Preliminary plan:
[] Plan: Beans, Bullets, and Bandages
-[] Light Industry
--[] Pharmaceuticals Plant (+2 Reputation) (Bonus: + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +3 Total)
The Pharma plant is there because it's got positive rep and it help with healthcare so we can take advantage of those juicy boni.
--[] Medical Imaging Plant (-1 Rep) (Bonus: +2 Electronics + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +5 Total)
X-rays and ultrasound machines are both very useful non-invasive medical imaging systems that are well understood, stand to benefit from Mingxiang's electronics focus, and will help with our healthcare situation. At -1 rep, it's a steal.
[] Agri-, And Aquaculture
--[] Expand Crop Breeding Programs (Medicinal) (+4 Reputation) (Helpful) (Bonus: 1 PttF = + 2 Focus +1 TffF = +3 Total)
Originally this was gonna be a Mosquito eradication program, but we could really, really use the positive rep gain and I checked with HC that we can use it to breed better medicinal plants and pharmacological precursors. Also the idea of us breeding better weed for medicinal CBD is deeply funny.
--[] Vaccination Campaign (Disease) (Extremely Helpful)
---[] Domestic Production And Doctors (-5 Reputation) (Bonus: + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +3 Total)
Second verse same as the first. Thankfully it's gotten cheaper since last time.
-[] Political
--[] Found Department of Public Health (-4 Reputation) (-8 People's Opinion) (Bonus: + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +3 Total)
It's on our list of promises. It's not too expensive, and we should do it while we have that +2 Focus bonus.
[] Secret Projects
-[] Develop Native Supercomputer (Mega-Project - 3/3 Actions) (-8 Reputation) (-6 People's Opinion) (Bonus: +2 Electronics + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +5 Total)
The -8 Rep is an ouchie, but we really need to do this earlier rather than later to reap the benefits and.
-[] CyPac
--[] Industrial Aid - (Mongolia, Iraq, Tanzania) (FREE ACTION) (Bonus: 1 PttF = +1 Total)
--[] Famine Relief - Mali (URGENT) (Bonus: 1 PttF = +1 Total)
--[] Military Intervention - Iran (Optional: Volunteer Forces) (+1 Reputation) (Bonus: 1 PttF = +1 Total)
We promised industrial aid, famine relief is just the right thing to do, and I went with Iran because it's just more strategically important than Benin - we'll send them stuff next turn. A sparse crop of Rep from CyPac this turn, but there's nothing to be done about it.
