I've mentioned this before, but even if Mathilde kills Vladimir, I think it's pretty likely there'll be a civil war anyway. A less damaging one I think, but Kislev is fucked either way.
The Karaz Ankor over the Empire, maybe. There haven't been many opportunities to test those two loyalties against one another besides the discussion with the Chamberlain of the Seal. And on that one we got the option to split the difference rather than be forced to pick one or the other, so naturally the entire thread piled onto the middle option. I could definitely see her picking the Dwarves if it came down to it though, yeah.
What I like about it is that it's both quite surprising but also makes perfect sense given everyone involved.
He's not offering us the waystone in compensation. You're reading the scene wrong. He's saying "whithout obvious benefits, it won't be done under this Tsar. My solution was to wait until he steps down/dies naturally. But with Chaos stirring, I cannot wait".
Look, if this was the first round of arguments, you'd be right. But there's been a back and forth of several pages, and pretty much everything you've said has had three other people come in and argue against. And you've repeatedly shifted your arguments, while never shifting your position. So concluding you start with the position and find arguments instead of the other way round is not surprising.
Yeah, and that this sentiment is decently common is one of my favorite things about the vote.
That's a hell of an assumption. I suspect that if Mathilde hadn't had an action in Kislev this turn, Boris wouldn't have made a final decision yet. The Waystone Project is indeed a part of what Boris sees as a probelm with Vladimir's rule, but I think it's the straw that broke the camel's back.
Then stop proving it right
We already made a speech to the emperor on the benefits of just implementing the project on top of discovering that if the waystone network goes down in one or two key areas the Old World turns into the chaos wastes!
Some takenthis is not Amaund Motierre, the reasons why he would want to do it are pretty obvious to someone with Mathilde's knowledge. As for insulting how is it insulting? He knows we want to get the waystone project implemented, he wants this to happen and so he's offering what he hopes Mathilde wants. You like to repeat we've only met him a few times, well that goes both ways, he's working off of what he knows and his offer reflects that.
We know him, we've had time to compare his attitude with his father, we know people who know him, everyone we've met in Kislev thinks his dad does a shit job, and people who we've asked think Boris would do a better one.
In what universe would a Kislev that actually engages in foreign policy properly be bad for the empire, and again on what basis do you have that he isn't sane?
There's no point talking about the competency he can't do a worse job than his dad while having better priorities and by all accounts he is likely more competent having prepared himself for the role instead of fucking off to go hunting.
That would be so goddamn funny. I kind of want someone to write a full omake about this now.
Welcome! You certainly found an interesting update to be the catch-up point. 24 hours earlier and you'd be choosing which name for our pokemon is sufficiently punny instead.
No its because we have the skills he needs and because we have principles that he came to us.
Fair enough. Let's say, he would've turned up in soonish. This turn, the next, something like that. Probably not too long, since he probably gets some reports, and the rollout has begun in Stirland.
Just in time to argue about assassinating a foreign leader. Good timing!
