Actually, bombards can be used to shoot stones, like many other early firearms. We might have an advantage in the quality of projectiles, assuming we use iron balls rather than cheaper stones, but that won't prevent Hellas from using inferior projectiles. I think that the gunpowder is the limit because we introduced guns to Hellas, but only ever sold them the finished products. They don't know how to make guns or produce gunpowder. They will figure it out eventually, but we should have a decade or two before that and a decent advantage in the quality of the final product after it.

We don't actually know the gunpowder production capabilities of the Hellas League or other states. I remember asking Aranfan and the answer I got was roughly the Ymaryn mocking those silly barbarians for wasting gunpowder on weaponry instead of fireworks and a follow up question on my end confirmed that the Ymaryn don't know. I'm not sure if that has changed since then, but I suspect our lack of knowledge remains.
Could we use iron towers to get a height advantage. Haul up a cannon and shoot our enemies from up high. I think that confer us better range for our cannons.
We have the range for our cannons to reach the city?
We have the range for our cannons to reach the city?
Depends on the angle of elevation we can fire from. Early bombards had a range around 1600 meters with a 3 degree angle of elevation. That's about what you could get with a bombard on flat ground. Anything more than that and you slam the bombard into it's carriage at to high of an angle and damage it.
If you had time though, nothing was stopping you from building earth berms to place your bombard on a slope and fire along something closer to a 10-45 degree angle and get significantly more range. Because you put the carriage on a slope your bombard remains only tilted up the same 3 degrees.
+Hathytta loyalty. They see the force we moved through their lands and slammed into their enemies. It makes rebellions seem less fun.
And besides influence is nice, but +Hathytta loyalty leads to integration and integration leads to income via taxes.
Wasn't there two Lord Loyalty missions with two opportunities to receive loyalty from the Hathatyn? So it should be possible to receive two loyalty points from Hat-chan.
Also, I remembered Txolla rewarding us additional influence for great performance, but not loyalty.

So I've been wondering @Aranfan about what kind of room the Styrmyr being regarded as cousins gives to negotiations over control of Greenshore. Would a treaty where they acknowledge Melkut Ymaryn ownership of the land but remain the direct administrators either in a they're leasing it way or a William the Conqueror as Duke of Normandy is a vassal of the King of France while being the King of England way be acceptable to the Ymaryn?

Bedwyr rubbed his temples in consternation as he looked at the reports on his desk. He had dodged the worst of the Collapse, but the kingdom was still in danger. The guilds had papered it over, but the kingdom was spending much more than it was taking in. The state of the treasury was dire, and looked to become more so each year. By his best math, in five years the Kingdom would be out of money. The only way to prevent this would be to take Trelli, restore taxation across swaths of the kingdom, and get large infusions of cash from somewhere. And, of course, doing all that would be expensive in itself.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

These actions are what we need to do to expand our ability to get taxes. I suggest we pick one. I think the Wester Wall one is the most logical due to it being closest. I want to do all three in sequence around the north side of the sea. This will circle around and allow us to take on the Hellans if we remain stuck on our side of the channel for those years.
Western Wall > Green Shore > Tin Shore and then we reach the northwest of Hathytta and pincer the Hellans.

It would be a really good idea to have all of trelli in hand first. But you could try it?

Not really. Dafydd already has plenty of men. The main issue regarding Trelli is the naval imbalance.
Is he stalled for good or is he going to attempt to make crossing despite the imbalance in the coming year?

Since we will be down to 1/10 Treasury this turn, we can't take any expensive actions. I don't want to commit to any more wars while we are still trying to retake Trelli and after hearing the advice of our advisors, I want to wait until we get all of Trelli before trying to integrate Hathytha. Going for Authority on getting the Hills back so we can get some more money and better defences while another Authority is going towards fixing the Sacred Warding in Txolla.
The rest of the plan is diplomacy to both get more info and possible some allies against Hella. Authority on our historical friends and allies, the Khemetri as they are both rivals to the Hellas League and the strongest naval power on the Saffron Sea. With the Influence, we going to see what is going on in both the East and the North/North-West. I also want to look into Not!Italians to see if we can get any allies over there against the Hellas League. Finally, going for more relations for our king because he is a competent one who gives us an extra 2 Authority so I don't want to overstress him.
Thoughts or suggestions?

Since we will be down to 1/10 Treasury this turn, we can't take any expensive actions. I don't want to commit to any more wars while we are still trying to retake Trelli and after hearing the advice of our advisors, I want to wait until we get all of Trelli before trying to integrate Hathytha. Going for Authority on getting the Hills back so we can get some more money and better defences while another Authority is going towards fixing the Sacred Warding in Txolla.
The rest of the plan is diplomacy to both get more info and possible some allies against Hella. Authority on our historical friends and allies, the Khemetri as they are both rivals to the Hellas League and the strongest naval power on the Saffron Sea. With the Influence, we going to see what is going on in both the East and the North/North-West. I also want to look into Not!Italians to see if we can get any allies over there against the Hellas League. Finally, going for more relations for our king because he is a competent one who gives us an extra 2 Authority so I don't want to overstress him.
Thoughts or suggestions?
So wait, we have
Naval Status (Yllthon Mor): Anemic
Naval Status (Salt Sea): Weak
Naval Status (Monsoon Sea): Weak
The salt see is the inland sea to our East right?
Don't we have a canal connection between there and the Yllthon Mor, where we need navy?
Is it possible to direct our Salt Sea navy to sail up the river and join up with our Yllthon Mor navy to end up with an average Yllthon Mor navy and a non-existent Salt Sea navy? I would think it would be an undertaking, but we could tow them with draft animals and gallons are not deep drafted boats.

I don't believe that we do. I don't remember that happening in PoC though it might have happened in PoI or some point later in the Lighting Rounds.
