The Long Night Part One: Embers in the Dusk: A Planetary Governor Quest (43k) Complete Sequel Up

Thing about the Forges is they tend to be much more pricey on other things, not AM & EM. For example, here's the price of the Greater Forges action, the last one we took:
Cost: 752,600,000 Thrones, 188,200,000 Material, 75,260,000 Metal, 3,763,000 Promethium, 10,840 Advanced Material, 1,210 Exotic Material.
Even if AM cost went up by 100x, it'd still be around 1 million total. That's not something I consider necessary to bank up for.
Good catch on the numbers though, going from upkeep being 1/6th of our production to 1/4th does feel worse.
AM and EM are Mechanicus only production right now IIRC. Freeing up more menials from the normal factories in our regular cities doesn't help when it's a bottleneck of AdMech population in the Forge Cities that's the great limitation.
I'd still say it's better to do it since there could be some benefit to AM production.

It's a nice omake idea, but probably won't be canon since the Imperial Trust is noted as being very gender equal.
The problem with AM and EM isn't manpower - we have plenty of that, and regular people can man regular factories. You don't need tech-priests for that. The problem is that we're limited in where we can make Forges and Forge Temples, and of what size we can make them. We need more and bigger Forge Cities respectively for those.

It could still be worth it. Some of that automation might be applicable to AM production. It'll only take 1 year anyway, so the cost is very low even if it doesn't help.
It's possible, though I recall asking durin about it before and he said it was unlikely to affect AM and EM production. We could end up pleasantly surprised, though.

So for a Five Year Slot, Expand Collegia then Examine the factories for maximum bonuses and hope a Crit gives us something nice?
Maybe. It might just be better to let the Collegia do it though, as it's one of the techs they could actually work on and it has a good chance of success for them with the current bonuses available.

Yea, but that selection finishes perfectly at 5 turns, and we want at least one slot ready to go next turn to get Forge Expansion ASAP, right?
In other thoughts, is anyone interesting in planning an exploration force? Those options have been lying around for a few turns now, and I'm quite curious to see what the rest of Avernus has to offer.
Right now my ideal Munitorum looks like
5 Year: Air Refit
5 Year: Prepare for Expedition: Armies -> Goliath: PDF
1 Year: Landspeeder: PDF
This does basically lock up Munitorum actions next turn, but it means everything finishes at almost the same time so we will have significantly upgraded our forces by the time we can go exploring.
Void Command: Construct: Upgrade Shipyards is probably a given, and so is Expanding Shipyards again. We probably want to deal with Long Term Planning here too, which leaves one slot to be filled. I'd prefer Void Superiority or Pilot Armor over messing with the Minefield or Orbital Weapons Platforms.
Administratum: Juvnat is probably a shoe-in, so either upgrade Avernus' Spine's Defences or expand Promethium refineries some more so we can trade with people that need it?
Diplomancy: loaning teachers and organizing Branch universities is guaranteed, but that only fills one slot. Don't have any ideas for the others.
Arbites: Border Security is a Yes, dunno about the rest.
AdMech:
Free Surveys: Saint, Pope, and Templar class Carriers, Hero and Champion class Battleships.
Explorator (5 Year): Expand Collegia Reconstructus -> Examine: Automated Factories
Biologis(4 Year): Regional Survey (Lindon) -> Complete Examination (Nog). We've never looked at the Avernus Variant of the Nug yet, so lets see what's so special about them. This or Raptors IMO.
Fab-Gen(4 Year): A Closer Look. For Obvious reasons.
General(5 Year): Examine: Macrocannons (Maybe with a Cheat to maximize chances of Crits?) -> Complete STC fragment: Repair Robot -> Detailed Survey (Knight Class Cruiser) -> Detailed Survey (Youxia Class Escort Cruiser)
Ministorum: Probably Good Deeds to one of the two. That or more ritual investigation.
Telepathica: I like the idea of Psyker Quarters, but Psyker City: Aridia is the safer choice. That leaves us with only one slot for Mentoring/Cheating/Researching/Examining Black Crystal Stuff, so I don't think we can do Astropathic Rituals yet.
Personal: Hoo boy. Do we pull Syr out and send her to the Navy/University against her wishes? Could easily fit Rearm Helltroopers: Light in, could do Rapid Good Couriers: Mass, deal with Void Superiority or Pilot Suits on our own time, stuff like that. Lots of choices and none that immediately seem necessary.
But, the most important option: Spend Time With (Person) has appeared! Everyone that wants to ship Rotbart with Jane 'Killfrenzy' Oakheart, now's your chance!

Yes, but Tranth isn't the one responsible for Forge Expansion. That's Britton. Whether we need that depends on what we do with the free slot.
We could also do something else, like the Hellfire Rounds. Even just the chemical from that would be useful to get so we could use it against the Tyranids.
There is no "Avernus Variant" of the Nog. It exists only on Avernus.

You know what I meant
As for the Hellfire rounds... I dunno. The fact that we only see them as rare bullets for the super rare Super-Exitus rifle, and are noted as being exceptionally difficult to make (and difficult to make always seems to mean expensive), makes me wonder how widespread we actually could make its use against Tyranids. If even the DAoT didn't have this stuff in wide circulation, I can't imagine we could pull that off.
Though having some Snipers with Exitus Rifles ready to take out Zoanthropes & Hive Tyrants would be handy. The number of those we'd need to matter against a real Tyranid ground invasion is still huge.
That is one of the few STCs that the Collegia can complete, so I'd rather leave it to them.
Pretty sure we already surveyed Lindon, didn't we?
Nilfheim and Muspelheim do not need the church to be re-established.
Good Deeds action is how you re-establish the church.
Look at the upkeep. Upkeep is the worry, not the cost.
Agreed. Also, unlikely to effect Adv. Material or Exotic production.
There are plenty of other 1 year actions.
Most people feel we should rearm our army first, and then after they have the best gear, plan an expedition.
You have thrown me for a loop. Both STC fragments left have a base chance of -20%. Before the upgrade the Collegia was limited to base chance 10% or better. The upgrade lifted the -100% penality for them to -85%. So 15% better.
So would they now not be limited to -5% or better base chance? Where do you get those numbers? Better even: Where stand what the Collegia can archive?
Avernus' Spine (turn 24)
Everglades (turn 48)
The Azure Islands (turn 65)
Elysium (turn 65)
Aridia (turn 65)
Lindon is still missing based on the AdMech sheet and it was updated after last turn.
They don't need it because they never had problems. I know but on the sheet they are not marked as such. Basically it would need but practically it does not. Durin already canceled any atemt to do it based on limiting the avaiable planets.
I know. But do they need it with their moral or does Vanaheim needs attention? I am in favor of Vanaheim.

Saren did day in the results for Aridia that he wants to go back since he never found something cool there and is sure it exists, but since we've never been through Lindon that is more pressing.
Keep in mind that the rounds are designed to be used in the Super-Exitus rifle, which means that the acid has to be protected so it doesn't just boil off or bust out prematurely due to all the physical forces involved in getting the round to move as fast as a Super-Exitus rifle can fire it. Designing some other kind of round, like a Bolter round, would probably be much easier. It might also help with understanding the rifle itself. There may also be other methods we could use to deploy the acid, if it isn't too hard to make.
We already did. The Sand Shark. Remember?
@durin: A question for you:
my understanding of why Avernites have such high bonuses to ground ops is because the Avernite environment encourages teamwork, selects for paranoid people with quick reflexes and because the Avernite government trains the military hard and takes care of the soldiers. If this is correct, then could we take future military actions to extend these advantages to the air-force? For example, devising air combat doctrines built around the Avernite "buddy system", or studying the reflexes of new recruits in order to devise new training methods that would build on those reflexes and re-train the reflexes that undermine good flying.
I know. Thankyou.
Once I have more info on the carriers I'll make a stab at designing a carrier-based planetary assault fleet.
I thought we were told OOC that this was one of the reasons why King Zaren was the way he was during his meeting with the Guv'nor?
If I misunderstood, then clearly we've yet to see the sort of fight where the ground losses would be so horrendous that we need to think about trading expensive ships for lives.

I thought the Shark was his helpers finally doing something, not re-surveying? When we/they found the Sand Shark did Saren say he thinks Aridia is clear of new stuff now? If so then more time on Aridia is unnecessary. Though the current description in the survey log could be updated a bit.
True about the stresses needing better protection, but the acid payload is also noted as being much stronger. That means the vessel for it, either Bolter Shell, Acid Sprayer, Chem Cannon or whatever, will need to be reinforced using much stronger/fancier material that won't react at all to this super acid.
Current thoughts on next turn:
Military:
Air Refit - got to do.
Land Speeders
Goliaths
Have to be really careful on the refits that we don't go over our Adv. Material income in upkeep. Ultimately want Helguard: Medium and Helltroopers: Heavy I think.
Void:
Y1: Expedite Privateers
Y2: Expedite Shipyard Upgrade
Y3: Expedite Expand Shipyards
Y4: Expedite Expand Shipyards (2nd)
Shipyards are one of the few ways to get more Adv. and Exotic Material. Keep pushing them. Use as many Expedites on the Construct actions as possible. Use a Personal Action to get the Long Term Planning and Pilot Armor. Maybe Void Superiority.
Administorum:
Y4: Upgrade Defences Avernus Spine
Y5: Expedite: Juvenat: All
Diplomacy:
Loan Teachers to Midgard
Organize Branch University (Midgard and Vanaheim)
Trade Talks with Midgard (let's sell them a few hulks, etc.)
Investigate Quartok (Economy?)
Trade Talks with Muspelheim (sell them a few hulks - means we need to survey stealth ships)
Arbites:
Border Control
Open to several different actions
Mechanicus:
Expand Collegia
Reverse Engineer something (probably a starship component)
Bonus Survey: Knight Class, Darkness Class, Night Class, Shadow Destroyer, Bishop Class
Biologus as usual.
A Closer Look
Wildcard slot:
Y1: Reverse Engineer something
Y2: Reverse Engineer something that needs Cheating
Y3: Titan Killers
Ministorum:
Y1: Those in the Shadows
Y2: Those in the Shadows
Y3: Those in the Shadows
Y4: Investigate Rituals for Taint
Telepathica:

1: It's also an STC that has great potential to reduce AM & EM costs by keeping more units combat-effective in the field, and as Portec said I don't see how the base -20% chance means the Collegia can complete it even after the boost.
2: I did again since I got our reserves and production swapped. Rearm Helltroopers: Heavy costs us 1/5th of our current AM production for a huge increase in combat power. It is a significant chunk of resources, but we want the best Army and so we'll have to pay for it, and I'd prefer to not wait too long in case the next big threat is one that Ridcully can't or doesn't see coming. Not this turn, but I'd prefer to have it done by the end of next turn. That means we could actually use the new gear when exploring.
3: Unlikely doesn't mean it can't with a good enough roll, and if we leave the new Collegia to it there's no chance of them getting a better result. Anything that has the potential for permanent AM gain is worth the single action it'll take. More productive than surveying another ship type IMO.
4: I didn't think the new gear would change the plan enough for waiting until after it's done to matter, though @durin would know.
As to your plan, for the most part I like it, though I have a few questions/issues.
A: Why build Privateers before we know if we/the Trust Navy will want them?
B: Why survey so many of the Stealth ships? There's so few hulls of those compared to other types that we could be checking over.
C: No interest in finishing the Refroms of the Church this turn?

One thing to keep in mind - we probably want to have an open slot on Year 1 next turn for Britton so we can get started on Forge City expansions ASAP. Durin has told us that it would be coming up next turn.
I know that voting is still closed for the few hours but than I will have no chance to post. So please bear with me for now.

About the dedicated Spy Network I am unsure and open for suggestion. Midgard is the seat of the cuncil and we might get some more infos from there but I don't know. The bonus out of the existing network are 40 so 40% base + 20% double down + 15 Intruige = 75 so having diplomatic issues is unlikely especially if the existing network bonus wil be added as well (I don't know right now if that is true).

"A Closer Look" is there because so we can have an action ready in the first year next turn to upgrade the mechanicus cities to increase our AM and EM production. Delaying "A closer look" on the off change that we need two seperate action to upgrade all mechanicus cities is unlikely as needing one per hive to be build is more likely than that. We still wont get an answer out of "A closer look" next turn because it takes 6 years to complete...
