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

[DragonParadox]

I mean, the Sons of Malice is the only proof that Malice exists but we still believe in his existence. We don't think it's Chaos Undivided or one of the Four.

Click to shrink...

I don't, or rather I do not believe it is definitive that he is a Chaos God and not just a very powerful Undivided Daemon, the same goes for the supposed 'god of atheism' who feels more like an old tongue in cheek joke than anything else.

Compilation Part Five

Misc/Uncategorized

Doubling down on ruin exploration will only allow you to find what is there faster and will not change what there is to find, I have already determined that.

Click to shrink...

I cannot help but think of the Imperium Secundus.

Click to shrink...

One of the few Petty Imperiums that paid attention to logistics

Click to shrink...

they (Genetors) instead give a passive chance to find new species, I am very wary of giving you too many actions

Click to shrink...

Main advantage of Hive is that it is better defended.

Click to shrink...

40k humanity seems to be tougher then modern humanity, and it is militarizing the whole planet, why do you think I called it Cadia style?

Click to shrink...

How much would a juvenat clinic(with the brand new STC we found) catering to rich and powerful visitors improve our Tourism?

Click to shrink...

It would be expensive and require exotic material but wold massively increase tourism.

Click to shrink...

You started near the end of the 43rd millennium.

Click to shrink...

Everyone keeps mentioning four time that the Imperium disintegrated, I can not think of more then 2, and even then disintegrated is a serous exaggeration of what happened.

Also Chaos is not nearly as reliant on the Astronomicon, they can function in places it does not reach, such as the Eye of Terror.

Also you are forgetting the psychological shock of the God-Emperors' death, people will not react in the same way once their God is dead

Click to shrink...

Actually you can, the big difference is that there is an external threat - humanity is always better at cooperating in the face of an external threat to its existence.

Also honor and keeping you word, both as an individual and as a group, matters far more in 40k then it does in real life

Click to shrink...

I'd really like to be able to have our own artisan forges on Avernus... Would it be possible to do that in the future?

Click to shrink...

It might be possible but is unlikely, you do not have the right sort of culture

Click to shrink...

Given communication and travel issues forming any large polity will be very hard

Click to shrink...

Yes neighboring Sub-Sectors will be close enough to make deals with and even rule once the warp storm goes down, it is anything sector size or larger when you start having issues.

Click to shrink...

Polyamory is not standard in the Imperium though cheating on your spouse is among the Nobility. Imperial culture is massively diverse not much is standard

Click to shrink...

You do not have to worry about Thrones too much as you can order more of your production to produce Thrones rather then material.

Click to shrink...

In general Nobles are in favor of hereditary power

Click to shrink...

Will you ever implement mechanics for the benefits a economy of scale grants?

Click to shrink...

Possibly but unlikely for anything involving advanced material.

Click to shrink...

What'd happen if we get a Nat1 on an option where we get, say, +140 or something in modifiers?

Click to shrink...

Something would go badly wrong. I would then roll to see how bad it was but there is a chance that you might lose the adviser if it was anything dangerous.

Of course I roll every turn to see if each of your advisers are killed.

Click to shrink...

As a note it will be very hard to take a Hive or even get past the first layer of defenses within hours.

Click to shrink...

The big benefit is the Blink Spider detection, if you didn't have that Avernus would have soon become hated by the rest of the Nine Worlds
also it is happening in the background but doesn't get a mention.

You are also underestimating how useful blinking will be to Battle Psykers, if Xavier could have blinked he would have won the fight with The Angel of Betrayal far easier

Also some researches do not lead to major benefits, that is why you have to choose what researches you do.

Click to shrink...

NA means that it is too small to have any impact, treat as 0 except that you need to have at least one ship on the route
The impact of distance is already counted in the cargo costs

Click to shrink...

It will happen automatically and you will pay as much as it costs to build that number of Knights which is in military datasheet (4,000 Thrones, 196 AM, 4 EM)

Click to shrink...

Spy network does not apply the year the network is finished

Click to shrink...

I see was afraid it got destroyed or something before we could reverse engineer it.

Click to shrink...

If something like that happens I will tell you

Click to shrink...

You don't, also an orbital elevator is a major defensive liability.

Also shipping speed has not effected any of your orbital action times and is unlikely.

Click to shrink...

I do not anticipate you running out of things to research anytime this century, or next century to be honest.

Click to shrink...

Interesting idea, I have already determined what it is but I had not even considered that random friendlies may turn up, I will add it to the random events table.

Click to shrink...

On other xenos species, I will be using the occasional either minor or original xenos species in my quest.

Click to shrink...

That would be nice.

If anyone has any ideas please mention them.

Click to shrink...

The reason he can't reverse engineer it is because it does not have a large enough psychic imprint of it construction.

Click to shrink...

The imprint for the ship is big enough to be detected it is the smaller vehicles within the ship that do not have enough of a imprint remaining to use.

Click to shrink...

The main aim is to move the story along faster, I expect you to remain in the Warp Storm for over a hundred years and want to actually reach the next part by the end of the year.

Click to shrink...

Just as a comment basing your decisions on how often attacks have happened in the past is a very bad idea, there is a set chance of something happening every year and it dos not change which means that there is the same chance of an invasion arriving on any given turn.

Click to shrink...

To the first, no i would not.
To the second I will be rolling (for Events) every 10 years

also as a note there is a chance for an invasion to be too small to need battle turns

Click to shrink...

Yes it would be, that is why it was designed.

Click to shrink...

The reason why is in character because nat 1s represent very low probability events that do not show up in predictions and out of character because I do not want to make you immune to nat 1s.

Click to shrink...

The new war mechanic might mean that there are hidden benefits to the anti-_ training options, like hidden tactical/strategic avenues of action being unveiled by Durin.
is this the case, or is +5 the only benefit?

Click to shrink...

yes there may be

Click to shrink...

Not in this case, you are trying to find out the reasons behind the biology rather then the details which is what the Advanced Medical Scanner is useful for and the Flying Research Fortress is mostly useful for anything involving exploration.

Click to shrink...

Maybe, there is also a chance of Eldar Farseer meddling as well as modifiers for the enemy that you do not know about.

Click to shrink...

I wonder if we will have to deal with a Enlightenment movement that sparks revolutionary actions which we either have to stamp our or bend to their demands.

I can see Surt creating it cause we are not progressive enough.

Click to shrink...

Surt is patent enough to try to work though proper channels for quite a while before doing anything like that and was the person arguing that you need to unite to survive.

Click to shrink...

I will overrule any vote that includes you sacrificing your men for this reason, the governor is smarter then that.
Having them lead the assaults for the rest of the campaign yes but not deliberately choosing options that will get more killed then need to be killed.

Click to shrink...

The only people who developed that tech (soulstones) are the Eldar, I severely doubt that you would be able to mimic them.

Click to shrink...

What is possible for Dark Age humans is not necessarily possible for you, that would be like saying what is possible for modern humans is possible for people in the early industrial age.

Also while there are sects that oppose that law of the Machine God they are a heretical minority that does not have any say over the local Mechanicus.

Click to shrink...

You expect that their training modifier will reach at least +150.

So far no other worlds are planning on introducing either the Avernite military training techniques or the Muspelheim education curriculum though several are planning on watered down versions

Click to shrink...

It is safe to say that a member of the Governor's Own is a match for a Veteran Space Marines, mostly because of having far better equipment.

Click to shrink...

Interestingly enough if you did not have the tech-priests working there was another seven hours until the reactor went off.

Click to shrink...

Perhaps we can get a ruling that knowing how to turn xeno tech off safely is not heresy?

Click to shrink...

That will be hard to get but is actually possible.

Click to shrink...

So, how much of the irreplaceable timeless army have we lost? Percentagewise.

Click to shrink...

29%

Click to shrink...

As far as you know humans evolved naturally.

Click to shrink...

Actually until then I had not made the connection between your discovery and an SCV but the basic trooper armour and Impaler do come from Starcraft.

Click to shrink...

Most of what you have found is not from Starcraft, I may copy one of the few know Dark Age relics but will probably not.

Click to shrink...

Do not rely on me not having another war, there is a set chance for an invasion each year and it is possible for there to be multiple in quick succession, also you know that there is an Ork Waaagh that promised to come back.

Click to shrink...

Do the imported education methods from Muspelheim include the Scientific Method, Critical Thinking, etc as part of their curriculum? If so, has there been any noticeable deviance in the average mindset of the newer Avernite generations in comparison to the Imperial norm (as normal as it can get for a Fortress-Death World, in any case)?

Also does being the Lieutenant-General of the Helltroopers grant additional security against the chance of wildlife-death in comparison to a PDF Lieutenant-General position?

Click to shrink...

except with more dangerous animals

Click to shrink...

The Imperial Palace is 10, the rest of terra is 8 or 9.

Click to shrink...

What did buying all of Atlas' non-restricted STCs give us? I'm comparing our incomes from before and after that final trade and there doesn't seem to be any major increases.

Click to shrink...

Given that you income doubled within two years of buying the STCs i think they had a major effect.

Click to shrink...

So without the Atlas STCs, it would be at +1000 rather than +1900?

Click to shrink...

You are currently at +2596.86% and would be at around +1800 without Atlas. You also gained the ability to build several military assets from that trade.

Click to shrink...

Those +50 to +100 are on top of your existing +2000 or so
for example right now +100 would increase your income by under 4%.

Click to shrink...

As far as Saren can tell the Life Eater will eventually consume the continent that it is used on but that this would take hundreds of years and it would be possible to wipe it out before that.

Click to shrink...

3. Xavier and Khol are both graduates of the Avernus Officer Academy but Khol seems to get more stats out of it. Did the instructors just wave Xavier through to get the hive-killing witch out of their academy as quickly as possible?
4. According to Lexicanum, it usually takes months to launch a Deathstrike due to administrative and religious rituals. I know we've got the former down pat, but were the religious requirements laxened by Britton or do they just not take very long compared to the admin stuff?

Click to shrink...

3. It is because Xavier had better stats when he entered and so had less improvements.
4. Both, mostly the latter

Click to shrink...

1. Is it possible to open this up as a major Saint Lin project after he's done reforming the Ecclesiarchy with Good Deeds or by "far easier said than done" do you simply mean we can't?
2. Are the Grey Knights open to corruption now?
3. Worship of wildlife is heresy, I believe? The constitution does say that it's illegal to worship xenos, after all.
4. Does Ynnead count as a xeno?

Click to shrink...

1. I mean that you can't right now but may be able to at some point (some very very distant point)
2. How would you know? But probably not as they have enough willpower to avoid corruption
3. They generally are killed by the wildlife before it becomes and issue
4 Yes

Click to shrink...

Looking at Avernus' character sheet and was reminded of some stuff, namely Military Tradition and the Pious population trait. If Syr hadn't already gotten it, would she have likely gained the 'Pious' trait just from being an Avernite? Will she eventually get a bonus from Military Tradition?

Click to shrink...

no, population traits are fa smaller scale then character traits

Click to shrink...

1. What does having high Mechanicus morale give us?
2. Why did some Living Saints grow wings? Are humans part bird?

Click to shrink...

1. Reduced Chance of trouble with the Mechanicus
2. Because that is how Angels are visualized by many of the faithful

Click to shrink...

1. So will Ridcully get a +13/14 from wearing the BC jewellery if he does Cheating?
2. Have there ever been problems with these Avernus warp animals leaking into the Materium due to psykers losing control of their powers and stuff? Have they ever been intentionally weaponised, either by cultists or our own forces?
3. This isn't a reference to the Black Irons...is it?

Click to shrink...

1. No, he will get a +9
2. Yes but not very often and usually when there are deamons present (which they then hunt and eat), No they have not been weaponised
3. No, it is a reference to the Death Korps of Krieg

Click to shrink...

what if the fleet was coming here to Exterminatus Helhiem and the planet mind just went "nope"

Click to shrink...

then it would probably be orbiting Avernus

Click to shrink...

1. Well what about surgically replacing a person's blood with Saint's Blood? We do that IRL occasionally (minus the "saint" bit).
3. When I asked about talking with the Sirens and Trolls to learn some of their ancient stories and legends, you said that there would be issues with the Inquisition. Wouldn't arming a violent species and having them be subordinate to us also raise issues with the Inquisition?
4. Can we continue to tutor Syr after she turns 18?

Click to shrink...

1. You have no clue what would happen and don't feel inclined to test
3. There would be little trouble if you gave the Trolls bottom of the line equipment, also the power of the Inquisition is in decline
4. Yes, but it will take longer and you will have far lower success chances (and lower limits)

Click to shrink...

1. How come? I'm sure we can get a volunteer from the Black Irons or Adeptus Astra Telepathica (psykers are heavily indoctrinated).
2. Does "bottom of the line" mean spears, stubguns, or lasguns?

Click to shrink...

1. Saint Lin doesn't want to donate blood for science
2. stubguns

Click to shrink...

But the planets are not in the Warp Storms. They are behind them, which is a pretty crucial difference. There is a time and place to call Warp shenanigans but this isn't one of them. I haven't read anything about Warp Storms messing with the timestream this bad outside of the Eye of Terror which is a much more powerful Warp Storm than the one we're in and actually covers the planets within it.

Click to shrink...

They might not be in the Warp Storms but they are maintained within them

Click to shrink...

Stop trying to apply science, it deosnt work

Click to shrink...

Here you go, . A quick question though, for things like this do you only take the proposals that got voted by more than 50% of the total voters?

Click to shrink...

yes I only take proposals that get at least 50% of the votes
if a proposal gets 50% I flip a coin to decide if it should be accepted

Click to shrink...

No, i determine what is in the ruins before you even open them

Click to shrink...

1) If we get Vanaheim's shipwrights to attend the post cognition learning project, will the chance for a success on the ancient ship construction technique study be improved?
2) Did Frederick visit his fiefdom on Asgard? This is his first time visiting Asgard, IIRC.

Click to shrink...

1. Probably not
2. Yes he did

Click to shrink...

1. (On getting Knight-Titans) Impossible in any large numbers, you can get the odd freeblade but no formations

Click to shrink...

he is not willing to put such an important duty as spreading the New Imperial Trust in the Nine Worlds in other peoples hands, once the New Imperial Truth is firmly rooted he will go about setting up a more missionary organisation for when the Warp Storm ends but that is for later
also the new Imperial Truth is going to be nearly impossible to spread outside of the Space Marine Protectorates as it contradicts the Imperial Creed and does not have a god backing it yet so provides no support or holy effects

Click to shrink...

yes you will be able to effect the nearby areas but the Imperial Trust is unlikely to ever cover a major portion of the galaxy and its missionaries will not be able to spread the Imperial Trust much beyond its borders

Click to shrink...

This, the era of galactic scale human anything is over

Click to shrink...

Wait what mistakes? Didn't they basically get caught with their pants down? I mean I'm pretty sure that DAoT humans only fell apart was the Men of Iron being corrupted by Chaos, and then suddenly dealing with shit tons of psykers out of nowhere. Not a whole lot you could do to counter that.

Click to shrink...

yes and then various previously peaceful aliens took advantage of the chaos, humanity seems to have decided to blame the aliens as much or more then the AIs or psykers

Click to shrink...

I thought that Humanity hated Xenos because the Eldar screwed them over. Though if that's why humanity hates xenos its a shit excuse. I'm sure that Chaos manipulated the previously friendly aliens just as much as they manipulated the Ais and psykers.

Click to shrink...

Sorta. As far as I can tell it started post the eldar fucking up literally so when there were warp storms everywhere all the Xenos turned on humanity.

Whether Humanity also turned on them however is unclear.

Click to shrink...

I am sure they did, however humanity blamed the Aliens, AIs and Psykers

Click to shrink...

it probably did, 40k humans are no saints

Click to shrink...

worshiping your planet isn't exactly xeno rasher and is actually very common among primitive peoples

Click to shrink...

they have so many examples that they are willing to give some away, particularly given the fact that they expect to find a lot more

Click to shrink...

1) has anyone on the High or Low Council expressed nervousness at the insane rate of psyker births on Avernus?
2) what does Klovis-Ultan think about the psyker-issue?
3) has either of the other Inquisitors said anything?

Click to shrink...

1. Yes there is a good degree of nervousness but the fact that Saint Lin is from Avernus helps calm them down
2. He views it as a great asset and a major danger
3. Not that you known of

Click to shrink...

It would only be "far easier" as far as we know. Just as blinking gives the opponent little time to react, it gives little time for its user to react to. If the angel managed to anticipate where Xavier would teleport (likely, considering Space Marines are very very skilled and Xavier was just a novice swordsman), he'd be able to place his sword or stab in the right place and Xavier would never see it coming. On top of that, Xavier hadn't been humbled at the time making the event even more likely.

Click to shrink...

Against the Angel of Betrayal phasing did not help, he had a deamon sword which could hurt Xavier even when phased. In fact most of the top tier combatants will be able to hurt Xavier even when phased

Click to shrink...

More important question...are Swordo's Crimson Crusaders canon in Embers?

Click to shrink...

if I get permission yes

Click to shrink...

are many of the Canon characters still... well alive, like Calagar He'tan ect?

Click to shrink...

most of them were dead before the emperor, it has been 3,000 years since canon and few Space Marines make it past 1,000

Click to shrink...

Any new famous hero's that we would have atleast heard of through the inquisitors

Click to shrink...

large numbers, most of which I can't be bothered to naem
However Ragnar Blackmane is the Great Wolf, Mephistion is still alive and Marnas Calgar is a Dreadnought

Click to shrink...

yes, the events involving Primarchs never happened

Click to shrink...

Even in Death will Calgar punch things to death with two giant power fists.

Click to shrink...

Power Fists with built in bolters even, he had one of the easiest times adjusting to a Dreadnoughts weapons ever

Click to shrink...

5. How well is the Ecclesiarchy doing at embodying the virtues of the New Imperial Truth?
6. What percentage of children on Avernus go to the Schola Progenium?

Click to shrink...

5. Moderately well
6. Well under 1%, closer to 0.01%

Click to shrink...

1. That's a rather small amount. If a third of the population is children, that's less than 150,000 children which is likely far less than the amount of orphans Avernus produces. Is there any chance we can expand the Schola? Not only to encompass Avernus but also the rest of the Nine Worlds. They're gonna run out of commissar sooner or later.

Click to shrink...

1. There are other orphanages

Click to shrink...

2) Who's overseeing the Rotbart fiefdom on Asgard?
3) If the fiefdom is being delegated, does Frederick have any kind of oversight?
4) Do our advisors get marriage proposals? I'm sure there are noble ladies trying to get in bed with that hunky Avernite Chief Diplomat.
6) Would giant insect lamps work on Avernite, specifically the damn spiders?

Click to shrink...

2. A carefully chosen Avernite administrator
3. Yes he does
4. Occasionally, none have accepted yet however
6. No

Click to shrink...

3: Jane's thought about approaching other systems with a plan for us to infiltrate the criminal element (because of the Avernite criminal element) and then coordinate with local systems to wipe them out?
4: If this is possible, would there still be opportunity to gain undercover agents? (Less likely of course, but still possible?)

Click to shrink...

3. She thinks that only some of the systems will agree but none will be offended
4. Not much of one

Click to shrink...

no, you don't have the DAoT humans, they were in a stasis field which collapsed thousands of years ago

Click to shrink...

With that in mind domesticating everything on Avernus and possibly Avernusfying some choice future worlds of Avernus Colonies might ensure that Fortress worlds are probably full of Avernus style lifeforms and Avernite style Warriors.

Click to shrink...

far easier said then done

Click to shrink...

the Imperium had buffer zones larger then you can travel in a year and had trillions of reserves
your biggest problem is that while your troops are a order of magnitude more deadly then the Imperiums if not more you lack their ability to throw army after army at a problem
also a lot of other armies are going to get more deadly then their 40k equivalents, the Eldar already ahve

Click to shrink...

You are underestimating how hard it is for a criminal to get from one world to another

Click to shrink...

as things are all creatures are purely your responsibility but that means if you take any offworld and they do any damage it could be very very bad for you (if it was a Siren who then killed a human you being deposed or kicked out of the Imperial Trust is a possiblity)

Click to shrink...

because someone going to Avernus and dying doing something dangerous is one thing but you taking a xenos creature offworld and it eating someones soul is another

Click to shrink...

their military can't permanently contaminate ecosystems, eat poeples souls ect.
also as things stand you will have to develop some system of getting taking Avernite creature offworld vetted or be blamed the first time there is an incident and given far more restrictions

Click to shrink...

metal is being used to make material, each material produced requires metal

Click to shrink...

Good thing that an Avernite is not part of the review board or else things they see as no dangers would get passed that could lead to the destruction of the whole Trust!

Click to shrink...

there is a good reason Avernites were banned

Click to shrink...

This is 40k there is no such thing as aerodynamics

Click to shrink...

Oh are colonies done by the star system or by the planet?

Click to shrink...

by star system

Click to shrink...

1: Does Asgard have any interest in us building them some Knight Engineers?
2: Does Vanaheim want to purchase any help on their colony founding?
4: Not allowed to buy colonists from Midgard any more?
5: Since Midgard has a Large Shipyard, can we purchase ships from them? (Up to Cruiser level?)
6: Since Asgard has a Small Shipyard, can we purchase ships from them? (Up to Escort level?)

Click to shrink...

1. Yes, they are among the other knights
2. No
4. No, the standard of living on Midgard has increased to the point that they do not want to move to Avernus for a better life
5. Not yet, they are focusing on building up they own defence fleet
6. No same

Click to shrink...

1) Do we have information on how Helheim's quarantine was handled During DAoT and Age of Strife?
2) Considering that food shipments is a major pathway for invasive species, will selling food to Midgard increase chance of something undesirable getting off-world?
3) Can we reduce risks of invasive species by moving all trading activities to Cumae orbit and implementing extensive quarantine/sterilization protocols?

Click to shrink...

1. No
2. Yes a bit
3. No, those protocols already exist

Click to shrink...

Which class is Vanaheim's flagship?

Click to shrink...

it seems to be a cross between a Hero Class Battleship and a Champion Class Battleship

Click to shrink...

So how The Well of Urd Would fare against the other Command Spaceships that we have found?

Click to shrink...

it would probably lose due to not being a dedicated warship

Click to shrink...

I mean, the only people who are probably better at boarding than us are Tyranids and SMs.

Click to shrink...

Nitpick: Custodes probably beat us too. Or Daemonships.

Click to shrink...

also the scarier Ork and Eldar
actually most eldar now

Click to shrink...

well Ork Waagh and Nid Hive fleets will be considered easy compared to what is to come

Click to shrink...

Presumably there must be stuff in there saying things like "there is much more we have to discover" like in all those wishy washy sciency thingies.

Click to shrink...

Given that what you have found are technical readouts, no there are not

Click to shrink...

, who won Kaurava in your setting?

Click to shrink...

sorry I got which one it was mixed up
Necrons won

Click to shrink...

I am not saying that there will not be a strain of super-nids who have taking something from the Orks what I am saying is that what is taken will be very different

Click to shrink...

I have already decided on the details
I will say that I considered spore-growth along with a few other ideas but will not tell you which idea won

Click to shrink...

And if Britton do as he has been doing with all the STCs and gives a copy to the Mechanicus?

Click to shrink...

I am not sure, they would definitely be willing to make an alliance with you

Click to shrink...

If we'd searched Storm's End first and found the STC Constructor During the early years, would you have restructured the Planetary Governor Quest to a Sector Governor Quest?

Click to shrink...

I would have tried

Click to shrink...

Unless Biel-tan mobilises their entire craftworld and dedicates themselves to destroying us, no one has the combination of quantity and quality necessary to kill us on the ground. Everything else can be fought off perpetually with natural birth counteracting the effects of attrition.

Click to shrink...

you are not the only force that are massively more powerful then their 40k equivalents, actually within a few thousand years most of the survivors will be
Eldar were the first to recive this boost
the difference between a pre-Yneard Eldar army and a current one is similar to the difference between a average imperial Guard army and a Avernite army with the tech you just found

Click to shrink...

It would be nice to find STC's for the DAoT starbases and defences that were in orbit around Avernus in the DAoT

Click to shrink...

very unlikely however, the only places left unexplored are the ruins on the lunar facilities which were pretty comprehensively razed

Click to shrink...

1.What chance do we have of finding the other parts of the Black Crystal armor?
2.When will Eugenetics start making a visible effect on the Avernite population
3.How exactly does the Juvnat work?

Click to shrink...

1. You have no clue
2. Quite some time, at the very least a hundred years after colonization and probably a lot more
3. In my world it is effectively youth drugs, when taken it can either prevent someone from aging or with a greater dose reverse the effects of aging. After a while lethal byproducts build up preventing any more from being taken which is whey basic can only extend your life by a hundred years

Click to shrink...

1) What do our advisors think about establishing a tradition of pan-Trust wargames?
2) Would Fabricator General Britton be open to having the Skitarii, the Techguard and the Titan Legions join in?
3) Would such a thing introduce economic maluses?
4) Would such a thing potentially strengthen inter-planetary bonds?

Click to shrink...

1. A worthwhile but expensive idea
2. He is fine with it
3. Yes
4. Yes, or weaken them

Click to shrink...

Given that the Planetary Governors fulfill the same role that the High Lords once did the execution for treason is not a problem, the reason is that you have the skills and experience to deal with psykers and no one else does
also if the psyker numbers grow high enough there ill be a push to give Ridcully a High Council seat and independence

Click to shrink...

there will be limits on what she can do even if she has enough learning to due Mechanicus

Click to shrink...

she will not be able to do anything at first but once you have started reforming the Mechancius she will be able to take forge actions

Click to shrink...

I am considering any world with 50 bil to be a Hive World

Click to shrink...

Can we have Syr study as a clergywoman? Her Pious trait shows that she has interest and the skills she'll pick up will be quite useful in a variety of areas.

Click to shrink...

no, Saint Lin is trying to have degree of separation of church and state and having a heir to a planetary governor train for the church would mess that up

Click to shrink...

What does Saint Lin think about the old noble favourite of Heir + Army + Navy + Church?

Click to shrink...

that it is possible but he only wants priests who have the calling, not those that join out of family duty

Click to shrink...

1.Not particularly, while Avernus may have been founded to assault deamon worlds that was when the Imperium existed, the situation has change so much that the old purpose is useless, you do not even know if their are any deamon worlds within a years travel distance

Click to shrink...

In general the resource colonies being envisioned would have an initial population between a million and a hundred million, be focused on producing large amount of raw materials and be on otherwise uninhabitable worlds. It is likely that they would have a relatively stable or slowly growing population, of which a major proportion is native. The native proportion is most likely almost entirely working class

Click to shrink...

if you ask me specific questions I should be able to remember
I know that the reason for the lack of cheap CL and BC was the lack of useful roles, the lack of fast GC was pure chance (there were a few holes that I rolled for) though it could be attributed to several things (being to close to Fast BS for example and not capable of doing that much more then fast BC)

That was after the dark age of technology where literally every friendly Xenos race either betrayed mankind in a giant orgy of violence or was killed/enslaved/corrupted by the races that betrayed and preyed upon mankind in said orgy of violence.

2. Does city size influence defences, apart from the defence bonus?

Click to shrink...

1. the base is determined by population and the modifiers for education, factories and technology while the bonus is determined entirely by buildings and technology. As cities get larger the productivity actually goes down a bit to represent inefficiencies

3. no they record several dozen ideas that were debated at the time, ranging from virus to Chaos to Eldar to human mistreatment but have no idea as to which, if any, is correct. There is actually a theory by some of the more recent Muspelheim Historians that it was a group of Necrons that remained awake and considered that humanity could develop into a threat, though said theory has no evidence for it.

1. there is a series of legends, it sums up to taking being Lamenters to the extreme, both the good and the bad
one of the common legends is that their luck got so bad they they were scatters into small groups or even individuals and that were they appear disaster will soon follow. they often end up defeating the disaster but dying in the process
a common line in their legends is "of all of the Son's of the Angel they have stepped furthest on the Path of Doom, and their heroism is matched only by their cursed fate"

6) In theory, can cyclonic torpedoes be downscaled to non-exterminatus weapon?
7) How much better Librarians are than normal Neoastropaths?
8) Do we have stasis chambers? What about Blood Dragons?
9) How much are cultists in stasis safer to carry through warp? What about ones in artificial coma, or criosleep?
10) How realistic are the rumors about Lamentors? How's likely that they actually are somewhere relatively close?
11) Do we have any idea if they're actually attract problems or just subconsciously attracted to problems? Or both?
12) Did we tried to bypass Questling Beast stranger effect?
13) What's happening with written depictions and with drawings?
14) Did he described it to strong psykers, to Saint Lin and to blanks?
15) Do we have lists of things that Questling Beast isn't? "It is not a plant, it is not colonel Brindos, it's not pink with violet squares, it doesn't have power to turn stone liquid..."
16) Does Ridcully have any insight if it's the Eldar who awakened Ork gods? Maybe they know that it will happen because it's their work? That passage about old allies...

Click to shrink...

1. yes
2. yes some
3. not really, most are pretty young and several only exist as Ork slaves
4. not very on Avernus, badly if you took them offworld. there is a lot of fear of Avernite lifeforms that is not limited to conservatives (totally rational fear)
5. bad idea, a Siren going out of control and eating a allies soul is a worst case scenario (Imperial Trust declaring war on Aernus worst case)
6. no
7. a lot, one to three orders of magnitude
8. yes and no
9. safrer but by no means safe, also to expensive and cryolsleep is not very safe at all, at least in numbers. this has come up a lot I should emphasis that anything that looks like going reeving to capture souls would lead to major diplomatic issues both within the Imperial Trust and with external groups (the only other people who do that are Dark Eldar and Chaos)

5) How close is the closest Chaos Xeno civilization?
6) Did we tried to make lists of things that Questling Beast isn't and it didn't worked too, or we didn't tried?
7) Are we sure that there is no abhumans evolved from original Helheim colonists around?
8) So, are we sure that worshipers of Planetary Mind come to it purely on their own, and there is no some subtle influence?

1. Can astartes use the education chairs?
2. These are questions for Nif and Mus (so effectively Surt I guess). What were the roles of Muspelheim and Nifleheim during the Dark Age of technology. They were the three original colony worlds in the nine worlds, with Avernus serving as a research centre and at first centre of government with the roles of the rest of the nine worlds we either know or can guess at, but of Nifleheim and Muspelheim we know nothing.
4. How did Muspelheim and Niflehiem retain the expertise to effectively remove the psyker gene from it's population after the age of strife had begun. In fact how did they have the expertise to remove it from not only their own populations (which we assume were comparatively small) and Svartalfheim?
5. Do they know what technology was included in the treaty that Malcador the Sigilite over saw between Svartalfheim and the Mechanicus?
6. Was the "gift" (bribe) they gave to Svartalfhiem connected to the treaty between the two, or the technology that was handed over?
7. Where and how were the Jotun created? Did Muspelheim create them as they seem to have a certain expertise in genetic engineering if the Psyker gene removal is any indication.
8. Were either Muspelheim and Niflehiem attacked during the war of Iron?
9. What happened to the Men of Stone of the Nine worlds?
10. When was the Well of Urd created and launched?

2. Muspelheim was a mining world/research world focusing on thermal energy. Niflheim a promethium mining world and eugenics experiment.
4. unknown, luck possibly. also if the Mechanicus could do it, and they did, it would not be that hard for someone who at the time had most of a DAoT tech base that had a massive amount of research into psykers and their genes
5. no
6. between the two but Klovis-Ultan suspects that it is the secrets of fire
7. they were created on Helheim for the colonization of Jotunheim
8. yes but were not the main targets, the main Men of Iron efforts in the sub-sector were aimed at Helheim
9. unknown, presumably destroyed int eh war or lost in the age of strife
10. it was created around 1 k years before the age of strife and launched soon after

Click to shrink...

the general tradition is to make a Lamneter squad, given them an escort and then send them into the galaxy before they have more then a few decades experience
the luck generally takes a while to kick in

Man how much has this messed with Lamenter culture, as much as scattered bands across the galaxy can have culture, if they are constantly having mini foundings like this. Like if two Lamenter groups intersect how different would they be because while geneseed resonance can do a lot I don't think it make complete strangers with completely different histories recognizably similar.

Click to shrink...

they have learned to keep secure data that they pass on copies of to their descendants, whether they meet them or not. also the nature of a Lamenter leads to a lot of overlap no matter what. they all have the same doom upon them.
they also share what they know when they meet another lamenter, which occasionally happens en mass when dozens or hundreds of bands find themselves in a single place just before a disaster. it is rumored that the entire chapter was present for the Fall of Medusa
while there have been a lot of changes there is still a surprisingly intact culture

on penal legions they are by nature unreliable forces with poor morale. you could use them in desperation but never against chaos and in general it is more effective to deploy regulars then ship cannon fodder to distant worlds

Click to shrink...

on sending criminals to Avernus that would lead to even more dissociation between Avernus and the Trust, if the most common foreigner you encounter is criminals it would lead to a bad view of offworlders in general.

Click to shrink...

1. It is better that criminals are put in danger, than good law abiding citizens.
2. If they die on the battlefield, then they aren't occupying prison cells, costing us money. As penal troops they are actually productive, if not as productive as regulars. [edit] Although we probably are putting our prisoners to work.
3. If the scum of the Trust die on distant ork worlds, then they will have been removed from the gene pool, saving us future expenses in socially inherited dysfunction.
4. They don't have to be paid in money when they can fight for freedom, when money is a concern.

Click to shrink...

1. any danger they prevent is counteracted by the danger that armed criminals who may believe that they have nothing to lose near your forces provides
2. regulars are more cost effective after taking that into account. among other things pay is a small proportion of the cost of a regiment compared to equipment and transport costs, you need to either deal with the major discipline risks that they pose to nearby units including that of actual mutiny if they think that they are going to be sent of suicide missions, which is another cost that is multiplied by being on the end of a supply line, and its not like you have prison without forced labour for large numbers anywhere on the Trust to begin with.
3. executing them has the same effect without costing as much
4. this is to small to matter

in other words while they may have some uses the risks that they pose outweigh any small benefits that they provide, especially as they are a force that lacks the Imperial Trusts greatest strength, discipline by their very nature.

the only place it may be cost effect to deploy them is on your own worlds, which is the last place you want to deploy them

Click to shrink...

1. Nothing to lose besides a chance at freedom, or at least better conditions in the prison.
3. We don't execute all our criminals. Surely some prison-labourers with really long sentences would volunteer if given above incentives.
[edit] But I can understand why that simply might not be politically or socially advisable.

Click to shrink...

it not that its not politically viable it is that it is exchanging the reliability of your forces for a unit of dubious value and cost effectiveness, that the greater the amount of use you get out of it the greater the chance that it will literally revolt

1. Psyflame says it's made in a similar way to Incinerator fuel, and the only info on that says it's psychically impregnated and nothing more. In the book, Sanctified's crunch effects is negating the defence bonus a Daemonic creature gets against damage, same as force weapons and psychic powers do. In your interpretation, even without the Emperor around, do things still count as Sanctified when psychically impregnated for the purposes of anti-daemon effects?
2. Is designing new weapons something we can do? It's not tech-heresy as I understand it and even Selvanus Binary - a Forge World noted to have sticks jammed way too far up their butts even by Mechanicus standards - got in on it.
3. Is making psychoreactive nerve agent in the Mechancius' domain or Telepathica's?
4. Praesidium Protectivas are shields that contain fragments of the Emperor's armour in them. They're Very Rare in the RPG and it's noted to belong to the Adepta Sororitas, not specifically the Sisters of Battle.

4.2. Did any of the Sororitas elsewhere in the Asgard sub-sector have them for whatever reason?

5. Are hexagrammatic wards made with null circuitry in Embers as they are in Dark Heresy?
6. Can haywire weapons make "dead zones" in Embers?
7. 1d4chan says that graviton weapons and grav weapons are two different things, with the latter being a derivation of the former and having different effects. (They cite a canon source for this.)

the issue is that with shipyards the size of Vanaheim it is basically impossible to stop them from being a vulnerability. the best you can do is protect them with massive of defences and minefields which is what they have done. Avernus protected their by moving them away from Avernus, which is the main target for attacks but Vanaheim could not do the same as the shipyards are likely to be the main target

Honestly I feel that with all three polities goodies incorporated, plus Rosklide, plus having the colonies online, the dragons uplifted and the valinor worlds colonized we could probably fend off a Black Crusade type force as long as it's leader isn't ridiculous.

Hell if we do all this AND incorporated the Nest we'd be pretty set in our position. It won't be worth the cost to take us while the Orks are Waaaghing about. And let's be honest for a second pumped up Waaghs are everyone's biggest concern. Even Chaos.

generally forge worlds have a lot of defence pacts with other chaos polities that they supply, and even without those chaos has a habit of jumping on anyone who just took a forge world to prevent them getting a major advantage and to get it yourself, so chaos poloties only take a forge world if they think that can both take it and beat off all of their rivals attacking them jsut after

Abbadon would be slaughtered. He is terrifying and I would give him decent odds against any single Primarch or Eldrad. Against 2 prrimrches and Eldrad it would be a one sided massacre. Not to mention that in many ways the Black Libary is more secure then the Empoers Throne room ever was, and few hostile forces could even find it.

1. What is the immediate use Rotbart sees for the Warriors? I see use as additional psyker hunters as being the obvious one.
Apologies for the Warrior fixation ATM.
2. Slightly less attached to this, which Avernite critters have we handed over? Beer Grass and Nogs seem like the obvious ones, but others like the Carniflowers, Illusory pines (declared safe, but still) seem less likely and I believe we were asked to not take the Beserker fungus off world.
3. Just to check have the Eldar investigated the Assassins? Because they were one of the most powerful Imperial institutions by a very big margin. Them vanishing from all view is and conspicuously not ending up with the abomination is...at best suspicious at worst its a god damn conspiracy making em another patsy candidate.
3ii. If they and they found nothing how concerned should we be?

3. Do the Eldar seem like they're interested in "hiring" the services of "free" transcendents for lack of better terminology? Areatha and if he is one Vlad for instance? It seems like they need all the allies they can get. Of course getting them to agree is another matter, but if its to kick chaos.
4. Have the Eldar ever investigated humanities origins? I ask because there's so much crazy stuff in humanities genepool, we're excessively potent psykers compared to pretty much any species even by Eldar standards, we're the only species that can produce blanks naturally even the Eldar can't do that, we managed to make emps pretty much accidentally, the whole adaptability thing, and then there's the stuff we don't know about like Perpetuality (something whether natural or artificial seems to be human only)?

17 on average, though they had tech going into the low to mid 20s

@Durin, I just remembered that penal legion explosive collars are a thing, which should be much easier to produce and distribute than internal explosive implants. But what do you mean by "usually does not work"? This wouldn't be penal legion "obey or die", more like cyanide capsules for a spy to avoid torture by the enemy.

If controlled by the wearer it is an expensive form of sucked pill. If remote controlled then 1 person being mind controlled can blow up entire units
And penel legions are cannon fodder 99% of the time

Realized something about investigating the primordial sea: The second worst outcome was likely he gets corrupted, we fail to notice the Saint has fallen, and he drips feeds us straight into our own fall with the trust we have in him. Or to put it another way...I would suspect that there would be a range of rolls where @Durin would instead of showing us the roll for Lin successfully learning about it, he instead gives us the rolls of Lin hiding said fall, which would be successes.

With a bit of 'luck' some of the Avernus powerhouses including the weapons and Avernus itself would note and treat that with extreme prejudice. either that or even the 'gods' looking at the future and going all-in on a invasion to avoid being devoured by what is in the sea (I think).

After all Lin is not a exalted of intrigue^^.

I wonder which hurt the abom more, having 2 exaulted killed (one of them even got true-killed) along with a entire army.

or having failed to kill the last saint (cas I think its too late for him to make a second attempt, cas after this turn hes going in the webway) that apparently hurts his narrative or something so it'd be like if khorn decided to NOT attack a base.

By the way, should we let Lin complete his two research projects for the next 3 years before starting the preaching, or should we dump the research?

Click to shrink...

I'm inclined towards no, though that's at least in part because I consider the R&D we're currently doing to be a lot more important than some stuff we've done earlier. More relevantly, we don't really have any idea as to the quality of replacement piety advisor we'll get once Saint Lin dies. Well, besides the fact that having them meditate on the Nature of Chaos is extremely unlikely to end well.

 

[StormySky]

I'm guessing the successor can run Witch Hunter expansions and church infrastructure stuff, as well as do a lesser version of Those in the Shadows, Oversee Missionaries, and Keeping the Faith (also post-incursion preaching). Not sure if he can do anything else.

 

[Azgrin]

Curses really needs to be completed at the least for the Final Act. The Nature of Sanguinius also has a lot of worth due to the BD integration and the Crimson Crusaders.

 

[Reynal]

Finishing curses and the like would be nice, but preventing a cultist spiral is more important in my mind. Obviously we shouldn't be making decisions until we have information about the scale of the problem but one action for preaching will hopefully be enough—the second action has diminishing returns anyway.

If so, we'll need to decide if we want to pause curses (only one year done so less progress lost, but generally more important to our goals) or the nature of the Sanguinar (two years of progress to lose, but less important).

Ultimately we should probably chart out exactly what we're doing with Lin's remaining years before making the choice. If we will be able to do both saving a year of actions that can be used to reinforce the peace treaty would be well worth the minor cost of finishing less important research first, but if it's one or the other curses are pretty crucial for Lin's final act, helping the Blood Dragons, and general curse removal (such as if we end up with a hero getting cursed like the Varangian Guard Chapter Master was).

I'm still really relieved over how lightly we seem to have gotten off in this Incursion. Losing two cities and a massive number of elites hurts quite a bit, but as far as preserving Lin goes it would be cheap at twice the cost. I also view it as being extremely unlikely that we'll be receiving any flack from the rest of the Trust over the forces on loan to us that we lost. Hell, we might even get a rep boost in the Trust over it.

I can see the Eldar and Avernus-native contribution to keeping Lin alive also help with latent xenophobia issues in the Trust. Sure, we paid through the nose for the Eldar but they sent what they could and were basically wiped out to a man in his defense and the natives needed no reason beyond 'fuck chaos'.

 

[Adventwolf]

Lin will finish what he is working on then leave to go to Vulkan. We will need to deal with the cults on our own and since he will be gone from now on it is best we get in the practice.

I see two big issues with this. First, given that we were the primary focus of this incursion and the Abomination's inclination towards mind control, the cult issues could well be far worse than 'normal' for the aftermath of an Incursion. Second is that Lin is unbelievably skilled at handling this sort of issue and making improvements to how it is handled. By keeping him out of the containment and cleanup efforts we will likely be handicapping how much we improve at doing so.

We will be killing alot of our people anyways and sacrificing them so that Lin can go deal with the healing of Guilliman is worth it. This is going to hurt us no matter what and this is the time we need to chose what is more important.

 

[StormySky]

I think we should save the preaching for Y1 and Y2 of T136. It's not a lot, since Lin is leaving Y3, but if we stop any of the research, we will not be able to start anything of that nature again, literally forever.

Honestly with Lin's research to detect cults and his aura being around for at least another few years it's likely not going to be that bad. Besides that we really can't afford to pull him from his research since he is literally going to die soon and we are taking a risk as is.

Also only a few of our hives and cities were actually under assault by daemons while the rest were pretty much left alone so it's not that bad compared to normal.

From Codex Genestealer Cults, page 48

The atrophic blades that many Sanctuses wield are gifts from their gene-sire. These are grown within bubbling genesis pools that contain the liquefied psychic essence of slain cultists – the accumulated legacy of the Patriarch's curse. Each is formed from alien biomatter and imbued with the psychoactive liquids contained within the genesis pools. Non-indoctrinated beings struck with such a weapon are overcome with agony as the echo of a million formless voices explodes inside their minds. Unable to contain such immense energies, many victims simply drop dead on the spot, their brain turned to boiling slurry.

Other Sanctuses prefer to kill at a distance. For this task, they utilise a marksman rifle converted to fire needler rounds. Each toxin dart carried by the Sanctus is filled with an alchemical serum brewed by their gene-sect's Biophagus. Engineered from a pure sample of Genestealer blood, this mind-affecting poison can render its target a drooling imbecile in seconds. Should that target's mind be connected to the psychic energies of the warp, the serum induces a neural overload as it seeps into the victim's cerebellum, visiting the horror of the Hive Mind upon them.
[...]
When the Patriarch desires a target slain, it will suffuse its Sanctuses with a trace of the victim's psychic spoor, a telepathic scent that these assassins follow like bloodhounds across spire-towers and through winding sub-levels.
