For the King of the People, the news that the nomads north had been somewhat mollified with tribute, but had obvious intentions on the Metal Workers and the territory around them, was of course a mixed bag.

Nomad + Iron = ?

Academia Nut said:
The Law (Iron Age) - With new technologies, innovations, and social structures, old laws require a thorough redo in order to align with modern expectations (3-4? action commitment, -2 Mysticism and -2 Tech per action)

We want more points in tech - 1 more to ensure we've enough for the Law, more 'cause there's a fair number of actions we'll want to take that use it.

I'm thinking of a Main Build Theater.

A shared common culture may be another thing to tie the People together.

pblur · Jul 23, 2017

@Academia Nut What does "+3 Diplo if have boats" mean for Hemp?

Somebodynobody10 · Jul 23, 2017

So if we take the passive policy that gives us +1 tech a turn, would that give us enough to one-turn law?

gutza1 · Jul 23, 2017

Hmm, Build Theater looks nice, but I think we should aim for starting The Law and getting a Golden Age.

[X][Main] The Law (Iron Age)

[X][Secondary] Enforce Justice

This will ensure that our stability reaches 3, and will increase our centralization.

No? That was us riding horses while the nomad was on a chariot.

You are right. They'll still get Iron though, unless we backstab them right after making a deal. The Metal-Workers are in no shape to tank a Waaagh. Their experts will be captured and taken into the steppes.

Please use [] instead of (). It messes with the tally.

Quick, turn Greenshore into a Colony and tell the Metal Workers to join it! Then the Nomads won't be able to attack them.

I mean, they said they wouldn't.

And they would totally accept this scheme.

Because they are nice people.

We should do exactly one of the following:
[X] [Secondary] Proclaim glory
[X] [Secondary] Enforce Justice
Or if we're feeling arrogant...
[X] [Secondary] Great Dam
[X] [Secondary] Great Dam x2

(Dam gives stability on completion)

edit: forgot to include the free choices
Either of these are good passive policies
[X] [Free] Change Passive Policy - Infrastructure (+1 Free Progress to an infrastructure project (Aqueduct, governor's palace, saltern, etc.)/turn)
[X] [Free] Change Passive Policy - Defence (+1 significant walls/turn)

[X] [Free] Found Colony - Change Greenshore Trading Post to a Colony

Won't that let Sacred Forest pop, since we currently have 14 EE?

pblur · Jul 23, 2017

@Academia Nut Is there ANY action we can take now to militarily support the Metal Workers? Can we move the Red Banner there?

Dark as Silver · Jul 23, 2017

Well, when you said you'd need to think I wasn't expecting this so soon @Academia Nut mind sharing what the rolls were that you found so interesting?

Stone Age Canal
The People cut an artificial river in the hills without the use of metal. Not only does this improve the internal economy and trade, but as long as its memory remains it will be a source of pride in collective labour. Whenever the People complete a major engineering project, they also gain Art and Mysticism.

So, this is in need of an update. Did it obsolete, or are we getting Mysticism and Tech out of it? Mysticism and Culture?

Do we really need to? I mean, they have a very defensible position and now they have iron. They might be able to fight off the nomads themselves. If not, we could launch an attack later.

If we form a new military company, we could probably rent it out to the Metal Workers. Maybe.
