Honestly, given the size of spaceship in 40k just about all of them should have their own gods and so forth.
Well that charm requires an Essence 5 god which means about 100,000 crew. Thats not impossible. For a Human ship. But kinda high for most Dragon King ships. Its also ridiculously draining, it would only be useful in conjunction with other stuff that might be overwhelmed by a wyld surge/warp storm.
Of course the idea that a Dragon King Battleship could potentially ignore a warp storm is impressive in its own right.
So guys, what's your opinion/ theory on the astronomy stuff? It says there will be a countdown, but to what?
To being able to use it. You are in another world and stars are not right. You need to build up context (and sheer learning where the stars are). So its takes a while having an observatory online before you can even start Divining with Astrology again.
Captial ships should be large enough to have actual geomancy right?
Big enough ones sure. 5km or bigger and it would almost have to have a manse. Skilled Dragon King Geomancers can manage it with a smaller ship, especially ones equipped with geomantic relays.
The Dragon kings a divined something than the people who had access to that room couldn't. Not just access but limited administrative access as well. They could end up anywhere between as good as the eldar to better than the Blue Oyster.
There is a reason I keep bringing up there skill with Astrology being only barely surpassed by Geomancy when they are literally making customized city foundation manses of incredible sophistication (they are literally worth like 30+ points out of an available 15) in only a season or two and not doing any astrology.
Enchanting unbreakable glass for thousands of glassy towers, alchemical shrubbery producing tons of literally magic potion, taming and breeding dinosaurs. All that is the stuff they are only so-so at. Geomancy and Astrology are their good skills by far.
And some times prophetic readings only reveal something like "IT HUNGERS!" or "The monster is here."
But honestly knowing something like that is close enough to screw up your readings is still more info then non seers/astrologers get.
We should focus on making a court for the Elementals, they are our heavy lifters when it comes to labor. Giving them that recognition should go over well. It will also make it more worth it to do the next tier of elemental summoning, which is far better.
True and you would probably do a better job of it then they will for themselves if they just copy the terrestrial god courts like they did in Canon.
Also scary realization. Elementals are new enough that none have become Dragons yet. Which means there is no Kukla or Gardulis. Or to be more accurate, Kukla just helped you build some forts.
