I though I'd make a list of our priorities going into next turn, ordered by how urgent they are, and with the relevant actions to address them. Entries in each category aren't in any particular order
Critical:
- The Council - Action Economy is king, and we might need to spend another action or two here for a martial/occult advisor or establishing the council.
- Follow up on anti-Doom intrigue - We've already started to act against Hawk, now we need to keep up the pressure or turn him before he notices us or gets axed by Doom. We might also want Wile E to look through ACME records for some evidence against Doom.
- Act against the SRA - With Doom's diplomatic attack and all the others already acting against it, we can't get away with just one action for this. Some combination of Campaign Against SRA, Restructure Insuricare, Social Media, and Reach Out to Shego is necessary.
- Investigate Toffee - We know OOC that he's out to destroy humanity, but the sooner we get actual evidence, the sooner we can start to set the other kings against him
Time Sensitive:
- Prepare for the Auction - Not much more we can do, but getting an occult stat is necessary (1-2 personal actions), and recruiting Kitsune or having Janna Study With Feldrake will certainly help.
- Goofy's Secrets - Next turn is tough with some high DC diplo actions, but we're still on a timer here. Will take Talk To The Bossman and personal actions from Goofy and Max.
- Recruit Stanley - He's a good quality hero, and the benefits of the crit on Lizzy won't last forever. Requires Psychoanalyze.
- Find Star and Marco - The more we wait the colder the trail gets. The tarot readings on this are bad, but should still try. Takes an intrigue action, possibly augmented by dimensional tech.
- Janna's Mental Health - Tarot suggests this is worse than we think. Requires Psychoanalyze.
- AI Progress - We just got access to the grid, we have AUTO to the east and Drosel to the north, and we still have two more AI learning actions to do. We should also pick up Wendy, since a diplomacy/AI specialist Hero is perfect for this stuff.
Important:
- Energy War - Worth tons of income and public approval. We'll need to choose between Flubber (Set Wendy on Flubber PR, then solve energy forever), Fusion (a ton of actions, and we're 2 behind Khan), or the Galfed mystery box.
- Foothold in the Grid - Thanks to DoofOS and Princess Java, we have most of what we need to get a foothold in the grid. Gets us AI refuges and resistance to MCP and Candy's attacks. Probably at least 2 actions (research laser, fortify DoofOS space)
- Khan Modernization - Khan has some really bad traits, the more of his personals we spend, the sooner we get rid of them.
- Xanadu and Donald Quest - More Khan DNA, more occult treasure, more Donald leads. Needs Kahn, Janna, and one other high quality unit.
- Basic Diplomacy - We really should open relations with the more reasonable kings.
- Galfed Tech - Literally just one action, will probably lower some DCs, and lets us know what the most advance faction are using for energy
- Uncle Malfy - Occult Hero, random even artifact, and a cool castle. One action to move the castle, at least one more to recruit.
I love the summary. I'm going to address a few points
Council: Agreed! Hopefully some actions to form the council will come up soon
Anti-Doom: I'm intrigued (no pun intended) by the idea of installing Roger as mayor, but that requires a
lot of data on Doomtown. Let's figure out what crime is up to.
Prepare for auction: I definitely think Janna should study with Feldrake, both for the auction and Xanadu. That's not including all the rolls I'm sure we'll be putting her on in future.
Goofy's Secrets: Too much of diplo pinch this turn, but I'm hoping to pick up Janus Lee this turn to ease the burden for next turn.
Recruit Stanley: There's been mentioning that he'll be released eventually. When this happens, I'd rather snap up his company to get an income boost and the tech in one fell swoop. I can't imagine he and Lizzy will work well together even after their healing.
Janna's Mental Health: 100% agree. The next few months will be very hard on her.
I agree almost universally, though I'd like to hear whether folks think the GalFed ship or Interdimensional Travel is more pressing.
