Well we probably will have 8 AP next turn, where with the stats and timings, I would prefer doing the two timed Monarch missions (Shroud and Third Person) and Demon Flamez due to it otherwise running out. This way, we can prepare for the Fellowship mission to be as safe as possible.
From there its a question of what we can realistically do with 3 AP. If the Yara or Noelle recruitments are only 1 AP then they take the spot over Making the Rounds as we could have an extra max tolerance character prepped by the Fellowship time, which could be very handy.
If they cost 2 AP however, they're competing with R-Train and Abarimon missions, for goldnine and anti Monarch/OID control respectively, I want to do Quick Gorilla for Maddie buffing so badly but both of those missions are kind of required. Where I'd still probably lean recruit but would see a pretty strong argument for doing the R-Train mission this turn too.

With so many time-limited missions, I feel like the only thing that'll get me to agree to R-Train next turn is if we find out relying on the goldnine supplier for the magical girls is too much of a liability.
Now I'm aware there's a difference between "Chance of eventually finding supplier of goldnine" and "Eventual chance of establishing permanent supply of goldnine". The latter is clearly better and it straight up means the supplier for the fake JU will not be able to provide much longer. It might also just mean that getting access to that supplier just gives us a flat number of goldnine right away rather than an actual supply.
What I mean by "too much of a liability" is that there may be too many demerits to it or we can only get it through difficult to fulfil conditions. Like say there's a catch to getting access to that supplier similar to how we didn't get +1 OID control on that Four Season mission since it's conditional and requires us to give in to Faust's demands (which we weren't gonna do)

This is fair for sure but I will admit that at least at the moment, our pool of limited time missions isn't super onerous? I have no doubt we'll be getting more and some things being at least 2 part questlines will potentially suck on that front, but we're gaining AP slowly but surely and have a path to make it through them pretty deeply.
And I'll admit while the goldnine supplier would be nice for sure, since a permanent supply implies that we won't need to pay or the like compared to whatever method the magical girl side would need. I am much more interested in the potential alliance with the R-Train honestly, as that seems like a good method to getting precautions and protection up and running as soon as possible.

How far off the rails are we compared to where you expected/planned us to be?

I was asking in general. If we know too much by only Issue 4, (turn 4,) then it seems we've learned a few secrets earlier than you expected us to.

It's more you know more about the missions than I expected, so it's changed how they've worked out. For example, New Dawn nearly being defunct was supposed to be a reveal, Four Seasons being a trap, etc.
In terms of world state, I thought you would miss out on two times missions, not just one.

People, I know talking to R-Train doesn't have any shinies associated with it, but in the boom town that is Horizon R-Train has a near monopoly on the gold mine and sits on it aggressively. When literally everything involves the Leviathan, we want the being with the actual physical control of the thing on our side. Hell, we know that R-Train was even in contact with Nora, so there's already an important precedent to cooperation.

It's less that "R-train doesn't look super shiny" which I definitely do not think that at all, and more "oh fuck so many fires where do I start before it creates more fires". I'd be more inclined to it at turn 5 but till then, unless extenuating circumstance occurs, I'm not as inclined next turn (which is turn 4)

I agree that we should at least try to talk with the R-train. If nothing else, it's still trying to keep the city from being flooded with goldnine, so of it winds up stumbling across our supplier and we don't have so!e sort of agreement with it...then whoops! There goes our supply most likely.

At the very least I wanna take a look at what we get this mission and what we're getting for its next one before I agree to take a stab at R-Train next turn

Hmm... yeah... im neutral in taking the R-Train mission next turn, but narratively making contact with the giant robot after discovering a different soirce of Goldnine would be fitting... also if I was an enemy and I somehow found out JU had a un observed goldnine supply that even R train didnt know about? I would just imply it near them and sit back to watch the fireworks. It could be false, it could be true. Sending a single drone that isnt doing much to verify would be easy. And if its True.... oh boy...
Edit: Especially with Crusade and our Rep hit every turn. That could honestly be a valid tactic to descritid us further.....

To be fair I was meaning portals could be used to get past the train with out it knowing you have goldnine
I Am campaigning we need to befriend the ape not only to save the ape children but getting a speedester would be helpful like for instance with a portal maker and that mission only requires Maddie so depending on set up we can send her a maybe one more hero.
See this why I feel we need to do the options to get us more heroes

Okay .... Assuming we... Carry need 5 turns to turn new heroes and high tolerance into 10th level potency heroes

I'm sorry, could you clarify? What would "carry" mean here?

Yeah, we've got small full synergy packages (the entire build is a synergy, Rhys-style) for low tolerance candidates, and a metric ton of plans for 5-8 side.
It's not that high potency heroes aren't good— the real problem is if Bitterman is willing to give us enough Goldnine, AP, and HT Candidates for something like what Wing101r has been reccomending before Moon River, the Philosophers and the Intelocutor do [redacted].

Like I think the wild hunt plan would be a great way to get a hero with synergy with menagerie witch
If we want a high amount of T10 we probably need to do Justice Unlimited wants you and hope to roll high enough to get a 7. Though if were willing to shell out the cash and ap 3ap is enough to get a 6 to 10 with fastpass.
Really the reason I prefer to focus on T10 is that with ND and the merge we can go for have a decent core of B-A class heroes we can recruit. So focusing on S-classes to me is better.
Hell Sparksurker, Jorugomu and Belle are decent addtion for Standard Heroes, So we can focus on using our Ambrosia for Bullshit heroes. Especially since we only really have 1 more base we know how to get with Dr. Ibis Lab.
BTW @Bitterman would merging with ND let us use THe bastion and The Mill as bases? Probably have to put ap to reclaim them but still.

Bastion, yes, the Mill you would have to retake. Which is, uh, complicated.
