@Trondason: Mercy's new trait gives +10 though, so having her involved makes it very unlikely we'll fail. Plus, having Karl involved means he'll be hugely inspired by the possibilities Human/Plant Integration provides regarding his Bone Formula.

Also I doubt Darkseid will let his agents get destroyed (also their leaders hate us and want to make us pay so even if Darkseid is not a factor they still have good tech)

Darkseid is not involved with Intergang yet but they still have access to super advance tech and they won't take your interference lying down. Intergang has plenty of secrets right now and they are not things you want to get blindsided by when dealing with them.

The yet is the important part we need to destroy them quickly (no helping Darkseid like some idoits)

Roxanne+Cassandra is not that good of a intrigue team. +36.2. I wouldn't be surprised if they missed Woodrue's hypothetical moles, and even on a success Woodrue is still out there doing something. Something we got cause to be concerned about, WoG.

How about this, Cassandra+Roxanne+Mercy track down Woodrue, +57+10. Luthor+Pamela+Rebecca+Karl = +87.65 to get Integration. (Might drop Karl, the bonus to average outcome he gives is kinda small, given him giving us one fewer reroll)

Well, this can be decided during the hero vote phase. But here are my thoughts on this.

+36.2(37) Is a good bonus for a 42DC action that has no horrible consequences for a minor fail.

Dropping Karl isn't something I'd consider doing because
1) He'll learn a lot for his own project.
2) Rolling something like 5 and failing will be very-very unpleasant. And Karl prevents that.
3) We want to improve coop between Luthor and Karl for an action. Good coop between Karl and Pamela is also very useful
4) Karl being there will give more options too chose from

So, yes, having 3 heroes without Karl will result in higher average roll, but those 4 reasons outweigh it for me.

But I do see merits for having Rebecca instead of Mercy in the plant-human integration action because 1) Adding magic in this may be helpful for additional options. 2) Rebecca has 0.9 coop with Luthor, bumping their score to 1.0 means +1 action 3) Her showing Karl that magic can be useful and improving their coop will be useful for using them together in various body-enchanting magic researches later.

Also, Mercy is the head of security... She should participate in such actions as finding moles

So I like your hero distribution there. To make it real enough people need to agree

1) Vote for human-plant integration
2) Vote for plugging the leaks
3) Don't vote for research magic\demonology or other action that ties Rebecca to it
4) Don't vote for any other high DC important action that requires Lex or strong team

I will do all of that in my vote. Also, unless we'll have some emergency use for Pamela next turn(unlikely), I am absolutely fine assigning her to research the antidote in the turn after the next.

Given that we took care of all the criminals, but intergang makes them more of a threat to me. They're currently disorganized, but their leadership is untouched and they just became the only criminal organization in town.
 
hey @King crimson got another write in
[ ] A family matter
At Bruce Wayne's party Katherine voiced her concerns that her Uncle was meeting with suspicious people. As Philip Kane is the current CEO of Wayne enterprises this could warrant investigation
 
Welp, I have finally finished getting all the stats for Earth 27 characters up so feel free to check that out. Now I just have to add something like fifty more options to the next action phase. Progress is being made ladies and gentlemen (and whatever else you might be).

You need to go to Gotham to investigate this so it was folded under that action. Thus the action is rejected.

that's fair hey sorry if this questions been asked but does the study of genetics fall under the study Biology option?
 
Actions that I want to go for this turn (before I see the updates)

[ ] Research integrating human and plant biology
[ ] Plug the leaks
I want those to be our high impact actions to use many heroes on it. Integrating human and plant biology is rather easy to do. We can get a legit less crazy Poison Ivy or some other good things this way.

[ ] Fortify LexCorp tower
Good job for Katherine

[ ] Renovate LexCorp Tower
Has synergy with one above. Can't fail. May use Mari for it, decorating buildings isn't exactly what fashion designers do but it is close.

[ ] Build Katherine Kane living quarters in LexCorp towers
Intergang hates her. I prefer her in a safer place. Has synergy with two actions above

[ ] Build an airport
Airport can serve as a base our future hidden airforce. It is a very good job for Carol

[ ] Learn about computers
We are lagging behind. Unacceptable. Also may reduce DC for A.M.A.Z.O and\or building a supercomputer

[ ] Improve weapons
Good low DC research, I want to do this before doing a rearming of LexCorp action next turn

[ ] Hire Ex-Cons
We should have done that a long time ago. It is only 11DC

[ ] Give bonuses to employees
Improving internal morale is important

[ ] Have an interview with Vicki Vale
Need to do this before we give an interview to Lois

[ ] The A.M.A.Z.O. project
Mandatory action is mandatory



@King crimson, I heard you have too few actions to add? Here are two other write-ins

[] Buy a supercomputer from Kord Communications
[] Steal industrial secrets from Kord Communications

Also, a question, does Carol trait apply to the build an airport?

Whoo more write-ins clearly 50+ new actions was not enough. So Kord actually doesn't have the specs for a supercomputer (they just make better regular computers) but I can add them to the list of companies you can sabotage/work with etc.

So that's another option and 100 exp.

Update might be a little late cause of all the things I need to add

Will [ ] Plug the leaks action cause penalty for Cassandra as an action that requires talking?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Yes. Cassandra would quite easily interpret the order as "Make people be quiet" which is really really dangerous when she lacks the nuance to understand what leaking information is and how you should handle that without resorting to violence. Talking is required for leaks to effectively be plugged without you murdering or maiming a bunch of people and then threatening them into silence (and even that can be argued requires talking). If the nice way of plugging leaks fails though you can have Cassandra kindly play the breaking game with your soon to be ex-employees.
