One of the options is missing,
I cant find sunrise plains!
 
It might also be shifting to always pick the girls.

It's not like the GM is being subtle about the possibility.

"Perhaps that is wrong," replies Brys, "Maybe that should be changed. Fighting is a man's job, but ruling is a woman's job. You said it yourself earlier. Everyone knows that looking like one of the goddesses is a sign of their favour. The women of my family have the most divine figures due to our divine bloodline. Perhaps that is a sign that it is they who should lead."

Will probably be a bit of a succession crisis down the line with Brys being not interested in girls. Unless the double think of the royal family triumphs the freedom of choice thing the rest of the people got.

As long as the rest of the family stays alive, we should be fine. It'll just go to the next eldest sibling on his death.
 
It might be a Matriarchy or it might be Tanistry or Brys might failed to convince them with his bad diplo score or it might be another possibility that no one has mentioned yet. It also doesn't take into account how other outside actions and factors could influence the outcome.

If it was just going to lead to Matriarchy automatically, then I would put in the vote or just Government Type change and not put Chance of Government Type change.

Another impact of the Blessing of Arthryn on how gender is viewed by the Arthwyd is due to be a combination of it mixing with the lack of Arthwyd sexual taboos. The lack of sexual taboos by the Arthwyd has resulted in their society being very sexually open and sex is considered a casual pastime and lewd references and remarks are rife in Arthwydish society. Due to the blessing and the Arthwydish beliefs on attractiveness making almost every Arthwydish woman beautiful while men are still hit and miss when it comes to physical attractiveness, the end result is that the women are a lot more sexualised than the men. Since is due to the fact that the women are consistently beautiful and it is easier to reference their beauty in casual conversation whilst men are more varied in how handsome or ugly they are and you cannot reliable reference their good looks.

Well, this annoys me and I cannot even begin to understand why. Maybe because it makes sense and me being gay, and me, makes me have a problem with that.

I dont have anything agaisnt female sexualization, and in fact I quite enjoyed the scene where Bronwyn mother seduced her father.

I also don't think you were trying to objetify the women by only describing their firgures; in fact, given what you wrote about the arthwyd it makes some sense their women would describe those details about themselves; is just... repetitive, from a narrative point of view, for example, given that we know all arthwyd women have slim waists, mentioning it just becomes empty space.

Off Topic: Where can I get a full explanation of the mechanic of these types of quest? I'm curious about what everything does, what does having higher lower centralization means for the quest, things like that.

For what I've read these quest were based on one called Path of Civilization, or something? was the autor of it the one who created this mechanic? where can I read it?

True enough, but I don't feel the risk to be worth it honestly.

We are overclocked on stab so we might as well.

YOLO. We won't get a lot of chances for change, and this will only get worse over time. We're going to have to gamble a bit here.

Shouldn't we work on getting palisades, and temples, to all our settlements before we work on the Sacred Forest? We also have the elders threat of creating a crisis, or something, if they don't see more settlement actions in the coming turns.
Basically, what I'm thinking is that expanding Greenbay, if I understand what's where properly, might start to push us towards the Walking Dead. In which case we might want the Sacred Forest for purifying actions.
Of course that said, the palisades aren't a bad idea either, and I'm...Not 100% sure what Temples might do narratively to help that front beyond a vague 'more worship=bigger/better Goddesses'...
 
@Oshha
not an exhaustive list of things that I found that were wrong but what I got to.
While his grandson when south to court the rising stars of the Maradysh, Cadlon Edwyn focused on defusing the situation to the north. It was bad, but not so bad as to be salvageable yet.
grandson went south, as to be unsalvageable yet

Oh, it was a bad situation by any standard, but it was migrated by the general distaste and uneasiness towards the idea of fighting other members of the People.
but it was mitigated

The possibility of the People engaging in such barbaric behaviour should be avoided if at all possible and with the full support of the Catclaws and Cateyes, Cadlon Edwyn attempt to bring about a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis in the north.
attempted to bring about


While the unasked for support from the Arthwyd left the Vynadians outraged, the reminders from the priestesses about the teachings of Arthryn and her Daughters were enough to remind the Merntir about the barbaric wrongness of the People turning each other.
turning on each other

From there, the goddesses smiled upon Cadlon Edwyn for despite the situation he had to deal, things went his way from then on.
had to deal with, things

Despite the unconventional offer by Maradysh standards, both twins had leaped at the chance to wed Darvyd while Edwyn's grandson founded himself charmed by his new wives for while they lacked the beauty of your average Arthwydish woman, both of them have the personalities to more than make up for it.
grandson found himself

A similar fate might have befallen the Anti-Vynadians without a strong mutual foe to hold their various faction together
various factions together

By this point that Darvyd and his wives arrived amongst the Merntir to help out resolve the situation
to help resolve

it had gone from be a close balance of power between the Vynadians and the Anti-Vynadians to being firmly in the favour of the Vynadians.
brom being a close balance of power

For the blessed women, their large chests had always been of a burden even as they were valued by the People
always been a burden

. The change was a limited ability to the blessed to alter their physical form.
abilitiy of the blessed

Those that need raw strength like farmers and warriors could gain it while those that required more agility builds such as hunters and fishers change that figure towards that.
required more agile builds, change their figures towards that

more children live long enough to become of age and the people have longer lifespans than their barbarian neighbours.
enough to come of age

This has been a boon as it means their settlements have always been larger and more people living in them, but now it is something of a problem.
and had more people

Martial aspects aren't the only area that Gwyn is better than him.
than him at

You're going to want this ruleset. Trust me, the original Paths of Civilizations was AN being such a godlike QM that he could just create the ruleset on the fly, and even that eventually collapsed when the engine of the economy got way out of control.
