Respect Your Elders v2 - Galactic Boogaloo [Warhammer Lizardmen Quest]

Reader mode
So a little question on Aligning the Cities and increasing the Geo. Web Mag.

If it is the first action on the plan, like it is for this turn, does the increase in effects it brings affect the remaining actions for that turn or only come into affect next turn onwards?

Only from the next turn onwards - the only thing the order of actions in a plan does is affect which one I write first, and sometimes I move them around even then. I generally consider each action to take roughly the same amount of time as all the others unless it states otherwise in the description, which is pretty much just transferring population and geomanric rituals - the more slann assigned to the latter, the quicker in the turn it fires off, which is sometimes relevant if, say, you're being attacked while it's charging or something.

While your here Xantalos I had three questions if you don't mind.
First did you state previously that Forging Districts are Hard or Very Hard Difficulty?

Second, the Upgrade Geomantic Infrastructure Option, I assume that also makes the city larger/more defensible after being upgraded right? Which is why Itza of our cities only had Light Damage compared to the Moderate/Light-Moderate all the others had?

Third, the Sniff Them Out action, do we need to repeat that action to keep getting accurate results, or are we kept apprised of the local level of Ayacmanik forces near our cities automatically?

Well that's unfortunate. They certainly aren't going to get done for a few turns.

Lets see: Spawning Pools this turn, Mindfog next turn along with Bug Examination, Sotek Ritual Research.....

So yeah we won't be able to start on Forging Districts until like Turn 6 or 7. Depends on if we need Teninhuan for the actual Ritual, or in case that we don't, if we want him free to help deal with the wave of parasites that would assault us once the Ritual started.

Seeing as the first question got answered:
Yeah - I should really just call it City Level, which is basically what it is. When you upgrade from say 2 to 3, the city itself is made bigger and more badass - it's why different levels have different soft pop caps. And yeah, that was a factor in why Itza only had light damage inflicted despite being attacked by proportionately more enemies than any other city.

The Sniff one is like the patrols, yeah - unless circumstances massively change you'll be kept appraised of approximate Ayacmanik levels in the area of the city from turn to turn. That's already happening with Tlaxtlan, actually.

Noncanon Snippet - Chakax Channels Saitama and Drax the Destroyer
  • Sidestory
    • Chakax stood still. Other Temple Guard were skilled at remaining unmoving for weeks at a time, but Chakax was better. He could stay so still that he was indistinguishable from a statue, his breathing rate slowing so much that he could not even be said to be properly alive. But he was aware - he was always aware.

    Of everything.

    His eyes remained still as a faint whining sound echoed inside his brain, the hallmark of the nemesis that had haunted him ever since his arrival - the dreaded perception-avoiding flying insects. They taunted him with their stealth, flitting out of his vision as if he was not the most observant saurus in all of existence!

    But he had figured out how to fool the evil creatures. They fed off the blood of living creatures, avoiding their gaze with their maddening capabilities. But if they did not know the creature was living...

    They would grow tired of buzzing around, and gradually touch down upon his scaly snout to rest.

    A blistering crack echoed out as Chakax moved faster than sound, his gnarled claws hissing through the air in front of his face, clapping cupped hands together. He was rewarded by the faint sensation of a desperate insect bounding against his scaled hands, attempting to get free of its unexpected prison.

    He crushed his hands together, squishing the tiny annoyance with a grunt of satisfaction.

    Nothing got past him - he was too fast.

    I rewrote the opening text of this turn to be a little more thematically fitting, but I still like the crappy jokes I put in this so it's preserved here for posterity.

    Oh, and I suppose I can call the *very contentious and close* ( :p ) vote closed, since I've started outlining how I'm gonna write up the plan. So ... strap in your seatbelts and get ready to hope I don't take an obscenely long amount of time on this!

    I'd say I like the new version. Especially since it made Chakax out to just be like normal temple-guard as a statue for a long time.

    But normal temple-Guard are like that, not the absolute elite. They're even more insane. But, as you said, it's also much more thematically fitting. Feels right.

    I'd say take your time, but I'd be lying.

    I'll try and have something inspiring out within the next few days.

    I suppose now that I've actually started writing the update I can call the vote :V Can't say much at the moment other than that you should find the results... interesting.

    Oh, and be pleased at how far you got on the Spawning Pools. what with having devoted roughly 5 times as much slaanpower as last time (according to my own numbers about how different generations progress different topics, I dunno if in actual numbers), not even counting Mazdamundi's leadership bonus. With that factored in you're roughly ... just over 2/3 of the way to unlocking them, if I haven't estimated wrongly, which I do on occasion.

    Ooooh. Well now I'm excited. I like details. Thank you for not leaving me with mixed feelings of suspense.

    all aboard the train hype! first stop the spawning pools!!!

    seriously we need this as well as finding out to get better armor...as well as damn dino pens as well as anything else we might need!

    hmmm next turn can we create passive patrols with forts installed? have a constant supply of 5 fifth generation slann rotate around to keep an eye on them so we can insure the damn bugs don't get into our stuff. (the forts would be for future city sites)

    Well, that kinda goes along with a lizardman quest, isnt it?.

    Also, who many sacred plaques of the old ones with have? is there possibilities there is more out there in the galaxy? i will be a interesting way to do research, deciding that since we are the old ones favorite children, then all their shinny stuff belong to us.

    cut to the slaan flipping their shit when they see the imperial webway.

    I mean, im only saying this because im an thinking on the idea of making a tesure hunter character, who goes great length to recover the artifact of the old ones.

    Pretty much a Skink indiana jones of sort.

    Also, the lore was clear the lizardman lost a lot of the old ones knowledge, so it would be nice if that get reflect it their options.
