Really really disappointing how little diplomacy is getting the love. That's one of the few things that's really the prerogative of our Haddyth now, and in a time when the Sketch are playing with coalitions, conditional allies, and brinkmanship we've got to shore things up some more.
Would a DO to Behryvar or Kielmyr, or even the Ochruhr to see about hashing out a backroom deal be too much to ask for? Instead at best I'm seeing a purely reactive attitude.
Funny you should mention that as I was in the middle of creating such a plan
[] International Politics
-[] Diplomatic Outreach - 1 PW: -1 Temp SoL, +2 Temp Trust - Kielmyr
-[] Diplomatic Outreach - 1 PW: -1 Temp SoL, +2 Temp Trust - Behryvar
-[] Trans-Kyberi Railway - 1 PW, -4 Temp Army, +1 Max Development, (4 more uses to remove Undeveloped Hinterlands status, 0/30 Actions to Completion) (0 PW for the first use a turn)
-[] Build Political Support - 1 PW + Happiness >7: +2 PW
-[] Build Political Support - 1 PW + Happiness >7: +2 PW
-[] Build Political Support - 1 PW + Happiness >7: +2 PW
-[] Promote Trade - 1 PW: -3 Temp Trust, +2 Temp SoL (Max [Navies] usage per turn) - Hung
This plan does the outreach and focuses more on preparing for the midturn.
We keep an eye on our borders and look for mischief that Sketch may try.
Now, this plan does not build the railway companies right away, but it does build up on Political Will and combine that with the full 12 temp IC and 6 temp Army. There is a whole lot the Political Parties can do with that. It also allows us to be a little less efficient with our Political Will and start supporting the Lower House Parties.
Pollution calculation on this is very wrong. Comes out to 3(10), not 3(4).
