Island Selection Votes
I have closed the polls for the second round of island exploration, and here are the results.
The Freljord: Argyre
The Freljord is setting sail for Argyre:
Argyre is a mountainous, snowy island not unlike the Freljord. Legends tell of small furry inhabitants who sound suspiciously like yordles, as well as a great artifact, “Lanpoa”, which sounds an awful lot like the Mothership. Bandle City recently succeeded in restoring their Mothership to full operation; perhaps something similar could be done here.
Bilgewater: Aeaea
Bilgewater will explore the lovely tropical island of Aeaea:
Aeaea was known as an exceptionally wealthy and prosperous island-city. Their chief export, other than vowels, seems to have been automata.
The Shadow Isles: Korag
The Shadow Isles, having won the right to conduct another mainland expedition, will explore the ruins of the Korag region:
Korag was once a major military and industrial center. There is a remarkable dearth of greenery here, even centuries after the cataclysm. The terrain is rocky and the climate quite cold; it is already blanketed in heavy snow.

Karma has had it up to here with your sass, Summoner. Remember that she has a bunch of ninja assassins just waiting for her next command.

FACTIONS 
military and industry? seriously why would guys pick something we are already strong in…
The Isles probably doesn’t feel ready to assault Daeyux again, and are building up their forces for the second attack. Military will increase their chances, and industry will give them a bit more ability to repair their broken army.
and we will still fail the nexus miserably because we lack research, and we could win without the extra military
You are forgetting that the damage dealt will last, so the enemy will stay at their weakened state while you rebuild what you lost. And don’t forget you can bombard/research attack them again on top of that, so your odds of victory go up significantly from last time.
