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

If you, say, fill the gauge of the Aeldari dominion, the quest either ends as you're all killed or worse, or you suffer some variety of horrible fate from which only a fraction survives and you have to start again (without the one-planet tutorial) in 40k timeline. I haven't decided which.

Well, given that I'm pretty sure Isendral's remaining infrastructure, personal and political power and generally positive opinion of us would stymie the whole "two random Eldar could gear up and wipe out our civilization" issue, I'm gonna assume that's Dark Muse "kill it with fire" protocol. I also really hope Isendral's divorce beacon isn't raising that meter considerably.

I don't think it's really a spoiler to say that Isendral is a potential way for you to reduce Aeldari Dominion attention if it's needed. If you get her on-side, of course.

Huh. I'd have thought the Dominion realizing she was alive would increase attention due to the Muses resuming assassination attempts and our guilt by association. Would that literally be her going "ignore the lizards, they're harmless" or just a matter of the attention clock tracking negative attention with her vouching for us?

Depends on the circumstances. She wouldn't be able to help in all scenarios, and as you said she might also attract negative attention from specific parties if you decide to associate with her, but her position currently retains enough soft power that she'll be able to do some stuff.
 
Fascinating. I confess I was getting the impression we'd be soon heading into the post-Fall era but this is looking to be a lot more complicated than jumping into the time when the galaxy is open for whatever civilization or monster seeks to take it.
 
Nah, wouldn't be fair if I showed the galaxy descending into a smorgasbord of small (and big) c chaos without showing what it's like as a semi-not shit place to live first. Gotta start small and then escalate, yknow?

Its a Procrastinating Tutorial.

Either that or you are actually a toad wizard.

If that were true, then we would have roll a nat 100 on an important event that we didn't have in the bag before.

All jokes aside, regardless of the length that it takes to keep a quest like this running (I'm blaming covid for the wait), I am still heartened to see Bom and Xan, still have the will, drive, creativity, and want of a player base to see this continue on and thrive. Which, is why most quests die out before 100,000 words are written, or hell, even finished at all. So, yeah, until the day the quest actually ends, something horrible happens, or someone dies, I can wait for this no matter what. (And I call bull on this being a tutorial, this feels way to much like a prolonge, then a massively stretched out act 1, and presumably a 10 times bigger act 2 instead when we become space borne.)
 
Our ability to retain hype for future events is most impressive. I'm glad everybody has been able to stick around and support the quest.

In regards to the alert gauges in the future, will we be able to mix together aggravating and alleviating actions together in our space age turns? Will we be able to do research or projects/event chains to give buffs or bonuses to reducing the severity of aggravating actions, or increasing the effectiveness of our alleviating ones? Will certain factions be aggravated more or less relative to others? Some having doom conditions on max while others just end up needing a military pacification campaign? They send debuffs or negative events our way at higher levels?

Most importantly, are all these faction questions extremely premature and unanswerable? Apologies in advance if I'm being a bother but the prospect alone made my curiosity spike up.
 
One more thing. We know the ritual affected all Orks on the main continent - did it cover every Ork in their north continent territories as well? Just making sure we don't have to worry about any Feral Ork upsurges afterward.

From what I recall of my re-read; the northern continent has pretty much been purged of Orks already. They're all now on the central continent.
 
There's some up there still, but in small enough numbers that they won't be able to build up to noteworthy opposition before you get up there.

It did not. The ritual could only operate on the Orks affiliated to this specific Warboss - he was the last one on the continent so we managed to pretty well pop all the Orks that could be considered 'his' but the north pole Orks are separated by an ocean and had all their infrastructure swept out to sea (and there evidently wasn't any contact going to them the other way), so there would be no way to reasonably establish hegemony over them.
 
Anyone though of any crazy things the lizardmen can do in this universe? What if we stole that necromancy weapon that can blink things out from existence simply by touching the thing you want gone?

I mean, I have had some idle fantasies but I'm not one to indulge in them. Just raises expectations too high and/or makes on frustrated when it takes a long while to reach those heights, if ever.

Random eldar: "hey Isendral, why did you write BETTER_ELDARPLUSKRORK_FINAL_REVISION_FINAL_VER2.341 in the tongue of the old ones in the genetic code of these funny little lizards you made?"

That probably wouldn't be in the comments for the Lizardmen's genes, but for the elves.

Interestingly, thinking along those lines implies that the other species of Mallus, including humans, may be other variants of the Eldar template, as humans didn't exist back when the Old Ones did and could have headed to Mallus.
