Luckily the Metal Workers don't have bronze yet, maybe brass but that's not good for weapons.
Considering those losses would have been an order of a magnitude worse without our march, and the fact that this was an outright devastating blow to the local nomads, 10 martial was pretty cheap.
It's the logistical strain in supporting the administration and supply of a march to the North West.

Gromed Trails are the more advanced idea where people actually maintain the roads and prevent floods from washing them out/plants from overgrowing them instead of just letting people walk them into existence. Much higher quality, and handles higher amounts of traffic without degeneration
Actually no, bad idea at present. The main reason we have a military advantage is...nobody knows we have an advantage. They don't realize they need to catch up to us yet.
Very nearly yeah. We were literally 2 Stability short...2 Stability that they ate.Theunderbolt, I am massively offended by your slander!
We never did try to push a semi modern tax system on a Bronze Age Civ!
We tried to push it on a Stone Age civ!
Do get your facts straight, man!
...we nearly pulled it off too.
If there weren't these damned kids and their meddling stallion...
Actually, we need Balanced because it's the only thing that'd allow us to do a Study Metal/Study Tailings/Study Health combo while still covering other stuff, and keeping Econ afloat.
It's not really a code. Aphasia is more of figuring out how to talk to someone whose language centers got scrambled and using random related words rather than what they actually meant to say, so it takes some creativity and free association to get across.
They're bigger than that though. Currently their minor border province is having a slapfight with our minor border province.
The beginnings of the Iron Age was pretty murky as it is. Plus we are still destroying all the non-tax based archeological evidence systematically to make fertilizer
Considering it borders both the sea and one of our provinces, it shouldn't be that bad to keep it supplied. If we made another march further west, we might have problems, but since literally nobody has suggested such a march...
As in our redhill province isn't even walled...wall them first THEN expand.
Hmmm...
You know, it specifically states in the Build Wall action description that Redhills is heavily walled.
Uh, the Great Wall's purpose was less to STOP them, and more to make sure that whatever forces manage to get through are small, fast groups, which gives time for the levies to be called up to smoosh them locally. Larger groups be stalled and then hammered
Can't steal our ironworking. Our smelters and smiths are in Redshore(and now, Redhill), they only hit Northshore, so they might have seen the Saltern and passed the idea on to other coastal groups.
It's what the issue is believed to be *shrug*.
What I meant almost exactly.
On the iron thing *shrug*. If they have it well shit. If not, which is what I expect, since we did not have it in high density spread until we opened the mine which we did as we chased them off then it is not going to be a problem for a while.
Eh, the northern provinces weren't involved in ironworking at all though, as far as I can tell. We didn't even have large scale iron working set up at that point, and the northern provinces weren't as developed as the south. We should probably still plan for them getting iron, but I don't think that was a guarantee.
Except they're also passively catching up. I'm not sure that our rate of nonaggressive progress outstrips their progress without our impetus, and if that's the case then we need to move fast. That being said, getting default walls will be huge and I'm willing to wait until we have default walls or until someone else gets an all bronze elite unit, in which case I will push hard for expansion while we still can.
The iron furnaces are well above, actually. Only need 900 oC. Salt glaze isn't melted salt, its a reaction between the salt and (I think) either the silicates or the metals in the clay. The process sounds pretty polluting though. It died out in the late 1800's because of the resulting air pollution.
Ayup.
@veekie too.
I was planning to use the aphasia as a launching spot for someone to come up with codes for battle leading to the flag code for battle.It's not really a code. Aphasia is more of figuring out how to talk to someone whose language centers got scrambled and using random related words rather than what they actually meant to say, so it takes some creativity and free association to get across.
Oooooooohhhh. I thought it said Groomed Tails - like, horse tails. I was struggling to work out why this was a big enough deal to deserve an entire technology.
We don't really get to make those kinds of decisions - we didn't get any kind of "codes" tech, and we don't have a library, so the idea is lost due to lack of reason to keep it around.
Well it's not totally lost, we still have hospice care so more chariot drivers with aphasia will be treated in those buildings. Gotta build the Library though to record the idea outside of a few shamans heads.
