Alright, I got a draft plan together. Gonna be out at an event most of the day and most of tomorrow, so make your suggestions and I'll post an edited version tomorrow morning when the vote is open.

If someone could math out how much AM this plan spends that would also be useful - I might be spending a bit too much and need to hold off on some of the Munitorum actions.

Munitorum
SLOT A - Year 1
-Y1: Ork Culling
SLOT B - Year 2
-Y2: Expand PDF
SLOT C - Year 5
-Y5: Life Guard

Void Command
SLOT A - Year 1
-Y1: Construct: Repair: What's left
SLOT B - Year 3
-Y3: Further Thicken Minefield: Deiphobe
SLOT C - Year 3
-Y3: Upgrade Defences Deiphobe
--EXPEDITE YEAR 3

Administratum
SLOT A - Year 3
-Y3: Expand Factories: Avernus
SLOT B - Year 4
-Y4: Munition Stores

Diplomacy
SLOT A - Year 1
-Y1: Trade Talks (Niflheim - buy max EM trade)
-Y2:

Open to suggestions here for the remaining slots.

Arbites
SLOT A - Year 1
-Y1: Super-Elite Operatives: Constant Training
SLOT B - Year 1
-Y1: Regional Spy Network

AdMech
SLOT A - Year 4 (Explorator)
-Y4: Explore Ruins: Deiphobe
SLOT B - Year 5
-Y5: Complete Examination ()

I'm open on what species to do for the Biologis. IIRC people wanted to do the mushroom people? What where their names again?

Astra Telepathica
SLOT A - Year 1 (Ridcully)
-Y1: A Witness Part One: Why
-- DOUBLE DOWN YEAR 1
-Y2: A Witness Part Two: When
-- DOUBLE DOWN YEAR 2
-- REPEAT ONCE IF FAILED, DD INCLUDED
-Y3: A Witness Part Three: What (if A Witness Part Two succeeds in Y2 or Y3, else Fanning the Flames)
-- DOUBLE DOWN YEAR 3 (or 4)
-Y5: Fanning the Flames
-- DOUBLE DOWN YEAR 5
SLOT B - Year 3 (Xavier)
-Y3: Siren Rune of Fire: All Psykers
SLOT C - Year 1 (Tamia)
-Y1: Anti-Ork Powers: Countering
-Y5:

Not sure what to do with Tamia's last action slot. I would like to do a one year action so she can get a double down on the anti-tech power next turn. We could maybe look at a material for wildlife, or research a new psychic power based off wildlife we've studied (we haven't gotten a new Avernus based power in a while).

Personal Attention
SLOT A - Y1
-Y1: Spend Time With ()
-Y2: Spend Time With ()
-Y3: Spend Time With ()
-Y4: Spend Time With ()
-Y5: Spend Time With ()
SLOT B - Y2
-Y2: Personal Attention: Helltrooper Power Siege Infantry
SLOT C - Y3
-Y3: Personal Attention: Helltrooper Bionics
SLOT D - Y5
-Y5: Speak to the People

Open on who to talk to. I think we're due for Syr this turn.

2. no, he is at the point where adding combat is hard, the +1 armour is pretty significant though, when you reach the 20s any armour can have a massive impact. especcialy given that in my system have over twice the attacks pen in armour gives you a massive boost, and having over four times has an even larger boost. when only dedicated anti armour units have double digit pen that matters

Man, Tranth really went 'hold my promethium' on Surtbrander, didn't he? I take it that his person armour rating exceeds 22, or if it doesn't that he's close to?

Hope so.


Oh good.


Kill another Beta :D

@Durin
1. Tech ideas still open?
2. Can we assume the spy net RM cost is for the light second communicator?
3. How hard would it be to increase the range of the Light Second communicator? I'mma guess very, but it's the best chance we have of non astropath communications :D
4. Can you give an example of what the Choir powers should be like?


hint hint :D

Yeah... we do need RM though...

So many things :cry:

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. possible but it has a hard limit of around a light hour.
4. Will answer tomorrow
 
Machine god - we need the research boost, the EM and the unrest reduction.

I really want the starship weapons improvements but we all know Tranth is gonna explore.

An order of Warding is still very desirable to keep our expanded fleet resistant to tellyporta and zogging attacks. Those maintenance contracts on command battleships can improve our EM position too.
 
@Enjou

I'd like to suggest, in the spirit of finding out WTF is actually going on with Surt, that we set aside at least one spend time action with him each turn.
 
@Enjou; Could we do an Investigate Relationship (Avernus, X)?

I know that we've got the hard numbers on our relationships with other worlds but I'd think that it would be a good idea see exactly how certain worlds such as Muspelheim or Nilfheim view us. Especially since he hadn't suffered any relationship malus from either world back during the Siren Trade.

He's getting to the point that he more closely resembles a ground space ship :D.

I wonder if he's still humanoid at this point?

Not really. Space ships have around 100 armor.

Durin said that the Black Crystal Sward has 100 PEN and that the only relvent armor that could reduce its damage is ship armor. Given that such armor is often serveral meter thick it might be because the sword is simply to short to do relevant damage. :p
 
We should talk to Ridcully.

Ridcully, because he's doing this super-dangerous Divination.

Maybe we could just talk to him 4-turns straight? Well, I suppose we should fit in Tranth as well...
 
Maybe we should write some omakes for Ridcully?

I hope that "??" doesn't mean "Tentacles And Disappointment" or something like that.
Jackob probably isn't accustomed to his blade to the same degree as his mother yet, so maybe it is a good idea to commission a relic sword from Granalf to him?
Lin's trait actually isn't that bad, depending on how good the improvement of the trait learning chances is.

I think that we need to spend some time with Mikaelsson. He's pretty reasonable, it's pretty possible that we will be able to explain him dangers of overestimating power of Trust and underestimating our enemies.
 
So, what do people think of psyrodactyl rough riders as an idea?
It'd be dearly irritating to any invaders who use conventional pilots.

Though learning the beast taming psykic power from the southern lizard men may be a prerequisite.

Just because people are reasonable doesn't mean they can't value other things than you and just generally dislike you. His political goals are going to almost obligate him to dislike us if he's a relatively straight politician.
