[22][Act] Train Hunters
[14][Act] Intensify Cultivation
It's like I don't even know this thread anymore!
Cultivation is shiny and new. Besides, this way we can hit a boosted double raid next turn without any worries.
Speaking of which, @OliWhail , How does Train Hunters interact with double raid? Does the boost apply once or twice?
Regarding future actions, once we hit 3 actions a turn, I want to do Cultivation x3. Hitting the maximum in a single turn ought to force an innovation in that regard. Another thing we can do with three actions is Hunting x2 + Training Hunters, and just nuke some poor bastard off the map the next turn with a boosted Raid x3. We will fight like tigers, carefully measuring our target, stalking ever closer, before pouncing for one lethal blow.

E: Looks like a big preparation turn. What are y'all scheming at?
Split thread between attacking down with raids and not attacking with econ-raising attacks.

That's a reasonable result from a minicrit or otherwise high roll, yes.
It applies to each action independently, so twice.

Thanks. Out of curiosity, what would we have gotten if No had won the Blood vote?

Turn 6: Zorrotzen - "Sharpen"
As your people continued turning their focus inward, the rivers became sporadically violent in their flooding, making it hard to reliably gather grains from the fields sown on your periodic wanderings, but they were sometimes long enough apart (or the fields high up enough) that most seasons saw your people benefit from the seeds scattered the last time they had been in an area.
With the population of young men depleted, it became of the utmost priority to train those available to the height of their possible ability, using the best tools your band could craft. Some of the more skilled of these youths took to competing in games of skill, or to see who could bring in the largest kill, or (among those especially gifted with trapping) who could bring in the largest or most numerous animals alive. While it helped to sharpen their skills as warriors and hunters, it distracted them from being as productive as they otherwise might have been.
Dissuade these young prodigies, or encourage them?

Let's do this. We've got +2 Econ queued up for this turn from Intensify Cultivation and bonuses to raiding from Train Hunters. We've stacked the deck in our favour and are finally ready to show those farmers who really rules the indus river valley.

Jesus, those innovations. We're going to be swimming in mighty warriors.

We might as well go all out on martial heroes. Apparently we're still feeling the pain from our last raid, so we might as well spend the time using our newly upgraded hunting while we wait. Maybe we'll get a martial hero.

Even if we get a military genius spawned, our stupid government system means he/she might well get their face stabbed in a power challenge.
Past a certain point, knife fights are for the lucky more than the skilled.

We should go do some fishing in the future, maybe kill a fishing tribe and let their children do it.

Let's diversify our food sources. Also boats are useful in war too.
