except its NOT a consern of survival. we have 100 years...thats like 20 turns! TWENTY..... it only takes 3-4 turns to do the expansion. we can afford to wait and get out of debt.
also do you really think that being in debt has NO consequences? even if you CAN just say "no, im not paying cas I have the bigger army" is also telling the everyone ELSE that you can't be trusted on such things....which means no one will ever let you go into debt to THEM since.....you don't pay it.
not to mention other people might decide to not pay their debts to YOU to spite you.
and yes, I know in this case the trust is ....well....trusting. but why should we force the issue when its NOT necessary? (cas we still have another 15 turns before it becomes critical.)
speaking of critical. I would add that the only way this will be worth it in this upcomming invasion is if they send a army (the expansion won't help against a navy afterall)
AND that the army is not so big that we can't beat it on land with or without it (unlikely, but possable)
AND that the army is not so SMALL that we don't need the extra solders....
that seems even LESS liekly....but maybe the reason they are even trying is cas they have some superweapon that renders a army useless?...then the extra size does nothing?
and I'm pretty sure this is the army with the superweapon right?. so they are probably not going to send a army. they will send some sort of shinanigin to make our army useless regardless of size.....what difference does a extra million solders do when the enemy throws a nuke?
Yes, but getting it done ASAP, means that we can do other actions in the time alloted, perhaps even actions that were before locked because we couldn't do it.
100 Years is indeed a very long time, but we do have to be economic with our time.
And no I do think it can be a problem I'm very clear on that.
As far as I can tell it only becomes a problem when one world tries to call it in, or when people use threatening to default on it as a political weapon that I see it as a serious threat.
What I don't think is that it's an immediate problem.
I can't see say...us calling in all the debt on Vanaheim, because that would be stupid we would destroy their economy and everyone else's. It's like dropping an economic hydrogen bomb, a MAD scenario. I'm not an economic's expert, but I am a historian. Calling in debt enmass never ends well for everyone. That's why I doubt it will happen.
Same with using the default either as a weapon or out of necessity.
If other people start using debt as a weapon out of spite then their the ones with whom the rest of the Trust has an issue and the Trust will bring the full force of the law and possibly military down on the idiot's head. In other words unlikely, but the general idea is the same for any world under any situation.
Because it isn't an issue. Vanaheim is in significantly more debt to us alone, never mind it's other debts and its nowhere near an issue.
I'm confident in saying there's no if about it though the expansion of the Helguard would help an orbital invasion more super elite boarding troops.
Mate you do remember this is chaos right? One of their big advantages is that they have significantly more manoeuvrability compared to us and if Tzeench is giving this his seal of approval and aid (remember he really wants humanity off Avernus so we don't accidentally make it kill all life in the galaxy) He can move trillions of men, hundreds of thousands of ships, thousands of Astartes, hundreds of titans and decades of Sorcerer Lords to make this happen.
On top of this, Tzeench is the
sorcerer lord. As in ya thought the Abomination brought a lot a Daemons ****ing watch this "THOUSANDS SONS ACTIVATE!"
Depending on how well this is sanctioned we could be looking at anything from an over confident polity gunning for us, to a near Black Crusade whose only purpose is to rip our heads off. One that unfortunately has a very easy into our territory if it can negotiate passage through Valinor from the Slaaneshi domain.
As for the Superweapon...we dunno. It could be something they use on the ground, which could range from something that applies a massive debuff, a permanently active Daemon gate, a super warp laser or heck just something to supercharge a psyker. Or it could be an orbital weapon, designed to infect our ships with scrap code, pummel us from long range or summon daemons into our ship. All we know is that a Lord of Change has been keeping it hidden from divination so I'd wager its something impressive.
