Harsh and ignoring the majority of the interactions we've had with some of those Kings up to now.
But none of it untrue or undeserved. We've seen affable, we've seen pragmatic. But none of them are nice. Any of them would stick a knife in our back at the drop of a hat if anything they cared about was on the line. Heck, we're not nice either, and I resent any implication to the contrary. We're just particular about our Evil.
 
Honestly, we really should focus on the food and entertainment industries. So far as I can tell, the only people with any ties to the food industry is us, Xanay after he bought out Skinner a couple turns ago, and Thailog's corporation, Nightstone I think it was? And Nightstone seems to focus only on coffee and coffee-related products at the moment.

As for the entertainment industry, I can't recall seeing anyone ever invest into it. Like, Glomgold probably has his hands(wings?) in that pie because he's Glomgold, but he's the only dude I can think of.

Can I suggest, say, Wiff-O (Makers of the Skiddley Whiffers game), the Har D Har Toy Company (Who, among other things, once produced a Perry Inaction Figure (Because he doesn't do much, get it :V) with the help of Phineas and Ferb), and the Huge-O-Records company (who produced Gitchee Gitchee Goo when P&F felt like being One-Hit Wonders for the episode) as possibly buy-outs?

A bunch of kings invested in food stuff after the famine.

Bakaemono did genetically engineered rice.
Xanatos did genetically modified beef
Toffee did corn deals.
I don't remember the rest.
 
What we have to specialize in is the entertainment industry, what with Toons, dinosaurs, our units and our own predilection for music.
 
So I would work on the entertainment industry, get into other dimensions for more land/funds, and reach out to Drossell for that sweet, crazy tech. I'm a little scared about what they working on now they had this long without orbital bombardment.
 
Entertainment might be a solid choice. I also would be pretty happy if we tried to push into vehicles. Janus would be a solid asset there, and more importantly it would be a pain for Doom.

EDIT: Also, we already got flying cars legalized. If we don't jump on that, Doom will, and I don't think anyone wants him to profit from our efforts.

Get Split//Second going and do both. Then invite THE DUKE as a Guest Star/Host. (Also, we should get on that sublight engines mystery box soon.)
 
Too late for that. Maybe if we had committed to it closer to the famine.
We did commit, pretty much as soon as the famine became apparent. We just didn't commit enough, and while committing now might not yield the same results, it's something relatively few, if any, Kings are specced in. A good first step might be buying Hoppers, or possibly the Mr. Slushy franchise of fast food chains.

He already is. I can't remember if it was this last turn or the one before, but Doom failed an action concerning Flying Mass Transit, I think.

During the January/Febuary turn Doom crit succeeded on researching flying mass transit. He has yet to actually release anything, but he's obviously going to at some point. Once he does, beating us to personal vehicles is the obvious next step.

Damn. He's probably devoting an action towards that this turn, isn't he? And we've already got too many things to worry about researching to do it next turn either... We might just have to bite the bullet and hand him the transportation industry for now.

He probably isn't going to release it untill someone else does. His big moneymaker is still roads.

I'm also sceptical he will have better stuff than us even with a crit since Doof has alien super turbines and Motorcity tech.

Hmm, alright, you have a point there.

I'm...not sure we've researched either of those? I know we haven't gotten Motorcity tech yet because we didn't take the exotic vehicles learning action, and the turbines seem to be locked behind the Sublight drives? Speaking of which...

Research Sublight Drives Rewards said:
Rapid deployment for your own hero units cross-country
Does this mean we'd be able to have HU's available for NA's even after quests/crises like the LA mission or Demona's tantrum in New York?
 
You know, I'm tempted to try to run a quest inspired by this one with Doofenschmirtz-2 (re)conquering his dimension (or at least the Tri-State Area).

But I still don't know jack about quests so eh maybe I should just do an omake for now, if I could even get off my ass and actually write one which is unlikely.

Would Doof-2 have to deal with 2 versions of everyone else, or would he be the only one different? Was the Second Dimension fused with the Negaverse and other "opposite" dimensions? In either case, it sounds like it'd be a more militant and overtly ruinous "corp war" scenario rather than the tense equalibrium seen in DoofQuest.

I would workshop the idea more, but I think it can go places! If you need folks to bounce ideas off of, feel free to try to main DVV Discord.

I probably wouldn't have the 2nd Dimension be mixed in with the other opposite universe since it really isn't an opposite universe. Things are different yeah but morality and stuff like thatisn't reversed, at least not for most stuff.

And thanks for the encouragement! I might try to jump onto the discord soon.

Honestly, Doof-2 being in open war with ND (after all, that duck is from this/a similar "bad universe"), FutureTense!Xanatos, Stitchverse!Shego and others might actually be an interesting premise, if done properly.

Having the Xanatos Program and Dictator Shego being the enemies of Doof-2 actually was an idea I thought up too.

You could use Coyote-X, the true realization of the "digital Xanatos" predicted in Future Tense.

Also, here is that invite to the server. Good for a week.

...believe it or not I also considered using Coyote-X too.

Cursed Inator idea I had that kind of got out of control:

Fursuit-inator: Honestly, you don't know why you made this Inator. With the large amount of meaningful interactions with intelligent animals in your life, it honestly could of been for any reason. Whatever the case, now everyone is stuck dressed as technicolored fauna for two months, which certainly puts a damper on any stealth plans anyone had. Though, now that you think of it, there are ways to take advantage of the situation...

All hero units across all factions are stuck wearing a fursuit this turn, giving them a temporary -20 Intrigue malus due to the garish costume... by default. At the start of the turn, each unit rolls d100 to determine their fursuit's "Uniqueness Factor," with higher numbers indicating commonness. Rolling 50 or below does nothing; however, rolls above 50 gradually reduces the malus as the suit's commonness allows the wearer to more easily impersonate someone else, with the malus outright negated at 81 and above. In addition, if a unit rolls above 90, the resulting suit ends up being fairly realistic looking, allowing the unit to take a Personal Action to convert the suit into a piece of equipment that grants the wearer +15 Intrigue when dealing with areas with large amounts of anthro animals and +5 for rolls related to undercover work. Otherwise, all fursuits will cease to exist after the turn's end, preventing long term infiltrations. Kings, who generally take a more backseat approach to Intrigue, only have the malus applied when going on Quests; otherwise, they are unaffected baring an above 90 roll.
