Going through a quick search of the thread, Dr Mercer was first mentioned here, when we were imprisoned in the lab beneath the hospital. So, it stands to reason that Mercer here is an elfy! CAPTURE HIM! SHOW HIM THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS! MAKE HIM BLEED!!!
Make another Banshee? Use him to torture/threaten people with becoming living stone?

Little question here,
will trolls be part of goblin forts? If so, how will they be found in the dark fortress?

In a more specific tone, How will trolls be treated by gobbos, animals? People? Bombs? If they are included in the dark fort, will they be chained? Live in rooms? Or be pastured like sheep?
They already have civilian jobs when invading, and seeing as goblins are pretty much an equal-opportunities evil race, I'd expect them to simply work like anyone else.

We would of course need the support of the locals. A good way to ensure that would be schools, employment, infrastructure projects etc.

Pros: Not having a guerilla movement in our area, more and more loyal soldiers, good PR
Cons: Expensive

we are here we might as well help
Sure, but while keeping our losses to a minimum. No point in getting all ventilated, as the terminology seems to be ;)
and we have two ships in the air so if the bad guys get it our ships are trashed!
Just keep the ships out of range and take out anyone trying to man the AA gun. Shouldn't be too hard considering it provides almost no cover.

Any chance to use the incendary grenades?

perhaps we simply need to branch out into other types of puns?
Yes, cheese. I don't want this to become like the other thread.

Branching out to other puns doesn't sound so eggciting to me.
That link is seven kinds of broaken, btw.

Quite well funded? They can't be better than the Taliban, and boy do those suck: There's a story about a battle where a few Americans were wounded and a couple Afghani soldiers killed. Taliban body count: Close to two hundred. And that was while having the coalition forces pinned down at a cliff for half a day without air or artillery  support.
And don't think the diamond money goes exclusively into their military actions: Lots of others are making money off that trade, too. A better cash cow would be drug trade, anyway. Or counterfeit rhino's horn, to be used in Chinese medicine!

We're getting paid to secure the station, not to kill the Kapellans - I'd rather see the Highlanders decimated than our people wounded. The Kapellans will not get out of this alive either way, so we should stick to a support role.

Afterwards go search for !!TECHNOLOGY!! .

Sooo... is the DF world a disk? And what's underneath?

Get the banshee in the basement, then go look there yourself - do not send Bennie.

Talk supportively with Bennie again, check up on Diane.

And the bacteria seem to be in our saliva, at least juudging by what the ants started doing.

I would think that the rebels of the Congo would be ill-equipped and almost completely untrained - if we get a few tanks into the area, we probably can get them to surrender and continue fighting on our side.

Also, have I posted this yet?

Also by the sea, and with poor-as-africans neighbors. Maybe something in Africa?

I always thought we could first conquer a backwards african country, then start selling drugs and stuff while exploiting the locals.

Pros: Realistic, only needs weapons and plane tickets.
Cons: Those natives have guns too. And the UN will be angry with us, but even Assad doesn't care about that.
We could get some agents in the UN, have them booze up all of the other UN so they never judge us.
Better idea: Conquer some country ruled by horrible dictators that the US hates, then run it well. We'll get plenty of wealth and positive PR.
Perfect!
Wait, someone agrees with me?

It's a good idea. Gives us more time to truly decide what we're gonna do to Earth, as they'll like us.
Hoooray, slightly more realism!
So what country do we pick? I'd say someplace in the Congo - massacres there don't even get into the western news, much less on the front page.

What about Somalia?  It is total anarchy there, and if we establish an agreeable government that curbs the pirates in the area, we would be on good standing with the west.
Somalia was recently invaded by the african union, so no.
And of course, we would probably need a smaller country.  Rowanda?  Uganda?  Congo (not democratic republic)?
How about a small part of the DR Congo? Somewhere in the interior, with access to a major river for easy transport.
Well, how would we get there? Aren't most Bay12ers in the States?
Does anyone even speak the language they speak there, or know what it is without looking it up?

Valid point, but there are many overseas, but none near that area.  We need to find the greatest concentration before we make these plans.
So...who lives near or in an unstable country? And don't say, "Me! The US is kinda shaky right now!", you're not being funny.
Me, the EU is pretty fragile right now!

(What? I thought that was funny...)

I like the escort stuff - it can be combined with prospecting for a new settlement site, finding animals, going hunting etc.

Has anyone suggested spying yet?
