Look, your moderate to minor air advantage is not a gamebreaker, deal with it.

That's basically what I've been saying.

I don't recall saying anything of the sort.

[GreatWyrmGold]

It was implied that you thought anyone cared that you didn't care.

It was implied that you thought anyone cared that you didn't care.

And despite being almost witty, I don't see how that ties in with me allegedly claiming gamebreaking airforce.

[GreatWyrmGold]

It's called hyperbole.

It's also called "tryhing to be clever/consice way too late."

[Urist_McDrowner]

Heh, alright.

[Urist_McDrowner]

Taricus, what powers your robots? Are they autonomous or RC? How do they resupply? 

[Taricus]

Autonomous, to a degree. Powered by an internal generator. This information isn't public knowledge IC though, so I hope any espionage you are going to do relies on that information.

[Urist_McDrowner]

Generator running on what?

I don't plan on such being public knowledge. Like how both sides of the Cold War sized each other up most of the time, I'd be expect military analysts to be able to make relatively accurate prediction based on public information, such as second or third party reports from times when they've been deployed. For example, their autonomy could be easily determined, all an analyst would have to have is a report that one walked under a concrete roof or was individually deployed in areas of active enemy countermeasures. What they run on and what powers them would be harder. Other facts that could easily be known by outside analysts are any information likely to have been held by their pre-calamity forerunning governments about the topic, (that is to say, I doubt Australia was the first country to develop such robots, to say nothing about the likelihood of being the only country to develop them).

[Taricus]

Anywhere that held that information (If they had any on them in the first place), more or less got nuked. So I doubt any archaeology would help there. And they weren't exactly around pre-calamity, so there's that too. Same thing goes for the power armour (Which, as a note, is more fallout-style than anything from 40k.).

[Urist_McDrowner]

I don't particularly associate post-nuclear world with monumental scientific advancements, particularly not in the years immediately after. If the technology for autonomous robots exists, it had to have existed pre-calamity. Nevertheless, if the GM says you discovered it, that's how it worked, in which case reports would be the most valuable asset.

[Taricus]

Could've also been developed in secret, pre-bombing.

But I digress, this is a game, stop trying to introduce semi-faulty logic into it

[Urist_McDrowner]

By Australia? C'mon, son.

[Taricus]

Hey, go badger Zan about improbable developments why don't you?

[Urist_McDrowner]

I would, but he wasn't online last time I checked. I don't know how he'd make only Mongolians immune to it because I haven't mapped the Mongolian Genome in the last 10 years (or ever), so it's really a gish gallop. What I do know is that it's impossible for 100% of mongolians to be immune to it and for 100% of the non-mongolian population to be vulnerable.
