Any quadrant can host the Capital.

so...
Can proposal be retracted before someone seconds them?
Are problems with world IDs specific to those worlds or are all Cluster worlds barred from being in the imperial demesne? What about worlds that got conquered from the imperial demesne?

[Weirdsound]

The rule is the imperial demesne cannot have more than 1 world per sector + a single capitol. The Cluster already has an imperial shipyard, so it has to get rid each of the three newly conquered worlds there.

[a1s]

two of them, yes, but what was the problem with making one of them a capitol.

edited for brevity.

Yes, proposals may be retracted before seconding, but not after.  I don't understand your second question.  You can have 2 ID worlds in a sector if one is the capital.

I am just an endless font of QUESTIONS, aren't I?

So, when assigning Counterintelligence, does being specific help? That is, if I were to throw 30 Intelligence at Counterespionage, would that value be used for any defense, or would it be divided up to cover all possible attacks (10 to preventing Sabotage, 10 to preventing Recon, 10 to prevent Sow Dissent.) If the latter is the case, and if I specifically said Counterespionage against Sabotage, would that then be divided up among all specialized worlds eligible to target, or would I be better served by specifying Counterespionage against Sabotage against Shipyards? Or is there a middle ground where it would cover all worlds within a Quadrant, but get divided up among all the worlds of the Empire? (I feel like you already answered this one but I can't find the relevant quote, and I'd hate to doom the Galactic Empire on faulty understanding of game mechanics.)

What I'm guessing it is is that it gets split up equally between all incoming espionage attacks.

Meaning the best thing to do is use one Intelligence to do everything except what you want, which you throw the rest at, so that their intelligence isn't able to defend against it.

[Iituem]

Counterespionage is split up proportionally between incoming attacks.  So if you have 20pts set to Counterespionage and your enemy fires 10pts to Recon, 15pts to Sabotage and 5 pts to Intelligence Infiltration, your counterespionage is split up 7 pts vs Recon, 10 vs Sabotage and 3 vs Infiltration (which counts as 5, since counter-Infiltration is doubled and rounded up).  Sow Dissent isn't countered by CE, it's countered by having high Morale.

[Rolepgeek]

Damn. My idea still works though, especially if you have more intelligence than them. Or only if you do, really. You make the proportion of Counter-intelligence to intelligence moer and more in your favor; 25 vs 30 isn't a big difference, but 5 vs 10 and 1 vs 1 20 other places?

[Iituem]

Amendment to my earlier ruling.  You can set specific allocations for Counterespionage, and the remaining amount will be divided up proportionally by 'attack'.  So if you really, really want to make sure there isn't any Sabotage you can protect against that specifically.

And if there are 20 pts Counterespionage up against 2 separate 10 pt Sabotage attacks, each attack will resolve as 10 vs 10, yes?

A good idea for when we don't have only one obvious attack priority

Yes.  Multiple sabotage attempts are resolved independently.

[Weirdsound]

Can I get a sector by sector list of all the worlds that need distribution? It isn't on the spreadsheet. I'd also like to see where all known remaining Conclave Worlds are at.

[Iituem]

Worlds tab, under Imperium, is all ID worlds.  Right now the ID can hold 3 worlds max, 1 in Cluster, 1 in Rift and 1 Capital.

Scroll to the bottom of the Worlds tab and you'll see all known Conclave worlds (including that Intelligence Hub, now that it's been revealed)...

[Weirdsound]

Derp. I didn't notice the other tabs.
