As long as you were careful and had taken reasonable precautions such as grabbing people from outside the sector or from other Subsectors, you could get away with little to no suspicion. Well unless you go hog wild and get like a 1000 blanks or something equally stupid. But you can easily do a bit of paperwork fuckery to hide around ten to twenty blanks per turn up to a max of around 200 per century before anyone starts getting overly suspicious.

And how much would 10-20 blanks impact a fight on the scale of the predicted Chaos incursion?

As for sus cap, not really, at least directly. The best direction would be to work on cultural shifting, to make Shogi distinct from the greater imperium to make the local people less likely to ring the bell. Of course that would be pretty obvious so again not really something easily done.

Well if you built an Inquisition Base on Shogi that would be around +50 max suspicion, but you then have to deal with the Inquisition on your literal doorstep. Technically you could try to get the local Astartes chapters to agree to create a Chapter for Shogi which would do the same, but that would require a ton of favor trading.

Would sufficient good standing with the admech serve a similar purpose (considering Stygies VIII and such)?

On the greater scale not at all, as a dedicated strike force against the high level daemons massively. Blanks have massive advantages vs Daemons directly and warp magic as well, but vs Astartes they suck and vs normal cultists they are only normal men.

No, Stygies VIII has been invaded several times by the ad mech for their tech heresy.
 
So next turn are we gonna go all in Learning with Atraxas? with 3 Exatari Supercomputer a lot could be done there, with all his die and the die that the Exatari Supercomputer, could get a few of them done in one go

We are next turn we are healed once more so we can take wounds for 7 extra actions

Nameria Actions: can undertake actions in Faith and Martial by dividing her highest bonus evenly, can not take more actions that would put her bonus below 1, rounds down
@Leon12431 How many actions can she take, having her donate to the church is an easy way to reduce some suspicion, and she could also help with the PDF

You know what, I like this plan too. Splitting up Nameria onto the Private Army and Fortifications is a good idea.

Though considering most of our Actions are locked, there's not much able to be changed anyway I suppose.
 
So when would it be good to do Streamline the code of law? i think we should get it done soon as the + 50 more suspicion and one action in each departments would be great

I suspect we will get investigated once we do so and that would reduce our actions better wait till after the invasion in my opinion.
There is also the Militant Citadel that reduces the suspicion of all actions by 5 and there was the Schola action as well but that one seems to have disappeared, hope we can do that as one of our next stewardship actions in the following turns
Schola: +2 Education, -5 suspicion to all actions, some actions become unavailable due to better trained individuals being more observant. Costs 500 Resources and 200 DC

If possible i like to have both of those done as well before we try and Streamline the code of law

Doing it in parts by doing:

Improve legal procedure - The Imperial legal system is a labyrinthine conglomerate that even scholars dedicated to the field often cannot fully navigate. Months, years, and even decades can pass from the time an offense is supposedly committed to the time that a conclusion is reached, assuming of course that all parties involved remain alive and do not withdraw their cases in that time. It would be for the best if you did what you could to make this monstrosity somewhat more manageable, if for no other reason than it ties up fewer resources than the status quo
(Suspicion: 75) (Resource Cost: 100) (DC: 1000)
(Result: all extraction sources provide 10% more income, all upkeep is reduced by 5%, trade deals are easier)

first might help as well but reducing Suspicion: 75 will take several turns and if we do Streamline the code of law i want to do it when we are at 0 Suspicion and take several Suspicion reducing actions in the same turn

What exactly do the supercomputers do?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Exatari Supercomputer (1): When built can be assigned to a Hero/Minor to provide another dice to their rolls, can be assigned any Martial or Stewardship action with a bonus of +10, when assigned to Atraxas for Learning gives 3 dice
Atraxas can use 3 and they will apply to all his actions, other heroes can use one.

@Leon12431, does this give us an extra action/die, effectively? If so, are we allowed to construct an unlimited supply of them, or...?
Click to expand...

Its a bit of an unfair meta balance but no, you can only build one per advisor, 3 per exatari and 1 per minion, plus 1 extra.

Edit: I have reconsidered this and have found a better limitation method. You can build unlimited ones but you can only assign the ones not given to advisors/minions to the same action with a stacking dice bonus of +5 per computer and only 1 dice.

There is a problem with the winning plan that I failed to detect. Namaeria can only take 2 actions currently as her highest bonus is 34 which only divides cleanly into 2 actions. As such I am removing her from the Private Army action as it would have the least amount of impact to the greater plan.

Couldn't it be rounded down into 33/3 for +11 on each? 34/3 is 11.3 anyway so it wouldn't round up into a +12 regardless.

Edit: As for the Calculation Hearts, does this mean, for example, we would, if we had more of them, do the following:

1 for each Advisor and Atraxas Action naturally, then can the rest can be given one "self-run" action in either Martial or Stewardship, wherein 1 Calc Heart on that Action gives 1 dice and a +10, and every additional Calc Heart adds a +5?

Yes, Atraxas can use 3 of them due to his biology so he gets extra rolls to actions from them but gets 3 instead of 1 extra dice from them for learning. Self run actions with the computers only have 1 dice from any number of computers but gain a stacking +5 per computer.
