Argh, this plan gives me everything I want except sending the Hawk out with a bang. I'm not sure if the reward is juicy enough but something tells me the opportunity will pass very soon.
Why? It has the highest chance for success. Besides, we've already got that covered with Ludivine and JumbaI disagree with using Lovemuffin's action for Lee industry. I think we should throw them at a science action.
Too limited. We need as many heroes as we can to put out the many fires that have sprung upDoes any plan have a Xanadu team yet? Or are we too limited on heroes right now?
I wanted to put LOVEMUFFIN on Lee Industries because Janus Lee may be locked behind them. We impressed them at the gala resulting the low DC. Getting him on side could alleviate our diplo hero clot.I disagree with using Lovemuffin's action for Lee industry. I think we should throw them at a science action.
Funny enough the movement already has one down to earth guy, so adding Goofy might not be as effective.
We obviously want this a lot, but also probably need to bring the DC down a notch. I wonder what would help with that? Maybe if each individual group was more organised, organising all of them would be easier? In that case, working on Genghis' integration with society might help.[ ] Reorganize your PMC
DC 170
Your PMC has grown ever since you first established it, with those troops from Mendel-Gruman, some actual Mongols, and whatever other recruits offered to sign up. You need to reorganize it into some distinct divisions to prevent confusion and even get some more things done!
(Reward: Second Martial action unlocked per turn)
This is pretty cool, but I think we ought to wait until we've finished domesticating larger dinos to take it, so that we don't have to take this a second time to deal with them.[ ] Dinosaur Cavalry
DC 85
Now that Jumba has bred out the instincts for dinosaurs to immediately turn on and eat their handlers, you had a brilliant idea! Why not use some for cavalry? How awesome would it be to have your PMC riding into battle on the backs of dinosaurs?! Unfortunately this will be a significant undertaking, given that nobody alive has ridden these things and you're pretty sure you can't turn to The Flintstones for help.
(Reward: Dinosaur cavalry unlocked)
I think we ought to take this. It was an option even before we got energy weapons, making this arguably two actions' worth of value.[ ] Build roof-mounted laser cannons
DC 105
Haven't you had enough of pigeons soiling all the landmarks in your lovely city? With these roof-mounted cannons no pigeon shall ever feel safe again! And it'll give you some anti-aircraft capabilities on top of that! Now that you've researched energy weaponry, you can have laser turrets on top of every building!
(Reward: Increased DC for any hostile forces making an attack against Doofania)
We pretty much have to take this, this turn.[ ] Campaign Against the SRA
DC 85 (Reduced by Supers knowledge)
With Kronos dead and gone, super crime on the rise, and no easy solution in sight, there's a real sense, at least in the West, that the time for Capes to come back into the light is now. Considering how Doom has been painting you as not doing enough to help Supers, it might be a good idea to join in on the movement before the next election cycle, which will probably decide the issue. Or would that just be playing into his hands? Well, it'll probably at least get you some goodwill in the Super community, and maybe make them more willing to work with you.
It's time to actually reach out and say hello to Shego. Friendly relations with a neighbour means we can be relatively sure they won't cause trouble for us.[ ] Reach out to Shego
DC 40
Most Hated- er, Greatest Rival Shego has actually proven pretty amenable to working with you. Or at least, a lot more than you expected. Perhaps having a respected challenger at your back who you can count on to face you in honorable evildoing might be a good thing to have while you deal with all the less reputable evil out there?
(Reward: Establish contact with Shego, ???)
I think if we don't take this, Doom is going to call us out, even if we support repealing the SRA. That's probably his trap.[ ] Rebrand Insuricare's anti-Super Policies
DC 95
It has come to your attention that Insuricare, one of your own subsidiaries, continues to operate in an intensely anti-super manner; charging their customers extra for 'super insurance', lobbying the US for stringent anti-hero laws, and so on. This will not do, not with everything Doom is trying to pin on you. Pro-SRA rhetoric is firmly entrenched at Insuricare, so this will be quite an undertaking, but it is possible.
(Reward: Significant loss of income, increased reputation with supers)
This will help with moving Doofhawk, which we want, and will likely have other effects elsewhere.[ ] Comedize your supply line
DC 100
Coyote figured out that the trick to taking advantage of ACME's Express Delivery service is to incorporate comedy! Unfortunately this is going to take some doing, since there isn't very much humor in moving supplies from place to place, and the Toonforce is notoriously unreliable.
(Reward: Moderate income increase, Moving Castle Doofhawk DC reduced)
We should probably buy the Commodore's attentions for this. It's important, to both us and Janna. Also, it's a pretty solidly "not evil" job to help shave the Dickens' opinion of us.[ ] Look for Star and Marco
DC ???
Janna's elusive friends have been on the run for a couple years now, and you did promise her that you'd start to look for them... but you're not sure where to start. Gather some information from Janna and get to searching- the 'devil girl' did make waves in Doofania a few months back, so maybe that's a good place to start?
Reward: ???
I kind of want to do this? It's probably unlocking a Hero unit for recruitment, and just seems neat.[ ] Investigate Orton Mahlson
DC 120
So Mirage has come to you with a rather unusual observation. Orton Mahlson, the actor who has portrayed the famous Sci-Fi character Dr. Zone for over 60 years, still looks basically the same as he did back when he started. This is strange, to say the least, and it might be worth looking into how exactly this has happened. It's probably not top of your to do list but hey, who knows what you might find?
Reward: Discover the secret of Orton Mahlson; ???
I don't really care about subverting Hawk. This is both loses him for Doom and does a lot of damage on top. What's not to like?[ ] Send Hawk out with a bang- Hawk is on the outs with Doom, and has failed spectacularly as a spymaster. Russ expects Hawk to be fired any day now. You could give him something really spectacular to be fired for.
Reward: Doom is hit with one final grand misdirection before Hawk is fired.
I want Jumba on this. I bet there's a lot of useful applications here, but of particular interest to me is that GalFed must have some pretty awesome translation software to function as a cross-species polity, which would be great for decoding the Odd Transmission to our North.[ ] Survey GalFed Ship
DC 100
Your away team in Hawaii managed to capture a Galactic Federation vehicle completely intact. While Jumba told you there was no hyperdrive on board, you're pretty sure that there's a wealth of other technologies just waiting to be exploited. Send someone to analyze the thing and get started!
(Reward: Research options unlocked)
The march to better AI must be unceasing! If it's not, we should bloody well stop stringing Norm along.[ ] Research Robo-Doppelganger AI
DC 110
You have to admit it- you're impressed by Syndrome's research into AI. Sinatron, even as megalomaniacal as he was, seems to have sidestepped all the problems you and other companies have had with the concept. The emotions he was broadcasting didn't feel forced or tacked on, he was capable of quick reasoning and logical deduction, and based on the way he talked Gwen into giving up information, he was able to read people well enough to attempt diplomacy.
(Rewards: Robo-Doppelganger AI more closely understood, DC for future AI upgrading decreased, option to build robo-doppelganger personalities)
We want this, but probably need someone actually good at Occult for it.[ ] Form a Coven
DC 120
At some point, it might be a good idea to create some sort of organized structure to your various spellslingers. As is, you're doing things pretty bespoke. Throw together a coven, or a circle, or a bogwarts, or whatever you call an organized group of mages.
Reward: Second Occult action unlocked, Court Wizard council position unlocked
This seems like the best option with a reasonable DC?[ ] Research alchemy
DC 75
Great Grunkle Malifishmirtz left you some of his old alchemy notes, which are only mostly readable after you've translated them out of Latin. At first glance, alchemy seems similar to chemistry but with a much more mystical lean to it. You know practically nothing about it, but maybe you can figure something out on your own? You do have an example of an actual, functioning potion now, so that might make it easier.
(Reward: ???)
WoG is that Doom is keeping Hawk on for a few turns. I definitely want to send Hawk out with a bang next turn!Argh, this plan gives me everything I want except sending the Hawk out with a bang. I'm not sure if the reward is juicy enough but something tells me the opportunity will pass very soon.
I do agree that looking into Goofy is important, but I'm also thrilled by the idea of installing Roger as mayor of LA. It's difficult to get that ball rolling without Roger on-side. Conversely, we don't have a long-term plan waiting in the wings for Goofy, so I'd put that off until next turnI like this plan... but a few comments (and more may come later)
I think Roger could be delayed one turn to talk to Goofy. If we're lucky we could also get rid of that permanent -5 loyalty modifier. Plus he has been here the longest so it could be nice to get his perspective on what has changed so far.
I don't see which action she's working on here
Yes, and there are still more actions we can take that neither of the mentioned heroes are doing.Why? It has the highest chance for success. Besides, we've already got that covered with Ludivine and Jumba
I just think they're not going to have a place when we start doing stuff with Dino Calvary. Why need cars when we have dinosaurs and spaceships?I wanted to put LOVEMUFFIN on Lee Industries because Janus Lee may be locked behind them. We impressed them at the gala resulting the low DC. Getting him on side could alleviate our diplo hero clot.
That's true. We have 3 time-sensitive personals right now that need to get done. Next turn the spellbook should be finished, and tinkering with inators shouldn't be outright needed because no P&F, plus hopefully paying for the commodore shouldn't be needed again either.Conversely, we don't have a long-term plan waiting in the wings for Goofy, so I'd put that off until next turn
We could also have her hire more talent? That seems like a good use of her action if we don't have anything pressing to put her on. Lots of fun units we don't have time to bring on board.Assuming we reassign Goofy to SRA and don't do Insuricare for financial reasons I would suggest either having Mirage do Lee Industries, though LOVEMUFFIN can probably handle that, or Dino Entertainment to counter the Income hit we'll take from the Commodore
Dinosaurs and spaceships are sexy but not very fuel-efficient. They're both tools for very specific tasks. Mass transit however requires vehicles that can run 24/7 in urban and rural environments, as well as be refueled relatively easily.Yes, and there are still more actions we can take that neither of the mentioned heroes are doing.
I just think they're not going to have a place when we start doing stuff with Dino Calvary. Why need cars when we have dinosaurs and spaceships?
True... although it is tempting to totally crash our income getting Commodore to wipe out our intrigue actions for us.That's true. We have 3 time-sensitive personals right now that need to get done. Next turn the spellbook should be finished, and tinkering with inators shouldn't be outright needed because no P&F, plus hopefully paying for the commodore shouldn't be needed again either.
So we will have the available personal action slots for Goofy to be included next turn.
Well, let's see. Options, alphabetically, of plausible Disney Doctors capable of being both alive and able to help treat mental health issues. I'm leaving out obvious rejects like Fozzie (plays one on TV but his laughter may not be the best medicine), Doctor Strange (in medicine, but in Marvel and not Disney-setting-compliant), and Doctor Diente (suitably villainous, but a dentist, not a psych doctor.) Someone more in the know may be interested in filtering this list down to things that are actually viable and reasonable and worth going after.
Drop the evil and we can use D.I.G. as the acronym. It's a fitting one too given we'll be digging ourselves into debt. Also, Insurance is evil by default so it's a bit of a oxymoron to have both.
I find this plan very agreeable! One thing I would say is that you could squeeze in You Made Me Love Xanadu on top of this by assigning Temujin and a few other heroes to round out his skillset. Goofy and Max going with Ghengis Khan on a road trip to Xanadu would be hilarious and I'd do everything in my power to make it possible.
They're not fuel-efficient because we have not sunk into recycling programs or Flubber tech at which point mass transit doesn't need to be a car. It just needs to be efficient.fuel-efficient. They're both tools for very specific tasks. Mass transit however requires vehicles that can run 24/7 in urban and rural environments, as well as be refueled relatively easily.
Well yeah. You already said that. It is literally energy for an energy production company, and you didn't mention Toons. I was adding on to the synergy of it, not stating "this is totally the only thing that option could do." I even mentioned selling the excess power to other regions in a later post.not just toons it's free energy that we can export to the rest of the world.
We won't be bankrupt by going into negatives. We'll just need to make more money before we can spend it again.What's the most popular? And don't vote lightly: I've played Monopoly enough times to know that bankruptcy is not a laughing matter
This is the only plan that have the most options I wanted. The only thing I had problems with are Technor. Can you reassign him from Janna to Stanley? She is in a good environtment to start getting better by herself without therapy. She have new friends, surrounded by things she likes, knows she is safe, and knows that solutions are being done to her issues. Stanley meanwhile had been in prisons for months.Plan: I Have the Honor to be Your Benevolent Overlord, H. Doof
Hm - maybe! I could swap Khan out for Lizzy and still try for dino cavalry. Bugs and reptiles share like 80% of their DNA, right? If there's popular support in the thread for this, I'd give it my rubber stamp. If not, I definitely see the benefit in Janna amping up her Occult skill before the quest.I find this plan very agreeable! One thing I would say is that you could squeeze in You Made Me Love Xanadu on top of this by assigning Temujin and a few other heroes to round out his skillset. Goofy and Max going with Ghengis Khan on a road trip to Xanadu would be hilarious and I'd do everything in my power to make it possible.
Oh, and I'll throw all of my XP I can the actions for this round. Gotta spend it at some point, so why not now?
