Arcanuse posted:Went Lenient. There is a fine, delicate balance between being merciful and looking weak; showing strength and setting yourself up for mutiny. I'm leaning that way too. Gnolls are pack creatures at heart, so even with all the demon stuff, there's a certain level of reciprocity to go along with the discipline. Plus there's plenty of slaves and isolated monasteries full of gold to visit the unholy fury of the demon hordes upon.

Pirate Queens would synergize well with our near-permanent 100% Naval Tradition and boosts to admiral skill from Naval ideas. We'll already be breeding godlike admirals, might as well recruit them to be godlike rulers, too! Also we're already going down the autocratic, fist-of-terror route, a blood-drenched pirate queen just fits.

RabidWeasel posted:Seems like we've already got a decent number of incentives to develop our territory so Infrastructure is a solid pick, it also has reduced fort maintenance which has synergy with our existing defensive stuff. Plus I want to see you abuse that -100% depletion gold mine, inflation be damned! I agree. With our administrative wiz of a Golden Sage and some hellwars coming up against the Command it makes sense to spend admin rather than mil, and Infrastructure has a lot that we could use: dev cost, movement speed, construction cost and time, and fort maintenance. Plus, the Defensive+Infrastructure policy increases both enemy attrition and our garrison size. Grind them to dust against our walls!

A few countries' missions do have a path to integrate the Oni on some level, but not a lot. There's the Jaddari, but then they'll accept almost literally anybody as long as they accept the Jadd. As far as native Halessi go, I think it's mostly other mustache twirling anime villains (the other Left-hand Path countries) or pragmatic imperialists like the Command or Bianfang who don't mind pissing off everybody if it means getting to extract resources more efficiently or whatever.

Balris got caught up in doomscrolling, fell asleep, and wanted to hit the snooze button when he got woken up. Truly relatable.

We could go with crueler options, but then Balris would be disappointed.

Captain Oblivious posted:Mom and dad was mostly me bullshitting. Dragons are asexually reproducing non-binary giant lizards with little displayed interest in identifying as a given gender in Anbennar. Which means that, logically, we must assume the existence of a dragon who hoards gender expressions.

Oh boy, this can only have good results for all Halessi. Surely the bourgeoisie of the dystopian artificer dragon slave state will be friendly and cooperative after throwing off their shackles.

The lore reason is that Halann, as a D&D-inspired setting, has outer planes that are closer to the prime material plane in some places than in others. Haless is where the Spirit Plane is closest, the

Halflings have many fine qualities-- a taste for good food and better pipe weed, for instance-- but disciplined and ferocious warriors they are not. Let's follow the strong halfling tradition of building a peaceful, prosperous country for our people, and then letting everyone else earn a living defending it. We're job creators!

If the road to hell is paved with good* intentions, then Castanor must have hired the same civil engineers, because so is basically every road in Escann. *some restrictions apply

Spirits are naturally pro-imperialism; it was called Space Ghost Coast to Coast for a reason.

On the one hand, we're doing just a little imperialism, as a treat. On the other hand, we're electing our president at the county fair on the basis of pumpkin pie quality. I love these lil' guys!

I'm not sure Newshire is really in a position to colonize overseas, and Escann is already filled up. There's also a good chance they'll have to adapt their approach and worldview in light of Happy Fun Time Events still to come-- I've never played these guys, so I'm excited to see how it turns out for them.
