Mastery of the Elysium Domain grant access to wards and bindings capable of enforcing peace upon limited areas While these cannot be used to protect combattants-such wards are proof even against indiscrimate attacks as long as the peaceful reside within them.

I dunno, but for some reason the idea of maximizing our defense appeals to me (also maybe a latent desire to go against the grain). I'm happy if Peace, earth, and MAGIC is voted though!

I can see three possibilities here:
- He's either aligned himself with the Imperium and so he's probably going to be the penultimate boss (the final one I'm assuming is the Enity-On-the-Throne).
- He's fucked off somewhere and is living in exile out of frustration with all the damm humans fucking everything up because they always do cause NO ONE CAN DO ANYTHING RIGHT SINCE SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, ITS NOT THAT HARD TO JUST DO YOUR DAMMED JOBS!!!! (
actual fucking with his Aeldar waifu optional) - He's dead, possibly because he attempted some form of coup or rebellion and since the Imperium is not in the middle of another Hersey (yet) it failed (somehow). Or he just died in the intervening time period for unrelated reasons.

Sorcery means that all our hero actions (and possibly manpower? unsure there.) can critfail, as opposed to Elevation meaning that any action without Connection (or whichever domain is chosen) naturally involved can critfail... but Elevation also gives a +10 boost to the action.
We're already hitting the "life" button on every action possible. Adding "connection" to that doesn't seem that bad when it's already part of 90% or so of our actions.
Yes, but that is a matter of human error, not self-reinforcing narrative on actions that have no connections to it, . Elevation does not have the word tragic in it for nothing.

It would be a real tragedy yet totally in character for Big E to have decimated Ultramar and the 500 worlds because of the risk of secession. The Ultra Marines and their successors would have been scattered to the furthest reaches of the Imperium or face a total purge. Appropriately grimdark given the Emperor's fondness for bluntforce solutions.

Well. That happened.
Some thoughts on our options:
Overall I am in favor of Earth right now, with Sun having the second place.
-Death: ...interesting option. Having core domains of both life and death is sure to combine into something very interesting. And powerful indeed. Cycle of life? Rebirth? Evolution? Probably wouldn't make us popular with humans though. I would probably want more info as to what this might result into before voting for it, but it does warrant some serious thought I think. Remember what we paid for having the Death domain available at all, there is sure to be something major here.
-Weaving: Solving every problem with new biotech would probably creep people out. Consider all the actions that we did where Weaving was not applicable and what forcing it in anyway would do. Heavy synergy with our core domain of Life though.
-Connection: Now this is promising. If I remember correctly of all of our associated domains this one was in demand the most, with great many actions being eligible for it. Can't think of actions that were not eligible for Connection that would suffer much from forcing it in. Downside, might turn our cult into something a bit hive mind-y. Which I have nothing against but would creep humans out I think. Or it could just result in telepathy/mental internet. Overall I think that it is well worth the risk and downsides I can think of, and Warhammer being Warhammer the galaxy could really use people just talking to and understanding each other. See how we have "won" against the Space Marines for example.
-Endurance: Forcing this into every action can't end well I really dont think. Would make us/our cult too stubborn, perhaps too Nurglish in reliance on enduring stuff it seems to me.
-Harvest: I have, concerns, as to how this would express itself in actions that involve, say, just talking to people or something. Not a fan.
Overall Elevation-Connection seems very nice indeed to me, and -Death seems like it has massive, if concerning, potential.
So my current preference is:
[] Earth:
[] Elevation - Connection
Checking the vote tally for plans... Huh. People really like Elysium. And Expansion is overwhelmingly popular. Will catch up with posts before voting.
Some thoughts on our options:
Should allows for living cities, fortresses, factories, fortifications, etc as well as terraforming and massive biomatter production. Which would be immensely useful as garden worlds are valuable and those nearby probably already settled by the Imperium, and with our biotech we can't exactly live productively in sealed domes on frozen balls of methane or lava or something I think. Seems very useful.
Weather control is nice, but, eh, does not seem all that valuable to me? Compared to the other options. Seems like it would have strategic scale combat use, maybe terraforming, and some boost to agriculture and stuff. Also does not seem very close to our core domain of Life.
Power generation, guns, engines. Definitely useful.
Very interesting but entirely combat specialized, and does not help win those encounters any either. I would very much like to take it in time, but we need growth right now.
Overall I am in favor of Earth right now, with Sun having the second place.
Interesting! Adds a token to all actions, but sometimes even to those that would be better off without... Lets see how this would interact with our current domains:
-Death: ...interesting option. Having core domains of both life and death is sure to combine into something very interesting. And powerful indeed. Cycle of life? Rebirth? Evolution? Probably wouldn't make us popular with humans though. I would probably want more info as to what this might result into before voting for it, but it does warrant some serious thought I think.

Overall Elevation-Connection seems very nice indeed to me, and -Death seems like it has massive, if concerning, potential.
Our Domains make us who we are, I would be very wary of just taking on new one randomly. But if this is desired lets do it later when we are stronger and stuff like two more domains of our choice is worth much less.
A great boost to our growth rate and short term survival I think. Besides the Domains offered in the update, we have also been offered Sorcery and Guardian before. If we take this, I say we take Sun and one other, Elysium perhaps. Or Weather because it seems like it would combo well with Earth, and further boost terraforming. However, compared to the the other options offered in this vote domains are much easier to come by.
So my current preference is:
[] Earth:
[] Elevation - Connection

It is actually, entirely non-combat specialized. Within the zone of Elysium, violence, and the simplification of human relations that it allows, is not a thing that can occur. People will have to talk out their issues, will have to compromise, will have to respect each other. Because no one can force anyone do do something they don't want to in a zone of Elysium.

No, it means there cannot be actions without Connection. Even if something really shouldn't have Connection, it will. We would no longer have the ability to choose not to use it.

You're saying the same thing as @notgreat. We will shove Connection in to everything, including things where it doesn't really belong. This can cause critfails on those actions.

Back on the narrative of the latest update, just noticed that Alectai was being a bit cheeky about how he was gonna end the update:
And I still didn't catch what he was planning until it was already happening. All I can say to this is just well played, Alectai. Well played.
Beware of Sorcery however, which basically nullifies the safety net of guaranteed partial success on all actions with heroes
Whereas Elevation nullifies it on actions without natural Connection.
Given the foes arrayed against us I'll take that trade and gladly. We are going to need literal miracles to survive, more than the VM can personally provide, what we do not need is to turn into a hive mind that will have people screaming about genestealers.
