[X] [Wonder] Library
-[X] [Wonder] Valleyhome

The north might be kind of pissed about not getting infrastructure, but having a library in our capitol can only be good for us. I'm expecting some kind of admin and science bonus, which might help in the short term with our admin issues, and in the long term (science can still be done, even in a dire emergency)

[X] [RB] East, go through the lowlands into the hills

[X] [Main] War Mission - Highlanders

Pincer attack? Pincer attack! The Death of Xohyr comes for you, backstabbers!

[X] [Secondary] New Trails
[X] [Secondary] New Trails x2

If I'm not mistaken, we wanted to start working on roads and such, right? This will put our Centralization back up to 5, which will give us 2 Cent for midturn actions if we want to keep it at 3-ish Cent overall, the place that's safest right now according to WOG.

EDIT: Except combining Secondaries gives us a Main, and 1 Main New Trails is only +1 Centralization. That's 1 Cent for midturn actions, so hopefully nothing we care about explodes.

This sets us up for more trails next turn as well.

That's a very good point, and I'd consider it more important than a secondary expand forests.

Recall that, to build Libraries in places, they either need to be True Cities or have a Temple. Plan on how we're going to get the infrastructure to keep our Wonder accordingly.

If we double Main Trails, we should give the Temple to the North. That was a big part of their wishlist.

And it should synergize a bit as new pilgrimage routes being opened to the amazing new temple.

We need to build the palace before we make them less dependent on the South, that includes the temple.

I'll note we're currently Dominant in Pilgrimage.

@Academia Nut

Can we designate location of trails to focus on northern areas?

Done

...you have it on defense though

@Academia Nut Can our Provinces choose the Terrify option on Offense?

What you're doing is combining two New Trails so that we end up with 1 Main Trails, giving us 1 Centralisation, not 2.

Ehh I'll think about the forest and the red banner. Not sure if I want to do the above or a DL. Need to apply the thinkmeats!

Will our nomad hero be in charge of our next war mission @Academia Nut ?

I see, my mistake. That would leave us with a 1 Cent cushion for the midturn, then. Hopefully we can cope with that.

The pottery industry in Xohyr proper is gone, but I wonder how good the successor states are?

[X] [RB] Rest, restores strength

Let the RB rest and recover (and recruit at home). We don't want them to go crazy from all the fighting.

I'd love a temple in Blackriver or what it's called, but can't recall the name.

They're mercenaries. I think they'll be fine.

Additionally, the Expand Forest and Study Forest actions are now merged.

Does this mean the Progress policy will now expand our forests?

Sivantic · Jul 3, 2017

@Academia Nut just to be sure, the Northern Temple is already built right? No need for further action?

If so, is there a reason we don't hve a study bones action?

Sugnez · Jul 3, 2017

Holy shit, that's awesome. Phy-kun just invented siege weaponry. Sorry Xoh!

[X] [Wonder] Temple

Let's hook up the north with a proper temple, try and counter some of that North-South inequality. I could easily be convinced to change to any other Temple option.

[X] [RB] Rest, restores strength
Let's take a breather from the fight for awhile. Recuperation is important.

[X] [Main] New Trails
[X] [Main] New Trails x2
Let's take care of our most pressing issue first. Also gives us a Diplo buffer so we can potentially integrate a periphery state next turn.

Also, I would like to note that we now have access to ~~dinosaur~~totally-dragon bones. Which we can make part of our pilgrimages, AKA turn them into part of our religion. This is the definition of awesome.

I wonder how dragons fit into the Ymaryn cosmology, actually. Are they rare creatures occasionally pop up and cause damage? A race of mystical monsters that lived long ago and were eradicated by the heroes of old? Or just another category of spirits?

... Come to think of it:
Crows => Birds
Birds => Modern Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs => Dragons

Oh Goya, we're elves worshipping an Eldritch Three-headed Demon-God Dragon as one of our main deities. No wonder we have the option to Terrify others.

They are human. I want at least some frontline rotation normalized so our troops can also pass on their experience to new recruits while recovering from the trauma.

Nevermind them going native from recruiting in the lowlands and going rogue.

True City Burned, Civilization Killed, Wonder Smashed! +8 Prestige, +3 Wealth, extra influx of "refugees" gives +2 Econ, -2 Econ expansion, -1 Stability

And now the People have burned a city to the ground with tens of thousands still inside, and our King is only sad because he had to burn all the women of Xohyr instead of taking them as wives.

Ashryn would be proud.

The palace will have a Dragon Throne.

No if or buts.

There will be a Dragon Throne.

You have a free secondary for choosing to equal main projects.

Baby Killers is a hell of a casus belli.
