If we just ignore them they won't declare war -> locked secondary on us immediately. It means that once they're done being busy with the lowlands they might though.
We can also take econ-costing actions to make sure that it's run down. Also, "the rains in recent years seemed less strong than they had been" makes me fear the Baby Boom is ending soon.
Also, with those clarifications I'll need to think some more, but initial thoughts are that my first analysis was correct- taking the small chance for success but eliminating the failure condition is worth it. I don't like it, but I think that it's best on average.

To clarify, can Written Code of Laws double a combined-province-action main action, or just a secondary action? Also, when it doubles the strength of an action, does that mean we spend main-action expenses to get main-action benefits, or that we spend secondary-action expenses to get main-action benefits? I'm assuming the former, but just to be sure?

@Academia Nut Generally, who actually can read currently and how are these people educated? Is it just the mystic class and artisans maybe? Do mystics serve an educational purpose for everyone or do they generally only teach themselves?

It was true, else you (and some others) would have hardly voted like that, the fact that people swichted after veekie came in even proved what I was saying
That you people took a step back, considered the arguements made and swichted to the option that made more sense for the problem at hand
Mind you there is nothing bad about chasing your personal pet project if the situation allows is
However that was not the case here and thus I felt to call out you & those who voted similar
Heck it wasn't even something personal & I only even adressed because Bungie singled you out & whether you like it or not you are among the more notable members here
Sorry if that offended you
True, but we currently have a free-for-all in the lowlands, so you can expect another LoO mid turn event happening next turn & considering that we will most likely be busy with other stuff & I'd really want to avoid failing to meet the Stab requirements due to a mid turn event, therefore I would really prefer for our provinces to focus their action on keeping our stability high in spite of whatever mid turn events that are thrown in our face

It will generally try to upgrade a Secondary to a Main, but depending on what is happening it could upgrade a Main to a double Main. And yes, the price is paid at Main cost for Main benefit.
Most of the shamans, pretty much all of the admins because their job is entirely reading, and a few of the chiefs. Beyond that it is a very random scattering. You maybe have a 5% literacy rate.

What do our IC advisors think is the best way to promote literacy?
Looks like Shamans are the way to go. ST, here we come.
Other than that....
Do we currently have an action to get more admins?

It's not 'chasing a shiny' when you vote for an option you think will help the current situation.
'Chasing the shiny' would be me voting for Expansion, because that probably gets us more forests.

More shamans maybe? You'd need a lot more though, like, they don't even know how to feed them all more.
Gotcha. So it just doubles growth. Hmm...overall it seems we might mechanically be advantaged in cycling between Expansion and Policies that can rapidly burn Economy, so basically we go from high Economy, churn it into infrastructure with acceleration, then switch back to the economy engine....
Ah, psychological inertia...man he'd make a great king once we solve the tax problem so he has living proof that his daddy was wrong.
Beautiful. Now we just need to hope we got the amount of literacy right.
Also seconding this question.

Same with the father - the chance of having a hero (even a Heroic Admin as king is too good to pass up).

Hmm, interesting that the chiefs don't consider being able to read records for themselves as a vital job skill. So the admins work heavily on the trust system with the chief.
Hmmm
HMMMM
*Contemplates Double/Triple Main Holy Site from Policy*
That's pretty worrying. :/
Do we even have the econ to push the large scale expand holy sites plan?

Why can't we use diplomacy to solve our crisis? If we talked to the guy and worked with him we might be able to fix things.
[X] Work with Patryn to solve the crisis.

We would be left at zero econ, without a provincial action that raises econ.

Why are people so adamant about not having the Stallions as heirs? Is it due to the belief that they will somehow "wreck" our solution to the Economic Crisis?
