I just want to kick the Noxians out. If we can attack Noxus and try to do something else with our Piltover matches, I'll be happy.

For instance, our matches with Noxus can determine an attack on their forces, while our matches with Piltover could be something like gaining funding to use on an expedition to get into some of Shurima's tombs, or even Urtistan.
My current plan is to use these FMs as basically stand-ins for World Systems rolls. So if Shurima wants to attack Noxus, I would be very much down for that. That's easy to explain. Maybe we could split the difference and say Shurima wants to "liberate" some of the Noxian/Zaunite operation and sell it back to the megacorps at marked-up prices?

I don't really want to bother Zaun at the moment. If they choose to see our conflict with Noxus as a problem, we can't do anything about it. But for now, I want to focus on milking Noxus and Piltover for as much cash as we can get. Empires are built on money.

Hahaha... I just thought of a great idea. We can't capture the mines. We can capture the area around the mines, forcing a tax on whatever passes through our territory.

Or before they call in an Airstrike with their Space Armada and Laser Artillery and laugh at our pathetic attempts at blockading what belongs to them, or just calling the Institute and saying 'hey, the Shurimans aren't respecting our right to the Pyrikhos Mines' and suddenly we have giant golems, elemental forces and summoners to ensure our 'Compliance'

I keep misunderstanding how their Research Projects work apparently. Allow me to fix that:

"Man, being rich and in a spacecraft is awesome."
"Totally, look at shurima down there, bout to get nuked. Ahh, glad we finally made it back in arc 10, never thought they'd let us back after Hextech."
"Yeah, but being against the Darkin, Shurima, and Ionia is tough, especially after the reworks."
"Look, just be glad the Darkin stole Sona from Ionia. Gave our botlane a much better chance."
"Yup. One more arc and we'll control all of valoran. Drop the nukes, Kuro."

...
...

"Hey, Xalk. That glint of light isn't a nuke."
"Yeah, what... is tha-"
A fiery beam of light pierces the ship from the sun, throwing every summoner on board into space, killing everyone.

Back in Shurima:
Posted Image "PRAISE THE SUN!"
Summoners in unison: "ALL HAIL EMPRESS LEONA, SAVIOR OF VALORAN, QUEEN OF THE VOID."

A giant portal into the Void opens and sucks up all of the Solar Flare, killing many voidlings on the other side.

"Thank Science we took Extradimensional Theory, AMIRITE?"
FTFY, The Sun is a Diety in Runeterra, Extradimensional Theory was researched to basically steal fire from the Gods and provide a counter to them.

Zaun versus deities:



At least, that's how Zaun likes to picture it.

CupcakeTrap, can you explain to us how it actually works if this, or my own examination, isn't it?

Leona calls down a beam of solar energy, dealing damage to enemies in an area. Enemies in the center of the area are stunned, while enemies on the outside are slowed.


Unless I'm not understanding correctly, or the Valoranian solar system is VASTLY different from ours... approximately 93 million miles. Although, knowing the speed of light, and the channel time being only about a second, second and a half... would put their sun only 190,000 to 300,000 miles away instead.

Toasty.

I think it isn't the sun actually shooting a beam and more Leona invoking the power of the stun. Still, between the Sun Disc and Leona's power, I think they could fight off an airborne armada.

Regardless, I don't want to get in a fight. It was just an idea. Once Zaun is done with the mine, would it mind handing it over?

I don't think that's out of the question, after Zaun takes what they want out of the mines there's not a lot of purpose in keeping soldiers over there and using resources to hold land with little value in the long term (unless some private corporation decides it wants a Black Ops storage/training facility in the desert but I doubt it) I think it'd be fair if Shurima could buy back mines when the Pyrikhos dries up. That's not to say Shurima should have to pay Zaun for their land but knowing Zaun, that's a likely possibility.

Hm... maybe a few Featured Match Sets next intermission to find out what happens when the mines are all dried up?

That might be interesting. The reason I want the mines is less for utility and more for a better image of a wholly unified Shurima, you know what I mean?

No. We're not letting Zaun get their hands on any more of our artifacts if we can help it.
