Not really but we'd need:
Yeah, but golden age is at least 2 turns away(this turn to GET to max stability, then we have to hold max stability for a turn before GA triggers) and situations may change in that time. Right now we have relative peace with no wars on, so it's a perfect time to get them integrated, while if we wait 2 turns we might miss our chance.
I can see mercenaries being justified narratively as a preventative measure, since the Ymaryn heard of the Armies of the Trelli, and want to ensure that their far-flung territories remain safe. It could also be seen as a semi-migratory garrison, in that the Prestigious Red Banner would be more useful at home in case the Lowlands begin agitating or a Nomad Horde begins to form, so the Ymaryn can send a sort of relief garrison to watch the burgeoning trade post so that the Red Banner can be available for more pressing matters.
Everything turned out better than expected. They are expanding towards us, which is a worry, however.
exactly. We pretty much have to set up another trade post (north) and support it with a merc company and extra support subordinate actions in order to drop our martial far enough.
...........uhhh, that boosts our cent TOO much, and might put us in the red. Also, is that an actual vote or a joke vote? I hate asking but some people make extreme votes like that just to be funny, and it's hard to tell sometimes.
