Army+of+the+Architect+EoT+12


 * Random Stat Growth:**

If I have any, [-] to Morale, the rest to Espionage Defense.


 * Military +++++ ++++-**

1. +- (See Morale Action)

2. +++++ +++ (Theosophs Attack)

a. For now, I will maintain the fiction (I doubt it’ll last long), that I’m not allied with Skuldings. Glorious Army has calculated, that Theosophs would be attacked by Skuldings (Military/Economy is how they select the targets, we did the math). So GA is just taking advantage of the chaos to strike against Sparks, who prevented Othar from investigating.

b. I’ll cut down anybody who stands before the Glorious Army and Sparks (evil Minions of Sparks) and ignore both civilians and Skuldings. After that I’ll destroy as much Spark as possible. I have invested into destruction of bodies, so nobody is getting revived as construct or brain in a jar. I’ll be smashing their machinery as well. I’m not looting any Economy, so it should prove the purity of GA’s intentions.

c. I’m aware, that Theosophs are going to France. I won’t be telling about it to Skuldings or that I have any source of information in France (frankly, I was appalled by Celestial Empire openly including me in negotiations with France, but I hesitated too long to send you a correction, so it was too late). Anyway, since Theosophs are preparing to move, they’ll be packing all of their valuables, correct? When Skuldigns strike they’ll have all their loot neatly packaged and ready to move, so I’m expecting a hefty bonus to loot modifiers.

d. The agreement with University should provide a good progress on one-shot superweapon to destroy the Coalition (basically, I’ll argue to Skuldings, they need to deliver a single powerful strike to have the Coalition crumble). I’ll advise deploying it only if we get ambushed by Anti-Sklulding Coalition.


 * Economy: -**

1. Burning to polish those medals and shine those swords. Glorious Army is fighting again, Gloriously! Boost to Morale.


 * Morale: +++-**

1. All Morale and +- Military are sent to Corsica to train civilians and organize a monster-hunter army to restore peace and order, as well as establish protection from future monster attacks. Perhaps some monsters can be tamed and used for military/economy purposes by Corsica (using Trait: Monster Handlers). This will support my WO 2 action.


 * Spark: -**

1. [-] Spark is donated to University. I doubt they like me, but I’ll be most happy with ‘’being indispensable for University’s world domination plans’’. I have faithfully supplied them with Economy, like in the Russian Campaign, and my connection to Othar is useful.


 * Espionage Defense: +++++ +**

1. 50% of ED is to hide University’s assistance to Skuldings.

2. 50% of ED is to hide my stealing of Mountain King’s Map to underground tunnels. If I discover Loki’s Brigade is plotting treachery, I’ll contact Skuldings and propose, that together we use our Def. Espionage to frame them (vs. investigation attempt that uses Off. Espionage it should be possible).


 * Espionage Offensive: +++++ ++-**

1. Investigating Loki’s Brigade (Holy Privateers). I’d like to know if they plot double-cross. It’s only information gathering, not a valuable investment, like subverting nations, sabotage or stealing technology, so I hope it’ll be easier to pull off or I could gleam more information, then just that.

I’d appreciate getting information on Holy Privateer’s actions before the new turn, so I could alter my EoT to take advantage of that information.


 * WO: +++++ +++-**

1. ++++- (anti-Mountain King)

Okay, putting some of my WO to support my cause vs. Mountain King. That Slaver Wasp business is rotten – Othar found nothing wrong in GA, Mountain King concealed evidence for no reason, wild woods monsters disappeared into nowhere. Perhaps that mysterious faction, whom the spyglass belonged to, would come forward and assert, that monsters didn’t escape the Wild Woods via our airships.

2. ++++ (Corsica)

I’ll use the goodwill of Corsicans, whom I’m saving from monsters and aiding in restoring order, and weave a subtle anti-Spark propaganda. I won’t try to create a pro-GA political faction, telling people Othar doesn’t wish Glorious Army to foster political strife; we are just there to restore peace and order.

However, while I won’t openly agitate them to join Celestial Empire, the choice of the political faction with least Spark, should become more appealing. So, subtlety – I’d rather not have people realize I’m supportive of the Celestial Empire, but I wouldn’t mind giving them a good boost.


 * Othar Tryggvassen:**

If I manage to kill lots of Sparks, more than my due per turn, then Othar should be really pleased with me (and he mentioned he only cares about killing Sparks, so Glorious Army using Skuldings attack as distraction shouldn’t be too bad). If I indeed garner that goodwill, I’ll plead with him:

'' Great Othar! As you may have heard the Glorious Army was framed, that we used Slaver Wasp technology, something you know is untrue, as you did the reprogramming and found none such vile deeds in our recording tapes. We beseech thee, find the evil Sparks, who plot and scheme and develop Slaver Wasp technology and bring your full wrath upon them! ''


 * University:**

I don’t think Mountain King would offer much to University, beyond vengeance and a promise of share of plunder after Skuldings are beaten. As no coalition against Skuldings has succeeded so far, they should be skeptical of getting good compensation here. They could collect payment from Skuldings and double-cross them, but that’ll make both evil Vikings and Glorious Army very angry, which I don’t think they’d wish to happen.

So I’d advise them to perhaps provide a token assistance to the Mountain King to reduce any suspicion, and mostly deal with Skuldings.

To Unviersity: '' Celestial Empire has mentioned, they wish to expand their Spark potential. We are not pleased about that and we suspect you share this sentiment. So if you’d like the two of us to talk to them to dissuade such development, we’d aid you. ''


 * To Skuldings:**

[Proof given: Loki's Brigade doesn't plan double-cross, but the Theosophs forces won't be attacking KoBS.]

'' Since Loki's Brigade seems to be trustworthy, Glorious Army will make first steps to approach them. They may not trust us, as we didn't trust them, so we'll try to be slow and careful with it. However, they plan to attack University of Celenae, which will disrupt their work for you. Ottoman Empire is a poor target, as there is nothing to loot there. And we have a small force in Corsica, that will fight to defend the island. Considering the Theosophs lack of Def. Espionage, they can easily disguise themselves and join in with our raid. We'll offer them this idea ''.

 * Note that it is fairly common knowledge that the largest spark gathering outside of the Theosophs is in the University in the Celestial Empire so working up anti spark feelings doesn't really favor them.
