Prototype Plan based off Current Concerns:
-Martial: Rent PMC/Black Ops
-Diplomacy: Olympia Collab (Good vs. Evil Branding War?)
-Diplomacy: ____________
-Stewardship: Collaborate with Bellewhether
-Stewardship: AI/Dinoparks/Retreat
-Extra Action: Stewardship (_____________)
-Intrigue: Who's Who in the Franchise Wars
-Intrigue: Sleeper Agents (Sycorax)
-Learning: Greco-Roman Terraforming
-Learning: Other-Dimensioninator/Dinos
-Occult: ____________
-Occult: ____________
(Technor/Gomez/Juniper) Black Ops needs to be our option for Martial just due to our hero cap being at 28/30 where we intend to recruit an occult character at minimum no matter what. We need hero balls unlocked. For funds, we're having the income refill turn coming up soon so that isn't a major concern.
(Cruella + Kermit) For Diplomacy, we need to do the hats in some form. We don't want them to get any sort of major foothold and so prepping against that is common sense. The second Diplomacy action is fairly open honestly. Expanding into Japan (Done before the income refill and into the land of robots), Recruiting Gogo (As Fred can be grabbed via Russ personal), setting up a lobby (Since we will likely want it at some point and so getting it set up is useful), any franchise war actions that pop up, or any write ins that people really want to pursue.
(Roddy + Wasabi/Moseby if Diecast or Alan for Civvie) With stewardship we have one action tied up in the Bellweather Collab. Otherwise we need to do a advanced robotics field option for the second which is Civilian AI or Diecast Robotics. If we are doing it as the collab, we pick Diecast 100% of the time as its a harder DC to make, if putting the collab in Diplo or Intrigue we grab Civilian AI.
(Mez + Russ if back, otherwise Tobe) Intrigue is very dependent on if we get Russ back and if he's able to work. Since our main options this turn are Doofanian Underworld and Sycorax without him based on DC. With him back, we can start looking towards actually trying to do Negaduck on the limited timer we have. Murderous Toon likely will also unlock itself with bringing information but we probably should have Coyote do the ACME information personal this turn to give us more to work with before attempting it.
(Jumba + Wasabi/Lizzy) With Learning we're locked into GRT no matter what. And just for sheer DC reasons I believe we should be doing Dinos as our second, just so we aren't delaying both of our high DC Jumba actions this turn. This is over Genetics this turn since this allows us to be safe by continuing to make attempts at Dinos for Glomgold, while we can't actually make use of any newly opened genetics options the turn after this one. So doing Genetics second compared to Dinos should be fine.
(Kitsune + 1 of Tobe/Janna) Occult is locked in for searching for magical individuals and repairing the avatar of Felldrake. We need to recruit Occult characters to improve our weakest division and we need to repair the Avatar to reopen the questline + to prevent Felldrake from getting mad at us.
Extra actions with Monogram: If Monogram is around we have two options for what to do with him if he's available. Option 1 is we put him on ODI and our learning action econ becomes nicer as we can do Cure Genetic Diseases + Triangulation if it is in Learning (Otherwise probably Silphium) the turn after. Option 2 however, is we go for a double robotics turn. We put Monogram on the Diecast Robotics collab while putting Alan onto Civilian AI in an attempt to do them both in one turn. This is mainly only an option if we get a lot of stewardship based options for the franchise war and really need to try and get ahead imo.
While I like Split Second and think it is something we do want to do in the near future, I think it is less important to do this turn than unclogging our Stewardship or Learning with more important actions in terms of action econ.
Surely not so that we MIGHT get Kermit (who, while a funny character admittedly, isn´t THAT great stat-wise), right?
Admittedly, he is actually really good for someone to place on Diplomacy nationals, though I'm pretty sure that was somewhat unintentional.
