easier for us to convince the High Council of some of our proposals.
EDIT: It also has us talking about stealth and reactor implementation, even though that's the domain of the Mechanicus and the Mechanicus alone. To ask about that, it sacrifices asking about the rather important topic of giving alien tech to Avernite civilisations, which would be something that the rest of the Trust actually has a say in.

Last I saw, there were 100 t3 Waaghs, and 3 t4

That's OOC knowledge. We need to find out about that IC to use it as an argument at the High Council.

@Enjou, I think you should use Greater Divination instead. We don't really need the extra +20% chance of success that Divination gives us. Using Greater Divination spares us an action, which I think we should use to divine the leader of the Princedom himself. Best case scenario is we get his True Name, which makes killing or banishing him a lot easier.

We want to tell him about something that will massively boost Slaanesh's power and about a full, unsharded Star God. If ever there were things we should tell him about, it should be those things. Your evaluation that those are not sufficiently important to tell him about is wrong.
Furthermore, I object to your usage of "keep". That implies we often contact him, and that that's why we shouldn't tell him about two extremely important galactic-scale events, even though we've never contacted him at all.

As long as it includes the proverbial phone number with a sultry 'for a good time, call...' preface, delegation should be possible. He may be the most important mortal-ish thing in the galaxy right now, but I'm sure he has other people to handle the details.
Even if he needs to make sure you aren't the thing about to end the galaxy.

After reading the quest a few days ago could have sworn we already looked at the relationship between Avernus and the other planets listed. Unless I'm mistaken that just seems like wastes of actions. Also isn't it about time we started looking into expanding into other regions? It has been a while afterall.
We can only use a total of three Greater Divinations in a given turn, including the free one.

Enjou,
* You have an Aria slot free (After her Mentoring: Alpha). Mentoring (Beta) wouold be perfect there.
* I would motion we try to spend more time with Saint Lin, particularly since he's going to die soon. Not necessarily in this turn, but in the coming ones. (Also with Ridcully, bcus he's most important character.)
Other than that, it seems alright.

Actually, Durin has implemented Interest Rate, but the amount is quite low.

@Enjou Didn't we already look into the relationship between Avernus and the two planets you have listed for the diplomacy actions?
On a different note is there a reason we are spending a ton of resources expanding hives? They take forever to fill and if any of our cities are in danger of being filled we can just have some of the population in said cities moved to one of the nearby hives. Just seem awefully wasteful and inefficient to expand a bunch of cities into hives when we don't really need to and it seems like it would be impractical. Seems like it would be more practical to just expand into a new region since that comes with tons of benefits even if it is a bit costly in the short term.

there are a few things i'm not sure about for nurgls plan. sounding out about tech stuff seems wrong. it's admech thing, so i'm not sure if it's appropriate for us to talk to other worlds about it. I'm also not sure about contacting eldrad before the high council meeting, espically for warnings that he likly knows. We should at least ask about a easier way to get in touch with his people.

I'm apathetic regarding that but it would be nice if you followed andres's suggestion regarding Eldrad.
Naw, while it is an admech thing it's also something that directly effects military and industry and therefore seems like a valid question to me.
