@Sir Plusse
I just noticed that your plan didnt defined where to build the Aero Factory
Would suggest Inmediate North next to the Shooting Range

Fair enough. I've been putting them in priority order, but if you want a specific order it shouldn't be too hard to adapt.
Honestly, I didn't think of this. Personally, though, I want to save at least one slot at the Ramps (i.e. next to the Shooting Range) for a Ballista Battery. It's the primary approach to our base and should thus be properly fortified against invaders.
Beyond that... I don't really care where we put it.
That would be for the best, though even if we build the Aero Factory ange there, there are still 2 extra slots in that area (Plus, having the Ballista Battery close to the Aero Factory would be a good way to have the ammo ready inmediatly)

[ ] Scout (Further West): You know nothing about the areas around you base, you should take some time to scout out one of those areas.
DC: ???
1d100+15=18
Hmmm...... it appears there is another cult on this level of the Pipeworks.
The big pretentious buildings and weird pretentious jumpsuits gives it away.
As does the name the 'Church of Sirius'.
You just can't get away from these cults can you?
Results: Discovered the local Cult of Sirius.
[ ] Further Relations: It could be helpful to try and improve your relations with Mutant Town in general.
DC: ???
1d100=71
Negotiations seem to be going well and the Mutant Town seems to be interesting in some form of Vassal status.
In fact all that's really needed is some finalization on your end.
Results: Success, auto-succed action unlocked next turn to turn the mutant town into a vassal.
[ ] Secret Project Aero Factory Part 1: The first part of the Aero Factory will include the in built smelter, and mold in order to give the Areros their basic shape and material consistency.
Cost: 1 Building Slot
DC: 70
1d100+15=76
The smelter and mold come together relatively easily, a fortunate fact for these two parts despite their smaller size will be utterly irreplaceable for the functions of the Aero Factory.
With these the form of the Aero's will be up to your standards even without your own personal oversight.
Half of your work is done and without much difficulty.
You can only hope the second half will be so easy.
Results: Secret Project Aero Factory Part 1 completed.
[ ] Ameboid Research: The Ameboids that lurk near your home are curious mutants, they haven't bothered you all that much but you have seen them get into skirmishes with the many other mutants in this place, perhaps you should learn more about these creatures.
DC: ???
1d100+15=85
The Ameboids are a fascinating species.
Despite being gelatinous masses they tend to take a form similar to the common 'Gomba' species of mutants in general shape.
However this body is capable of doing a great many things such as allowing them to fit into nooks and crannies they never could have otherwise or even resist being crushed by objects massively heavier than them.
They could also modify their bodies to shoot out balls of poison… and through some biological porcess you don't understand plasma of all things.
Wait a minute.
Plasma… plasmid… plasim.
Was the universe itself trying to hit you with some kind of pun?
However the most interesting part of the Ameboids was their ability to split into five equally strong Amoeboids while under stress.
Further observation reveals that they were also capable of some form of social activity.
Perhaps it was time to develop some…. Methods of communication.
Results: New options unlocked.
[ ] Lower Layer Scouting (Immediate North) (Intrigue):: You should do what you can to learn more about the immediate upper lower.
DC: ???
You discover another town to the north.
This one is inhabited mostly be mushroom headed mutants that call themselves Toads.
From what your scouts report they call their town 'Toad Outpost', not the most creative name but if it works you suppose it works.
Results: Discovered Toad outpost.
[ ] Build Shysters: The Shysters so far make up the bulk of available dedicated combatants under your commander, you should take some time to build more of them.
DC: N/A
Gain: 1d2 Shyster Swarms+1 with the addition of a Mad Mallet team.
1d2+1=3
You have a very productive building session and manage to finish a full 3 swarms worth of Shysters.
Results: +3 Shyster Swarms.

Man we have a lot of cults to deal with huh. Any ideas if this one is friendly or not?
Well having another vassal would definitely be helpful to us.
Hmm, so we have another part to do before the factory is completed huh.
Hmm, so a lot of options have been unlocked huh.
Well at least we found some toads, hopefully we can find some more friendly settlements to trade with.
Well hopefully we'll get enough Shysters to guard our new territories.
I think Curiosity and Followups had won
I dont mind with it being chosen, though I might be somewhat biased since I was the one that suggested 'Further Relationships'

Oooh, alright we'll need to build up our forces first so we'll have enough for attack and guarding the area.
Got anything in mind for them?
Well we are in the Pipeworks which I think is the worst real-estate around. It makes sense all the nutjobs would be down here in the thunderdome so they don't immediately get squashed by the big boys.

Actually yeah, that plan did win, it was tie breaker vote, @catxfighter_3_1 was the deciding vote, but both plans were very similar, so I'm not too torn about it.

Don't worry, as long as they haven't actually contacted any aliens, they're just normal people. Easy win.
It's gonna depend on how smart they are. But having a bunch of units that can squeeze in to any structure or hidden place has huge intrigue potential! No place could keep us out.

- NJ
Maybe so, but still best to have some more units first instead of just using our heroes.
That would definitely help with intrigue and spying, but if they're not smart enough for that hopefully we use them to hold places instead of just the Shysters.

Mildly annoyed about the lack of Axems, but not enough so to raise a fuss about it considering the results we got. I am, if not necessarily content, momentarily placated.
We better plan in anticipation to prevent a situation like this tie, we could either:
A) Go for Sabrefall´s plan, which includes the Axems (Except possibly having the Taking Over the Red Nod Base as Martial action)
B) Use our four actions to build Shyster Swarms to take over the other base on the next turn.

I'm all for this one, as I said when I made it, I'm paranoid and I'm sure people are going to notice the Nod bases going silent, some of those people might be allies who hate Nod, but they could also be allies of Nod who want revenge or a different faction who wants to get rid of the risk we pose.
Think about it, as far as anyone knows, we're an unknown faction that came out of nowhere and destroyed a bunch of bases with minimal or outright no loses on our part.
Someone will notice, and chances are they will not be friendly.

Well, at least this gives our lieutenants something to do. Slows our exploration a bit since we have to keep stopping to stomp out the latest threat, but such is the price of security.
...should we have Yari infiltrate them, or just go with the brute-force approach like usual?
Not yet, I feel we need to build up before getting into more fights, we dont even know if this cult is as dangerous as Nod
