Argent are geared around PDS and destroyers, I don't see why they'd ever go fighters, and winnus mech builds a pds and space dock when they take a planet.

Oh my days, too much information to grasp. I missed both of these points, I assumed Argents were fighter focused not destroyer focused. Its because the ships are named something different. I assumed your new fighters when upgraded had anti fighter barrage which would be cool

[Morgoth]

IH, I had a dream to leading the Argen to fleets of War Suns and destroyers. I have faith that you can achieve my dream for me!

[Morgoth]

Blend, I don't even entirely remember what the Empyreans are about, but they're cooperation focused, right? I hope we can make that work to our mutual benefit.

Speaker? Huh, that's pretty neat. It's a nice bonus as I didn't get to pick my first choice, the Argen Flight. IH is a meanie for sure.

Khell, I hope we can work out a deal, where you keep your furrball away from me, and in return I'll leave your vacated systems alone. We're both geared towards taking new planets, so I hope we can aim that energy outwards, rather than against each other.

Oh I’m sure we’ll be able to make something work!

How are we dealing with the Argent’s ‘always votes first in agendas’ ability?

[Khellendros]

I know no one’s playing as them this game, but I love that the first instruction for playing as the Mahact is, ‘rip up your Alliance promissory note, you won’t be using that.’

[Morgoth]

Yeah, had I read the lore before chosing, they might have been my choice just for the fun of being the dark god of this game

[Morgoth]

Though the Vuil'Raith also look like fun. All my ships are just giant space monsters.

I assumed I'd just have to post my votes first, then everyone else votes.

Blend your blood pact and my zeal ability sound like they'd work well together.

If we both vote in the same direction that's 12 votes for the price of 2!

Also aetherstream is perfect for this map, I think there are only a couple of hexes not next to an anomaly.

I know what you mean I keep reading other races and going wait they can do that?

But no argent get super destroyers which shred infantry, sustain damage and fighters, plus there commander means there destroyers get an extra shot.

[Morgoth]

and their PDS, IH. Don't forget.

What does a readied strategy card mean? Morgoth's hero ability lets him play 2 unchosen or readied strategy cards, but I'm not sure what this means!

I assumed it meant that the primary ability have yet to be played.

Yes, we are - we tend to stick on the outskirts of conflict and watch, helping folks slip by us when necessary to avoid conflict.

Mahact is top of my list of factions I want to try, but my slice isn't very resource/influence rich, so I decided to go with Empyrean as they can work with the empty hexes and nebula in my slice whereas I might have been struggling to keep a real presence as Mahact if I had chosen them.

Morgoth - thoughts on Quann? You've got a good number of planets in the systems in your slice whereas I only have 2 systems that are not equidistant between myself and my neighbours. I'm hoping you won't mind if I go for Quann. Thoughts?

Alternatively - Twelve, thoughts on Lisis/Velnor?

Maybe we can work something out, since you can allow others to move through your systems, correct? My issue with losing Quann are twofold: it locks me out of the wormhole network, and it's a planet with easy access to my other territories. We would have to work out a robust deal for me to concede to that, but I am willing to find a solution of some sort. I don't understand why you would be willing to lose Lisis Velnor though, independent of what you and I agree to. It's a much stronger system by all metrics I think.

I honestly would have gone Vuil'Raith if I had your slice, given the Gravity Rift right there and the relatively rich slice. They're also near the top of my list of factions I want to try!
