The idea's been discussed before, and the conclusion's been that the risk that it'd be compromised is great enough that it wouldn't really be worth it.
I do want to get Ridcully's research done, but the situation with the AdMech conservatives is arguably the most pressing threat to the Imperial Trust at the moment. The Chaos Ritual is very dangerous, certainly, but it will take a lot of time and resources to pull off, and there will be opposition from basically everyone - the Eldar, Necrons, Imperial Remnants etc. By contrast, the situation with the AdMech conservatives is already at boiling point, and could erupt at almost any time, and is an imminent threat to us.
Wasn't the timeline we got just <100 years? It could happen next turn.
I had gotten the impression it was a centory..... ??
The civil war is still decades to a century away. And with the unrest going down in 2 years that adds even more time to that clock.
True, but someone brought up the idea of intentionally setting off the admech civil war, after doing some actions to look into the conservatives and what they'd do, in an effort to effectively catch them in the act before they were ready, and hopefully before they could really screw everything up. When asked about it, Durin said it was risky, as opposed to stupid. Which were the two options given. So... that might be an option to make it happen faster, which i kinda like, if we can get Ridcully to divine it.
The longer it takes the weaker the conservative forces of the admech become. They are losing ground on a fronts and the plan is to have moderates be placed in charge of the infrastructure for the Trust instead of trying to put progressives in high ranked positions.
That was the plan since forever ago, I remember Rotbart advising Scott to do just that not long after Britton's death. But I think at this point every moderate is already tentatively progressive, just because conservatives radicalized so much.
Problem is that something may set off the civil war early which would be a problem.
And what can set it off? We aren't going to do the deal with the Queens for underhives and since I doubt the Trolls are going to have enough to warrant the tech trade we won't be doing that anyways. We aren't doing any admech actions that will increase unrest or give the conservative factions anything to work from.
The problem is that it has gone up with things that were out of our control. From the death of high level conservatives to the conservatives just panicking at their shrinking numbers making them paranoid that they are being targeted by everyone else.
How do the endings work again, I don't have access to Discord?
Already mentioned, but yeah fundamentals.
Its my own guess that the empire that uses titans as a fundamental part of their armed forces and sees them as the living avatars of their god are almost certainly going to be investing resources to upgrade them...
Yes, however Dawn means that a faction is going to win, but it doesn't have to be a good faction.
No we were told that they would be boosted by two levels by the time of the next conclave while we got boosted by one level.
That's full tech implementation, they're still perfectly capable of selectively using higher levels of tech, you know like the admech normally do. Or are they somehow incapable of using our tech level 19 titan because they're at level 17?
No Doom that is not what I am saying. I am saying that they don't have the full workup and background to make the Titans to the level we can. You keep saying that they have a paragon for Titans when you are forgetting that paragon are still very rare outside of combat and that learning is even more rare then that. And we are 19 military+ which means our military tech which Titans fall under is even higher than our base 19.
And you seem to be forgetting that we gave them all our tech, they have the full work up we're not giving it to them over time they have everything to make titans at our level including Tranth's own designs, this is not a debateable fact.
The thing is that every time Tranth either reaches a technological capstone, or he manages to upgrade a full set of designs he gets a trait that increases his learning and provides a flat bonus to research and/or upgrades...
