There's not really a push for the theater.

Oh well, next time.

[X] [Main] The Law (Iron Age)
[X] [Secondary] Proclaim Glory
[X] [Secondary] Support Artisans

By the way, I'm not seeing the free action, where are they?

The Red Banner and Defense Policy are accepted write ins by Word of AN. The Greenshore one is in the action list under found colony.
 
Do you all know what the best thing about spending martial? Something I had completely given up hope on?

We can afford to do double Blackbirds. Heck, we can afford to do all the things that give us military tech! But blackbirds, if there is anything that is likely to give us ninjas and an intrigue stat, it is making tons of blackbirds!

It's not the time for this, but it's possible, and I am so happy!
 
Swapping to Boats for Tech. We have an explicit bonus to boat innovations right now, and we're about to finish a really excellent design. AN has never given any dire warnings about popping True Cities; as far as we can tell it will mostly be a nonissue.

[X] [Main] The Law (Iron Age)
[X] [Secondary] More Boats
[X] [Secondary] Proclaim Glory

Secondaries because we need Tech for the Law and Stability for Golden Age.

We may be able to help contain the flow of Iron by settling the north shore of the black sea.
[X] [Free] Convert Greenshore to colony
[X] [Free] Change Passive Policy - Defence (+1 significant walls/turn)

Infrastructure does 1/3 of a secondary action each turn. Defense does a full secondary action each turn. And I'd think walls are even less likely to be done manually.

Another point: walls enable local settlements to resist the 'justice' imposed by the central tyranny. In a sense, walls are a fundamental building block of feudalism because they allow smaller polities to have retain more power.

Wait, a member of the thread who is not a four legged wooly mammal is arguing for fuedalism?!?! Does hell have skiing now?!

In all seriousness though, a highly developed society is more likely to resist the tyranny of the center than a piss poor but fortified one. And infrastructure includes Palace expansion as well as aqueducts, temples, roads and libraries Which pleases both the sons of wool, as well as the cursed reds. In short, infrastructure has the highest potential and best reward of any other policy by an incalculable margin.
 
Eh, it isn't too bad that the nomads have gone after the Metal Workers. After all, with their new technology they have become a threat, and it is the Ymmri way to send nomads after those who threaten them.

[X] [Main] The Law (Iron Age) x2
[X] [Kick] The Law (Iron Age)

I have faith in the Dread Arr'engee!

There's like a thousand miles between their current target and the TS, and they intend to take over the not!Carpathians and not!Carpathian basin, so no, not particularly.

Well, everyone get ready to say hi to the new neighbors! Oh wait, we already did and we made a good first impression, let's hope that holds out instead. Honestly them conquering the Metal Workers quickly and settling down is the best we can hope for, if they fragment then iron will get everywhere even faster.

Thanks. Edited.

Also, I'm not sure about eliminating the Metal Workers with the Red Banners. I would much rather "incorporate" (read capture) them. That way the secret of iron still stays within the People.

Unless I am getting the map wrong, I don't think they're planning to conquer the MW but they are looking to set up their own kingdom up north.
