Our provinces are mostly empty, but that is irrelevant to population density of the villages. We have been voting for hunting/fishing, both of which result in increased population density(compared to farming).
Raids, which were a constant risk during the long war, would have resulted in people (re-)building their homes smaller and closer together. The closer your neighbour, the quicker he or you could come to aid the other against raiders.
The settlements are surrounded by vast amounts of uninhabited and unutilized land.But overall, I would expect that (for our technology) our villages are densely populated.

You did in the first. One semi-successful big raid on Sunrise Bay to kick things off and then over the course of the fighting, one failed big raid on Greenbay and several failed small raids on Sunrise Bay.
The second war had no attacks on Arthwyd territory.

So that whole bit about the plague, I was just dropping that as future heads up and didn't realise how it could be taken by mentioning it alongside the update not being out that night.
Basically this:
I did enjoy the panic and minor freak-outs by some posters.
Update should be out tonight.

Well, you are a QM.
We don't really have the econ to do so, though. Right now we have 4 temp econ refresh, as well as +1 temp econ/turn from golden age. Starting sunrise mountain passage essentially locks us into doing just sunrise mountain passage for an unknown number of turns; we don't have the econ to do other, more tangibly beneficial things simultaneously. So that means no settlements, no venerate, whatever until sunrise mountain passage completes.
Much more efficient to first take advantage of the golden age to build settlements to increase our econ, then do the passage simultaneously with other things. The alternative is falling behind other, possibly hostile civs on things like economy/population as we concentrate solely on sunrise mountain passage.

How is this a problem? Building stuff takes time.
This is known. I am a-okay with taking time to build stuff. We aren't going to fall behind other civilizations, because we have a vassal that we can call on to help us out.

"So we just place the uneaten food in the pot?" asks Baryk as he looks at pot in question as Seryn shows to him.
"Yes," answers Seryn, "The uneaten food goes in the pot and if left to rot. We could use normal food as well, but that is a waste of perfectly eatable food. By using food that would go uneaten, we are instead able to reduce waste. This serves the goddesses as we are able to make fuller use of our resources as per the wisdom that Arthryn gave to us back when she walked among us."
While she was the one to discovery this, this new method isn't exactly Seryn's invention. It was something that some of the Arthwyd had already been doing without meaning to or realising what they were doing.
Working as a farmer in her youth, Seryn noticed that some of the fields were growing better than others and those same fields happened to be the ones where people would leave uneaten food.
It took several seasons of experimentation including a few winters, but Seryn was able to figure out that if you stored food in a pot or another container, it would turn to soil in time, soil which could be lain over other soil to make it better for farming.
Taking her findings to the priests, it was easy enough for Seryn to prove her findings even if took time. Praising her wisdom, the priests began to implement her new discovery and decided that since she showed such intelligence, Seryn would better serve the People as a priest than as a farmer.
While it wasn't something that Seryn particularly desired, becoming a priestess wasn't an unwelcome prospect. While it had more spiritual labour and trying leadership, it lacked the sheer hard work of a farmer and Seryn was more than happy to serve the goddesses.
It was also a good time to be a member of the People, especially if you belonged to the Arthwyd. The peace had seen lasted for generations now and under the guidance of the goddesses, the People were seeing new discoveries and prosperity.
It is a good time to be a member of the Arthwyd.

Seryn is a Mystic/Tech Hero and once again another female Hero. I find out how many female Heroes that the People have gotten as for each one, I roll a D6 for their gender with odd numbers equalling female and even numbers equalling male. Yet every one of your heroes has been female apart from Arth and even then, he sort of ended up female like everyone else. I also find interesting that just as you started your golden age, you got a double hero to go along with it.
Incidentally, you have rolled up about half of the heroes in the game so far and stolen enough of the others to have ended up with a grand half of all of the heroes in history so far.
In other news, you got an innovation from your farming action and got basic fertiliser out of it. You also have a series of good and expensive options to choose from.

The Merntir will do their own thing. They aren't just about to abandon their own interests for those of the Arthwyd.

You currently have three Values. Gaining a Value will get you a fourth Value while upgrading a Value will let upgrade one of the three you already have.
Ohh... that is totally different than what I thought you were talking about. Alright cool. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

I feel like this is the most impactful for our playstyle.
We lean pretty heavily on the fact that we're a theocracy and have access to a lot of divine intervention, so I feel that further increasing that access will bring the greatest benefit.
