I am pretty sure that the Stallion Tribe will be able to build the canal once they're big enough.

If you're worried about cultural divergence, build more trails, give them extra support, build them something, etc.
That will not be good enough remember the first stallions were primarily composed of nomads not the Ymaryn so even then they were different from us better to integrate them now than if they are already declaring independence.

That's sort of the issue. They're becoming big enough that they're starting to think, "Why do we listen and give resources to the southerners? We would be way better off on our own."

If the Stallion Tribes ever become big enough to start building their own megaprojects then they've become big enough to become an independent power.

Trails unfortunately give a big Centralization boost, and we're already pushing it. It's a bit unfortunate, really, that we can't improve our roads without destroying our government. Maybe the narrative is that there are lots of people who would take advantage of the roads to swamp the king with their problems?

I think the vote to send military support this turn is now winning.

We can build them things, but most of the megaprojects we're planning don't really belong there. The Grand Docks, the Dam, the Palace.

It occurs to me that this means if we play it all out reasonably well, historians are going to go "The Ymaryn are boring as shit, there isn't anything cool to talk about since they all handle things so goddamn peacefully! Ooh, I know! Let's write an expose about how actually it was all a thieving den of backstabbers, ignoring the fact that it was actually quite subdued compared to all the backstabbing elsewhere, because the only other option is talking about their goddamn tax records!"
Or
"We could talk about Ymaryn tax records or some love affair that the Ymaryn clearly didn't care about overmuch, or we could talk about the bloodbath in the Lowlands! Let's talk about the Lowlands bloodbath."
Or
"There is no fucking way these so-called Ymaryn never had a civil war. That's bullshit, your government is bullshit, these historical records are bullshit, it's all faked, and in conclusion, go fuck yourself. Signed, Xohyrissian School of History"
"But their Gods are surprisingly argumentative, often fighting over the things such as the creation of Vineyards or Boats. Some believe that this is actually political commentary expressed in such a way that the artisans and clergy would not receive backlash for."

"I once had to put together a huge vase that only boasted about how much better the Ymaryn were than everyone else, but done in the point of view of outsiders. It was maybe the most pretentious and self masturbatory thing I've ever been made to translate."

*Looks at my two negaverse omakes* ...In my defense, i made fun of that trend with the recursive one <.< >.>

...It still counts if i do so by way of making the Dead Priest players be super bad about it, right? : V
 
Yes and no, respectively. I'm not saying they're the same or even close, but it would still be interesting to me to hear the particulars.
What about Cosmopolitan Acceptance? Did the USSR have an open-border policy, accepting all refugees?

I don't know anything about its policies and procedures for electing leaders. I will note that as far as we're aware, no Ymaryn king has used force, blackmail, or intrigue in choosing an heir; rather, they simply educate their children to a high standard.

And then there's the forests.

Can you link? They are not thread marked.
They're on the front page along with most other non-threadmarked omakes:

The "Really silly things" category is my recursive one :p
A couple updates ago someone found like 4 other silly omakes that weren't on there, but it looks like AN missed their post, and i dont remember who it was...

Unless Rulwyna somehow found necromancy to stay alive, I don't think we have her assistance :p
Behold the real reason why her son supports the God of the Underworld!

That would be...problematic when the King doesn't fit neatly into a box somewhere.
I think that's the time you'd pick someone with a broad portfolio like Gwy or possiby Gygowyn (since she's invoked for childbirth you could argue that she has a role similar to a God).
 
I like how our Smithy God is also the God of the Underworld, nicely ties back to when the Metal Workers dug too deep. Is the hole still on fire even now? Like that one place where the spiders curl up to sleep.
 
I mean, AN confirmed that it would cause problems in that case:
Yeah, of course it would lead to problems when you insinuate that this God who has never been depicted as either a King or a Leader is suddenly going to be King of the Gods. That's kinda like making a really good mathmatician leader despite them only being that.

But it is a possible solution to the problem of the King not fitting into a particular box.
 
I just want one action for the mega project. If we do as above i will not have enough secondaries for my other choices
That's fine, but I meant that you need to change the wording of your vote, or it will be counted separately (ie it basically won't count). You've written it as:

[Main] Megaproject-Sacred Forest Renewal
but it needs to be
[Main]Sacred Forest Renewal
