We will be quite busy with all other people; while would love to adopt Iyandeen to the adoptionist side, I think it will depend too much on how exactly they will react to our news about the very nature of Eldar souls and gods' blessings.
actually, Iyanden needs allies rather than aid, so with the right approach and our successful addition of Stel-Uit and Our new average craftworld would have made us a fairly strong power block. add in the possibility of becoming the greatest Adaptionist world as a stop gap to rebuilding the Revanchist cause free of taint at a later date, and we'd have had a decent chance to bring them into our faction, no cost to us besides maintaining a pretence of answering to them later on.
however we missed that chance. it's not something we can do with the way we handled things. we spent day one meeting with the people who benefit the most from our discovery and would be most interested in collaboration with barely any ground work, instead of the people who needed effort to convince of our value or the necessity of shifting their cause in a new direction. no time now. we also missed a chance to recruit more independents by not canvasing them day one instead. oh well. two craft worlds and whichever of the adaptionists switch to our camp is good enough.
- Kher-Ys and Muirgaythh: Will probably require escorts to get to us and then seer and seeker AP to help with their projects and maybe BAP for better defences
- Survivalists and "widespread and regular cooperation between the Craftworlds on critical matters", definitely will cost us seer, seeker and bonesinger AP
- Stel-Uit and Lal'c-Tann fair same as Kher-Ys and Muirgaythh in the escorts + bonsinger AP department
- Nacretinei and Stel'iy-Rann, Started a motherducking quest line, and probably will have us be the ones who will have displasuere of discovering that Drukhari survived, so everything, including stewardship warning that commoragh still lives and that it is bad news
Kuir and Muir do not need to necessarily come to us, nor would they need escorts given they are each worlds with their own supporters they can coordinate with for safety. these are the people who will be nominal, though possibly distant, allies, just for our advice on curse related info.
we don't need to commit much in the way effort to be on good terms with them, nor are they likely to come under Daemon threat this century, as chaos is infighting according to the QM and their likely secure in the short term if their not among the survivalists. we are already there hero for validating the factions stance on post fall Aeldari state of being.
we've agreed to provide aid, and will be majorly in this factions favor just for arranging the moot and our work on the curse, both of which benefit there two primary causes. we aren't going to able to provide much aid anyway until we have Webway routes to their general region from the Halo Stars in the northern rim, and with the previously mentioned conditions, just cheap fleet repairs would suffice. the current batch of Quilan ships likely completes before they send a batch our way.
regardless, we have 3 variable AP outside of our arrangement with Arach-qin and turn 5 enhance industry to spare, more every turn to follow. that can more than cover Stel-Uit.
Lal'c Tann is apparently a crit success at recruiting to the point where we may not need to do anything, indicating either them being in our region and signing up do to the ease of cooperation by proximity, or they were leaning Adaptionist and joined us as the largest Adaptionist coalition.
Nacretinei and Stel'iy-Rann is a quest line, but it's a quest line worth the seer and Scout fleets we commit to it, given it possibly ends with us recruiting 4 more craft worlds.
The problem with stuff liek Void Cannons, is that I doubt anyone will be willing to let it slip that they have them.
Not with rumours going around of Biel-Tan looking to nab everyone's stuff.
yeah. we don't want to be that guy right now. after we demonstrate our chops to the entiee Aeldmoot as Aeldari hero's is. a better angle.
I'm strongly in favor of looking for void cannons now. We will be, indeed, in a better negotiation position after the moot but:
- we don't know who to negotiate with and must spend an action to try to find out
- post moot actions will be too valuable for this
So the time is now.
no, people have reason to doubt the intention of people inquiring about their personal fall shinies. once we have the cred is a good time.
post Aeldmoot we our focuses are on meeting with adaptionists and survivalists and Harlequins. it's more likely that the Survivalists, given the minimum four points they have on any other starting location, have exotics than other people, and we have defensive tech they'll want anyways. their going to be very interested in a long-term relationship with us, so we can afford to wait on this.
Recovering the Talismans of Void so they don't fall into enemy hands asap is probably a good idea through. If we know about them it should be something we propose at the main conference.
chaos is occupied with infighting and has expended it's energies arranging the fall. they can wait a bit for us to map Webway routes to the region in question.
