It's happening soon then.
By the following year, everything will fall into place. The final attack wave, the last chance to manipulate the votes, and then we shall see the fruits of your early reign. Not to mention the Starsight Academy! While still in the early stages of construction, that, along with your many gene-enhancements to the majority of the non-Jaxtian population leads you to believe it will pay off in dividends in the future. You guess you're more like your father then you thought. But now is the time for decisive action. That's why he chose you!
But now you have a tough choice to make. The Supreme Ruler already controls all the resources and full power of the Hegemony at his command; but there is a way to inspire the people to even greater heights. Loyalty and fervor are two different things, after all. You could make a vow.
Many Supreme Rulers have made vows before; your Father almost did you believe, and Hass Takar did as well. The almost-divine promise of a Supreme Ruler, to vow to his people to accomplish something impossible, is the second greatest tradition among your people. With exception perhaps only to the Deathmask of Akule the Unspeakable. But making a vow is not free. To promise something, and fail to deliver this sacred promise, is to live in shame and failure for the rest of ones reign and into perpetuity. The Supreme Ruler's word is not to be given out lightly. This weight also prevents the Supreme Ruler from having more then one vow; it stands on its own.
If you decide to make a vow, you can gain one additional turn for your invasion or election-rigging antics. You will gain an extra, no-strings-attached turn with no unforseen or random events besides ones already elaborated upon in the rules. But if you take this additional turn and fail that minigame, you will live in shame and infamy for the rest of your reign. You will still receive a final turn, the vow simply grants and additional one to make up for lost time or ensure you will win.
>Publicly VOW to make the Accord win the election and an ally in space for the future of the Hegemony
>Determined VOW to defeat the Aristocrats and humiliate them in your war without dragging your people through it
>Make no vow; for fear of failure, or out of confidence
