Rebuilding the Lonestar state

Rebuilding the Lonestar state is a set of decisions availavable to the Provisional republic of Texas and by extension (after it is formed) the countries it formed from. These countries are Texan Brotherhood, Unity of Austin and the Lone Star. (mabye also the Tubeheads but they dont have a focus for it and are a minor).

This set of decisions is slightly different than clasic development decisions for one, they can be pursued simultaneously (if you have the apropriate focus), take various ammounts of time, the outcome is predetermined and significantly beter.

These decisions are one of the reasons Provisional republic of Texas is so powerfull (at least in 3.2), the other being their special constitution mechanic.

## List of the decisions

## Trivia and bugs

* Every focus mentioned on this page takes 30 days, in total 180 days (+240) to complete all.
* It is possible to start all the decisions at the same time reducing yourself to -100% construction time and 75% extra consumer factories. This might be preferable to gradual implementation over the tie of ~1200 days (if the bug is fixed).
* (BUG) The timer on "Rebuild the gas fields" seems to be mising a 0 and now takes only 24 days instead of 240.
The Viceroyalty

**The Viceroyalty** is a royal group in the Mexican region.

## Historical background

The Viceroyal spun off from Nueva Aztlán when they realized they were within the lands Tlaloc would protect from outside aggression. Why pay taxes to a blind girl if the old world god will protect its cities at no cost? But as Tlaloc wheezes his final breaths, many wonder how long it will be before the empire comes north to reclaim what it lost."

Caesar's Legion

**Caesar's Legion** is an imperialistic, ultra-reactionary totalitarian dictatorship based on large scale slavery. Founded in 2247 by Edward Sallow, its Caesar, and Joshua Graham (also known as the Malpais Legate).

## Historical background

Founded by a group of hostages captured by the Blackfoot Tribe, nobody could have realised how far Caesar would take the tribals under him. Almost two decades later and the Legion is fighting numerous wars of conquest, having absorbed tens of tribes and stripped them of their identities; converting them to Caesar's cult of personality.

The Legion must consider its options. The White Legs slowly warm to the them, the Hangdogs and Twin Mothers prepare for war, and the NCR observes from a distance. However, Caesar desires the Twisted Hairs as their conquest will bring him closer to Vegas; his Rome.

Beltran-Levya

**Beltran-Levya** is a cartel in the Mexican region.

## Historical background

The splintered southern remnants of the Sinaloa cartel lie squatting in the jungle, owing their continued survival against the Free Fighters to the Bandito and his new Beltran-Levya clique. While poor in infrastructure and resources, the cartel has embraced the Bandit's brutal ways, and is preparing for a bloody reconqista against the luchadores.

While alone, Beltran-Levya is weak and isolated, but if the two cartels could be reunited once more, the moribosos of Mexico could achieve great and terrible things.
The 13th Hunger Games

"*From 9, there's the famous Mizar Aldjoy, the girl who won in an abandoned town.*"

-Magnus talking about this year's Games

The 13th Games were won by the 17 year old Mizar Aldjoy from District 9.

## Pre Games

This year's Head Gamemaker was Nashir Gemina. Also, Mizar's odds of winning were 24-1. Mizar used slingshots to fire knives.

## 13th Games

During the Games, the arena was a classic wild west style desert. The Cornucopia was in an abandoned town. The Weapons in the Cornucopia included war clubs, tomahawks, spears and bows , and arrow and simple sickles and scythes. In the bloodbath, 10 tributes died, most of them being from the careers, and one was from Mizar. Many died trying to eat the food in the old abandoned store, but it was poisoned and so half of the tributes died when they had to food. However, Mizar was smart and took extra precautions, so she ate what was in her bag instead.

After getting energized, she went out hunting for tributes. She came across 2 tributes, both she killed. One of them was a boy from District 11, who almost choked her to death, but she used her knife to stab him in the chest, causing him to bleed to death. The last tribute she had to face was a boy from District 1, who tried to stab her with a knife, but he missed and Mizar sliced his legs, making him sink to the ground before she slit his throat, killing him, crowing her the Victor.

## Post Games

District 9 received a wheat farm with a root system from intercropping that gave them food all year around as their District Gift.
Edward Teller/Ivy Mike

Aka Edward Teller

**Edward Teller** is a Nuker-class pseudo spirit.

## History

Teller left Hungary in 1926, partly due to the discriminatory numerus clausus rule under Miklós Horthy's regime. The political climate and revolutions in Hungary during his youth instilled a lingering animosity for both Communism and Fascism in Teller. When he was a young student, his right foot was severed in a streetcar accident in Munich, requiring him to wear a prosthetic foot, and leaving him with a lifelong limp. Werner Heisenberg said that it was the hardiness of Teller's spirit, rather than stoicism, that allowed him to cope so well with the accident.

Teller graduated in chemical engineering at the University of Karlsruhe, and received in 1930 his Ph.D. in physics under Werner Heisenberg at the University of Leipzig. Teller's dissertation dealt with one of the first accurate quantum mechanical treatments of the hydrogen molecular ion. In 1930 he befriended Russian physicists George Gamow and Lev Landau. Teller's lifelong friendship with a Czech physicist, George Placzek, was also very important for his scientific and philosophical development. It was Placzek who arranged a summer stay in Rome with Enrico Fermi in 1932, thus orienting Teller's scientific career in nuclear physics.

In 1930, Teller moved to the University of Göttingen, then one of the world's great centers of physics due to the presence of Max Born and James Franck,[12] but after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933, Germany became unsafe for Jewish people, and he left through the aid of the International Rescue Committee. He went briefly to England, and moved for a year to Copenhagen, where he worked under Niels Bohr. In February 1934, he married his long-time girlfriend Augusta Maria "Mici" (pronounced "Mitzi") Harkanyi, the sister of a friend. He returned to England in September 1934.

## Personality

Nuker is known for his volatile personality. He is known for his controversial and technology solutions to life. Like Einstein and Feynman, he was a late talker.

## Role in the series

Nuker is a Pseudo-Spirit possessed in the body of a transgender boy. Unlike Oppenheimer, he remains the boy's hair. He was quiet the whole time and is only active when working on electronical machines while Oppenheimer presents in the body. He shows no signs of dysphoria and thought of them as useless.

Nuker is revealed on Rob Oppenheimer's flashback.

He treats people as they were younger than him.

## Relationships

Werner Heisenberg - "He was my teacher. He was the reason why I got into theorical physics."

Rob Oppenheimer - "Please don't say his name in front of me"

Enrico Fermi - "I discuss problems with him"

Richard Feynman - "People thought of him as a good scholar and a tutor and his stories are good to listen. A great author as well. Sad he couldn't live that long"

Ending 3: Purification

* Agree with Emma that Kuro must not die when she had moved upstairs
* Obtain the Mortal Blade, Shelter Stone and Lotus of the Palace
* Disobey Owl, breaking the Iron Code
* Talk to Emma right after defeating Owl and at Old Grave
* Eavesdrop on Emma and the Sculptor at the Dilapidated Temple
* Confront Emma to receive Father's Bell Charm
* Revisit the Hirata Estate memory and defeat Owl (Father)
* Defeat the Divine Dragon and obtain its tears
* Defeat Isshin, the Sword Saint
* Choose to give Kuro the Divine Dragon's Tears and the Everblossom

This quest line can be started either before or after facing Great Shinobi - Owl atop Ashina Castle, but it must be completed before defeating the Divine Dragon in the Fountainhead Palace.

After defeating Genichiro atop the Castle, Kuro can be eavesdropped on on several occasions. After his dialogue about "doing what must be done", talk to Emma near the Castle Tower Lookout. Wolf must agree with her that Kuro must not die.
After obtaining the Mortal Blade in Inner Sanctum, Shelter Stone and the Lotus of the Palace, all of the Sculptor's Idols in the Ashina Castle will become inaccessible. Upon reaching the top of the castle, Owl will be waiting on the rooftop, presenting Wolf the choice to obey the Iron Code, forsaking Kuro or to break the Iron Code and stand by Kuro. Choosing the latter is required for this ending.
After talking to Emma once again and she will give Tomoe's Note, then talk to her at the Old Grave, then at the Dilapidated Temple. After eavesdropping on her and the Sculptor through a hole in the back, confront her to receive Father's Bell Charm to gain access the second version of the Hirata Estate memory and defeat Owl (Father) to obtain the Aromatic Flower.
After obtaining the Divine Dragon's Tears, on the Silvergrass Fields, Wolf will challenge Genichiro Ashina once again, then fight Isshin, the Sword Saint summoned by the black Mortal Blade. After defeating him, Wolf must give the Divine Dragon's Tears and the Everblossom to Kuro for the ending. Wolf then proceeds to behead himself in order to sever the ties of immortality, freeing his Lord.
Following these events, Kuro no longer possesses the Dragon's Heritage and visits the grave of his loyal Wolf, before parting way with Emma and presumably leaves Ashina.

**Tamura Shuzen** (田村主膳), referred to as "**General Tamura**" (敵将田村, Tekishō Tamura) in the introductory cinematic, was a general in the Sengoku Era. He used to wield a cross-bladed spear.

He fought against the Ashina to supress their rebellion, but was ultimately killed by Isshin Ashina on the battlefield.

After his victory, Isshin kept Tamura's great spear as a trophy of his victory. Later, he rewarded it to Gyoubu Oniwa for his great strength after recruiting him. When the young Isshin comes back to life to grant his adopted grandson Genichiro's last wish, he uses this spear in battle, alongside his sword and gun.

Immortal Monk

A weaker version of **Immortal Monks** are first encountered in a room filled with Crickets before the Temple Grounds of Senpou Temple and three are sitting in the Main Hall next to the Sculptor's Idol.

The stronger version that has a centipede crawling out of it is first found in the courtyard at Temple Grounds, and another sitting in the Main Hall next to the Sculptor's Idol.

## Behaviour and Tactics

### Weak Version

The Immortal Monk encountered for the first time and the three in the Main Hall seem to be a less advanced form of infection.

* **Summon Cricket**: Summons Crickets to assist against intruders.
* **Spit**: Deals a small amount of damage and makes Crickets attack those covered in it.

### Stronger Version

* **Perilous Grab**: the centipede shoots forward rapidly and pulling Wolf in for the Monk's embrace.
* **Perilous Embrace**: the Monk pulls in Wolf for an embrace, recovering most of its health. If fought at close quarters, it might attempt an Embrace without the Perilous Grab.
* **Lunge**: the centipede lunges forward in an attack.
* **Lunge Combo**: the centipede executes a series of lunges forward.
* **Descending Plunge**: the centipede prepares for a downwards-arching attack.

The only way to kill an Immortal Monk is through the use of the Mortal Blade. Because of this resurrection, an Immortal Monk can be used to regain lost Vitality with the Shinobi Combat Art: Breath of Life - Light indefinitely, as the enemy will always come back to life when it's killed, so long as the Mortal Blade is not used.

## Location

* Abandoned Dungeon Entrace: located just a few feet away from the Sculptor's Idol.

## Progression #1

Upon defeating the Corrupted Monk, the Dragon's Tally Board she drops will unlock new items at every merchant.

## Progression #2

### Ashina Outskirts (Outskirts Wall - Stairway)

Complete Anayama's questline (see his page for in depth info) to acquire the Promissory Note, which will discount by 10% the cost of every item sold by merchants.

**Wolf**: An offering?
 **First Encounter** | **Memorial Mob**: Care to purchase an offering?
**Wolf**: Another one...
 **When Infected with Dragonrot** | **Memorial Mob**: I've been... Cursed... (Wheeze... Wheeze...) It's this place... so much brutality... I must... make an offering...

## Trivia

* The Dungeon Memorial Mob has an unique dialogue whether Wolf decides to send Kotaro or Jinzaemon Kumano to Doujun.
* "供養" is an act of making an offering to or a memorial service for the dead, while "衆" is a person belonging to a group or being under a lord's command, making their Japanese name translate to something akin to "those offering to the dead".

## Cut Content

 **When Given the Medicine to Cure Dragonrot** | Thank you. Looks like the curse has been lifted, thanks to you. Thank heavens, now I can continue my life's work of selling offerings. Those who cannot die are tormented and consumed by their grudges. They are truly in need of our offerings. Now can I interest you in an offering?

Folding Screen Monkeys

The **Folding Screen Monkeys** (are a group of elusive monkeys located in the Illusive Hall of Senpou Temple. They have befriended the Divine Child of Rejuvenation.

There are four notable locations in the area, each of which has a purpose in catching the monkeys.

## Behaviour and Tactics

Besides the four monkeys that need to be captured, many other monkeys appear that will attack as Wolf approaches them. Their attacks inflict Terror, so it is best to dispatch them quickly.

Three of the four monkeys to capture will run away as Wolf approaches. They leave coloured footprints on the ground leading in the direction in which they fled.

Each of them have different characteristics. Izawaru has good hearing. Mizaru has good vision. Shizaru chases Wolf around, creating footstep sounds and flinging objects around in its wake. Kikazaru does not have special characteristics but has a gong it will beat to alert the other Monkeys of danger.

If the chase proved to be too difficult, simply ring the Illusive Hall Bell to reset the Hall to its initial state and taking Wolf back to the entrance. Monkeys caught in the folding screen though will not escape. When Wolf catches up to the main monkeys, he can attack very aggressively to take them out. They are weak and will not retaliate. Overall, the fight is more of a puzzle than a traditional battle. Alternatively, taking Gachiin's Sugar and sneak along the rooftop will surely yield the same end result more effectively.

Mizaru: it is dark in the Abyss Hall, and the Light Hall can also be made dark, so the he can not see here. He is found sitting on nearby roof before reaching the Light Hall.

Izawaru: the Deafening Bell can be used to create a loud sound that makes one's ears ring, and the Roaring Hall serves a similar purpose, so the he can not hear Wolf approaching. He is found sitting on the largest branch of the great tree.

Kikazaru: sneak up behind him along the rooftop. He is found patrolling along the main entrance roof.

Shizaru: arguably the easiest one since he is right behind Wolf upon spirited to the Illusory Hall. If missed, he can be tracked through the prominent walking sounds coming from behind and golden footsteps.

## Trivia

* The original name of this bossfight 見る猿、聞く猿、言う猿、translates to "Seeing Monkey, Hearing Monkey, Speaking Monkey, " with a comma at the end, alluding to the last, invisible monkey.

Gatehouse Key

## In-Game Description

Here, Gyoubu Masataka Oniwa is respectfully guarded by Ashina samurai. The Broken Horn is the spear blade once wielded by Gyoubu the Demon. It's said that no prey can escape Gyoubu's horn.
It pulls enemies in, and is even capable of stripping an enemy's armor.

## Availability

* The key is dropped by a spear-wielding soldier on the bridge to the Abandoned Dungeon. Grapple onto the branch in front of the Faithful One near the Ashina Castle Sculptor's Idol and pass the gate to find the soldier speaking to a swordsman.
* Found to the left of the Ashina Castle Sculptor's Idol, in front of the door that leads down to the Ashina Reservoir, if it hasn't been retrieved prior to the first invasion of Ashina Castle by the Central Forces.

## Overview

Used to unlock the building in the Ashina Reservoir where Gyoubu's Broken Horn is held. The spot is the same where underneath the floor, in the prologue, Wolf could eavesdrop on two soldiers talking about Kuro and Genichiro.

## Notes

* Despite being possible to collect this item even after the final invasion of Ashina Castle and Outskirts by the Central Forces, the place where this key would be used in Ashina Reservoir is unreachable and Gyoubu's Broken Horn will be available in the Offering Box next to Hanbei for 2800 2800.

Bell Demon

## In-Game Description

Possesses those who ring the bell, strengthening enemies around them.
The Bell Demon confers hardship, but perhaps also slightly better spoils.
Using this item has no particular effect aside from causing the demon to leave.

## Availability

Acquired by ringing the bell atop the Bell Demon's Temple in Senpou Temple, Mt. Kongo.

## Overview

Dismisses the demon and undone its curse.

Having the demon bestows "Sinister Burden" onto Wolf, which increases the damage done by enemies, while also increasing the rewards for defeating them.

The "Sinister Burden" doesn't increase nor the quantity of Experience nor of Sens dropped by enemies.

Since the "Sinister Burden" only affects the item drop rate of enemies and, therefore, has no positive effect on Bosses and Mini-Bosses, it can be used for farming upgrades and then dispelled before a major fight.

## Notes

* Cannot be sold.
* Once per playthrough, after having spoken to the Faithful One of Ashina Castle or of Senpou Temple or of the Sunken Valley , it's possible to receive a reward by using next to her for the first time one of the following items (this questline and its progression is shared between these three characters):
	+ Bell Demon
	+ Bundled Jizo Statue
	+ Dragon's Blood Droplet (not at the Sculptor's Idol)
	+ Any of the Mibu Balloons
		- She'll gift Wolf one of the following items in this order:
	1. Ungo's Sugar [x1]
	2. Ako's Sugar [x1]
	3. Divine Confetti [x1]

* The "Sinister Burden" is automatically removed upon entering a New Game Cycle.
