Rules for this are different for one thing this is all about the Genie being a fool.

So here you go.

you may be able to CHOOSE which new faction if any you want. In other words you get a free start over. If you choose this route you will be able to choose a hero from each of the fallen civs. You could even have said hero be an unknown hero you failed to discover.

Foolish Fluff will receive a free bonus.
Also you get to CHOOSE the a set of rolls that will exist around your civ.

You can even use multiple sets and flesh them out to the surrounding regions.


If you choose to stick with your current civ and ATTEMPT to ignore this FOLLY and fail.

You will instead have a receive a bonus oh and ALL actions undertaken will be considered MAD.


There will also be a trickery bonus going on to encourage.

>>31207151

Well the concept actually gets BETTER the further up you scale it (the minimum being about 1 km diameter, at which point internal air has to be 1 degree Celsius hotter than external). So it's probably big enough to have a small megacity and ample hydroponic-tower farmland on the outskirts. I'd say "urban".

The panels are likely transparent, btw. That way the sun hitting the inside does the heating for you. The 'ground' is in a cradle on the inside that allows it to disregard shifts in the sphere. It probablygets around by leveraging the weight of the Iternal city against the sphere for the sphere to rotate and the triangular outer surfaces to act as paddles against the air.

i believe that the faction was reverse cyborgs. though, i'm not sure if that counts as a faction

>>31207338

Well, its complicated. It floats at the layer of the atmosphere that is roughly equivalent to the density of the sphere as a unit. The density is managed by allowing panels to open up and vent hot air into the atmosphere (another possible source of thrust) which would feel like wind to the people inside (or a gale close to the exit).

It can float at any level of the atmosphere it wants (but the hotter it is inside the higher it'll go) but it'll cap out at a certain (really high, like airliner high or more, but not quite sub orbital) height depending on its size (the bigger the higher).

>Megacorp Remnant/Cultists
Aku Technical Experts, Inc.

>Specialization

>Special Unit
Scarab Bots (Cheap to make, potent melee bots that are capable of moving through/over nearly anything)

Fluff:
Long ago in a distant land we, Aku Tech, the robotics-specialized Scions of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakably evil business model. But a foolish paramilitary group wielding magic swords stepped forth to oppose us. Before our final fortress was struck our Master tore open a portal in time and flung us into the future, where His evil is raw! Now we fools seek to amend for the past, and ensure the future will be A-Ku.


A small start-up corporation that never truly achieved megacorp status before the fall due to the rigorous nature of their employee psychological adjustment program, Aku-Tech Inc. was nonetheless well known in certain circles for their bafflingly successful ventures in robotics. Despite being a relatively small corporation with few facilities (at first) experts would judge capable of producing advanced robotics, Aku Tech's close combat models routinely met or exceeded the capabilities of other companies' models that were theoretically two [REDACTED] levels higher than them. While the root of this mystery was never discovered, it was widely rumored in the robotics community that the [REDACTED] properties of Aku-Tech models could be attributed to the strange nature of their power sources, which did not seem to correlate to any known technological development paths the one time that [REDACTED] was able to acquire fragments for study.
It should not surprise anyone, in light of the tremendous secrecy shrouding Aku-Tech's rapid rise to power that after their mysterious (and absolute) disappearance several years ago, that extensive ties were discovered linking them to Umbra Corp.

There's my proposal. I'd suggest we go with these rolls: >>31208583

A shadow Complex was a design pioneered by Umbra to take secret rooms and expansive structures to an all new level.

Shadow Complex simply put is stealthily built INTO/AROUND other major structures. Some say its so good that they can even do so above ground directly into other structures. Its worth noting that many of these complexes are not actually built around Umbra Corp Holdings.

As for what they hold they contain masterful stealth elements, security/aggressor forces, reverse engineering facilities, holding areas, and often other secretive elements.

Shadow Complexes are meant to be both decentralized and meant to be able to do everything well.

That way the idiots will fall to typical 'corp' ways which is always most assuredly a fools errand when dealing with Umbra. After all everything but shadow complexes(and even then) are meant to be decoys.

Marko a former bandit human who seemingly cannot die. This isn't actually true he just claims its because whatever tries to kill him simply doesn't try hard enough also somehow despite having TERRIBLE luck manages to survive. It is however worth noting that this seemingly being a magnet DOES spare those around him. So long as you don't care about what happens to Marko anyway.

Traits
Bonus Survival
Bonus Luck

Abilities
Tough Shit: Negative effects are dropped by one. So if normally would be killed is instead wounded, when wounded goes unscratched instead ect.
Solo Master: Gains a bonus when solo possibly because it always happens to just him.

>If you want to use mad dice with Splicers I suggest doing so before midnight as that is when this holiday event ends.

Well answer me these things:

Do borg-augments work via a brain-interface that then manages sending instructions to all the implants or do the implants respond to peripheral nerve signals?

Are our maintenance/repair facilities (keeping in mind that we acquired a manufacturing suite) good enough to modify our power armor to accommodate extra limbs?

Can our cloning equipment grow enough wings and (whatever the Elsh use to generate their bioelectricity) to outfit our forces in 1 turn (1 turn each if necessary)?

Can we apply the Anysplice serum to all the mutants we just recruited without ill effect?

>>31210376

Also, what sort of recovery time are we looking at if we graft on wings and graft in bioelectricity organs?

We'll get to play, don't worry. These are all basically judgment-call questions so he doesn't have to sift through notes or anything to answer them.

>For the memor...you know those two brothers who are related descended from Ridrickson, Alexis, and Ramona?

Also, I feel this is like a thread where EDE is going to let us view all the things we missed from previous civs, so it'd be wise to do just that

>>31210582

Theoretically upgrading our maintenance facilities would allow us to mod the power armor like that though? Would we need specialist equipment for that, or would we just need to spend resources?

Would we be able to mod the combat armor to accommodate extra limbs?

Would applying the Anysplice serum take an action?

Do we know what generates the bioelectricity for the Elsh or do we need to take a turn to locate it?

Is the bioelectricity likely to fuck with the power armor (or do we need to research that)? It can be, like, turned off/tuned back when needed right?

But by jove can the man drive. As for me, I like to think take after father more than him. York, I go by, and I am nothing if not a hunter”

Apparently, their parents, or at least “York's ma n’ uncle V”, decided that as a rite of passage to kick all their children (quite a lot of them) out and not let them return until they hunted something interesting. They were the oldest.

Tactical Analysis please, EVE.

Would you recommend scouting around us to find out what we're in and how dangerous it is?

How advisable is it to have the Overlord go start a brood hive a good distance away from our base so that forces can be cultivated, but we don't risk bringing down automated (or otherwise) purge measures on our Shadow Complex?

dat 100 on a request.

Such manners its been awhile since I last got to enjoy that.

Scouting is reccomended suggest connecting to Umbra Net to see what data files exist before sending out forces. I suggest using stealth and our V101 forces for this purpose. Yes they are here you can thank a certain man for that.

A Brood Colony IS risky but thanks to certain files from Umbra CEO has made assurances personally that and it would be LOVELY to study. Not to mention brood forces that could be spawned.

Suggest using hero to section off a part of the hive this will serve as rep area basically a local colony. Would eventually cause problem even WITH such excellent countermeasures but thanks to a certain overlords presence combined and the usual threat should not be a problem. From there Hive should feel free to expand as it pleases. I would suggest direction precious few don't mind Brood Presence.

This would prevent automated measures and prevent infestation from spreading to such a degree as to cause problems.

Umbra Net Data reveals that this area was part of a project performed by a Megacorp. This facility was stealthily intrenched despite their best efforts as this was meant to earn them plenty of capital.

Was founded by Megacorp.
Had secured defense contractors and a few were even based here.

Was quite good until the Fall happened. Originally believed it was lost but somehow was not. Facility was 'reacquired' and operations have commenced to secure this area.

Confirmed certain 'projects' going on. Original objective to infiltrate and acquire whatever it is they are working on.

Current hacking and scans reveal several things and creates yet more mystery about this orb.

Bandit Presence
Extremely Low
Civ Density Very low
Monster is average
Zombies is Low
Mystery is Extremely high

indications state that resources are plentiful most likely due to such low presence in such a large area. Usage has been most limited.

Certain things have requested to been investigated should we comply Umbra has promised to richly reward and support whatever side endeavors we wish to pursue.

Switch confirmed changing perspectives.

>>31212198
Elsh's electrical powers indicate that its very similar to how an eel's performs but...different. Has clearly been enhanced and undergone modification. Most likely thanks to mutagenic ability of mutants.

That was until we decided to test it and administered a dose of what should nullify and some doses to give such abilities to others.

Turns out that isn't the whole story.

The ENTIRE Esh physiology has not only been modified to administer electrical shock but to ENHANCE electric flow and allow much greater generation of electricity. In other words this mutation is only loosely related to eel base and such modifications has not only made Esh immune to electrical shock but be healed by it, direct/control, and a sort of self defense system even when unconscious. Truly a superb mutation and typical of wasteland.

General and Elton do their best to train our forces in how to be scary.

Free reminder that our troops are auto trained you merely have to request what you want to work on. As for how effective...limited even with VR pod being intimidating isn't easy to teach. Scary is however mostly thankst to Elton who points out how to be a scary motherfucker.

So, uhh, is there anything we can pull out of the Elsh and graft so we get those powers?

Are there any secrets to the Vok's wings? Or can we just clone some of those?

Rolled 73

>>31212528
Vok wings don't seem to be anything special if you discount amazing endurance and still being able to fly while asleep.

>>31212519

For the time being in our training focus on trying to teach our forces how to be scary/intimidating. How to kill things very brutally so that their fellows see it and think "fuck I don't want to fight someone who would/can do *that*". Morale damage, that sort of thing.

Do we require a turn to apply the Anysplice serum?

Do we want to risk the artifact right now or should we wait till mad is over to look at it?

I wonder if this plays a key role in discovering how the larger Monsters manage to generate enough bioelectric-power from flesh and vegetation enough to rival mini-nuclear reactors.

Truly researching into this could unlock many many secrets.

Mad actions is FUN

Science related ones pic related. By the way that guy is the one science hero in Umbra right now.

Oh right, I just remembered.

On the topic of the 25 humans who converted by drinking the serum immediately, I'd like to say outloud that that was a poor decision.

Until such a time as we must return to the wasteland, it'd be better if the next time (if ever) we get humans we use their fertility bonus to the fullest, and have them breed as many of themselves as they can THEN mutate them when we go into areas they cant survive.

>>31212519
Any chance we can mod the power armors to hit the people inside with electricity to the point it will heal the units?

While all our actions are MAD (with itme running out) would anyone have any qualms or ideas on how would could improve the population issue since that is our biggest weakness as of now?

Quite. Too bad we don't really have lab facilities.

So we don't want to grow wings for grafting until we can mod our power armor. Therefore I think we should try and locate the central elements of Esh electrical generation physiology that way we can transplant those.

Our training should focus on our troops learning to be scary and intimidating, and learning how to break the will of enemy forces. Elton Skellton should supervise as often as he feels like it.

>Basic 1
Look further into the Esh's mutation, try and identify key components so that we can get something that's similar to what they have even if it's weakened.

If the Memor, who had a penalty to mutant interaction, could use Warlord Duelfist to bring the strongarms to them, and many others, we have our General and his intidimidation for the time being. We're also not yet evil, so that's either going to be a boon or a disadvantage. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

>>31212689
So far we have doubled our numbers and our reputation is just getting better.
Dmarche men should be looked at while under the effects of madness huh?

>>31212760

I feel that (most) mutants are just in it to survive. While a few won't join us because they won't be willing to sacrifice rape+pillage, most of them will give us an objective reckoning and so long as we're strong and have a better life than them (which if we get better medical facilities and such in our bunker, let alone establishing secondary bases, we will) then they'll join us.
