2024.05.14 20:36 Thin_Veterinarian370 New Build Question
Realise this isn’t a renovation but keen for any thoughts. We’re looking at a flat block that’s approx 2 metres below street level behind a retaining wall, necessitating an elevated carport and likely a custom build house as the spec builders won’t stray from their base designs.
We’ve spoken with a couple of custom builders, all which require an upfront design fee which then comes off the build. This got me thinking, should I just employ my own designer and then source a builder?
We’ve built with a project builder before but not a custom so keen for thoughts. Our budget isn’t huge ($950k Brisbane) for such a foray so worried if we get the builders designer to deliver something, then we’re locked into their pricing which might not give us much value?

2024.05.14 20:26 Thisisveryhigh How to fix this retaining wall.
| Just go this house, wood retaining wall is failing right beside a tree planted in the terrace. No textile or drainage that I can see. The only supports are the vertical wood piles and most of those are starting to rot. Here's what I've gathered online about the process; I trench behind the walls and remove the wood. Should I re-use this wood, if so how should it be treated? Add a non woven geotex then gravel footing. Re-build wall with added deadman anchors and fill the remaining gravel/dirt. What spacing for the anchors? Am I missing anything important? Will it happen again if I don't remove the tree? Completely outside my comfort zone, I've had a balcony for a backyard for many years prior so any tips greatly appreciated! submitted by Thisisveryhigh to landscaping [link] [comments] |

| Hi! I live in Western NC and we are about to have some necessary site work done to put up a structural retaining wall. It's gonna move dirt and disturb things. I don't know where my box turtle friend lives exactly, other than on site. Is there a way to keep it safe? submitted by Content_Rooster_6318 to turtles [link] [comments] |
2024.05.14 19:13 Content_Rooster_6318 Unsure how to keep my neighbor safe
Hi! We have this box turtle that lives on our property but I don't know where. We are about to have some earthwork done to create a necessary retaining wall. I don't know where it lives. Is there something I can do to keep it safe until the work is done? Possibly a few weeks.

2024.05.14 18:42 Messy9867 Help - Retaining wall flood
New home owner tackling on landscaping
I have been working on regarding near the foundation of the house and got to the point where I have to address the flooding that occurs during heavily rain near the retaining wall on the right of the photo. A combination of the water from the downspout and rain (illustration in the first photo) is causing the flooding to happen near the top of the retaining wall (third photo). Previous owners had those red pavers near the wall. I figured the pavers were doing nothing and put due to laziness, I went ahead and took them out. Once it stops raining and after ~20 minutes and the water is gone. The fifth photo shows the retaining wall behind the fence.
Is this perfectly normal? How should I proceed with addressing this issue?

2024.05.14 18:30 OrientalBirds Pretty med-low maintenance border suggestions
| Looking for ideas! We have recently bought our home and have a lovely but ‘blank slate’ garden with a decent sized lawn. We’ve already added a greenhouse a couple of veg beds to the back right, but hoping for a pretty border to the front and left side. Soil is clay mix (South East England) and the orientation is south west facing so it gets quite a bit of sun in summer. Currently there’s lavender, lemon balm and rosemary all doing well, what else could I add that’s not too fussy? The front border is along the top of a retaining wall, so we don’t want anything too high that would block light from the patio below! submitted by OrientalBirds to GardeningUK [link] [comments] |

2024.05.14 18:10 Appropriate-Comb2873 Not really easy to order Aeon strength
Its fun to discuss the strength of aeons, but imo its kinda hard to uhhh powerscale aeons since they're more about abiding their path based on how broad it is + under the constraints of their primum mobile. So ig u can order their "strength" based on how broad/narrow their path is, and what feats they've been mentioned to have achieved? But that still doesnt really do much since we dont really know the broadness of paths. Its written to be vague and difficult to understand, even in game.
ie Nanook and Qlipoth: Nanook and Qlipoth are clearly at a dispute since they represent moreso directly conflicting paths, but its not as if they've ever 1v1ed each other from what we know. Qlipoth just builds their walls while Nanook's Emanators seem to be doing most of the work. Qlipoth isnt confronting Nanook or anything cuz of the paths constraints (most likely at least). We know Qlipoth can beat up aeons when they have circumstances that seem to fit their path (Ena's deal and squished Tazzy). And yet, Oroboros, Nanook or any huge threats are free to roam around. There are a lot of (apparent) contradictions about Qlipoth we dont understand - ignoring the IPC building material, etc. Same goes for Nanook. Why are they involved with Stellarons, which have reconstructive properties? Why do they seem inactive (prolly sth to do with Luocha)? How does Finality and Destruction coexist? What really is Destruction?
Also, the nature of paths and Aeons are super weird. IX is meant to be unresponsive but Nihility pathstriders and Acheron exist. Do paths themselves just seem to contradict what they represent? + Aeons, while representing the purest form of their path (apparently), have retained strong personalities. Fu Xuan has an enlightening conversation with Nous, whom of which chooses to appear as an old guy. In the SU, (nearly) every Aeon is super nice to Akivili. What does that mean about being an Aeon? What exactly does ascending into an Aeon entail?
Theres also the matter of eating Aeons, and the nature of "dead" Aeons. Xipe gets to eat Ena because their paths are overlap and Xipe's is broader. Sure. No clue what the exact difference between Order and Harmony is, and thats written rightly so imo. Same goes for Destruction, Finality and Voracity, and Preservation, Remembrance and Equilbrium, etc. We dont know why they dont collide and get absorbed, nor do we know what the real difference between them is, albeit a vague understanding. Makes it easier for the writers to have more autonomy.
As for "dead" Aeons... They just dont seem to die? Remnants of Ena exists. Mirror holders are holding legit pieces of Idrila and the Intelligensia Guild thinks they might actually be able to revive her. So does it matter how prevalent an aeon is if they seem to exist eternally? Would Nanook survive if the Stellaron Hunters and the Astral Expressed stuffed them into IX? Or do we just not know enough about killing an Aeon?

2024.05.14 17:24 deletedunreadxoxo Show me your baby retaining walls! Please and thank you!
The mature trees in our back yard sit against a fence about 4-5 inches higher than the rest of the yard, and are currently lined with rotting logs.
I need some inspiration on what to do with this mess once I remove them. TIA!

2024.05.14 16:36 SkylerNoss Sunflowers
Hello! New to the group. Few questions for you fine folks. I'm building a retaining wall at the moment. What my wife doesn't know is I'm putting a second wall above to make a garden bed for her mammoth sunflowers. My questions are... What depth/soil should the bed be to harbor good roots? And, do they need to be planted with a garden stake? She started them indoors, they're about 5" tall and are already all "floppy" is that normal? Should we sow new seeds and start over? Any help is kindly appreciated! I know she's gonna be stoked as the only place we had to put them she wasn't too keen on.

2024.05.14 16:24 wirez62 Anyone model their house in Sketchup?
I started using Sketchup for woodworking, and I'm OK at it. Not amazing, but know the basics. I'm certainly not an architect, but I can build say, a shed or garage in it with basic windows and doors. I'm experimenting with the idea of paying for the Pro version, to take a look at extensions for the first time, as well as I want to use it for iPad since I spend a lot of time in airports, traveling for work, or in camp/hotel rooms.
When I bought my house, I was given a property report showing corners, yard distances, setbacks, so I transfered all that into Sketchup and started drawing my house. I've taken most measurements and transfered them and have an OK model, but I made some mistakes along the way and need to rebuild it.
I want to get further into planning some fairly extensive yard renovations, and I think at this point, I need to rent one of those rotary laser levels and construction grade level sticks. I'm not sure if that's the exact name of them, but I want to add elevations and slopes to start planning projects like adding a garage, but understanding how much dirt to remove, where retaining walls and other elevation features are needed, and so on.
This is taking my Sketchup learning up a level, so I guess I have 2 questions. What are some resources I should look at for recreating a property in Sketchup with fairly extensive slope? Can I do this in base Sketchup, or do I need extensions for this? I want to confirm exact elevations of my 4 corners, as well as elevations of my house corners, and landmarks such as my front steps.
Does anyone know what this tool is called? I want to call Home Depot and see if that's something they rent for the day. I imagine I need to start with some firm landmarks, such as my concrete front steps, then take elevations using that as the baseline. I have no idea how people find "sea level" elevations.
I was thinking of Sketchup Pro instead of "Go" because I can also transfer drawings to 2d, and if I am serious about building a garage (after modeling and pricing it out) I'll need to submit drawings to the permit office and these 2d drawings in Layout look like a professional option to do that.
I'd also like to learn how to use "Materials" better, so far my knowledge is creating stud walls, and using one of the small handful of base material woods. Any tips on whether plugins are good for getting better materials, or is there some warehouse where I can import/create better materials, or do I do this off photos, etc?
I'd like better materials for concrete, gravel, lumber, siding choices, masonry choices, and even grass. Thanks all.

2024.05.14 15:34 multi-chain Filtering Out the Noise: The Art of Purifying Polymersomes
Filtering Out the Noise: The Art of Purifying Polymersomes.
In the world of
nanotechnology, precision is key. When working with tiny particles like polymersomes, even the slightest impurity can throw off the entire experiment. That’s why purification is a crucial step in the process of creating these complex
nanostructures. In this essay, we’ll delve into the fascinating world of filtration, exploring how scientists use a specialized system to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.
Imagine you’re faced with a bowl of soup filled with vegetables of all sizes. Your task is to separate the large chunks from the smaller bits. This is essentially what the scientists are doing with their
polymersomes, but on a much smaller scale. The challenge is to design a system that can accurately sort these tiny particles, removing impurities and unwanted molecules to produce a pure and uniform population of
polymersomes.
The solution lies in a specialized filtration system called the
KrosFlo Research IIi System. This high-tech sieve is designed specifically for tiny
particles, using a hollow fiber filter module as its heart. The module is a cartridge filled with tiny hollow fibers, which can be thought of as miniature straws with
porous walls. These fibers are the key to the filtration process, allowing smaller particles to pass through while retaining larger ones.
The process begins with a concentrated solution of polymersomes, which are the “
vegetables” the scientists want to sort. To facilitate the filtration process, the solution is diluted with PBS (
phosphate-buffered saline), a solution that mimics the body’s natural environment. The diluted solution is then fed into the KrosFlo system, where it flows through the hollow fibers.
Here’s where the magic happens. Smaller
polymersomes and unwanted molecules pass through the pores in the fiber walls, while larger polymersomes are too big to fit through and are retained within the filter module. The retained volume, containing the larger polymersomes, is then collected, re-diluted, and passed through the filter again. This repeated process helps to further purify the sample, removing any remaining impurities.
But the process isn’t complete yet. To concentrate the purified polymersomes, the researchers switch to a filter module with smaller pores (10 kDa). This allows water and smaller molecules to pass through, while retaining the polymersomes, effectively concentrating the solution.
So why go through all this trouble? The goal is to isolate a pure and uniform population of polymersomes. By removing smaller particles and unwanted molecules, the researchers ensure that their final sample contains only the desired, larger
polymersomes. This is crucial for
downstream experiments and applications where consistency and purity are essential.
In the end, the art of purification is a testament to human ingenuity and the power of science. By designing a system that can accurately sort and purify tiny particles, scientists can unlock the full potential of polymersomes, paving the way for breakthroughs in fields like medicine and biotechnology.

2024.05.14 14:27 TearRepresentative56 Everything Im watching and anlaysing in premarket ahead of PPI. more updates to come during the day. 14/05
For more of my daily analysis please join Tradingedge ANALYSIS:
- FX analysis:
- We see looking at EURUSD that skew is v elevated as IV is elevated on calls vs puts.
- EURUSD is stuck under 1.08 but traders are looking for a break towards 1.09. Note that traders seem to be pricing in softer inflation data. If PPI comes hot and CPI too tomorrow, we can see strong downward move in EURUSD as traders are seemingly complacent from positioning on soft inflation data
- BTC:
- BTC positioning shows traders sell calls. Skew points downward. Can see some pressure for this OPEX as a result, but should push up after that. Hence why price is lower in premarket.
- https://imgur.com/a/mShRPhn
- Oil:
- Range bound as traders waiting for US economic data this week. But skew is still pointing higher. Buyer momentum is higher, so it is positioned for a move higher but I suppose traders hold their breath waiting for the data.

2024.05.14 14:15 KamikazeSting Building a fence on block wall
| The neighbor hired landscapers to build this retaining wall. There’s a 4’ (120cm) drop on their side so it will need a fence of about the same height. I was hoping to drill footings into the block but on closer inspection I’m not so sure. Option 2 is to dig footings on the landfill side. Advice welcome. submitted by KamikazeSting to FenceBuilding [link] [comments] |

Since after World War II, linguists, due to lack of interest in Kurdish studies, have often neglected the pre-Iranic substratum in Kurdish and focused merely on the Irano-Kurdish layer. Of the Urartian language is not much known either (about 300 words), however, a strong majority of its known words have a identical or at least close equivalent in Kurdish. Urartian though closely related to Hurrian, sound more similar to Kurdish than does Hurrian; this may depend on the fact that Hurrian was spoken at an earlier time period. Mannaean was another Hurro-Urartian-related dialect spoken south of lake Urmia.
It is also worth noting that Armenian scholars have found a few Urartian words in Armenian, which appear to be borrowings via Kurdish.

The Midnight Court - Wewelsburg, Álfheimr
"I had no expectation of being crowned." Princess Kyōko looked towards the crowd of Alfr nobility which had amassed itself in the great hall of the Midnight Court. Excluding the Princess, who stood just in front of the Night King's Throne, the nobility made up of nearly all conquered people remained quiet as the Princess continued to speak - the shock of recent events emanating throughout the room. "And yet death of my uncle...has come as a shock."
The court was somber, the lights dim - only a few skylights pointed towards the Princess whose Golden crown had only just been placed on her head by the same woman who had coronated her Uncle all those years ago. The flags which had once flown as a symbol of the Aesir, now remained furled, awaiting to be revealed as the once Japanese Princess, continued to speak.
"In the years since my Uncle's coronation, our Aesir, has led you all to the well of prosperity, happiness, and security. Under his auspices rule, under the Night King's watchful gaze, you people...you all...have been so very lucky. So very lucky to have survived this long." Gasps from the crowd where audible as members of the Valkyrie of the 1st Sturmtruppen marched into the Great Hall, those members of the Elite Imperial Guard whose loyalty lay only with the Aesir. "Under the former Aesir, you have been...blinded by a shroud of darkness from true enlightenment. The failures of this Imperial Might, whose forces once so easily marched West across France and conquered Western Europe, come from your blind faith in my Uncle. You have been bested in a Gothic War which saw the needless deaths of so many of the Aesir's Chosen. And yet you cry out for more conflict?"
The new Aesir could see the daggers as she looked out at the crowd, as her words struck the very heart of the Alfheim's Imperial Center. From the corner of her eye, she could barely make out one figure leaving the Hall, shooting an icy yet aware glance towards the Throne, however, now was no time to stop, she had a mission here.
"At every step, your former ruler...has ensured that the entire weight of the world would come crashing down on his Empire. Even now, you face a rebellion in Italy, and the possibility of war in the outer colonies of Svartálfar and Mexico. And if not for the idleness of the great Goliath of Eastern Europe your very homeland would have most assuredly been lost by now."
By now, only the Æsir's Chosen had remained without reaction. The nobility long in uproar, confusion, and fear as the former second-rate Princess from Japan gave lecture on the future of the Empire.
"You all...I...have never seen throughout history, an Empire so reviled that even my own Father's machinations have gone unheeded by the world." The newly crowned Aesir cared little for choosing her words, knowing that ultimately, they'd have to all bend the knee either way. "Your world has failed, and I am here to save you."
The murmuring of the crowd would have become overwhelming if it was not for the clerics who raised and slammed the ends of their banners on the ground, unfurling the new flag of the Imperial Álfheimr while sending the crowds into a fervor of chanting.
“Long live Æsir!”
“Long live Æsir!”
“Long live Æsir!”
As the Midnight Sun rose over the old world, those nobility knew a new era had begun.

"The Malagasy Terror returns to South Africa, Mexico falls into the grips of Japanese Empire"
Bandung Daily Issued January 31st, 2072 - 12:00 Mombasa, The Union of African Socialist Republics
MOMBASA - As the world continues to feel the shockwaves from the death of former imperialist dictator Dederick Lohengrin, it has been confirmed that the Malagasy Terror otherwise known as Japanese Rear Admiral Sentaro Omori has been confirmed as the new Imperial Governor of Marley. According to reports from the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Kamisato Ayaka, the handover of South Africa represents the 16th Imperial Administrative Zone of the ever growing Japanese Empire. Likewise, according to reports coming out of the JIIA - Rear Admiral Takagi Daisuke has been named Imperial Governor of Azteca (known globally as Mexico), as the newest and 17th Imperial Colony. The news has forced the resurfacing of existing fears within the UASR, and by extension broader Bandung Pact as to ongoing colonialism by the Japanese Empire which has despite its claim to "isolation", come to control vast swathes of the globe.
The annexation of South Africa, or rather, the repeated annexation of South Africa by Japan showcases the ongoing Imperial ambitions of a Japan which has frequently been known to break the conventions on human rights with its rumors of prison camps and genocide. Now following the death of the former Aesir of Alfheim who himself was a scourge on the continent of Africa, Japan has only further pushed the boundaries of its Imperial borders, using the second born Princess Kyōko as a way of wrestling control over the once antagonistic German Empire. While the hand-over of the Alfr's two most valued colonies was ostensibly done under the pretense of the possibility of outright war from a Bandung Pact led liberation of either South Africa or Mexico, experts across the Globe have come to other theories.
Specifically, experts within the UASR have begun theorizing that the recent withdrawal of the Alfheim from its Imperial ambitions, is largely, due to the possibility of an ongoing internal conflict between various factions within the Alfheimr Empire - namely, it is believed that there are several dissenting factions attempting to wrestle control out of Japanese hands. While outright war seems unlikely, the possibility of conflict cannot be understated as [Kyrr Von Lohengrin](), the Æsir's Chosen, and Danubian Habsburgs have been seen far more frequently in official affairs - while Alfheimr military assets appear to be on the constant move. While it is believed that much of the Aesir's non-Human population has as dictated by central processing units in both Wewelsburg, Berlin, and Paris been accepting of the new Æsir, more complex androids like the Æsir's Chosen and the vast majority of the religiously indoctrinated human population is rumored to be far less tolerant of both the official explanation of the Æsir's death and of the new ruling Æsir. Ultimately, while most experts believe outright conflict to be unlikely, some like those within the INC (GIGAS), have begun to whisper about the possibility of coming conflict.
Rare are the times that Kyrr von Lohengrin, former Imperial Vizikong of North Amerika and Minister of Foreign Affairs had found himself in this office. Its white walls, mirroring those of the exterior, was one of the few buildings permitted to be rebuilt in the wake of the Third Republic's destruction. And yet here he was all the same, the slow ticking of a grandfather clock in the corner the only audible noise that could be heard even with his enhanced hearing. Not even the breathing of the man sitting at the restored Resolute Desk was enough to break Kyrr out of his state of shock. It was only when the man and his hulking frame spoke, that Kyrr's attention drifted back to the present.
"I once sat where you are now." President Armstrong who had once betrayed the Third Republic mused as he stared down the nimble looking Alfr. "I offered your King a Kingdom, and look at him now...laying in dirt.
If not for the desperation of Kyrr's current situation, he would have ordered this so-called President's execution for disrespecting the Aesir.
"And for that matter, look at you, you proud Alfr who once strode in here so high and mighty declaring a new world order. You know? Katherine might have been right...hahaha." Armstrong spat out his tobacco as he leaned back in his chair, resting his legs on the desk. "Your worse than us now, at least we never lost our homes."
The disdain in Armstrong's voice was palpable, as his baritone voice echoed throughout the office. Kyrr could barely hide his own contempt, and disgust at what was nothing more than a sub-human caveman lecturing to one of the Aesir's closest confidants.
"And now, as those Jap fucks stretch their god damn Midnight Sun across Europe...you come to me, Papa Armstrong for help." Armstrong's face broke into a wicked smile; violence, rage, and hatred spewing from his eyes. "Well your in luck, kid. Because you've come to a land where the people are free, there is no slate to wipe because I've already burned the fucking thing to the ground."
"Look, I'm not here for a monologue. We both have things we can off-...."
"Shut the fuck up and sit there, quietly. You came here for whatever I can offer, not the other way around." Armstrong's smile only continued to widen as it reached comedically lengths. "And as I said, your in luck, because I can offer you a place in my new America. People will die, and kill, and you can be one of the killers."
Kyrr continued to stare at the American whose smile literally reached from ear to ear.
"So...whaddya think?"

"Fall Dämmerung and the Álfheimr Civil War"
CNN (Commonwealth) Issued October 16th, 2072 - 12:00 Warsaw, The Commonwealth
PARIS - As the Black Fleet lay smoldering at the bottom of the Atlantic, the Global Interoperable Guarantee for Allied Support has announced the end of the Álfheimr Civil War which had started in the late Spring of 2072. While the ACW had begun largely due to factional disputes on an internal level within Imperial Álfheimr government following the coronation of the new Æsir, too most experts, it didn't officially begin until the secession of what is now informally known as the "Republic of New Álfheimr". The New Republic which exists in an unrecognized status (by Imperial Japan, the INC, and GIGAS at large), is now formally made up of the "Imperial Dominion of Amerika" which was the former Third American Republic before its conquest by the late Greater Aryan Empire (GAE). The secession of America was allegedly brought about by an alliance between certain Dederick Lohengrin loyalists including Kyrr von Lohengrin, alongside Steven Armstrong the titular "Governor" of the American colony. While the Civil War had originally been fought solely between the Imperial Álfheimr under the recently crowned Æsir Kyōko and Kyrr's New Republic, the follow-up secession of Danubia from the Imperial Álfheimr quickly brought new levels of severity - forcing GIGAS's hand and involvement.
The secession of Danubia under the command of Ferdinand Habsburg, as advised by Gloria von Habsburg led to the creation of "The Grand Imperium of Europa", a new so-called Empire claiming to be the true successors of the Greater Aryan Empire. To even greater surprise however, it would appear that the Danubian secession was supported by the O-5 Council and broader Æsir Chosen including "The Advisor, Commander, and Mother" among others. This was a major blow to Æsir Kyōko's legitimacy, and additionally led to a significant loss of human manpower within the Imperial Álfheimr which coupled with the creation of Kyrr's Republic - undoubtedly forced Álfheimr's call for aide.
These events ultimately led to a "forced peace" between the Imperial Álfheimr which is ostensibly still "independent" from the Empire of Japan, the Republic of New Álfheimr, and Grand Imperium of Europa by GIGAS through the destruction of the feuding Black Fleet in the Atlantic operated by the Republic of New Álfheimr. At the same time however, efforts by the Bandung Pact and Eastern Union to capitalize on these events have largely fallen flat - as crises in Israel, Kaabu, and even Eastern Siberia have led to a new level of unprecedented global tension. Nevertheless, while a tacit "white peace" currently exists between the three "Álfheimr successor states", none are certain that such a peace will hold even under GIGAS oversight.

- Claimant receives special/secret information at the start of the Campaign
Things to Consider
The Grand Imperium of Europa is unique in its existence as a fortress state among fortress states, nestled in the heart of Central Europe and shielded from the broader "Japanese Alfheim" (Berlin/Paris, etcetera), the Grand Imperium claims not only to be the true successor of the GAE - but has in many ways, the military might to back it up. Having retained much of the human-based military, and significant portions of the non-human army as well, its only lack is in naval capability.
The Grand Imperium like the RNA also has the benefit of having total access to the Alfheim technology base (anything Tion, Eagan, 8th, etcetera posted). At the same time however, while starting at "peace" with the other Alfr successors and neighbors, the Grand Imperium must be careful as overt aggression against Imperial Alfheim may incur Japanese intervention - although, this is not assured by any means. However due to the ACW, it will likely take 1-2 years to rebuild the ability to produce more.
The Grand Imperium of Europa represents a strong, mid-level claim in a precarious yet flexible geopolitical starting position.

Things to Consider
The Imperial Protectorate of the Italian Social Republic begins in the unique position of being forgotten in large part by its recent conquerors, and having seen rebuilding investment under the deceased Aesir. The claim ostensibly has multiple factions but players must be cautious as the wrong move to quickly might see the gaze of Imperial Alfheimr or possibly the Grand Imperium of Europa (among other claims) turn towards either putting down a rebellion or imperial conquest.
The Imperial Protectorate of the Italian Social Republic has access to all Alfheim technology, and thanks to the rebuilding investment - has the ability to produce all of it.
- DETAILS
- Head of State: Steven Armstrong
- Other Important Characters (meta control)
- Kyrr von Lohengrin (Former Foreign Affairs Minister under Dederick)
- Ingel Faedryk (Former Reichsfuhrer-SS under Dederick)
- Svipul von Lohengrin (Former Imperial Spymaster under Dederick)
- Population: 143,863,000
- Claim Starting Allotments (IE. Special Starting Scenario)
- Has access to large portions of in-production Alfheimr military equipment (refer to Tion's posts) - Continental European in-production units largely destroyed unless in NPC territories.
- Has a secret alliance with certain NPC claims (informed to the player)
Things to Consider
The Republic of New Álfheimr while a democracy, still considers itself the true successor to Dederick von Lohengrin, and has the geographic, military, and economic position to be immediately independent should its cards be played correctly. They are the strongest military of the three main successors, and similarly have a strong geopolitical starting position, alongside a network of secret diplomatic alliances.
The RNA is in a unique position to quickly assert itself as an independent state, having inherited the same technology base as the Grand Imperium - but in greater existing asset quantities. The RNA also has a large portion of the former GAE's "android" soldiers - making for a lethal and incredibly loyal army right out of the gates.
