Ugh. Sadly I don't think we have the Slann to spare to research other methods of dealing with the Ayacmanik this turn, or other ways of handling the Mind Fog.

@Xantalos

What exactly are the differences between Purge and Sniff? We were certainly purging with Sniff last turn, for example. Is it a matter of scale, one being really close, the other in a temple-city's area of influence, so to speak?

Well last turn we had
3 Third Generation Slann
12 Fourth Generation Slann
29 Fifth Generation Slann

So we have 6 fewer 4th but 20 more 5th. Next turn we will have a higher web level which will amongst other things boost research
 
@Xantalos

Could Kroq-Gar make up for a lack of architectural learning with raw experience and sublime knowledge of military matters, including defensive positioning and allocation of fortifications, for the purpose of setting up fortifications?
 

You have spotted my shitty reference, conngratulations!

You only drove out one small colony for research purposes last turn. Purge is basically taking however many forces you assign and destroying every Ayacmanik within a few hundred miles or so.
 
So hold off on the mind fog for the moment, and most likely sniff out for more parasites before we purge. Also, we might need to purge before trying to align the cities together in the geomantic web.

Edit,: fixed intolerable spelling mistakes. Also, the autocorrect is acting out.

Tehenhauin would, in lore and TT, be hilarious with Slann support. Transformation of Kadon, suddenly a dragon is going about stirring the little jungle swarms to action with snakes everywhere and poison flying and magic coming from it.

Mother's mind fog?

If we do get the spawning pools things will be VERY intresting, especially if we manage to get things done faster as well as laying foundations for more cities, and thus expanding the geometric web...

Will you take a omake Xantalos?

Eh, not so much that he'd get a particular bonus at actions doing it or anything - oh, you're talking about the new action I put in probably. He'd be okay at doing that, yeah, though probably better paired with a city action than on his own since that represents him getting skink support and such.

I'm always up for accepting fanwork!
 
So question @Xantalos since the Ayacmanik are essentially an entire species with one soul essentially split into identical copies of itself...would it be possible to do a magical attack aligned with that soul to Murder Death Kill any Ayacmanik within a massive radius?

Geomantic Web guys.

I see, so he wouldn't bring a coterie of Skinks along automatically as part of the minimal required support force Heroes (appear) to act with?
 
I feel that our priorities should be Geomantjc Web > Mind Fog research > sniff out > spawning pools. In case I don't get the chance to vote again though:
[X] BungieONI
 
If we aligned all the cities and upgraded to two actions a turn, we could implement whatever plan we would otherwise have implemented this turn as well as a whole other set of four actions next turn.

He would have auxiliaries and such if just him is assigned, but he's less likely to run into interruptions if he has city support. The jungle's still hazardous.

That'd probably be within the purview of a geomantic ritual, and they'd know it was coming thanks to the necessary setup phase, but it's possible.

Hmmm upgrading the cities and expanding Dino pens sounds good. As well as insure our exotic beasties can breed and grow in number!
 
Should we consider assigning Slaan rulers soon? If we are going to be increasing the number of our actions from next turn, having those actions be more effective seems like an obvious synergy.
 
Oh hey an update right after I wake up. Nice.

[X] Plan Spawning is Urgent.
-[X] Align Cities: Hexoatl, Xlanhuapec, Tlaxtla, Awanabil'tat at Itza.
-[X] Dinosaur Accommodations: Itza.
-[X] Dinosaur Accommodations, Exotic Edition: Itza: 5 Fifth Generation Slann
-[X] Sniff Them Out: Itza with Kroq-Gar, Hexoatl with Teninhuan and Chakax, Xlanhuapec with Tiqtak'to, 6 Fifth Generation Slann.
-[X] Examine Spawning Pools: Mazdamundi, 3 Third Generation Slann, 6 Fourth Generation Slann, 38 Fifth Generation Slann.

So basic idea is simple here. Align all the cities, get the regular and exotic Dino Pens up in Itza, Sniff Out all the local Nests with our military heros, while EVERYTHING ELSE goes into Spawning Pools. I don't think even this is enough to finish it completely but we should be atleast 1/3rd of the way through with this kind of set up.

No we asked about that before. Assigning a Slann Ruler is having a Slann make a City uniquely their own, like Mazdamundi is with Hexoatl, so it's dumb to try and assign them now since they could just fall into The Slumber next turn, which....basically makes it impossible for them to actually rule.

It's an action we should take after the Mind Fog is gone.
 
Well, with Forging Districts being Very Hard, it's not getting any effort from us this turn for sure.

@Nix's Warden

We could really probably do to examine the Central Continent with a couple of 5th gens, for finding the entirety of the Ayacmanik presence and any goodies.

Beyond that, which is just iffy: change Awanabil'tat to making dinosaur accomodations wth the Slann, to increase chances of him getting a mount of his own, and put Itza on its own alignment, and you've got my vote. Though I'll never pushing for more Mind Fog work next turn. I see no reason to be afraid.


@Xantalos
What exactly is the end result behind "Sacred Sites" as far as we know? What is it meant to achieve, basically?

And can you tell us, IC, if Awanabil'tat can handle dinosaur acclimation for a single-Temple-City?

  • What is the research difficulty for basic body armor in the tablets.
  • What is the research difficulty for range weaponry in the tablets.
