I believe folk are a bit wary of giving the EIC a military. They've already got a monopoly and despite our control this might promote a rather dangerous corporate culture of rattling sheaths at competitors in order to have their will done.

Not just that. The guy had a room of his house full of letters accusing him of scamming people. And this was a time in which you had to pay someone to carve a letter onto a rock. He was the first dishonest merchant known to history.

I want to use the EIC as an intel network, not to fix all the problems related to trade. Let the dwarves figure something out with gyrocopter patrols and river gunboats; fighting piracy isn't our priority.

No need to trade. They are books copies can be made.
Also making that automatically updating MAPP.
I wonder if the We mind their meat being cooked?
Its as already explained many times before, not a military. More like armed escorts. Right @BoneyM ?
Could you help elaborate on whats the shipping escort situation like before and after the action?
Thanks!
Now to somehow pull that off from the AP hell, but I suppose we do have a few years IC before they go melty.

Hmm. True true. Could hire a magister for 5 favour and let her wander off for 6 months to really get into it.
Surely she's had plenty of time to accrue a pool of favors by writing handfuls of earthshattering papers in between staving off an eco-system crumbling! Right? Right!?Fair point though yeah haha.
That would be their day-to-day, yeah.
Before: personal arms and prayer.
After: river monitors and marines.
One could argue they should, and one could argue that the Tileans should inherit that of Tylos.

We do deserve to exist.
The wealth is nothing short of amazing, but it looks like the Undumgi pikes and Runic Hammers are all the runic gear Karak Eight Peaks has. So I'll not be seeing my dreams of all of Clan Huzkul armed with runeweapons.
On the bright side, the "hire every mercenary this side of Cathay" plan Belegar had back when we were planning out the first stage of the reclamation of Eight Peaks just became a perfectly valid option. And there's still 6,000 more silversteel pikes available for if/when the Undumgi expand their ranks.

Since the melting won't happen until the Okral leave, can we expect this to remain an option for the next six turns or so?

I think the Dwarfs would only have a slightly higher opinion of the Strigany than they would of the Strigoi.
Also, they're a bitch to find.

We didn't take Polyglot, so I remain steadfast in my opinion that the marginal gain of learning spoken Queekish is very much not worth the AP invested into learning it and then subsequently teaching it to others, and will be voting for no plans that involve it.

Theoretically, if we drop a research action before the six turns time limit is up, there may be a way to squeeze this in. Or AV becomes our job, alternatively speaking, which would almost ensure that we should be able to shake an AP loose.
It does, however, highlight the Research vs Preservation Dilemna though posed by the Great Library and Research Institute issue, and quite possibly a preview of what it concretely means to dilute the resources of that Boon over these two distinct if related activities, if an institution vote passes.
Also, I'm definitely going to vote for this:
[ ] Plan Dictionaries now, powerstones for AV stuff and jazz
I foresee that there will be very many uses for Power Stones beyond AV. Judging by the Eye of Gazul, I suspect this is a very foundational class to take for any of our intellectual ambitions or grand magitek infrastructure projects on the level of Eye of Gazul we might embark on in the future (and I think we would almost certainly embark on them!). We are going to need this sooner or later, so we might as well do something as fundamental as powerstones now, before AP crunch starts stacking up as this new arc progresses. Remember, the sun relocating function of our Tower of Gazul runs on powerstones, so it sounds like a very good idea to learn more about making powerstones given the centrality of this weapon to Karak security.

Will the We be an option for Social Turns in the future?
To be fair, even Mathilde was just along for the ride for a good chunk of that.
Will we need to do this action this turn if we want it all, or will it still be available for a while?
It will be available until the smelting in seven turns.

Max is good at writing papers. he can help clear the backlog.
The breathing apparatus could help save lives. both in mining, war, and other applications where air quality is either poor or non-existent.
Johann has been a great help to us. we spent a few actions helping max hunt from a gyro. let's help Johann out now. besides, it will probably make future research easier.
there aren't really any bad options offered for the EIC. Auditors will help make sure we don't lose money.
free paper. it's fresh so we get a bonus to it.
a gyropad. who wouldn't want a gyropad... but really I don't care that much. it can change if a better option with a reason it's better comes along.
A prisoner that isn't trying to escape is a lot easier to control and farther manipulate.
learning to better use our sword. it needs to happen.
snek research. pushing it forwards.
Wolf is best puppers. why wouldn't we want best puppers to talk back?
