AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH This is what I was trying to get at by having hr mess around in LA. GDI

Also uggghh, it mostly looks like all "Exposing Hawk" did was get rid of Hawk as a unit for Doom. This would be helpful if he was actually a trusted or important part of Doom's system, and is much less so when he already had one foot out the door. Unless that interlude is really really nice, I'm gonna say we might as well give up on actually dedicating any serious effor to combating Doom, the window of opprotunity is going, going gone.
Give up? Nah. Doom won't shake us off that easy...
 
Well that was a decent turn all together. Kind sad that energy weapons only give -1 DC but well...thems the breaks I guess. Still I'm really looking forwards to these interludes.

Question in general, when we did a similar action before we got 2 heroes, TECHNOR and Mirage. Will we also get two heroes from this action or just one?
 
Say....with Hawk's action didn't working as intended and if Doom keep on pestering us in Rival Reports, maybe it's prime time we do assault a rival action. What do you say on 'Blast one of Doom's National Actions with Fireworks' by Kitsune sounds?

The issue is its probably impossible to get people to dedicate the time and actions needed to actually harm Doom, as opposed to happy-slapping him once in a while. Like Russ fucked with him that one time and Doom got maluses for offensive actions against us, but that doesn't really harm his existing power base at all, and the Cog rollout was delayed. Except both of those malus are gone now and we didn't really capitalize on them at all. Same for Hawk. Maybe exposing him a few turns ago when he was "fresh" would've been good, but we se from the Blot interlude he was pretty much already fired so honestly all we probably did was give Doom more reasons to fire the guy which again doesn't really hurt him!

We critted. So...Probably, yeah. Hell, it might be like that time where we get our pick of, like, 6 different heroes.

Losing his best Intrigue unit right when Blot is in his territory? Yeah, that's gonna leave a mark.

I'm down for it. We now have Janna back to do Occult and we have a lack of reasonable DC intrigue actions. Put Russ on the drug ring, Kitsune on fucking with Doom, free up Mirage to go do diplomacy or stewardship, free up more heroes in a knock on.
 
About the write in using kitsune, can we send Russ to assist her in that by using our second intrigue action?

Hawk was already being in the process of being replaced!

If we phrase it right so it can be illusion based Kitsune gets an additional +10.
I already made an action for that that you are free to use! :p

Siiggggh I'm just gonna cry in the corner and wonder if we actually can get intrigue focused sabotage a rival actions instead of it all being under the "assault a rival" martial. Lets see if any of you can get answers.
 
Technor mentioned how this could be detrimental for you and specifically pointed to how much negative attention you're getting from the government for declaring Doofania to be independent. You might have a few things to consider in the future.
NEVER! I have a dream, and I'm not letting reality stop me! Doofania's independence is the greatest and most special undertaking we could achieve, and I shall continue to strive for it!
 
With the exception of the magic action I can't help but feel like this turn was pretty meh

Yes we succeeded everything except the Spy action, which is probably the thing I personally most wanted to succeed, but all our rewards seem pretty sub par

Even Exposing Hawk doesn't seem to have had anywhere near the effect we were expecting and depending on what happens in the interlude might have been a complete waste

Wasn't there a corporate espionage action that might hurt our view of the public?

We are also getting the Mongolian Relic actions this turn. If Khan gets a situational bonus ala Feldrake and Chicken Itza, we could stick Kitsune on fucking with Doom, Khan on occult, do some more tech upgrading for Martial, and then give Janna a chance to actually study magic with Feldrake. Get that tasty Occult.

(Or we could send her on more quests. That'll never be a bad move, and if we get one for Marco from the Dickens this turn it's pretty much mandatory.)

We got a critical success on our magi defenses, and we now have at least a couple new Hero Units, one of whom is Wendy, and the others of whom are guaranteed good Stewardship heroes.

We can. That was what was asked, and Made in Heaven said yes to at least some kinds of sabotaging rivals being fine as write in intrigue actions.

I mean, I built my plan for synergy against Doom. You can't just expect to put one measley attack on a KING and expect it to do much. You need to hit hard from multiple different angles. Don't go halfway trying to damage a King and you expect large results.

I mean, there's a difference between expecting it to have a huge impact and expecting that revealing that one of his highest ranking subordinates has committed several crimes and having him arrested by the new competent police chief would have some impact on him and cause some negative PR
