Egypt dude I want to summon kosu then I will help you destroy the orbs of stalwart.
I wish to change my last command in light of that information:125 Cultists+Final faction: Find and steal the last orb of stalwart.

[Aslandus]

Egypt dude I want to summon kosu then I will help you destroy the orbs of stalwart.

You're negotiating with the wrong guy, Trog and Unescargot are the only ones with access to the last orb... In hindsight, you really shouldn't be able to destroy orbs you don't have access to, even if you do attack someone that does...

[Aslandus]

Maybe you should edit the COMMAND ITSELF instead of this message then

[Evonix]

ok

[carp]

aslandus are there other ways of getting to earth ii mean is it possible?

[FallacyofUrist]

((..... oh come on.))


Me: Attack anyone who tries to steal the orb at my fortress door with lightning. If nobody comes, just recruit generics.
30 cultists: Recruit more generics.
80 cultists: Get the blasted Orb of Stalwart at our fortress door inside dangit! ASAP!
5 wealthy cultists: Hire some herbalists, botanists, explorers, and guides (all as one group) to gather dragon's blood and bring it back to our fortress.
5 other wealthy cultists: Secretly fund Koshu's inquisitors, buy them weapons, armor, vehicles, whatnot.
5 politician cultists: Recruit more politicians to join our cult! ((I have a master plan involving politicians and wealthy people.))
Journalist hires: Write negative articles about Koshu's cult!
2 veterans... Talk to some of your veteran buddies and convince them to join our cult.
Anybody I may have missed: Post comments on ihatecarp.com about the carp plague and whatnot.



((I don't trust that banishing ritual... lets test it out on Koshu or carp one of these days.))

((My turn eight.))

aslandus are there other ways of getting to earth ii mean is it possible?

There is one way, possibly another: the cascade ritual. If your cult fires off the cascade ritual at the city of Folston, taking several turns, all horrors will be summoned there to do battle. I estimate my chances of winning that at 35%. I also have a "banishing" ritual wish I suspect may do the opposite. Or it may horribly rend whichever horror it is used on.

[Aslandus]

aslandus are there other ways of getting to earth ii mean is it possible?

The cascade summons all the horrors to earth, and forces a brawl royale. Are you a bad enough dude to wrestle all these bastards to death in three turns? (also if you don't then the game ends in a draw between the survivors)

No other way by default, though I might let you research one (but using it would definitely have a cost much higher than the default ritual)

[Evonix]

Do you need an orb of stalwart to do it? also I edited my command

[Aslandus]

Do you need an orb of stalwart to do it? also I edited my command

I dunno, research it and I'll make it up, but if nobody cares enough to try then I won't bother to come up with a method...

[Adragis]

If things get out of hand, Rosabel may well put that Orb of Storms to good use.

All but 50 cultists: Summon me!
50 cultists: Attempt to begin negotiations with the inquisitors. Don't go out there physically: they're likely to paste you into dust.
Me: Use powers to influence the results of the negotiations in my favour.

[wipeout1024]

Improve PR.
Cultists: Search for the artifacts.

[Sl4cker]

Okay, first of all. we need Trog down first and foremost; he has the lead in terms of firepower...

So we'll just have to fight fire with fire.

50 cultists: Try to summon one of my siblings! If Trogdor wants a fight with the gods, He shall have it! Find the last Orb now!
Me: Give 75 cultists the power of the dead!
75 dudes: If you are currently beings of pure darkness and death, murder Rosabel's cultists! If not, use the money to bribe the military into blowing Trogdor up.
Pew pew crew: Guard the base!
Assassins: Find out how to do the banishing ritual, at all costs. What I am saying is kidnap Unescargot's cultists and torture them until they give information.
50 cultists: If 75 dudes are now using the power of the dead, bribe the military into blowing Trogdor up. If they are not, Recruit people!

Turn 8 actions:

Koshu: if at any time Koshu is summoned (or otherwise ends up on or near Earth) grab Rosabel and Rabe (if present) and ascend to at least a kilometer away from the ground. If things have not gone so badly wrong that gaining altitude consumes Koshu's action for the turn, send flaying storms of telekinetic glass, rock and metal at anything that looks both hostile and capable of flight, high jumps or ranged attacks.

80 empowered cultists: research cascade ritual, knowing my luck we will likely need it. If anyone attacks or harrasses you, call the cops.

150 cultists: get dragon blood. Do not eat it.

312 cultists: assist Rabe's 125 cultists and (I think?) Rosabel's all but 50 cultists in stealing the Orb of Stalwart. Then guard the Orb of Stalwart to prevent anyone from destroying it. Alternatively, if Unescargot changes their mind about attacking us, do not bother stealing it and just assist Unescargot, Rabe, and Rosabel in securing and guarding it.

150 cultists: summon me.
