Both Volkites in the equipment tab say, (Requires Great Crusade-Era Techmarine), and there was a mention in the relevant chapter that the newbies were not taught on Mars.
Both of the Forge worlds would basically give you a blank check for the technology and it would boost their relationship a lot. The problem is that however you didn´t give that technology (Or gave it second) would probably do something drastic.
Karark Zel lacks the knowledge for that.
About what I expected. If/when we release the technology to the Two Twatworlds, we must give it to both if we want to prevent antipathy from turning to outright hatred.
We are already suding with Smilnay. There's no point in giving it to Milan. They will hate us anyway. Better to improve the relationship and stabding of the one we are actually working with and let them subsume Milan somewhere down the road.
Returning the Volkite data to one of them (Smilnay) will increase their prestige and popularity to the point where they will gradually subsume the other after some time (Decades? Centuries?).
Or, we can...just not...follow in the footsteps of that shitbag Curze and deal with all annoying social situations like they are moles to be whacked.
Looks at Warhammer 40k
This whole screed? This is why I'm bringing Curze into it.
Wow man.
Is just weirdly personal imo.
That it might cause certain issues. Even used "likely" in the other because it's not a certainty.
Any chance we can get the Angels Crusader in on this? Fighting alongside each other is a good way to improve relations, and I want to do as much of that as possible before Gerard de Lusignan takes over from Baldwin.
You can try, but with you deciding not to send anyone to the First and Fifteenth Deployment options, there is going to be a malus in asking that. On the other side, you can ask people to send them assistance, if you want to foster the spirit of jolly cooperation.
Um you do know we can WAIT right? Don't think anyone was actually proposing we give it out right this moment. We kept it a secret for seven turns already which is like 35 years it can wait a few more decades.
I legitimately don't see how it could escalate to any significant degree at this point in time. Tech priests from the opposing worlds literally kill each other on sight. I suppose they could attack other Imperial factions that do business with their rival, but that would lead to severe retaliation by the other factions in the Sector. It's stayed at this level for millennia. Why should it change now?
I was wondering what bugged me about the plan, but I found it and fixed it. Now everything is alright again.
Assuming of course that they're not fighting the Thousand Sons for any sus reasons... such as wanting to interrogate a sorcerer for information about the Fallen.
Or we just... don't? Volkites are nice but they're not suddenly going to make one Forge World start winning against the other, regardless of whether or not the Aetelian Sector is completely peaceful. What it will do is probably make the cold war between Smilnay and Milan go completely hot, and that will probably cause horrific damage not just to one another but to the entire Sector as they call in all kinds of favors and allies against one another. And the guys who gave one Forge World access to Volkite technology (that's us) will probably be specifically targeted by the other as a punitive measure.
It would probably change if suddenly Volkite tech, which is the thing this whole feud started over, was accessible again to one or the other. But so long as we keep our mouths shut, it's unlikely that we'll have to deal with a full blown Aetelian Sector civil war or something.
Also an option. We just have to keep in mind that we more or less already picked a side once this turn is over. This gives Smilnay a political advantage within the sector and in regards to whatever politics are played within the AdMech.
We haven't picked a side in any serious sense yet. We're requesting some vehicles from Smilnay, which is known to not be Milan's specialty, and crucially we've not done anything to help them. If we wanted to, we could go to Milan next turn and go "Look that was just a one time thing, I'd love to have your services, Thomas." To get in the good graces of a Chapter Master they'd likely let it slide so long as that doesn't become a habit. As the leader of a Space Marine Chapter, we have the privilege of making direct requests for supplies to any planet we choose, and though they can refuse, it would not be looked upon well to leave the Emperor's Angels of Death high and dry, so it's not like Smilnay is going to have us actually do something for them in order to get stuff, at least right now.
"Oh, these? We recovered a whole bunch of them from a Great Crusade-era transport vessel during a deployment. When the Chapter Master heard, he figured they were a gift from the Emperor, meant to arm the leadership of the Chapter. Where was said deployment? Alas, certain individuals of an Inquisitive bent have made it clear that such information should not spread. Don't ask me why though, as I have no idea. I really am truly sorry".
We should probably wait a few turns though before talking with Milan, so it's clear we aren't trying to play both sides.
I considered that excuse as well, but we don't want those two Forges going on a Great Volkite hunt in Luctus. That seems like it could end badly for all involved.
