Oh shit? They're partially Dogmatic? Huh, that's interesting, didn't know that.
I doubt we'll ever step away fully from being a Theocracy, the Star Child worship is too tied to the Glims. I doubt the Shipwrights will fully embrace Star Child worship, but prosetylization is the work of generations.
Who knows.
Oh you're using little blobs now for the four warp tumors instead of the symbols now, neat little change. And the blue line being the barrier between the Machines and the four with the other blue lines being the ones that feed the barrier to keep them safe.
Five-Fold is our number.
Five-Told are our weapons.
Five-Strong is our might.
Five-Gone will be your lures.
Temptation Touches Us Not.
Knowledge Tempts Us Not.
Rage Calls Us Not.
Despair Knows Us Not.
Five Be Thy Number, Child And Progenitor.
Five Be Our Defiance.
Oh wow, I'm guessing its a level 3 song from the text alone. I like the text here as it does come across as the machine spirits saying this themselves. Five Be Our Defiance indeed.
LOL is a group of three playing cards in the back, along with two being lovely dovely, and two on the left making a deal for something? very accurate to classes and how students are.
For Some; The Best Of Times,
For Others; The Worst Of Times,
For All; The Foundation By Which They Live
For None; The End, So We Swear.
haha, okay that's some GREAT text there about how schools and classes. Some love those days, others hated it, but it is the core of things and the foundation they where they build off of and branch out.
Different songs but good enough, now if we can just get Shield against the Influence of the Four and another automata based song we should be good.
and not bad effects for the songs its max leveled for Dutiful Spirits so what we have is what's there. I think its still great since there's no number specified for starting or maintaining the song and that this extends the effect to machines without machine spirits still, even with being half-effect. And Calss is In Session gives a good bonus for Psykana, need about 20 choirs for the max effect but good overall.
Oh so we Dutiful Spirits is indeed fully leveled but we can upgrade Class Is In Session with Wisdom and Innovation up two levels.
Hey, I agree with them, that is progress! and its going to be a long time in making to fully understand it.
Yupppp, three milestone rewards. prepare for the worst.
yah good name for it considering.... oh, its only Void and Medical Milestones? I guess the All X development will be its own then. Whew we avoid the bloodbath by a inch and a day. Lets see what these rewards are.
Oh yah, that is a big thing and upgrade just looking at normal ships and if you have EVER been a part of a Kancolle Quest that lasted a bit you can SEE the people on the thread pulling up documents, schematics, and translated text about the ships, the layout, and placement of everything on a ship and part of another quest when Ironclads were rolling out and how the technology at the time stops you from jumping to turreted guns. So I see why its such upgrade and would allow us to cramp MORE weapons onto our ships then before as I recall we could only stuff so many weapon on a ship before it suffered a debuff due to weapon cramming. Now we can double up or mix in other weapons and save on space!.... just not on DP sadly. Its worth considering.
Ohhhhhhh that's good. Doubles down on our Quality focus and gives us more bang for our buck since our FTL travel limits how many ships that we can take in a fleet. Some of the names here would seem good to grab and focuses on boosting the quality of our ships to be cutting edge. My main worry is the DP cost they need or if it increases the number of actions needed to make a updated Fleet with them included.
Ohhhhhhh, okay, so larger health pool and larger temporary/regenerating Health pool with the Armor and Shields so having it add another level to all design brackets would give us options to upscale some smaller ships and let them be tankier then normal, it is a basic and defensive upgrade but it could be worth it depending on how it goes. I do like the reason being Competition in ship building.
Hahaha, the good ol' 'making my job sound way cooler then it actually is' or in this case being edgy/chunni about it, anti-poop parasite drug' poor guy. this would help a lot with a lot and be a good step to preparing for the warp tumor and the Tyrranids with it being very good and effective across all types of things. Boring but practical and good upgrade.
Oh.... well shit, we already got the Orgyns to be as smart as a... I think 5-7 year old child? so this would be the next step up and does help with cognitive abilities. Honestly good flavor text to this one is good and really about the helping people in this specific area that deal with this, enhancing the baseline intelligence and stopping some problems that could happen with longer lifespans with those using Rejuveant. Still the fact that Orgyns would be as smart as baseline human..... Holy shit that opens up a lot of paths for their employment and QoL, along with how you would deploy them in the military.
Ah yes the Trans-human option of replacing your bodies Cyberpunk style, it is a general increase to everything but... personally I'd prefer either of the other options for the affects. But this is cool as well.
Very much so and I REALLY hope not, which is why I wanted to wait for Warp Observatory but fuck it, we are committed at this point and there's no returning on this. might just be the Slaanesh forces move in force or some other crisis happening or a yet unknown faction coming in on a crusade path. Who knows? hope we manage well.
Also don't tempt fate.
I.... huh, aren't Ogryns bigger then Space Marines? I remember some stuff from the Siege of Vraks how Ogryn with power tools beat back the Kreigers after the crater and how they couldn't do that off with the Red Scorpions since the Space Marines could use experience and skill to beat back the Orgyns.... so imagining Ogryns that have the same intelligence of Baseline humans and able to learn and grow.. I wouldn't doubt they might be able to fight a Space marine. It really depends on if we give them the Power Armor.
Oh shit, that... that's good and it feels worth it. Seriously imagine a Heavy Cruiser that normally goes at 4G to suddenly go 8G out of nowhere! sadly not as good for Battleships that I assume would top out at 2 or 3G but still a good surprise. It depends on how much it costs and how we build Cruisers and up. Holy shit I can't even imagine how that would affect the Lamenters stuff for their Bloody Midnight (or was it Sunrise?) Light Cruisers.
Nooooo! not the Harlequins! we don't want the clowns and to be left with more questions then answers.
Thats-
Yah, basically Alectai. like I get why you CAN do 30x Light Macro Guns and how it would be point defense which... fair with missles and torpedo's you do want those point defense and you can stack a LOT more in the hulls then lower ship classes. So in addition to the Triple Revolving Spinal lance and Super-Heavy Plasma Macro-Cannons they had enough for 40 1 DP guns? damn that's absurd but good. I'm guessing either all weapons on that Battleship or Faction trait for shipbuilding. and I see what that trait for weapon cramming can do with THAT much on a battleship.
Indeed, a Joint union with a peer is vastly differently than absorbing a smaller power. and with this we should take note of sizes of other powers.
PEOPLE CAN'T READ! or they don't read the thread often and at the spots where I mention that it is a Write-in for the Lords of eternity, I will blame the last five or so turns because of the focus on developments and getting to all X but I have mentioned Absorbing the Lords of Eternity since they are close that point and it was a write in we could do. But noppe, because it cost an action we couldn't do without QM confirming it was worth it and we could do.
After this, we honored the agreement and desire to do Development and got the reward for it, I want to focus on Military and Diplomacy after the next turn to build up for facing the Cult and absorb the Black Ash and Lords of Eternity and expand, any other development can wait a few turns and while I WANT to do more pyskana with songs and melodies, I'll let it lie for now before pushing for it again in a few turns down the line.
Fracking Mollusk. oh course the majority of the cultists would be that group. Oh well we got rid of them so all is good.

I did hesitate before putting them under enemy. We've managed to crack the ice with them and I don't see them attacking us unless something changes. I just worry that while they're peaceful now, they'll be a source of problems soon enough, as either:
1. They finish fighting who they're fighting now and turn their attention towards us as the next conquest target.
2. They get eaten by 'nids and the nids come towards us.
3. They break out into chaos cults and the chaos comes towards us.
I could easily see a scenario where we catch genestealer cultists filtering in from van Zandt (since we've put in some write-ins to try and prevent that from happening) and then have a conundrum about what to do about that. Or they win the current wars, the leadership decides we're a conquest target, and then we have a Bad Time.
I agree. We've played the whole game as 5/5 Iconoclast, and I don't think I want to pivot away from it. Unfortunately I'm not sure how that's going to go down. We'll see. I hope the impending threat of Chaos and the fact that their psyker tradition was inherited from ours makes it a lot easier.
@Weaving_Dreamer, the reason for why we didn't was because:
1. HeroCooky said that the Watchtower's were colonizing the two systems in between us and the Lords of Eternity and we didn't (and still don't) have open borders with them.
2. At the time (I think) we didn't have the upgraded FTL travel song that would allow us to keep in regular contact with the Lords. We essentially were told 'later, when you have the capabilities and have diplo-ed the other neighbor'. Then we got distracted and very busy...

We can always hit the Confederacy with
[] ISC Access - (Lords of Eternity/Watchtower Confederacy/Shipwright's Grove)
The Federation's ISCs are eager to spread their markets and customer bases beyond the Glimmering Federation, willing to brave the (relatively safe and profitable) unknown.
(Gain: Disables one random ISC per Turn and significantly improves relations with the Lords of Eternity/Watchtower Confederacy/Shipwright's Grove.)
And get that significant relations improvement. That should open a ton of doors

True, and we should try our best to absorb the other minor powers in our region before we fuse with S.G, it would be more equal partnership then how overmatched we are in terms of size.

Putting actual actions in the Duel of Fates would speed it along. After the next turn(provided we do the research spam) I think the plan is to just go as hard as possible expanding.
I think this more or less confirms that while Slaanesh cult is the biggest threat we could very well end up fighting a war on two fronts against the Nurgle cult on top of the Slaanesh cult.
Like, we really need to go absorb the Lords of Eternity damn quick and put actions into the duels so that we take over faster.
We've basically built as tall as we reasonably can we really need to expand or we are fucked.
Fair enough, at this point we should just do a write to allow us to move ships and supplies through those two systems and get started already.
Agreed, absorb Lords of Eternity and start expanding south of them while we spend an action or two per turn to speed up the Black ash duels, after that we continue on the Watchtower Confederacy and continue expanding south.... yah that's all we can do, once we take Black Ash we're bordering the Sub-sector Nurgle and Khrone are fighting the independents there along with one and half subsector to take from Independents?
Besides the south ward expansion from the Lords Of Eternity position? we can only grow by Joint Union with the Shipwrights, pushing through the Dutchy, or go south east and fight the Khrone and Nurgle cults after we absorb LoE and BAA.

Zero. POINT. Zero, zero, zero, four three percent. Of your entire Three Point Two TRILLION Strong population. Even if you only took the 2 Trillion population number last given, they'd still be ludicrously small Cults! And they were found via a Song that specifically looks at psychic means of evading detection or fuckery via fate-manipulation, divination, and prophecy usage. You scraped the bedrock underneath the barrel to get those Cultists out.
There are currently more Thules in your nation than there were Chaos Cultists. Heck, I am pretty certain there are more Thules into Yeeni than there were Chaos Cultists! Your furries outnumber Chaos!
No, you are right on the money. When you had the Peace Treaty, I even specifically pointed out several ways in which you could give their Iconos a win to further their goals or lead them to make a break-away state from the main Duchy.
Yeah, most of what you could do is basically a Free Action at this point, as you have a pretty deeply entrenched spy-network in the bordering Sub-Sectors.
My suggestions basically boil down to "Get into contact with the Iconos, exchange favorable terms in trading with them leading the negotiations, gift them some tech, share some psykana insights, share maps, mutually end the DMZ, etc."

Voting for this since I believe it's gonna save us a Medical Services headache when the time comes for absorbing our neighbors. Even though smart Ogryn in power armor is cool as fuckkkk. Painful choice.

I'd say more like... Community, Love, Creativity, Perception, Love.
And yes, @Weaving_Dreamer, I am going to make this an official Song. 🦊

Well, sounds like a good write-in option in the next turn then! Free action to figure out what's what with Van Zandt and then have preferential trade and resources with the Reformists / Iconos.
Anything else is up to the thread, but also gifting stuff like the Chik-An and after this research rush some last last last last gen military tech and some more current medical technology shouldn't be too big of an ask, imo
Thanks for answering!
