Hmmm, I just realized, we can cut Shipwrights Grove of at Griffany and from there go South and cut off the Diaconate there. That and Alatre's home can be easily attainable frontlines that can be backfilled later to keep the action count down while we are killing Stagelight.

Also @Alectai, @Neablis I just noticed, but Temple ships should really be something we pay attention to the holy number's thing. I really don't want us to have 9 Temple Ships while a Tzeentch cult is mucking around out of sight.

We've only got 5 combat-geared temple ships. I figure we send 5 ships at a time and then it's fine if we have 4 mucking around back at home solving civil disputes.

Shouldn't we turn off the Lament Symphony? It's turned on but I don't think any big battles are going on.

War against Slaanesh is still going on.

Anyway, more worked-out plan:

[] Plan: Seizing the Strategic Position
-[-] [General] Integrate The New Territories (4/17)
-[] [Free] Consecrate In Sacred Sand (Write-In Sub-Sector)
-[] [Free] Choirs are good. No changes.
-[] [General] Colonize (Sub-Sector) x3 (2 actions + mechadendrite action)
--[] Long Tower & the two sub-sectors past it, to close the Saliant against the Diaconate. As such:

-[] [General] Integrate The New Territories (5/17) (Cry for the Future Action)

This not only cuts them off in their expansion, it also gives us more strategic depth. And with the size of our SDFs & the fortification initiative we did way back in the day that matters. Every system is well-fortified and protected and will be a damned difficult nut to crack. We can fight a defensive war until we've finished digesting our new territory, and then we'll be ready to take the fight to them.

We can expand more easily by taking Griffanny and the border sub-sector. This also ignores the fact they are/will soon attack Grove so we should send at least some reinforcements there

Also sidenote but where is counter of our free choirs, I need it to see if we can get some of songs to 555 instead of just 500

If that Cry action is a flex one, have you considered Profilozof's "ask the star child a question about the Diaconate" one? Might be worth doing before we start chucking infiltration against them and such.

Could we get an action to research Sigils? Seems like a major upgrade we should really try to get.

I think we'll aim for that when we do a general research turn — I think we want to grab ground vehicles and that as well as a flex research slot I think. If we dump our actions into research we ought to get 4 actions and then a flex one from cry which can be another 2 research or a single of anything else (or a 2 in Psykana)

I am going to sleep, basic idea is that Diaconate is dangerous as such state could only exist as chaos cult, but it isn't one from PoV of our folks, so we should ask starchild about it so maybe they can help us avoid some of the traps such state could have (like mindcontrol). As for symphony, I am willing to drop it (I am not sure if I counted actions correctly) for military action to reinforce Grove from the inevitable attack of those idiots or integrating new territories/getting Griffanny. so feel free to alter this plan for that, I am going to sleep.

I would suggest that instead of what you are proposing we instead do the top left unnamed sub-sector that you have circled; the one above it (Griffanny) to block the Shipwrights Grove from eating that whole area and Alatre's Home down near the bottom of the Sector to prevent the Diaconate from accessing a bunch more sub sectors. Then, next turn we go for even more colonizing, backfilling the two other sub sectors that you circled and the one below the circle to link up with Alatre's Home.

Good ideas. Changes made.
 
We might be able to get more out of the Ask the Star Child action if we word it better. Perhaps something along the lines of "- and if it's warp shenanigans how to we counter it best?". That might get us some actionable intelligence/warnings.

well just read about our new..."Friends" and all i can say is that yeah, there is something to the idea of another Shard of the Emperor having something to do with how they are even able to function, at least in terms of a military force, killing all your surviving soldiers after they fight something is not contusive to long term expansion, even with Human wave tactics.

Do i think it's the big main Dead God of Tyranny Big E on Terra exploded into, probably not, we'd more then likely see a whole lot less humanity in what these folks are using. so probably either just uber corrupt priest Psykers or a Shard.
