Pick one, I personally prefer Cathedral-Forge since AdMech actions are much more precious.

Again, same issue.

You should also double down on trade talk actions, we don't have anything else to use double down on those years and it cost essentially nothing, but it can prevent vasting an action due to bad rolls.

Age: 35, rejuved to 25

M: 16+4(7)=20(23)- While not trained in anything much beyond small unit tactics Jacob has show a talent for these, and has been an very effective leader for his squad.
I: 20+11=31- Jacob has inherited his mothers talents for stealth, and has proven to be a decent spy master as well according to Jane. You are not sure that instructing him to set up a spy network in his high school was a good idea but it seems to have been a good training exercise.
A: 13+2=15- Jacob is a decent administrator who is able to easily handle the organisational needs for his squad without taking much time away from his other activities.
L: 18+6=24- Jacob is highly intelligent and incredibly well educated, though he often downplays this unless necessary.
P: 17+11=31- Jacob has an iron-clad belief in humanity and a level of willpower almsot unheard of for his age, outside of Saints and Psykers anyway.
D: 17+2=19- Jacob is a charming young man who is able to interact with people from all walks of life with equal ease. This is demonstrated by the number of close friends that he has developed over his short life.
C: 21+25=48 Jacob is his mothers son when it comes to combat, being considered among Avernus' best blades despite his youth.
(50/7+2.5=9.5)
Genius of the Blade (+5C, +50 to melee rolls, more likely to gain swordsmanship traits)- Jacob Oakheart has a natural talent for the blade that no amount of training or experience can mimic, a talent that allowed him to kill an Ammut Crocodile with a dagger at the age of five.
Heir of Oakheart (+1M, +4I, +2P, +4C, far less likely to die)- Jacob Oakheart was raised by Arbitrator Jane Oakheart, the greatest swordsman on Avernus and the Founder of the Oakheart School of Swordsmanship. As such he was subjected to a level of training that would have broken a lesser man for a major portion of his life.

Veteran Psyker Hunter (+1M, +3I, +2L, +3P, +4C, +10 to all rolls against psykers)- Jacob Oakheart is a Veteran Psyker Hunter, trained to hunt down and kill all but the most powerful of the rogue Psykers of Avernus.
Adamantine Will (+4P, +1C, less likely to die, +50 to resist mental effects, no penalties from injuries)- Jacob Oakheart has a level of willpower rarely seen outside of the greatest of psykers, which allow him to continue fighting with grievous wounds and shrug off many mental attacks.
Master of the Oakheart Style- (+2I, +2P, +5C, +50 to all melee rolls)- Jacob Oakheart is the youngest ever master of the Oakheart Style, possibly the most deadly martial art in the Imperial Trust. Martial Art designed for humans anyway.
An Interesting Education (+4L, +4C, +2 to all other stats)- Jacob Oakheart has had an interesting education, ranging from the normal for a member of the Avernite upper class to the strange, excessive and often crazy teachings of his mother and her colleagues. This has given him a wide range of skills and knowledge, including some that it is impossible for him to use.
Push Past your Limits (+1P, +2C, more liekly to gain traits)- Jacob Oakheart believes that you should always strive to push beyond your current limits in order to improve, and he trains in a manner that demonstrates this.
Avernite Survivor (+2C)- By surviving several decades of life on Avernus Jacob has proven himself to be a skilled warrior.
Team Leader (+3M when commanding platoon size units or smaller, +15 unit morale when commanding platoon sized units or smaller)- In his time in the Psyker Hunters Jacob Oakheart has become highly skilled at leading small groups in the face of seemingly impossible odd, though his leadership style does not scale up well.

Jacob Oakheart is the adopted son of Arbitrator Jane Oakheart and is in effect your only nephew. He first came to his mothers attention at the age of five when he killed an Ammut Crocodile with a dagger, a feat that would be considered impressive for a fully trained adult. After being adopted he proved to be exactly the right type of son for Jane, able to not only keep up with the near torture she considers training but to enjoy it.

Jacob had an interesting childhood, as his mother alternated between having him attend some of the best schools on Avernus and either teaching him herself or having some of her friends and colleagues instruct him. This has somehow resulted in both a well adjusted young man and one with an wide range of skills and knowledge. You are still not sure why Ridcully had him learn the theoretical basics of each of the psychic disciplines however, he has no psychic talent to speak of.

After graduating Jacob attended the Psyker Hunter Academy, where he set records in a range of topics and graduated at the top of his class. He then joined the Psyker Hunters at the age of twenty-two, one of the youngest on records. Jacob quickly distinguished himself and became both the youngest Veteran Psyker Hunter on record and the youngest Psyker Hunter Sergeant on record. However he first rose above the pack at the age of thirty three when he singlehandedly killed Rob Vörös, a Beta-level Diviner/Telepath that his squad stumbled across. While this victory was mostly a result of luck it still demonstrated the sheer level of skill in combat that he has, and earned him a promotion to the rank of Elite Pysker Hunter, at under half the normal age.

In person Jacob is a friendly well adjusted young man, though he raises several alarm bells for the average Avernite. This is mostly because he is to calm and confident, and lacks the nervous twitch that almsot every Avernite that reaches adulthood develops. This has actually led to him being considered a offworlder by many, at least until they see his unconsciously killing spiders. Instead many consider him an elder, as usually only the oldest and most skilled Avernites develop the natural combat readiness that he displays.

Hey @Durin Jacob is missing 2 Piety and 2 Combat from his traits.

M +1+1 +2 (+3) = +4(7)
I +4+3 +2+2 = +11
A +2 = +2
L +2 +4 = +6
P +2+3+4+2+2+1 = +13
D +2 = +2
C +5+4+4+1+5+4+2+2 = +27

EDIT: As in, the totals are right but not the modifier displayed before them.

Actually, no it doesn't. We'd only be making 65 billion metal a turn, and Forge-Hive expansions cost 72.5 billion metal each. I'm going to remove that trade entirely because of that.

We will still have flippin 400 billion metal in reserve, it's more than enough to to expand all the lunar forgehive and still have more than half left. Other resources will be the limiting factors, not metal.

True. I just worry we're going to have something else with a huge metal cost thrown at us, and we'll end up burning through that, though since you're the one pointing this out I suppose that might be unfounded.

also once you expand Erecura or Belisama there will be mine exp anion options that provide 38 bill a year each

I think you should swap Ace Pilot Academy and Expand Helguard.

Mostly this improves our flexibility to react to unexpected events.

Otherwise,

Not affordable with the Helltrooper Expansion also being done. AM costs are too high. It'll have to wait until next turn, after which our AM budget should go up due to the new Forge level being finished.
 
as a note on the relic blade for Jacob, I will remind you that in the past you considered giving Jane the Black Crystal Blade only to find that she was too settled into her style, if you wanted you could give it to Jacob instead

I am not suggestion that you should do this just making it clear that it is an option before you make a decision
 
@Durin, I have some questions:
1) Shouldn't the new Lin's trait have "-10% to cultist numbers, -5% to cultist numbers for the Imperial Trust" instead of "-10% cultist numbers for the Imperial trust"(-5% to cultists numbers from two traits that for some reason wrongly both called "Beacon Of Faith" in the update, and a -5% for entire Trust from Reformer)?
Durin said:
Saint Lin combines trait Beacon of Faith (+2D, +3P, -5% to cultists numbers), Reformer (+1A, +1L, +3P, +1 Morale for the Imperial Trust, -5% cultist numbers for the Imperial trust), Beacon of Faith (+1P, -5% Cultist numbers, double effect of peaching on cult numbers) and Scholar of Faiths (+5L, more likely to know about other religions) into trait Living Symbol of Faith (+1A, +10L, +2D, +7P, +1 Morale for the Imperial Trust, -10% cultist numbers for the Imperial trust, double effect of peaching on cult numbers, more likely to know about other religions)- Saint Lin is a living symbol of the New Imperial Truth and the fact that the Emperor is dead but not gone. His utter faith and deep understanding of religion is an example to humans everywhere.

2) How much time we have to buy Jacob a new sword?
3) Back before Emperor's death, how fast was the Tau FTL travel?
4) Would Void Abacuses be a boon to it?
5) If their FTL is good, would Ridcully be able to scry on Tau(or Imperium Secundus, if they copied it) shipyards to help us create our own sub-warp engines?
6) If Ultramarines did it, would copying their engines be much more acceptable than copying it from Tau directly?

Huh
I'm not against giving Jacob the BCB, he'd get more use out of it than Rotbart would.

Nah, I want to keep it for Rotbart. I've never really considered giving it to anyone else, because all the black crystal shinies are part of our regalia.
