Archmagos Biologis Maximal gains trait Heavy Combat Cybernetics (+4C, less likely to die)- After yet another brush with death Archmagos Biologis Maximal decided to replace a good portion of his body with high grade military cybernetics. This will hopefully be enough to let him live though more of Avernus' assassination attempts. What does it have against the Biologis anyway?

****ing hell


Also my god the time reduced for the admech actions...Ahhhhh.

Though shit waargh.
 
Eh guys...

If we have space I kinda want to do Sanctus now, the times have been cut in half (it takes 3 years for Tranth to Examine, and 6 for the repair and upgrade) and we now have capital to do it.
 
Well, I think the trade talks are a shoe-in, Thrones alone, plus THAT BONUS?

Fuck the hell yes.

Also Maximal just jumped to 40 combat BTW.

With his less likely to die he might live a bit longer :p

Some of the Admech actions have lost their unrest malus, stealth vehicles for example don't have any unrest attached to them.

This update is such a mix of Fuuuuck Yes! and Ahhhhhhh Shit! I don't know how to react.

Edit: nope, I'm wrong, misread.

Nope.

I think it's gone down a bit though.

Also we're currently on 3 unrest next turn that goes down to 2 (we finish the other massive forge) so I think next turn is the time to do Sanctus Foreum.

that may be it in GW but in embers it is a mix of Chaos Favour and being just that tough. in my setting while he is not a exceptional general (among Astartes legends anyway) he is one of the most deadly Astartes ever in a fight, I'm talking about it taking multiple legendary astartes to fight him to a draw here
that just makes Bjorn's death even more impressive when you think about it. not only did he fight his way past an army and then several companies of what are effectively minor Chaos Lords+ in Terminator Armour he then almsot killed one of the most deadly Astartes ever

Decode: Roskilde Star Chart- The Roskilde Star Chart shows the location of the hidden shipyard Roskilde, where the Deus Class Superdreadnought was being designed along with several other massive naval ships and stations. However it is heavily encoded and will need to be decided before you can find the exact locations. Fortunatly the encryption is far weaker then that of a Data-Jewel and Fabricator-General Scott tells you that it should be possible, especially with the assistance of the Sphinx and Ridcully.

Examine Sub-System: Secondary Engines– Examine one of the Sub-Systems of The Well of Urd in an attempt to gain a better understanding of it. This will determine whether you can repair the sub-system and whether you are able to copy it. The secondary engines are one of the most complex devices on The Well of Urd and if they were not labelled Archmagos Tranth would not even be able to determine their purpose. He hopes that with the aid of Headmaster Ridcully he can learn more about them.

Time: 1 year.
Chance of Success: -110% (56% after bonuses)

Cost: 320,000,000 Thrones, 790,000 Advanced Material, 89,000 Exotic Material

Well he did fight his way through Ulthwe and it took the entire seer council + Eldrad to bring him down.

As for Bjorn not too surprised, he was good enough to catch Russ the most deadly Primarch's eye was his personal pupil and is a dreadnaught.

Richards believes that by providing tax cuts to the owners of these suits as long as they reach a certain required skill level, she will be able to recruit a massive powered armoured militia force. This will take some time to take effect and to train the new power armoured militia task forces and be very expensive but the reward is estimated to be over a hundred and twenty million powered armoured militiamen, an incredible force. It should be noted that despite their armour this force will not be nearly effective as your regulars due to training.

Time: 20 years

Cost: 39,000,000,000 Thrones, 3,900,000,000 Material, 390,000,000 Metal, 309,000,000 Promethium, 7,900,000 Advanced Material.
Upkeep: Estimated 8.5 billion Thrones a year
Reward: Recruit 1 power armoured militia regiment per 10 militia siege infantry brigades, currently 12,000., Power Armoured Militia Regiments have +20 combat skill from superior training.

Durin, this does not have an action name. May I suggest Power Armor: Militia ?

@Durin, will our chance to successfully hack into the data jewels increase in a few years after some tech priests take in the knowledge from the Data Assault programs?
 
I don't think we should upgrade the Sanctus Furorem until we figure out grav-shear weapons. If we're lucky, we might be able to get ordnance versions of the weapons which would make the Titan extremely powerful if equipped with them.

Well we can do one of the Nova upgrades next turn and replace it with Sheer (they both take two years) and we need to get Jacob his sword.

I just want to have Ridcully on hand to do see em for max boni.

Oh...

@Durin
1. Is it because the code is too long/complicated for Ridcully to see it in it's entirety? (Or the more obvious answer is there be goodies on em that you don't want us cheating to get :D)
2. How does Ridcully rate his chances at diverting the Waargh towards Valinor ATM?

2. a lot

Oh good now to capitalise on it.

Though I get the feeling this is why you didn't want us to get our mitts on the ruins :p.
