Something tells me the Lightwing is going to become the Merchant's guild nightmare. After all, anyone who can pay can own one, and the ton of freight means they can trade a little bit even if they are not traders.
Anyone want to bet how long before someone use the Lightwing for smuggling?

This happened on the other side of the empire iirc. So no hunting for us.

Not with that attitude
Damn, hilarious overkill. Probably finished more than half of Animal Medicines Investigated, too.
I think this is the first time we got any Oddity Successes?
Politics, extremists, or a cult/White Forest?
There's going to be a ton of art about airships and the berths, huh?
Express shipping, go!
Things seem to go well, even if there are some depressing things to think about.
I'm not sure why, but I have the sneaking suspicion people are outraged at the attack on the Princess.

Hang on. Didn't you specify that the 100 mark means the start of a new tier for calculating successes? As such, we should have just 15 successes on the dot.
Okay, your math is completely in contradiction to the stated bonuses. It's 50+325 = 375, which means 3 more successes and it's completed.
Fully powered armored and Knights? Not exactly the move of someone without resources.

Nevertheless, Broom Closet A3 was also where Silvia liked to stay when she needed to escape, be it from emotions or responsibilities. Just her, sitting in a small room of no significance, with nobody able to disturb her, or the familiar smells and sensations of her room intruding upon her solitude.
Given that she was hiding within Broom Closet A3 for nearly five hours at this point, Markus was worried enough to intrude upon her solitude. So, taking a last steadying breath, he opened the door.
...
"Crrrk," Crinkle crinkled' from within the room, his large face prominently in the center of his now-erupting crystalline fur due to his large body filling the door and room beyond.
"Crrrk yourself, you big loaf," Markus retorted with a roll of his eyes and a scratch on the cat's head, pushing himself against the oversized feline as he attempted to find out where the gaps were to slide into the room beyond. Crinkle was never willing to squeeze himself into a small, dark, and cramped room without Silvia being in the same, and then he basically refused to emerge unless forced to by her.
"Murrck?" Crinkle asked with a rumble as Markus deftly navigated through the mass of fur and cat into the room beyond, the door getting closed by his feet as he began to feel around with blind eyes.
"Mrrk," Markus confirmed, in that way that people often did when they talked to animals with sounds vaguely understood to mean something close to what they intended to say. Nonetheless, ignoring any Markus-Crinkle communication attempts happening, the young man finally found what he had been looking for: a rack of antlers pressing against the fur and now his hands.
So, with a sigh of relief and some more minutes of wiggling around, Markus eventually managed to not-so-gracefully flop himself somewhat next to Silvia, her massive tail acting as a deliberate barrier between the two of them, and, even in the darkness of the closet, managed to still exist as a hole in reality with how black it was.
"...go away," Silvia eventually muttered after several moments, not shifting from her spot as Markus began to try and sit himself down, even with nearly a ton of feline in the way.
"You know, you could have asked that seven minutes ago. Now I would need to scrabble out again, and I don't think Crinkle will make that any easier," Markus replied softly, using a free hand to poke her in the shoulder. "Now, could the brave, noble girl tell her pilot in a shiny knight why she is alone in a dark room with nothing but an oversized cat keeping her company? At the very least, you could have asked me to mope with you," he added, sneaking an arm around her shoulder before pressing her against himself. Her antlers made that a bit awkward, but she offered no resistance and scooted over as she moved her tail to wrap around the two of them instead of being a barrier between each other.
"...my birthday is in less than a season," she eventually muttered weakly, reluctantly. "You know what that means."
"That I get to ask you for a dance only for your graceful nature to leave me looking like a fool?" He asked playfully, receiving a bonk by her antlers in return. Fair. "You will be an adult by law?" He ventured after a moment, and Silvia's tail constricted around the two of them for a moment. At that moment, a small glimmer of light emerged from its fur, brilliant shimmers in the colors of gold, amber, moss, bone, and blood shining in their infinite stellar constellations within her fur, a tail-shaped hole in reality given light and galaxies for a brief and fragile moment filled with beauty.
"I will be asked if I want eyes," she replied instead, clenching her hands as she began to shake.
"Ah." There was no need to say another word. Besides, what could he have said? Reassurances? Opinions? Philosophies? Silvia had never known anything but an existence without sight, and the possibility of seeing...it scared her. It excited her. It terrified her. It turned a mind of joy and grace into a mess of emotions she could not give voice to. It always had whenever the two of them had talked about or around the topic when they both were old enough to understand what it meant.
After all, she was Silvia Jr. of House Dall, the only daughter of Martyris and Selene Dall, one the founder of an entire Religion that was using its influence to lift hundreds, thousands of people from abject poverty and deprivations with every passing year, the other the founder of a new noble lineage whose inheritor she was and whose crucible she would serve as a mother. In one hand she was a girl born into privilege; in the other, a Mutated that had risen far above any station others would tolerate her in if it weren't for her claiming it by right of birth.
And here she was. In a dark, cramped closet. Surrounded by a ton of feline and a noble scion holding her, silent shivers of lament rumbling through her body as she feared a future where she would be given eyes of masterwork artifice explicitly crafted for her so that she would see the world as all others did. Only to contend with the idea to refuse, to stay as she was.
All the while, thousands of others would never be as lucky as she.
Change like that was terrifying, and she had no idea how her father had so readily thrown himself into it, and she knew, she knew, that to refuse was the height of insult to all those who could not see.
Yet, here she was. Not a girl turning into a young woman about to reach her second decade and yet to reach her prime, but instead, a small girl hiding in a closet, forced to contend with a choice that would decide the rest of her life, no matter that it could always be reversed at any point in the future.
And as Silvia began to fear, fret, regretful, and disgusted with herself, she sat in a small room, joined by her furry brother, followed by her boyfriend Markus when she had no more tears of silent torment and emotions beyond knowing to shed.
Only to be held by Markus, who could offer no words beyond a shoulder and his warmth.
It was the best he could give right now.
The only thing she could accept.
Dossier On Conclave of Faya
The Conclave of Faya is, by number and influence, a relatively small sect of once-tribals that settled within the borders of Tessen to shelter against the dangers of the Wastes when their tribe was no longer able to resist them after one too many strings of bad luck. Numbering slightly below ten thousand people, their numbers are slowly rising with each decade, new births overcoming the deaths suffered by the depredations of Mutants and Machines, even as they strive to secure their homes further.
As they settled into caves left behind by underground aquifers and rivers, they naturally developed means to ensure that ventilation was up to the task. At the same time, natural light is deliberately brought into their tunnels via holes or mirrors, the complex series of light beams dazzling when morning arrives.
Yet, though endangered by Mutants and Machines, the Conclave has generally eschewed proper martial pursuits, seeking to live in harmony with nature rather than "impose" humanity's vision upon it, as their primary religious beliefs center around the conviction that all things are beholden to spirits, from humble blades of grass to mighty mountains. As such, they have developed a religious near-need to ensure that any objects they use are given the proper reverence, usually achieved by using art within every aspect of their lives.
From the humblest hammer to their homes, every surface capable of sporting and supporting artwork bears stories in paint and carving, from ancient tales passed down through the generations to stories published in recent times, sigils of power and likenesses of animals and honored people, from simple lines and pleasingly decorated walls set with mosaics created by the hands of old masters or young minds, all bear some manner of artistic endeavor.
In this, they honor the spirits and the world, hands crafting beauty unto beauty already existing beyond the sight of humanity.
Dossier On Meira's Hidden
Meira's Hidden are, by all accounts, what happens if the dredges of a Forge-Clan do not accept being exiled, driven out, told to leave, or end up leaving on their own volition. A band of exiles and heterodox practitioners of half-remembered or passed down rites combined with an inexhaustible drive to uncover the hidden shared with all other Forge-Clans, the Hidden have learned early on that three things are true in the world.
There are no others to depend upon. As outcasts in their beginning and outcasts by their practices, the Hidden will never be accepted by the Forge-Clans or even acknowledged as their descendants unless forced. They will never be able to beg for aid from the Empire beyond that given unto its citizens unless they bribe officials to divert funds their way, which carries significant risks and the danger of reprisals if discovered.
There is only Meira. Already worshipped as the founding figure by most Forge-Clans, this Awoken Machine-Mind has taken the place of even greater veneration within the Hidden, replacing any devotion to a Clan to her, seeing their mythical founder and savior as the only being in existence worthy of religious worship. This flies counter to the doctrine of the Followers of Light, which has only served to alienate them further from any possible greater contact with the nation and Region in particular.
Mutations are beneficial. This is an extreme diversion from the norm, as many people see mutations as dangerous and to be avoided and shunned. Although this has, is, and will hit many, many, many innocents in the process, some rare Mutations are known to be repugnant at best and utterly antithetical to human life at worst. We do not know if Meira's Hidden merely believe as us Pilgrims do that the Mutated are not defined as lesser by their Mutations or if they deliberately seek ways to acquire Mutations upon their persons or descendants. Still, either option has served to alienate them in the eyes and minds of many before the arrival of the Pilgrimage managed to begin the slow process of changing people's minds on a more permanent scale.

Much time has passed since we laid the first stone and struck the first wall of rock within a city to carve out and build a shelter for all those souls who have lost nearly or entirely all that they once had, from mere material possessions to the much more important family ties and blood. Yet, though these halls, which were once cold waiting stones, now ring with the laughter and screams of children given a future, and those orphans without anything can quickly find a place here to grow into their personage, the Path is still a long one for these structures. We gave these children a home and a chance at a future. Now, it is time for us to turn that chance into a certainty.

Now that every major City in Tessen is host to a grand edifice for the raising and sheltering of the most vulnerable of society, where the little ones can grow in peace and with enough meals to avoid going hungry (if not always by a tasty meal), alongside the chance to enter an apprenticeship should they not be adopted by couples before they grow too old and begin to age out of the system. The last part alone is far more than many can provide, as it takes time and money to train the next generation, and not many who shelter children from the horrors that took their families have the kind of money such would require. But we can, and with the cities covered, it is time to go over the towns outside the Green Zone, though they need to be far more armored and armed than those in the Cities.

It will cost us money, time, materials, connections, and favors to help the Mutated within turn the villages into a settlement that people can live in without considering the sword's edge.
(Turns: 2
Cost: 10 Goodwill
Reward: Lessened Suffering of the Mutated, -10 to Piety rolls.
Notice: Strul, Ularn, and Tessen have been "Cleaned.")
[ ] Mausoleum of the Forgotten - (City)
The last resting place of those who no longer have any that remember them, and the final site of their remains we manage to recover from wherever they died. Let their souls walk without the chains of disturbed slumber or defiled quiet.
(Turns: 2
Reward: Final resting place for the forgotten and discarded, -5 to Piety rolls.)
[ ] Healing For All! (Write-In Artifacts)
You have the money; they have the expertise. Announce that the Pilgrims will shoulder all costs for any medical procedure done by every doctor for the next three months.
(Chance: 70%
Reward: Healers gain Influence, 5d3 Goodwill.)
[ ] A Helping Hand
Now that you can create rugged high-grade prosthetics, more than merely producing and selling them is required. Unfortunately, too many veterans, injured, disabled, or unlucky, cannot afford a new arm, leg, hand, or foot. So, create a few thousand in bulk and ship them to where they are needed, where local Pilgrims may gift them as required.
(Chance: 99/50/25%
Reward: Gain 4/7/15d5 Goodwill.
[ ] Festival Of The Delta
With money comes the ability to sponsor festivals, and with our numbers, the capability to fully take advantage of the festival for our ends in learning, conciliation, and creation. It will be costly, but it will be worth it.
(Turns: 1
Chance: 50%
Reward: +2d8 Goodwill, +3d20 Recruits, +35 to all Actions this Turn if successful.)
-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 0.75 Goodwill)
[ ] A Small Donation - (Organization) - (Topic) - (Donation Sum)
As the Pilgrim's wealth increases, so does the need to play politics within the Big League. This directly translates to donations towards organizations (like newspapers) that work towards a goal we provide for them. Nothing they would be against doing, but something they would be adverse to in normal circumstances.
(Cost: 50-Unlimited Goodwill
Turns: 1
Chance: 75%
Reward: PR, Piety, and ???)

[ ] As The Marquess Desires
House Tessen wishes for a Heavy-Class Airship capable of transporting no less than fifty (50) Knights and be able to service said Knights in matters relating to maintenance and light repairs, alongside heavy armaments, weaponry, and a generous allotment of storage to allow the airship to ferry supplies and troops to far-flung outposts and fortresses. This, of course, also requires some consideration for multiple passengers of high standing.
(Ship Requirements: 10x Knight Hangars, 1x Knight Repair Bay, 5x Noble Passenger Cabins, 2x Suspendium Weapons, at least 300 Armor, and 1x Figurehead Decoration.
Reward: House Tessen likes you more, automatically designs a heavy airship, and unlocks the Action to build it.

[ ] Aerodynamics 103 - (All Physics)
Speed is of the essence when you are moving anywhere, as the faster you arrive, the less chances there are for enemies to catch, attack, disembowel, and eat you. Improving upon the equipment we have right now will be the key to ensuring that no one will catch us!

[ ] Suspendium Shaping Theory - (Pioneer Suspendium)
Thanks to our increased understanding of Suspendium, several important discoveries have been made, with the most important one being that Suspendium, if rightly treated, can be used as more than shards of a crystal but also as a pigment for tattoos. The implications of that discovery have haunted the Experimental Wing since, with dozens of theories and projections thrown around that point to the possibility that, if correctly treated, one could reshape the structure of Suspendium into liquid and non-natural shapes. The ability to interlace a lattice of Suspendium into a suit of armor or crate instead of painstakingly working it into the same would be nothing short of revolutionary, and that are merely the most obvious applications!
(Chance: 00/-100/-200% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 204
Reward: Unknown, Follow-Up Projects.
Breakthrough Research: +1d6 Successes every 20 Successes!)
[ ] Pressurized Suspendium Part 5a - (Pioneer Suspendium Theory)
"It is imperative to the continued progress of native Airship construction and research that funds and attention are allocated toward projects like this to allow our constructed vessels to bear far more weight at far less risk and trade-offs than ever before. Even if the hard, grueling work of years this path entails does not have the same sexy or alluring appearance as other avenues of research in matters of lift, it will pay off in the long run, as evidenced by the small amounts of suspendium required to lift vessels of far larger size into the air found within the Forest of Rust."
(Needed: Suspendium Shard - Gigantic

Reward: One more step forward. One step closer to understanding Suspendium. +50% Lift for all Lift Modules.)
[ ] Suspendium Weapon Compendium - (Pioneer Suspendium Theory)
The first step has been done, with the prototype already able to devastate all that stands before it. This will revolutionize airship construction and warfare, nascent as it is, even at the steep costs demanded by the weapons using them.
(Needed: Suspendium Shard - Large

[ ] The Training Halls of the Crews
While the creation of the School of Crews has allowed us to instill the basics into crewmembers, pilots, and captains, we must labor to increase the scope of their education so that they will be equipped to deal with a more extensive range of disasters, as well as train in semi-simulated environments to handle things while receiving first-hand experiences.
(Turns: 7
Upkeep: 1 Medium Suspendium Shards
Reward: School of Crews - Medium, -1 to Piety Rolls.)
[ ] The Academy of the Skyneers
Keeping an airship running is not as easy when you are in the skies, especially if you do not have access to the parts you need to fix something critical immediately. Patchjobs are typical for long-standing airships when suffering a malfunction too many, and finding ways to flick what is broken with the tools one has is far more important than knowing how to repair things with materials you cannot reach. Now, if only we could stop the students from calling themselves 'Skyneers' while we are at it...
(Turns: 6

It is done! After much sweat, blood, and tears have flowed, we finally figured out how to restore these ancient ships from their slumber! It will only take some muscle, Suspendium, and luck to escape notice, and they will travel across the sky once more!
(Personal Cutters (Unarmed 20 ton) (68 Remain): 5 Small Suspendium Shards per ship Recovered.

[ ] A Draft Of Mercy
Military and commercial applications of airships have taken a dangerous precedent and priority for us, something that we cannot tolerate any longer. With airships, we can help so many more at so much less hassle and cost, aiding, in turn, more and more people in need. Flying with doctors and medicine to the places that need them instead of forcing them to arrive at one of our locations they may never be able to reach alive is but the most apparent use of something our scholars are rapidly calling "Temple Ships."
(Turns: 1
Cost: 5 Medium Suspendium Shards
Reward: Unlock Aid and Faith Modules for your Airships.)
[ ] Halls of Free Minds
Arguing about the Paths and the Pilgrimage is good, yet there are places where one needs to set aside faith and replace it with uncertain certainty. Faith can guide us through the immaterial when there are no answers to be wrought, but Philosophy can guide us through the material when questions are all that are created by the answers we find.
(Turns: 4
Cost: 2 Medium Suspendium Shards
Reward: Halls of Free Minds, Unlocks further Actions, -5 to Piety Rolls.)
[ ] Gardens of Levitation
A person's inner mind is as much a Path to travel as the physical Journey we all undertake. In a garden, one can ground themselves in nature and the works wrought by hand and guided minds, reflecting on what can be created if a desire exists and the shapes that our universe takes within these forms. By embracing weightlessness and detachment from gravity, one can enter a trance beneficial to beginning a Journey of the Inner Path.
(Turns: 3
Cost: 2 Large Suspendium Shards
Reward: Gardens of Levitation, Unlocks further Actions, -5 to Piety Rolls.)
[ ] A Coming Of Age Inscribed
While using tattoos to display one's allegiance and faith has long since been a part of the Pilgrimage that has been implicitly approved, the years since the discovery of Suspendium have turned this practice into a far more ritualistic affair, now tinted in the possibilities and assured knowledge of Suspendiums non-toxic nature. Finely ground down, treated in gentle heat, and then processed into a form of pigment, Suspendium has begun to be used by many, especially those of us who come of age, to display our Paths and Journey proudly and unafraid. Offering public approval and enshrining this practice as part of the Pilgrimage will bring a sense of community to us all while empowering those who fight to leave a past behind they have conquered.
(Cost: 10 Goodwill
Upkeep: 1 Medium Suspendium Shard
Reward: Suspendium Ritual Tattoos - -5 to Piety Rolls.)
[ ] Radio Cafes
A somewhat new and novel idea, using the recently created and proliferated radios of our Scholars in a public setting offering food, drink, and conversation, will offer a place to relax, converse with others, and inform oneself about the news and happenings of the Region.

Diplomacy: The art of speaking many words that mean nothing should not be underestimated. At the wrong time, a report in the right ear has toppled many nations. (Choose 1 Action, 1 Action Locked)
[ ] The Great Trade Fleets - (Choose Region)
With the proliferation of airships, the abundance of goods within Tessen, and the dearth of forces that could threaten either once within the air, convincing the Merchant Guild to construct and maintain an airship depot and trading station within another Region will not be as impossible as before, but will require us to grease hands and argue fervently for the profits that could be made. No merchant likes a risk they do not think will pay off, so we should make them believe it will.
(Cost: 10 Goodwill
Chance: 25% (+70 if you add a pre-Collapse cargo airship to the deal.)
Turns: 3
Reward: Closer connection and rapid exchange of people, goods, and information with a chosen Region.)
[ ] We Are One People! - (Elites/Locals)
To harm someone because they look different is idiotic and utterly wrong. You cannot push another down and still call yourself righteous, no matter how they look. Even the lowest deserve our respect as fellow human beings. Start a propaganda campaign to change the Mutated view, unite the people, and start on the road to reconciliation.
(Chance: 20%/-80% for Elites/Locals (rolled each turn.)
Successes Needed: 4/8
Reward: +1 Relationship for the Mutated with the chosen faction, +40% Piety, 4d20 Recruits, +2d12 Goodwill)
[X] School The Diplomat-Corp - (Specialized) - (Adventurer's Guild) - (1/2 Turns Complete)
Your Training for the diplomats is as comprehensive as possible to create for the foreseeable future. However, you need institutional knowledge or an in-depth look into one faction to help you more.
(Turns: 2
Chance: 70%
Reward: +15 to all rolls involving said faction.)

With the proliferation of airships, the abundance of goods within Tessen, and the dearth of forces that could threaten either once within the air, convincing the Merchant Guild to construct and maintain an airship depot and trading station within another Region will not be as impossible as before, but will require us to grease hands and argue fervently for the profits that could be made. No merchant likes a risk they do not think will pay off, so we should make them believe it will.
(Cost: 10 Goodwill
Chance: 25% (+70 if you add a pre-Collapse cargo airship to the deal.)
Turns: 3
Reward: Closer connection and rapid exchange of people, goods, and information with a chosen Region.)
[ ] We Are One People! - (Elites/Locals)
To harm someone because they look different is idiotic and utterly wrong. You cannot push another down and still call yourself righteous, no matter how they look. Even the lowest deserve our respect as fellow human beings. Start a propaganda campaign to change the Mutated view, unite the people, and start on the road to reconciliation.
(Chance: 20%/-80% for Elites/Locals (rolled each turn.)
Successes Needed: 4/8
Reward: +1 Relationship for the Mutated with the chosen faction, +40% Piety, 4d20 Recruits, +2d12 Goodwill)
[X] School The Diplomat-Corp - (Specialized) - (Adventurer's Guild) - (1/2 Turns Complete)
Your Training for the diplomats is as comprehensive as possible to create for the foreseeable future. However, you need institutional knowledge or an in-depth look into one faction to help you more.
(Turns: 2
Chance: 70%
Reward: +15 to all rolls involving said faction.)
[ ] Create A Dossier On (Groups/Topics (Max 3))
Collate all known information, history, and rumors about a group or topic of interest to ensure the Pilgrims' future actions are as well-informed as possible.
(Chance: 70%
Reward: Lore and Information regarding Groups/Topics (Max 3).)

Subversion: Sometimes, you must convince people they need help with means other than an open hand and a friendly face. A dagger to the back of those who chain them would be a good start. (1 Action Locked)
[ ] Home of Night
A structure is needed to store, train, and keep things you'd rather not have out in the open, be they machines, people, or items. Several places have been considered, though only one, shielded in a small valley smothering everything within in an ever-present half-shadow, has proven suitable. Setting aside funds to create a keep there would prove trivial to your agents.
(Cost: 31 Goodwill, Upkeep: 7.5 Goodwill
Turns: 7
Reward: Home of Night allows you to train specialized Subversion Agents and unlocks Destabilization Actions.)
[ ] A Path Of Shadows
Training can only bring one so far, and tools will only pave over so many cracks and failures in learning and ability. It is time that those willing to hide in the shadows of the world for the benefit of the Pilgrims learn the difference between seeking to adapt to the blind seeking their traces and those seeing that perceive their wanderings.
(Cost: 25 Goodwill, Upkeep: 4 Goodwill
Turns: 7
Reward: Reduce the chance of your agents being caught and considerably reduce the impact of failures.)
[ ] Cover Of Mind
The mind of humankind is ever so fragile; even the slightest imbalance of its chemicals can lead to devastating changes in perception, memory, and motor function. A little nick here, a slight pierce there, some drops over yonder, and a minor waft of smoke...and bodies slump or minds see what is not there.
(Cost: 34 Goodwill, Upkeep: 11 Goodwill
Turns: 5
Reward: Improve all Assassination Actions, which allows you to send the same to other Chapters to help.)
[ ] Holding Chambers
Torture is inefficient, sloppy, and gives nothing but information spouted to stop the pain. Isolation and removal of all but the basest things, however...they can be good tools to use to ply weak minds to our advantage. It will also be an excellent place to store those you cannot kill but need to...dispose of.
(Cost: 21 Goodwill, Upkeep: 1.24 Goodwill
Turns: 2
Reward: Holding Chambers, increasing gathered information from caught spies and subversives.)
[ ] The Good Gardeners
Every farmer and gardener will tell you plants need pruning. There needs to be someone going around, cutting off unwanted and unneeded parts of those plants, be they trees or bushes, to allow the rest to grow more healthily. Some plants need to be ripped out roots and stems so that they do not kill other plants that are good for the soil. Some may have fallen prey to blight and need to be removed for the good of all others. Those are valuable lessons to learn and good things to do. Find some people willing to become gardeners for the Pilgrims.
(Cost: 42 Goodwill, Upkeep: 6.48 Goodwill
Turns: 8
Reward: Gardeners.)
[ ] Audit Everything
Yes, we did make an audit of all our networks and holdings...but what about a second one? You know, to ensure we got everyone that may try to fuck us over?

[X] Train Your Infiltrators - (Greater) - (1/4 Turns Complete)
To work within the shadows of society is more than melding into the masses; it means being able to sink below even the mud and muck of a city and emerge within gilded halls and palaces without arousing suspicion.

It is time to ensure your spies are in place to ply their trade. This step focuses on laying the groundwork for future expansions and won't get you any detailed information. It is also little more than paying some people to pass on rumors, which is standard practice within Slatnan and will raise only a few eyebrows. Still, even basic knowledge may allow you to plan farther ahead.

[ ] Neuotinium Experiments - (Pioneer Mechanics/Metallurgy/Hydraulics)
In our quest to improve our methods of creating Tiantemu, several exciting developments caused some of our metallurgists to start theorizing about possible methods to, if not create, then ape, a more primitive form of Neuotinium. Should we be successful, the creation of this ancient alloy mix would be a massive boon to both the Pilgrims and the Empire.
(Chance: -347/-461/-666% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 89
Reward: Primitive Neuotinium can now be created by the Empire.
Breakthrough Research: +25% Success chance every 3 Turns!)
[ ] Pneumatic Tooling Advancements - (Advanced Hydraulic/Mechanics)
Well then, our understanding of steam and hydraulics has advanced so that, without further prompting, multiple engineers have started designing new ways to improve our pneumatic tools. We should support this endeavor, as shortened construction times benefit us all.
(Chance: 40/20/00% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 9

One of the blueprints we found in the Necropolis appears to be a production for a type of liquid fuel similar to oil, but it is made from a kind of alcohol derived from plants.

[ ] Lances So Bright And Deadly - (Pioneer Weaponry/Electronics/Physics)
Bright-Lances are a known foe for any who delve into a Necropolis, and the Pilgrims are no exception. Over the years, we have gathered multiple examples of Bright-Lances, from components to damaged pieces and even an intact model or two. Many believe it is possible to uncover their secrets with this variety and number of samples.
(Cost: 10x Bright-Lance Artefacts
Chance: 99/99/99 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 4
Reward: Prototype Energy Weapon)
[ ] Cutting Edge Technology - (All Weaponry)
When facing your enemies up close and personal, you can never go wrong with a good blade in your hand. What makes a knife great comes down to the skill of the smith and the quality of the metal used. While we can't do much for the former, there is much to improve on the latter. Using samples from the Necropolis, we can determine which alloys work best for each blade type. They will be too expensive for everyday life, but our military forces will be glad to have them.
(Needed Artifact: Mono Titanium Blade
Chance: 99/99/50 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 3
Reward: +1 Damage for all bladed weapons per 3 Size of a Unit)

Range is king in all engagements. If one side can harm the other, but they cannot be harmed back? Then, a winner is all but decided.
(Chance: 99/99/99 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 20
Reward: Standard Lance Coilgun.)
[ ] Coilgun Scattershot Extended- (Pioneer Electronics/Weaponry)
However, if an enemy is already nearby, killing as many as possible at once will confer many advantages.
(Chance: 99/99/42 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 38
Reward: Standard Scattershot Coilgun.)
[ ] Coilgun Repeater Repeated Repeatedly - (Pioneer Electronics/Weaponry)
On the other hand, throwing as much metal in as little time as possible will do the same without suffering the setback of killing potential due to loss of accuracy over long ranges.
(Chance: 99/99/99 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 10
Reward: Standard Repeater Coilgun.)
[ ] Gasses Long Forgotten - (Advanced Weaponry/Chemicals)
These tiny capsules promise to end a fight before it even begins, saving valuable lives. But, of course, building your own can only help you in the long run.
(Cost: Sleep-Gas Bombs
Chance: 99/90/50 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 10
Reward: Primitive Gas Grenades)
[ ] Burning Fire, Raging Ire - (Advanced Weaponry/Chemicals)
It is one thing to light a rag connected to alcohol and throw it, another to have a reliable fire grenade. Such chemicals and ancient mentions of how we could create those must exist.
(Chance: 90/60/30 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 3
Reward: Primitive Fire Grenade)
[ ] Fuck That Guy And Everything Around Him - Part 3 - (Advanced Physics/Chemicals/Weaponry)
Though this is a massive improvement over the last iteration, it is prudent to go over the plans once more to see what can be improved before starting over to further refine the mortar's concept and abilities.
(Chance: 80/40/00 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 24
Reward: Static Mortar - Improved, a powerful weapon with limited range and very good accuracy.)
[ ] BURN IN HOLY FIRE! - Part 1 - (Physics/All Chemicals/Advanced Weaponry)
Recently, your expedition acquired a surprisingly intact flamethrower from the Necropolis. Admittedly, the weapon may not be as good as those produced by the Forge-Clans today, but seeing as this version was intended for civilian use, you can excuse that. No pre-collapse government wanted potent weapons in the hands of their slaves, you see. Nonetheless, with this Artifact, you will start down the Path of creating Pilgrim-designed flamethrowers and all their uses in warfare and pest removal.
(Needed Artifact: Intact Civilian Flamethrower
Chance: 99/99/99 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 1
Reward: Primitive Flamethrower, BIHF Pt.2a + Pt.2b)
[ ] Repair The Hammer - (Weaponry/Metallurgy/Alloys)
Finding this weapon was a stroke of luck! After all, making a weapon for Knights is much more complicated than giving them a big metal piece! While damaged, patching and reinforcing the hammer should give your Knight/s a powerful weapon in future fights. It would also allow you to glimpse the inner workings of Knight Weapons.
(Needed Artifact: Damaged Knight-Weapon: Hammer
Chance: 99/99/99% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 1

Reward: Static Mortar - Improved, a powerful weapon with limited range and very good accuracy.)
[ ] BURN IN HOLY FIRE! - Part 1 - (Physics/All Chemicals/Advanced Weaponry)
Recently, your expedition acquired a surprisingly intact flamethrower from the Necropolis. Admittedly, the weapon may not be as good as those produced by the Forge-Clans today, but seeing as this version was intended for civilian use, you can excuse that. No pre-collapse government wanted potent weapons in the hands of their slaves, you see. Nonetheless, with this Artifact, you will start down the Path of creating Pilgrim-designed flamethrowers and all their uses in warfare and pest removal.
(Needed Artifact: Intact Civilian Flamethrower
Chance: 99/99/99 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 1
Reward: Primitive Flamethrower, BIHF Pt.2a + Pt.2b)
[ ] Repair The Hammer - (Weaponry/Metallurgy/Alloys)
Finding this weapon was a stroke of luck! After all, making a weapon for Knights is much more complicated than giving them a big metal piece! While damaged, patching and reinforcing the hammer should give your Knight/s a powerful weapon in future fights. It would also allow you to glimpse the inner workings of Knight Weapons.
(Needed Artifact: Damaged Knight-Weapon: Hammer
Chance: 99/99/99% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 1
Reward: "Bonecrusher" armament for the Pilgrims Knight, can create Prototype Knight-Weapons.)
[ ] A Shield For Rangers - (Armor)
After researching a shield your Militia and troops could use, one of your scholars came forth with designs for one that your ranged troops could use. It wouldn't be a short endeavor and costly regarding materials, but it could provide a leg up in armor.
(Chance: 99/99/99% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 2
Reward: Spiked Pavise.)
[ ] Power Armor - Standard - (Pioneer Electronics/Hydraulics/Armor)

Reward: Auto-Bandage - (Standard))
[ ] Combat Stimms Round 3 - (Pioneer Medicine/Biology/Chemicals)
Where natural talent fails, chemical talent can step in, but only sometimes and never permanently. Or could it? Is there such a thing as chemicals and drugs that aren't inherently harmful to the body in the long run, or are there ways to minimize the danger to almost nothing? It's something worth investigating.
(Chance: 50/40/30% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 10
Reward: Advanced Combat Drugs, Unlocks Round 4)
[ ] Body Images, With Magnets! - (Pioneer Medicinal/Machinery/Physics)
One of the blueprints we found in the Necropolis appears to be for a machine that uses magnetic waves to take images of the body's soft tissues, bones, and other hard tissue.

[ ] Chemical Fertilizers - (Advanced Chemicals)
Though known in most Regions, the production of chemical fertilizers faces some roadblocks due to the advent of sandwheat. You can't make a desert more fertile, after all. Yet, we can improve the yields and growth of those crops that grow on the more traditional soils by coming up with local variants of fertilizers that won't damage the soil overly. Hopefully.
(Chance: 25/20/15% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 11
Reward: Improves yields of all farms once Fertilizer production starts. Unlocks Norqod Action.)
[ ] Animal Medicines Investigated - (Advanced Biology/Medicine)
Animals can get sick, and when they do, the risk of cross-species jumping of the disease grows. Also, sick animals are in pain, and no farmer likes having their lizards, goats, or cats groan and wheeze and sneeze. Especially those they named. With a better understanding of what medicines are available and which need to be improved, we can work on creating better ways to treat our furred and scaled friends and meals.
(Chance: 00/-40/-90% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 20

[ ] Growing Minds Part 2 (Pioneer Psychology)
The minds of children are more robust and more fragile than we think they are. Children are intelligent, just not experienced, and with time, they will gain that experience to deal with situations that are required of them when they are adults. What, then, happens if a child is forced to grow up too early? Has such experiences without the tools and understanding to handle what they are going through?
(Chance: -50/-380/-590% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 145
Breakthrough Research: +30 Chance of Success per 10 Successes!
Rewards: Improvement for schools and orphanages.)
[ ] Blue Sky Psychology - (Pioneer Psychology)
With most of the problems you have been able to identify at least tangentially understood and categorized, there is nothing more to do than seek out other disorders and diseases of the mind, and means to cure them. However, such an endeaveor is a long-weary thing and offers little concrete results in the short term.
(Chance: -100/-300/-900% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 120

[ ] Optical Fibers - (Pioneer Machinery/Electronics/Physics)
One of the blueprints we found in the Necropolis appears to be for a machine that uses glass wires instead of metal to weave cables. We might have found one of the secrets behind the Ancient's data transferring abilities. As hard as it would be to get glass thin and flexible to work as wire, it would greatly improve our capacity to transmit data. However, even a single cable like that would be ruinously expensive without a massive investment into the industries to build them.
(Requirements: Lost-Tech Machinery Blueprints x1
Breakthrough Research: +40 Success Chance every 4 Successes.
Chance: -125/-265/-505% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 40

(Chance: 99/-50/-250% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 35
Reward: ???)
[ ] Secret Of The Circuit Pt.5 - (Pioneer Electronics)
There is always another step to be taken. Another path to be taken. This is no different. The road is long but worth it. At the end of this, one awaits the ability to produce the electronics of the ancients in artisanal batches rather than as mere toys to show that we can. One is something that will never be used, and the other is a strategic resource.
(Chance: 00/-250/-700% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 150
Reward: Basically, auto-succeed low-level Electronics Research, upgrades Electronics Manufacture, unlocks Base/Learning Action.
Notice: Breakthrough Research! +20% to Success Chance every 10 Successes!)
[ ] Automation Cost Reduction - (Pioneer Programming)
Automation is a broad term that can cover many areas of technology where human input is minimized. For example, one can use it to describe the highly sophisticated robotics used by the Forge-Clans in their steel mill and heavy-duty industries or the various simple but effective machines installed in the widespread manufactories within the Empire. Wherever a machine can do the job instead of a person, automation offers many enticing and dangerous possibilities. With our first foray done with, we now need to prove that we have managed to do what we set out to do.

[X] Expedition - (TP-05) - (1 Turn Remains) - (House Mirn support: N)
[X] Expedition - (BF-03) - (2 Turns Remain) - (House Mirn support: N)
[ ] Loot The Bunker
Let's go!
[ ] Crystal-Garden Expedition
Gathering Suspendium for anything other than the quota will require you to set up specific expeditions to either use it to feed your research or airship production or gather a buffer of Suspendium should you be cut off for one reason or another. Thanks to your research, you managed to create better Suspendium harvesting methods!
(Chance: 40%
Reward: 3 Large Suspendium Shards.
Warning: If this Action fails, 3d30 Pilgrims will die. Boni, Traits, and Tenets apply.)
-[ ] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 4.00 Goodwill)
[ ] Send Out The Scavengers (Choose A Location)
Sometimes, it is not worth sending an expedition to a location due to its low yield or quality.
(Chance: 85%
Reward: 1 turn in the specified location.
Warning! If the Action fails, there is a 4% chance that 1d6 Pilgrims will die due to being detected and subsequently attacked.
[X] The Smokestack's Bowels - (3/9 Turns Complete) - (Rust-Scouts)
Deep within the massive belly of the Smokestack, an ancient factory still churning out and recycling vast amounts of goods lies, forgotten and discarded, information, technical blueprints, and all manner of things that are worth more than a dozen times their weight in pure Jewel. The sheer amount of technologies that could be recovered if one could go past the Machines here...
(Chance: -200%
Turns: 9
Reward: The Smokestack's Bowels are mapped.
Notice: Rolled each turn.
Warning! If the Action fails, the Scouting Unit will die.)
[ ] Delve Deeper Into The Pit
Down, down, down it goes, winding into an eternal spiral beneath the boundary where the sun's light reaches, and darkness begins to take over, reigning like a king of old who had no fear or threat. Deeper yet, you must delve into hidden things, where glimmering sights evoke pictures of treasures untouched by human hands in a thousand years within the minds of all who delve deeper yet, deep down, down, down...
(Chance: -10%
Reward: Plunge beyond The Pit's First Zone. No Harm Will Come To Those Who Seek Me Here.)
[X] Excavate The Bones Of Roots - (2/10 Turns Complete)
It is why you were told to come here. It is what will see a world remain unshattered even if the being that rises will not be happy to be called forth once more.
(Turns: 10
Notice: Can speed up the excavation by 1 Turn per 20 Goodwill spent.
Reward: Bones of Roots.)
[ ] Search The Bloodless Thicket
The Bloodless Thicket is a dark and dense bramble of plants filled with thorns and vines. Each step into it is accompanied by the crunch of bones from animals and people who entered and were caught by the plants therein. Oddly enough, blood sacrifices are rumored to allow passage into the Thicket for a short while, with the plants receding their hungry thorns, if those who claim they entered it are to be believed.
(Chance: 10%
Turns: 4
Reward: The Bloodless Thicket is scouted.)
[ ] Delve Into The Hardened Roots
The Hardene Roots are where the roots of the entire Oasis delve into the soils and bedrock, pumping nutrients from forgotten vats, dead corpses, and old earth long forgotten by any minds of humanity. What wonders lie beneath this place? What horrors await us?
(Chance: -50%
Turns: 5
Reward: The Hardened Roots are scouted. You can delve deeper into the Verdant Oasis.
Warning: If detected, your Scouts will vanish.)
[ ] Search For Shelter Lost
The Stranger said things, gave assurances and evidence, and was taken away to prevent what he told from spreading beyond. Yet, the call of forgotten wonders is mightier than reason. Set out to re-discover what has been buried for so long and see what remains. Your dreams now know the path...
(Chance: 45%
Reward: Find the Shelter of the Ancients.)
[ ] Scout The Bonetunnels
PD informed you of a series of tunnels that run deep beneath the surface, filled with dead beings' bones and corpses. Animals, Mutants, and even Machines descend into their depths to die, leaving behind mountains of bones. What could be found here?
(Chance: 34%
Turns: 2
Reward: Sites in The Bonetunnels are located and mapped.
Warning! If the Action fails, there is a 15% Chance that the Scouting Unit will die from being detected and subsequently attacked.)
[ ] Scout The Hall of Echoes - (Unit)
Are we not all echoes of one another?
(Chance: 71%
Turns: 4
Reward: Sites are located and mapped.
Warning! If the Action fails, there is an 80% Chance that the Scouting Unit will die from being detected and subsequently attacked.)
[ ] Scout The Hall of Minds - (Unit)
What could be here beyond what should have never been thought up? We should return and forget about this place.
(Chance: 14%
Turns: 3
Reward: Sites are located and mapped.
Warning! If the Action fails, there is a 90% Chance that the Scouting Unit will die from being detected and subsequently attacked.)
[ ] Scout The Hall of Sorrow - (Unit)
There is nothing here but the taste of bitter tears and forgotten tragedies.
(Chance: -100%
Turns: 2
Reward: Sites are located and mapped. You can delve deeper into the Tenebris Library.
Warning! If the Action fails, there is a 100% Chance that the Scouting Unit will die from being detected and subsequently attacked.)
[ ] Scout The Spine - (Airship Fleet)
With the recent upgrade to the Berth in the Tree of Knowledge, you have finally gained the ability to outfit a fleet of Airships with enough weapons, supplies, and tools to reach the Spine, that titanic tower sitting within the Rusting Forest, whose skeletal spire has been out of reach of humanity for a thousand years. What miracles will you find? What horrors do you need to slay to attain them? And what answers and questions shall be found here?
(Chance: ???%
Turns: ???
Reward: The Spire can be accessed.)
[ ] Search for the Zone
Your efforts to learn more about the Region have yielded an unusual fruit, knowing that your Knight was most likely part of the Revival Initiative. This polity operated deep inside the Forest, scavenging for artifacts like you, but they took it a step further. They built a small town in the Necropolis. Foolish, yet finding it could unearth treasures beyond imagination or prove a giant disappointment. PD's maps are heavily corrupted, but she has provided some landmarks that may still exist.
(Chance: 14%
Turns: 4
Reward: The Zone can be scavenged.)
Sometimes, you must dig into one location for months to fully exploit it.
(Can only be used on locations already scouted out. For every Turn you spend on this Action, an expedition spends 2(two) at the chosen target. Once the expedition has left, it no longer requires one Action.)
-House Mirn support - (25% of the recovered artifacts are given over; there is no need for security or clearing places on your own.)

Tree of Knowledge: Home of the Pilgrims, Bastion of what they stand for, a symbol of hope for the desperate. (1 Action Locked)
[ ] Prototype Radar Tower
It is, perhaps, too soon to say what this technology will bring to the world. There are too many unknowns about how it will interact with the various weapons, tools, and Machines left behind by the Collapse. But we must consider a simple fact: to see beyond the horizon will save lives. We must pursue this technology to its fullest ere we betray our Paths.
(Turns: 8
Reward: Prototype Radar Tower, +50 Successes for Vision Beyond the Sight Part 2.)
[ ] Berth - Gigantic
Berth? Berth?! This is a full-on Fleet Anchorage! What do you mean by "BERTH"?!
(Turns: 15
Reward: Up to Fifteen Large Airships for exploration or trading. Can be upgraded into Fleet Anchorage - Small.)

Dig deeper, build farther, construct more elaborate machines, and turn unliving rock into marvels of science. We are born knowing nothing and shall not die knowing nothing; that is our oath.
(Cost: 20 General Scientists, 20 Common Engineers, 5 Specialists of Choice
Turns: 35
Reward: Massively improved success chances.)

There can never be such a thing as too much information gleaned from studying. Therefore, ensure that your Black Box is expanded and equipped with more tools to study Artifacts better.
(Cost: 2 Scientists, 1 Engineer
Turns: 6
Reward: 10% not to use up an Artifact, can slot 1(one) Artifact to provide 15% (rounded down) of the Artifact bonus continuously.)
[X] Library - (Expanded) - (6/13 Turns Complete)
A library is a reservoir of knowledge and provides entertainment and education while acting as a community center. Expand the available space to fit four additional floors of equal area, with more books and secluded study rooms for those wishing to research in peace. You also need dedicated librarians and helpers to ensure that people can find what they need and then return it to where they found their books. A section for cartography would also be an excellent addition!
(Turns: 13
Reward: Provides 3 (three) slots for Literature Artifacts, providing a 15% Boost to their bonus.)
[ ] Assemble Engines
Now that we have improved our Steam Engines, we should consider building them for mines and farms.
(Reward: Prosperity and increased Technological Proliferation.)

We learned much and will likely learn more as we set out to prove that we have managed to find the correct balance of automation, cost, materials, and policy.
(Turns: 20
Reward: Prove that you have managed to crack the correct implementations of Automation in a wide area of industries.)
[ ] Armor The Daughter - (Armor Points)
Alright, you have a giant airship; it represents the biggest and most obvious target in any hostile area, and there are currently gaps in her armor. You need to either fix that ASAP, hope that nobody will attack the Empire in the next three decades, or be attacked by you. Let's fix her as we live in reality; why don't we?
(Reward: Conventional Armor Filled, decreased chances that the Daughter is destroyed, which would be dangerous.)
[ ] Pilgrim Radio
Let long-forgotten power thrum through reactivated machinery, let ancient airwaves long lain dormant once more sing with the voices of our people, and let there be one more monument to human ingenuity and progress reclaimed among the Wastes.

Treating wounds is a fundamental skill most people have, but things like surgery, identifying diseases, warding against plague, comforting patients, and more are not.

[ ] Large Quarantine Area
Plague is a constant across much of Calynth, with few ever having known a year where some disease didn't kill thousands in some Region or country. To prevent the spread of such plagues, the Imperial Family has long since ordered dozens of precautions whenever a suspected "hotspot" of disease is found. One of the most effective precautions is the quarantine of suspected carriers and those they had contact with away from the settlements. (And situated in plain view of a fortification.) Expanding your area to include safe places for caretakers to rest, relax between shifts, and get themselves checked via blood testing and breath analyzers bought from Forge-Clans should up your security by a few notches.
(Turns: 9
Reward: Norqod is further resistant to plague.)

[ ] Wax Shaper Test Building
Though you have managed to, somehow, create a way to compute and design shapes that can be "printed" upon the physical world thanks to the Metal Printer Artifact you uncovered, the mere complexity of the printing process requires a monumental amount of processing power.

However, the payoff would be immense if we could generate metal constructs wholesale without requiring extensive industrial machines operated by people. Yet, we should start with a wax-based prototype first, just to be sure.

I think that we should shift a diplo action to the endless skies.
Speaking of, I think that we should put one action on research in preperation for the flagship
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Error Checking:
2. Already have that covered.
6311+110 = 6421. Not sure where the extra 14 comes from.
16+41 = 57.
Just to be clear, is this an Effect with a permanent bonus like Scientific Theory or Soaring Wrenches?
I think you meant Armor Penetration? Overpenetration is 'can only target 1 unit.'
Need to add 'Fixed the Mess' to the Assets listing.
Same.
Are you changing the bookkeeping so it's no longer 4/7 Successes (as per the example above)? If so, you should fix the entries for The Little Crystal and Scarlet Blue.
Just to clarify, is the unlock a different or improvement to the current Animal Medicine option?
Best stay well out of the way.
Interesting. Slightly reduced crew and a greatly amplified rate of fire. Looks like we tapped out the main Coilgun upgrade line in Learning.
1. Might be a good idea.
2. Already have that covered.
I meant it in more of a better quality ship to show of our progress and also make sure that the flagship won't be outdated too fast
Like I think that this 3 techs would work great for a Flagship (in the nothing that big should move so fast)

A permanent bonus.
They...already are?MrRageQuit said:
It is an unlock for Norqod to its medical infrastructure.MrRageQuit said:
- Pronouns
- He/Him
In the Notable Assets/Buildings tab, Strul has 1x Fixed the Mess under its entry. Ularn and Tessen do not.
HeroCooky
Unverified Monstergirl
? I looked again, and they both do? I checked thrice now. The entries are sorted alphabetically, are you certain that neither has their Fixed the Mess?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Ah, I see the issue. Strul's Fixed was not sorted alphabetically but at the bottom, hence I was looking there.
HeroCooky
Unverified Monstergirl
Sorted. Should now be all OSHA compliant.
The elctric bays are for cargo ships mostly. I suggested them to have a better Cargo per Crew ratio.
While true consider the sheer number of ammunition and supplies, the flagship will need to operate a Small storage bay to resupply quickly.
Logistics are the goddess of war.
Ah, I see. They have never been outraged before, and probably don't even know why they should care about a princess.
Some people will want that to erase Mutations due to politics. Others will try to get Mutations, like biological immortality. But this does mean we could give any new Knight pilot we get Aria's Mutation.
Give it to Turi? Less for the armor value, and more because I'm curious what a more confident and focused Turi would be like.
I wonder if any Clan Elder would be impressed or scream in disgust.
Now we can only wait...
Most was already known. I do wonder how they make the minimum of militarism work with Mutants and Machines around.
The Pod of Rebirth must be like catnip to them.
Didn't we get some overflow here?
Anyway, by now, I'm tempted to do some Norqod Actions to make our own newspapers. Satire and Investigations could change some things, and with our airships we could spread them a lot.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Nah, HC overcounted successes. Don't worry, we'll be able to finish this one off easily enough.
As I understand it, the newspaper is meant to be local-scale/focus.
Don't worry, Repeaters and Lances are coming up.
Norqod is getting close to 6k population. So a local newspaper would come in handy at this point.

I'm not sure we need a dossier on these guys. Maybe we could switch it to the Air Force/Navy (can never remember the name) to see how it has developed?
Though after this, maybe we could do the Great Trade Fleets to connect with regions we are not planning to expand to, like Slatnans Womb.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Honestly, IC we don't, any more than we need one on the Merchants Guild or 4S, but it fills an action for now and I'd like to have the Dossiers filled out for sake of completeness.
I can definitely look at both Air Fleets next turn.
Yeah, that can go on the list. Slatnan's Womb and Green Dunes to improve the transport of food and other bio-products. We have the shipping output per quarter to start supporting these things.
Quasi-related question: think you can drum up a design for the pleasure yachts, or do you want to just take up HC's option of 'just do the line and a design will be assumed'?
I don't think its worth it tbh. Luxury yachts are going to be very personalised by design so that means a standard design is going to be a basic skeleton and not much else. I think the Pilgrims have enough experience building ships that they can do it automatically.
We will probably face fierce resistance in the Green Dunes, being the headquarters of the Eden Church and all that.
Though, after we clean all the BHVs in Tessen we might want to consider another expansion.
