@Randino Treviani It seems an old version of your plan is being voted for, picking the Australia support option >_<
This is the least valuable reward out of all them since we can already conquer Australia ourselves and can easily gain support from negotiations.
No I've never made a plan with mutual defense treaty. That is a similar but different plan someone who liked most of mine made.
Why do so many people vote for more than one plan? Is this even allowed?
Also, I think we need an informational post that collects all the available plans, I'm getting confused on what is what
Approval voting. been allowed in quest before.
Ugh. Well I voted for the version I liked. I'm not sure how to actually fix that issue on my end.
There should be an option to edit your original vote post, usually in the bottom left corner of your post I think.
Honestly a defense agreement with Britannia and the Federation would help Lulu's older brother's plan of being Europe's hero.
You mean the plan he is possibly abandoning in light of new evidence of a fatalistic anti Noble and Mentalist secret society in Europe which would oppose his aims and all the knowledge Lelouch dumped on him, including a new avenue of recovering his sister and suppressing her powers in supporting Lelouch's tech? Not something to assume is still going ahead in remotely the same form anymore if at all.
This is the biggest selling point of any plans with the formal treaty reward for me, in one stroke it undercuts piracy and solves the geopolitical tension between Britannia and China in the (South) East Asia, since most nations in the Federation are nervous about Britannia's encroachment into the area iirc. Japan is now cornered between two allied nations so it'll be forced to tone down their irrational behavior.
The pirates are already in trouble with both of they fire at Lelouch as her consort anyways.
Japan is already causing problems despite threats from Lihua and Lelouch's Royal status. They have that fatalistic pride that would see them throw away all the political good will they have with Britannia in offense over Lelouch infiltrating there nation, regardless of the consequences. This is just as likely to have them lash out because they feel cornered as it is to subdue them.
The same arguments about India becoming 'All Work, Not Very Fun/Rewarding' applies to Stewardship as well, we'll have a lot more resources but the main currency, namely our time/AP will be a lot more restricted.
The benefits of a place in her administration would be acting with the authority of the Chinese Empress and the Chinese Federation as a whole, a very large budget (depending on your specialty), and a rather immense allowance to work on personal projects.
The way it would work is that Lihua would communicate priorities for your sector and you would then decide what to focus on. As long as you have a good explanation for skirting her directives, you can get away with a lot.
Do so too much and you may see consequences, though. Specifically having your budget cut, projects audited, or having oversight increased on your staff. You'd have to do pretty badly on that note, though. Unless you start actively bucking her authority, she's not going to pick fights she doesn't need to. She has plenty of fights already.
Not really. Stewardship is going to be her big focus area, but she isn't going to be giving it much more oversight than either of the others do to having too much on her plate already. As long as some important work gets done, Lelouch pursuing a few "Personal Projects" is permissable, and not worth starting a fight over.
Further more, Stewardships overall goals are pretty predictable in the aftermath of the war, and too our benefit both in terms of proving Lelouch's sincerity and winning him further acceptance by Lihua's more suspicious Loyalists.
Piety on the other hand we don't know about. We could be dealing with fewer actions in return for less of a set direction in which Lihua intends to take it, but still some expectation of benefit for her people that requires us to pick and choose what we work on to avoid budget cuts and closer oversight. Both options have their benefits and downsides.
The big thing that makes taking over Lihua's Piety admin less rewarding in my opinion, is the fact that we are setting ourselves up to take over New Heaven and it's massive Piety organization at some point in the next handful of turns.
With an alternative piety super organization to take over besides in new heaven, one with no oversight, China's drops in value, leaving Stewardship as the better pick, so we control the wealthiest nations economy and can direct it to the benefit of Australia's growth, and can carry out our piety goals without oversight in australia.
