Can we finally have Sigyn learn what her magic is and to defend herself this turn?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

She's not our vassal so we dint control her actions, I imagine she's already learned to fight and seeing that shes a woman associated with the royal family could easily learn magic if it intrested her. We dont need to waste AP.
 
[]Company Planet
Martial: +1
-----------
-[] Study: So you could be a great tactician instead? A general even.
-- [] War, DC 70
-- [] Tactics, DC 75
If we are going to play in the big leagues we might need this.

Diplomacy: +1
---------------
-[] Convince Sigyn that she needs to learn how to defend herself/fight. DC 5
-[] Try to talk with Elym. DC 10

Sigyn is a weakness for Loki, I dont want her to be the Lois Lane to Loki's superman. We should talk to Elym as she is also friends with Osmond and can help reign him in if he goes too far.

Stewardship: Choose Three Actions (One is locked in to improve Phoenix Financial) +1
-[] See if you can pay a few retired soldiers to stand guard at Phoenix Financial. DC 15
-[] Strike a second contract with Asgard to receive even more guards. DC 55
-[] Improve Security at Phoenix Financial. DC 60
-[] Buy a...planet? DC ???

We ballooned to quickly and need more security in troops and defenses. The planet is to create natural ground for all nations and a way to get around Odin's rulings like forge magic.
Intrigue: +1
--------------
-[] Use your vast wealth to gain insight on others. (Establish a Spy Network/Rumor Mill). DC ???
-[] Ask the Dwarves about making a weapon similar to Mjolnir for you. DC 60

We need information as a big company, especially when dealing with other governments. I want to go to the dwarfs and see if we can make an amulet that allows for easier stat/skill/trait gain.

Learning:
-[] Have Osmond tutor you/explain his methods and thoughts of science to you. DC 60

This action spends time with Osmaond while increasing our grasp on Science.

Magic: +1
---------
-[] Work with Sigyn to figure out her magic, or if she has it. DC ???
-[] Attempt to utilize raw magic energy. DC 70

Sigyn is Loki's weak point and now that Loki is rich a potential target, best to rectify that while we can. Also we should try raw magic to cover our bases as a magic expert just in case a battle between mages happen.

Personal: Choose Up to Five Actions.
-[] Relationships: Spend time with some of your favorite people in the world!
-- [] The Instructor
-- [] The Trainer
-- [] Hábrók
-[] Ask a character to be a mentor/advisor: Osmond
-[] [] Ask a character to be a mentor/advisor: Sigyn

We have not spoken to the trainer and instructor for a while and we have only spoken to our pet once. Trying to get advisors to increase our AP and our friends are more likely to come with us if we leave.
Other:
-----------
-[] Hear him out
-[] Yes
-[] Accept.


@KnowledgeKing Why is the Odin option gone?
 
[] Preparing for the Age of Loki

We got a lot of new actions. Lets pick the ones to stabilize ourselves and prepare for the really cool ones.

Martial

--[] War, DC 70 x2

Diplomacy
-[] Recruit Assistants. DC 45

--[] On Titan. DC 55
--[] Jotunheim. DC 55
-[] Improve Security at Phoenix Financial. DC 60

Could really use these before establishing our claim on Jotunheim.

Learning
-[] Figure out what REALLY is happening with your hand. DC 100
--[] With Osmond (Primary)
--[] With Sigyn (Secondary)
-[] Have Osmond tutor you/explain his methods and thoughts of science to you. DC 60

Already mentioned this but it's really not a waste of actions when you have a close friend who may be specialized in a magic that you aren't could be really handy especially since they may be able to go a lot further than we ever planned to and if she doesn't want to go further that's fine but if she does that can be really helpful. Also considering that it's an option and that Loki himself is suggesting it seems that she hasn't actually started combat training and it's something we are likely going to need to start pushing for her to even consider it. I mean we spent a lot of actions on our pet and no one was saying that those were a waste of actions.

I feel that we should replace Jotanheim with Alfheim since we already have Alfiheims currency.

I'll replace Vanaheim with Alfhieim, because we already have a Vanaheim branch.

But the reason why I want Jotunheim is to help reduce the DC of subverting their kingdom next turn by having a rumor mill, assassins, a Jotunheim branch, and a "security" army.

Don't really think we have much of an issue with neutrality since most planets aren't hostile towards Asgard and even then the company is separate from the government itself. In fact it would likely be a worse idea since the main benefit of having branches on nations is to avoid the issue of our banks being far too easy a target for attackers since without a nation backing us it would be a lot harder to defend such places. Not o mention we are setting up branches on other existing worlds anyway so a single 'neutral' planet doesn't seem to make sense.

Ok, here's my plan and the reasoning behind it:
  • We want to continue to incorporate magic into our fighting, for one because of the rule-of-cool, and secondly because the binding and enchantment are very useful.
  • Secondly, we want to make peace with Thor; it will be good for us to have him as a full ally rather than as an antagonist or hindrance.
  • Third, becoming a Justice of Asgaurd could be incredibly useful in the future; especially as it builds on our multiple successes with learning the laws.
  • The purchase of a Forge/equipment is perhaps skimming the prohibition that Odin placed on us, but we have enough money that we can hire someone to do the actual forge-work for us.
  • Since we're locked into chosing something for Phoenix Financial, I've selected the lowest DC (though the Kree option is tempting).
  • I figure getting a handle on foreign tech would come into great use later; especially if/when we build a workshop for tech.
  • Magic-wise: it would be prudent to expand on what we've learned, the mixing of magic-schools likely has a lot of potential, and getting Sigyn a handle on any magic she has will likely pay good dividends; inviting her to help on Bifrost will be a good precaution given her talent/interest in healing.

[X] Preparing for the Age of Loki v2

We got a lot of new actions. Lets pick the ones to stabilize ourselves and prepare for the really cool ones, such as Dwarven weapon or alien technology and such.

Martial
-[x] Study: So you could be a great tactician instead? A general even.
--[x] War, DC 70 x2

Diplomacy
-[x] Recruit Assistants. DC 45
--[x] With Sigyn (Primary)
-[x] Convince Sigyn that she needs to learn how to defend herself/fight. DC 5

Assistants can definitely help us out in doing many things, especially expand Phoenix Financial or improve it.

Stewardship
-[x] Build a new Phoenix Financial branch.
--[x] On Titan. DC 55
--[x] Jotunheim. DC 55
-[x] Improve Security at Phoenix Financial. DC 60
-[x] Purchase...an army. DC ???

Making Phoenix Financial stable after the massive expansion last turn.

Intrigue
-[x] Use your vast wealth to gain insight on others. (Establish a Spy Network/Rumor Mill). DC ???
-[x] Maybe more than guards, a being of your wealth needed...insurance. (Establish Assassins/Hitmen). DC ???

I know many people want a weapon from the dwarves, but these two intrigue actions are critical for our self protection as probably the richest man in the universe.

We can get a Dwarven weapon next turn.

@Nystical how about moving away from learning about Loki's heritage to learning about the realms he is establishing new brances in? Their laws for instance.
 
@KnowledgeKing
Is learning Economics or Finance something that Loki can do this turn under the action of "Learn Something New"?


@Nystical
But, why Jotunheim? It seems a step back for a man who can now influence the entire galaxy (though he is just starting at that).
