Now ultron issue comes from thinking he can create perfection
You can specialize but it always comes to a cost (muscleis takes awau agility,hardness takes away the ability to soften blows because all the energy ia directly trasnfered) and so on
Mankind isnt much different
We arent designed to deal with high scale society but rather we are tribalistic (small groups of a dozen to a thousandish)
Best way to counter this is to automatize administration as much possible and create political pressure valves so you dont get a resistance/rebellion scenario
>direct democracy where candidates are veoted by ultron to ensure they pass minimal skill and integrity standards?
>market socialism or decentralized planned economy with high degree automatization
>gradual introduction of transhumanism
>softpower rather than hard one
Also dealing with civil war conflicts involves a process of forgiving and forget (aka warlords stop figthing at the promise they will be allowed to return to civilian life)

because people resist and in a universe with actively superpowered individuals thats a dangerous thing
tighten the leash too much and mankind fights back
hydra was right on that matter
support from the governed lead to long term stability
a mixed government model where ultron vetoes stupid ideas and filter who can participate on the government but otherwise keep democratic mechanism would work well while being a lot less tyranical than other models
dont let perfection get in the way of doing a good job
I will return home in a week after getting my last wage; tell the Elders so I can shop around for things we need. Did the money I sent you pay the protection fee for the spears, or did you need to collect more in the village? The others are a bit worried; nobody called back yesterday.
Anyways, I put another round into him after he continued to scream. Honestly, ruined my appetite for the gazelle the bastard had poached from our lands, but the meat got me a big sum of money at the market. So, not a bad day after all! But how's it with you, heard you
The new batch got delivered by Snowking, and he requested help loading it up for transport over the border. Had to bust my ass getting all those bags onto the truck. Whichever joker said powder is light can meet my boot the next time they switch shifts with me.
Nahla turned eight months today and has already begun talking in sentences! She is so intelligent!

Several miscellaneous pieces of electronics, from transistors to cables of all kinds. Send a message for more information and payment. I accept meat, milk, eggs, fruit, vegetables, and herbal remedies as payment. No cash.
Tibebu - Internal Video Recording of his Villa said:
The new guy on the south is doing something, and I don't like that at all. I like it far less that he came into my lands and killed Kahsai with the flick of a wrist. Get out there and remind him why we are the law around here, and not some drugged-up mutie like that!
Mr.Smith - International Phonecall into the Capital said:
This situation in the south has gone on for long enough. Either eliminate this upstart or bring him onto our side, the possibility of damage to our interests has the Board asking increasingly pointed questions.
"-and thank you for your patronage. If you ever need anything else, feel free to call again. I am certain I'll be able to find whatever you need in stock," Ulysses Klau says in his parting call, all the while you observe the trainers of the Pack of Silver PMC you had hired start to familiarize your "Spears" in the use and maintenance of modern equipment.
And you mean that. Whatever fault Warlords may have, they didn't skimp on the military gear. Planes, Tanks, and Boats may be lacking, but body armor, modern rifles, electronics, IFVs, and so much more? That they got the best off of in massive quantities from China, Russia, the US, and a dozen other countries are making bank by selling as middlemen.
At the very least, you'll have a force of (somewhat) more effective soldiers at your command in the coming weeks and months, particularly against any incursions into "your" territory. So now you only need to find a suitable power source, and you can really start bringing this country under your guidance and fixing things up.

@HeroCooky remind me, but we don't have a set amount of actions but our focus gets diluted the more actions we take lessening their chances of success correct? And how would will it take for the Spears to upgrade?

You have no idea how to reproduce that miracle of science. For that, you would've needed to have chosen the tools, rather than the CRADLE. But hey, at least you have infinite money thanks to it!

About half the Sons will be held as mobile QRFs in locations with decent response times to multiple villages and move out to reinforce any village that comes under attack as quickly as possible.
Here is plan. I could be convinced to drop the response to the incursions, but the other stuff says.
Works for me, and the incursion is definetly something we need to deal with though I fear you are stretching the Sons of Sol too thin. There can't be too many of them.
Changing vote. Martenzo has a point that we shoudl solidify control first.
