I've been thinking about how the planes might be, and i had an interesting thought.

At one point, the GM describes the plane of water an air as, "not being uniform. The plane of water might have bubbles of air, and there might be islands in the plane of air." (or something like that.) I think the plane of earth is likely to just be earth, with the "pockets" being caves of different types. The more i think about it, the more likely i think that it's probably true. If every plane had a surface, air would be weighted as far more important to develop than anything else. Flying would be super OP, because you could just fly over the oceans or ground or whatever is down there. In terms of balance, air will probably either be much harder to develop, or not all planes will have a "sky".

I suspect that Earth may not actually have a sky, like an endless cave network. I have no idea what Fire will be like, but we have Imps, so I'm not too worried. Basically, I think that there may not be an actual surface in any plane except the prime material. We know that the Unformed Plane has a surface, but it's JUST a surface and gates. The ethereal is more chaotic, I don't know much else.

sooo... hows it going darkness.

Noisea - Today at 7:41 PM
You will see.
You will all see.
How's the voting going over in light?

Frostgiant - Today at 7:53 PM
pretty good, still discussing  options. you guys?

Noisea - Today at 7:54 PM
Options are being discussed.
Votes are placed. Very efficient.

Acter, Champion of Mortals - Today at 7:54 PM
Something about 1000 power cost was mentioned?

Noisea - Today at 7:55 PM
Huh?

Frostgiant - Today at 7:55 PM
Ya, you guys got brought up after we complained about a vastly inflated UWP cost then we wanted.
For a prototype

Acter, Champion of Mortals - Today at 7:55 PM
And the term "1000 UWP" was mentioned in regards to what you did

Frostgiant - Today at 7:55 PM
No clue what you did of caurse no worries

Noisea - Today at 7:56 PM
Of course, of course.
How are the elves doing?

Frostgiant - Today at 7:56 PM
Very elvish. much bow.

Noisea - Today at 7:56 PM
Excellent.
I do hope their bows don't happen to snap.

Madman198237 - Today at 7:58 PM
Since when did we choose Elves?

Noisea - Today at 7:58 PM
I suppose you could design them later.
Even if they're not what you voted on.

Unfair! Unfair! Rebalance the teams! Magic can only be applied in manners. How can the lower gods compete when they have no manners!
...
Huh... Well, the lich has spells, the imps have enchantment... As for powers... Well I think that the impish fire affinity could be a gateway into powers, it is sort of not really doing anything as it is. I suppose "moving around while dead" doesn't count as a power?

[RoseHeart]

If when modify them to use their fire species affinity, then I vote that we rename them or perhaps their leader or champion "Austin".

[Detoxicated]

Maybe Air has a floor of solid air... it is a magical world afterall...

[Doomblade187]

So, I think that they picked the Angel and are modifying the cherubs, but the cherubs turned out more expensive than they want. If anyone has Mafia experience or is good at reading stuff, feel free to look it over on Discord, or I can PM you the log. This is based on me reading the Discord and inferring. I did not post the log because someone was drunk and I did not want to expose them.

EDIT: Now I doubt my own reading of the chat.

Darkness grows deeper, shadows grow thicker, then all returns to as it was...

Spoiler: Magic (click to show/hide)

Curse

Plan Sanchez
Build the Dark Foundry -1000
Build 4000 Imps -4000
Build 1000 Shadecrystal Shields - 1000
Build 1000 Shadow Blades  -2000
Build 1000 Flame Caster -2000

[helmacon]

Well, we need at least 1 of everything so we can figure out how the rolls went.

I say

Purchase plan Alpha:

1 foundrie - 1000 UWP

750 spear casters - 3000 UWP
750 shields - 1000 UWP
750 imps - 1000 UWP

1 litch - 3000 UWP

200 imps - 200 UWP
200 Shadow blades - 400 UWP

400 unarmed imps - 400 UWP

Total: 10000 UWP

That gives us an exceptionally strong core force, with some auxiliaries to allow the first line of spear casters to get off a volley before engaging. The rest of the army can then volley fireballs into the flank before engaging in melee themselves. The unarmed imps are just an advance that can be armed next time. This also tests out all our new equipment so we can see what the rolls were.

[Failbird105]

Hmm, I'll go plan alpha unless I get some good reasoning to go for something else.

[Doomblade187]

Hmm, I'll go plan alpha unless I get some good reasoning to go for something else.

I am also in this boat. Also, between magical portal transportation and shadecrystal armor, what do you think we should build next?

Other options include imp/demon vats.

[Failbird105]

I feel like portals would be best. By that I mean coolest.

[piratejoe]

I will go with plan Alpha as well...

[RAM]

I feel that both current plans fail to make use of significant part of our resources. The lich is an obvious absence in Sanchez but it also lacks our shiny new spears. Alpha I feel is overdependent on spears and should have some dedicated archers. That said, our archers don't have much rate-of-fire... but still, I am going to try my own hand at one with more of a unit distinction...

2 Dark Foundry (2000 UWP)
1 The Lich (3000 UWP)
500 Spear Caster (2000 UWP)
200 Shadow blades (100 UWP)
600 Flame casters (1200 UWP)
400 Shadecrystal Shield (400 UWP)
1300 Imps (1300 UWP)
 - 500 Spear Caster
 - 200 Shadow blade + Shadecrystal Shield
 - 400 Flame caster
 - 200 Flame caster + Shadecrystal Shield

The idea being that we have large forces of spears and ranged with smaller forces to defend them against ranged assault and more dedicated melee attackers. Not enough shields for everyone, but hopefully enough that ranged assaults can't overwhelm us and we have more total firepower... Well I was aiming for balance using formation tactics, a loose horde of imps would probably fair better with something else...

I will continue to vote for Helmacon's plan if we move 200 imp production to create shadecrystal shields to arm our imps with. I like the idea of shield or sword/shield imps.

I'm willing to do so if we can get a consensus from the other 2.
