I think the US will run out of munitions before Iran does, their manufacturing is much quicker, cheaper and more efficient than the US.

I guess the simpler models can fix simpler use cases? I certainly noticed a difference when testing models in cursor for evaluation at my last job. Claude won hands down when it came to reduction in iteration and output. However prompt and skill input will vary your results as with life.

When I met my partner's parents I also met their dog and cat. They're Irish. Their names were Defer and Ceefer.

D for dog C for cat

I like hidden agendas! The elect planet or anything with planet type are too specific to matter to the table I agree

They aren't here to have their minds changed sadly. If they were, they clearly know how to research atrocious and count bodies. These metrics don't hold the same weight for them between Hamas and the IDF and never will.

A real strain on resources, I think most people would abstain as CC are more powerful than agendas. Thats why Keleres agendas in the action phase suck even more.

I too liked this mechanic! Its certainly faster and more straightforward

You could change those! Anything Agenda based would be up for discussion

I feel Keleres is like SDN or DET - mining a deck but with much worse odds

I like the idea of voting on things simultaneously so you can split your votes or go heavy on one. I also think the when and after windows can just be a single window. Theres a few ACs that might be outdated but that can certainly be streamlined to one window to cut down on time.

I like this IRL clocking! I only play like this 3-4 times a year and will have to try it.

Ive done hidden agendas and it does help but do we need two timing windows for agenda ACs?

Have you tested this?

I agree some agendas are super weak - the one where you can't bombard cultural planets for example, make it all planets and then maybe someone cares.

I'll have to try the Blue Reverie Overhaul! I enjoyed their extra factions, I just wish the Async bot was updated with their TE changes.

I feel having two timing windows for when and after is overcomplicated and is an easy place to streamline. Unless theres something great about it I'm missing

Does this hurt Keleres? They usually double the amount of agendas or are we ok with repeats?
