Next Turn tric we will Go die them CATS


So Guys... Imagine having Our soldiers properly trained and equipped with better gear while being spell wielding and being Generally Stronger than before... I believe we will have a great Advantage for one to three Turns. So choosing the Evil Standards and coordination Drills is an obvious choice we must make.

That is the idea of full battle focus. Bit optimistic though. The two CoD revisions are for improving their survival for influence lanes.

We shouldn't just let our Consorts continue to get snubbed and see our influence actions severely hampered by enemy action though. While maximizing the introduction of a new design is always good, sometimes tackling issues stifling half of our efforts is better. We were able to turn away the Angels completely last turn, so all things being equal we shouldn't see ourselves get absolutely slammed like we did for the whole first part of the game. Plus, better influence means more faction choices we get to make that bolster our cult and what we can do in general.

And please for once let's have a magic game without catgirls.

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

Not really...

Nuke, are the Pale Crows already dealing with ghosts in the INF lanes?

Nuke did say the Pale Crows already handle ghost-busting duty, so that isn't exactly useful since it could tie their availability to the Pale Crows.

Beyond which, how it is written is off.

The Hunting Order

A specialized group of criminals we have brought into our fold, The Hunting Order is made up of Acolytes with Warcaster commanders(For magic usage and knowledge), Criminals with experience in hunting, trafficking, and sabotage operations, among others, and the usage of the various Crows to gather information on targets and disrupt enemy operations. Their job is to be the one who strikes those who hunt us, with the Pale Crows leading an information network of regular Devil-Crows, and reporting. As for cover, they are a Hunting Club for anyone questioning why they have weapons, and will make use of our own connections as well. BB also makes a fine firebomb or firestarter, which will help with magic users being able to light it up.

Simplified Objective: Use our Intelligence to Kill and Destroy Enemy Agents and Buildings they operate out of. Exploiting Intelligence ourselves.


There. Full use of the Crow information scouting.

This is effectively the standard for each group, with the Warcaster working with their Acolytes, and them using the Crows. And Pale Crows being linked to the Warcaster. They then pass down the information to the Criminals, Connections are tapped(if any), and Sabotage happens. Like killing the enemy agents, firebombing their areas and workplaces, killing medics/singers.

... Might be more useful than projections actually. They should be either common or uncommon too, if they roll well.. 1 Warcaster for a group.

Keepers of Desire

Keepers are Acolytes trained to use a club and small blade (to a lesser degree than Warcasters) and assigned to provide escorts for our Consorts of Desire. Keepers are dressed in fine clothes and perfumed to a standard befitting a Consort's companion. Their face is always covered by a near-featureless white mask, with the only stand-out detail being the slit cut nearly all the way across it to resemble a thin face-wide grin. They act as personal bodyguards for Consorts and double as extra protection for parties, events, "parties", and "events".


Agents of Discord

Agents of Discord are Uruk infiltrators meant to act from the darkness and shadows, traveling in the open only when absolutely necessary, and doing so only when completely covered by robes, hoods, gloves, pants, masks...any clothing we can make fit to conceal their mutations.

Agents act in cells to identify and disrupt local operations (both the enemy's and any local powers not acting in the Cult's best interests), while ensuring our own operations are protected by their flat-faced, muscular selves and whatever weapon the task calls for. That we can provide them, anyways.

Bodyguard mutations
In order to better protect our consorts we need some better forms of protection. The assassins being sent after our operatives appear to be common criminals that have been mutated slightly with good. To counter them we should recruit some of our own criminals and show these angle worshipers how mutations really work. Our bodyguards will be larger more imposing and possess better senses with a thicker skin and an improved resistance to drugs and poison.

Assassinate: Assassins of Shadow

Assassinate: To Murder for Political or Religious Purposes, key word being murder. By doing so, enemy operations can be disrupted or brought to a halt.

To do so, we've developed an opposite to the Consorts of Desire, the Assassins of Shadow. They have been made indistinct, forgettable by the masses, and can use this power to sneak, hide, and kill their targets, then slip away unnoticed.

By using our gathered information, these assassins use their dagger and skills to murder the enemy agents and those under their sway, sometimes in plain sight in fact thanks to being trained as adept free-runners and being able to blend into a crowd. When no one can remember who killed someone, hiding in plain sight is made quite easy. And Mentally, these Assassins feel immense satisfaction having done their job and murdered their enemy/target. It bring them immense pleasure to pull off a tough kill, so much so that some may even want to do so in the battlefield.



To address the issue of specialization. Assassins of Shadow, rather than be made beautiful, eye-catching, and desireable, become average-looking, forgettable, and immemorable. Perfect for an assassin.

As well, even a low roll should theoretically open up the Assassinate tactic.
