Given how badly insufficient our current level of warships is as we don't have enough in any locals, I refuse to not build warships when we can. Given that the investigation is a single turn action, I am willing to drop one of the bombard actions to double-down on it, but since it does look like the Berba one got cut off a bit at the end, I am waiting to see if that action upsets anyone before I decided which one to drop.

I had meant it to only be missing a bracket, but there is a chance of it pissing off the Khem, now that I think about it.

I'll update my plan after I had dinner then.
On the other hand I do really like selling to the Germanian minors. They are on the other side of Stymyr and there has been hostility in the past. While there is a truce for now I like they idea of Stymyr asking itself how weak they can really afford to let their army become trying to pick at our line of battle, what with the potential for two gunpowder armed nations on ether side of it, friendly enough with one another and potentially willing to crush it between them.

We do deserve to exist.
Man, selling powerful and destructive gunpowder weapons to other nations to use on their rivals sure is hard to do without angering someone. Who'd have thunk?
On another note, it's been a while, but were we ever thinking about forming a third Banner Company? And if so, what would its formation be?

I think ether another formation of pike and shot to counter light and heavy calv, or a formation of light calv to fill that hole in our formation.
Though I do so want to create a counterpart to the Guns of Ohman from history, basically a bombard heavy infantry formation designed to hold ground and level things in range. Recruit it out of the merchant/craftsman class who have the education to do things like solid logistics but also the lack of need for personal glory that demands they charge into battle. I would love a dedicated army of siege breakers that has all our enemies deeply worried that we can crush our way through any fixed defenses and force them out into the field where our heavy calv and pikes and shot will pick them apart.

Yes, we really should take care whom we do and do not sell weapons.
This said, it is very lucrative and we do need the money.
I do think we should go on the offensive with Styrmyr...
Also, we maybe want to consider how to get ahold of the improved steel tech from Kus.

It's not a tech. It's a mine with unusual ore.

Updated my plan to drop selling guns to Berba in exchange for doubling down on the investigation.
We want to aim for the action to complete in 1616 to avoid paying that -0.5 income as much as we can so we would want to get started on a third Banner Company in 1613. I'm not sure what its formation would be, but going by pattern recognition, it would be whatever Dafydd wants at the time.

We can't. The thread already voted not to conquer beyond Greenshore.

Ahhh, OK. Still worth getting ahold of an ore sample at some point to see if the guilds can work out how to make alloys that do the same as the Kus material. But that's more of a long term project since it'll be harder and it is less of an immediate threat to Ymaryn exports...
OK, I'd thought that was just for the last turn.
@Aranfan: so to change policy on Styrmyr we'd need to raise a bigger army?

The Kus do like us. I would not be opposed to a scholarly exchange where we get access to their scholars and they get access to ours. I bet their famine has their leadership interested in anything that could potentially improve their agriculture and Ymar are the world experts on how to farm good. I bet the recovery period of the famine would allow them to potentially transition to our more collective farming system, with our mass production and mass use of black soil.
It would be a long time until they are black soil down to bedrock like the Ymaryn heartland seems to be, but prosperity is planting trees you will never rest in the shade of.

First of all, it is truly a blessed day to see updates
Second, do we have a clear line of succession right now?? Because if not, we gotta get on it, and if so, the heir had better be somewhere outside Valleyhome so no single attack can get both king and heir

The Governor of Hathytta is our heir to shore up support from over there.
Well whoever plotted the assassination attempt certainly won't be...having a blast when we catch them.
But it's kinda worrying that someone was able to get enough black powder together to build a bomb.

Not really. Many powers in the world produce gunpowder on their own. It isn't something that rare that is hard to get a hold of nor are we the only source of it. Now, it could be a foreign government supplying the gunpowder or an influential or well-placed traitor in our government, but gunpowder isn't some secret that is closely guarded with restricted access to. At least not as far as I am aware. I'm not sure how closely the Ymaryn guard their gunpowder or strictly they limit access to it or how big of a fuss they put into handling foreign gunpowder being brought into their lands.
It could as simply as getting in another land, bribing some guards at the port, bribing some more guards to get into Valleyhome and then sneaking it into position.
