King Arthur and Mordred are waking up (turn 10 I think) and will try to conquer everything. Arthur's a jerk and Mordred's even worse. Merlin's waking up too and he probably isn't very friendly either.
Things were put in potion before Dace was even born. Best you can do is ride the wave anf wait until everything's over. S'why I gave you Rampart to begin with, best defensive units of all game, plus, enough spammability that army killers won't be enough to keep you down.
I was referring to gameplay. Overlord of destruction is 'destroy everything', overlord of domination is 'enslave everything'. Also, yes. But they're still in prologue phase.
I'm not sure if Oliver would be able to protect Chibi from other factions more than Dace could. Even if he were to leave and create his own faction. Especially if creating a new faction made him more visible.
And I'm not sure how well Dace would take it if the Granddaughter he created to replace his daughter also abandoned him. Combined with Chibi probably going in hiding and our subsequently not knowing if Oliver gets ganked(unless we kept tabs on them nonstop) we might need to make Cherry's chosen our heir if he does that kind of shit to us.
It won't work on curing the heartbreak. QM said there's something preventing it. I'm not sure what I'd use another MP on right now. But I'm sure we'll do something awful and need an MP to fix it by the time we get another one.

Rumor Mill :
[] Panic at the Ministry (Welsh) : Elizabeth is currently in Cardiff, smoothing things over with the government because your building an army didn't escape their notice, and she decided it would be a good idea to keep the Welsh division of the ministry off your back (4)
[] Panic at the Ministry (Irish) : Ireland sure is nice at this time of the year, and lack of alarminf reports from that side truly were a blessing. Recently though, Dace received word suspicious groups were milling about. Might want to do something about that.(81)
[] Panic at the Ministry (British) : Dace has been summon by the English Ministry of Magic about his involvement with Rufus Scrimgeous. Lucius merely snorted and told him not to go, as it was most likely a move to turn him into a scapegoat of sorts.(20)
Graduation :
Dace was discussing the new graduated of this year with the one he hired to act as director, when they arrived at a certain name. Julian Dukas looked like he was quite the character. Failed the entrance exam twice before finally being admitted, had to retake first and third year, his grades showed slow improvement over the years for his results to finally show and for him to end up the first ranker at the final exams.
Evaluations revealed that the man had little next to no talent for Diplomacy, contrary to his high ability for combat, economy and research, but he managed to graduate through sheer hard work and pig-headedness.
His personality was noted as boisterous but good-natured, though slightly full of himself and always reaching for a higher spot, be it in the rankings or at his part time job.
Dace decided he wanted to see the man for himself, and a few minutes later, he appeared. He had black hair and eyes, visible muscles and tanned skin, but what stood out the most about him was his size. The man was a giant. Well over 8 feet of height. Thus Dace has to know. As he oopened his mouth, the other man raised his hand, before putting his hands on his hips proudly.
"I am 8 feet, 2,8 Inches tall, and yes, this" one of his hands indicated himself "Is fully, one hundred percent human. Not an ounce of extraneous fat, and I've taken my shots regularly."
Dace had no idea what the man was saying at this point, but the other one didn't let him speak.
"Now, why should you hire me, you say? Well, that's simple. You suck at talking to people, and your illustrious ex-wife – Why in the world would you let go of her is beyond me- is too busy taking care of the waves you cause to do the talking for you."
The older wizard was beginning to get irritated, but a snap of fingers distracted him yet again.
"I know, I know, this is not fully your fault." The black eyes scanned him for a moment and Dace had to check for Legilimency, but found none. " After all..." He trailed off, giving his words a dramatic effect. "Hm, I'm going to hazard a guess and say you have HBS." Dace was sure he didn't show anything, but the man simply smiled. " So it was. As usual, nothing escapes my eyes, ha ha!"
Well, this man was a character alright.
The question was, did Dace want him anywhere near Urie? The druid may very well actively try to kill himself after a conversation.

I would really like to see a few of these in a plan. Seems to me they would be useful long term.
The Ministry is controlled by death, so lets not go there and take cover actions instead. We are hiring the new guy, and keep Elizabeth for another turn. I fear we have to talk to people this turn so having Julian following us seems like a good idea, specifically if the Ministry comes knocking.Having slandering the new head of the ministry, because it will make him look bad. He is still quite young ( I think), and might want to take it out on us as a show of power.
Changed Elizabeth to spy mistress so we can spy on the Overlord and succeed on Rufus SL -
On stewardship I want to build the workshop because we need it, and use the personal action on finding a new area for a base, because that's something I want to focus on next turn. Martial I got looking for artifacts, because we need more things. Learning: Spending one action on investigating the place we found the nature Anchor. Its worth a try. Deja Vu because it might help us against divine interference, or at least listening to those bastards talk. Mysticism: Nexus synergy and investigating the state of our body. We need to know more about HBS for future plotting against it. Nexus is useful, I think. Personal: Talking to people, with our new talk guy to help us. Its the one I consider the most relevant right now, and the ones who can give us information about what is happening around us.

A couple of questions:
1) Changing into Rampart again, what influence does it have on the path of my Hydras.
2) Slughorn, are we getting points from him this turn.
3) How does the digging up secret action work
4) Do we still have that tracker or something on Alfie after last time we did an action on her?
5) I voted creating an SL and Sl action with Urie. Can I do that.
Taking Lucius's advice to not show up in London. Fountain on Chibi, Hire new diplomacy advisor, and switch Elizabeth to Intrigue effective immediately.
Diplomacy: Julian on social interaction damage control. Bolster reputation of Dace and slandering the new minister of magic controlled by mummy.
Stewardship: Finally build the workshop and use a personal action to take starting the village. Buying a province can wait until next turn. Trade for wood needed, and sell some materials to make sure we have plenty of cash. I tried to make sure we wouldn't have to buy anything besides wood when building things next turn.
Martial: Buy dwelling for swamp bulls, security staff because of the squirrel mafia the chaos overlord has recruited, and send Urie to assist with searching dragon utopia for shinies.
Intrigue: Plot against death faction. 2nd and 3rd action on trolling & matchmaking rampage because apparently it's really powerful and the only ally we have left is Dumbledore so friendly fire won't happen (we aren't friendly with dad). Also, we might get an empathy skill boost.
Learning: Amnesia to counter whatever Ceridwen did. Dragon utopia for shinies. Hives would get the Overlord doing a smash and grab on us which we really do not want.
Mysticism: Draining the swamp is a lie. The three nexus actions synergize into an autopass. I'm taking all three.
Personal: SL meetings with everyone we have an SL with except Rufus (who's taking a vacation in Africa) and Lily and one to get a stewardship action.
[X] Plan: Drain the Swamp
