We will not enter into a golden age. We need two maxed stats for that.

Econ will over flow into wealth which will over flow into diplo which will overflow into culture so by mid turn we will have 3 maybe even four over flowed stats counting mysticism

Hey is my vote legal

If it is legal then the idea is that we Force the Trelli to let us into the Mediterranean In order to flank the Khemetri Because they Colony In Asia Minor Has to use the sea to supply from the Nile If it goes super well we can probably win the war in one turn

This won't be over quickly. We need fortifications, and FAST.
Towers first. The biggest issue here is reaction time if the Highlanders feel they're hard enough. Towers let us respond better in every way if they do.

I know there will be arguments about if 5% is enough, which I kinda agree with, but you are going for this beacuse any amount of improvement is better than none? I can understand that one quite well and agree with the reasoning.

I think @Academia Nut has said that if we can make it to the midturn with maxed stats we can enter one? Or maybe that was a turn we started with max stats...i'll try and find the quote later if no one else has it (or a counter quote)

I think this is what you're remembering?

Academia Nut said:
If you can get to Stab 3 here, if you can make it to the mid-turn at Stab 3 and two max stats, a golden age will trigger.

Can't remember how long we'd had what maxed at that point though.

Given that you're employing Trelli mercenaries, that's probably not a great plan.

It seems like a bad idea to declare war on the Trelli while fighting the Khemetri with the Highlanders having Iron and waiting in the wings to stab us.

Well, given that someone got this intelligence to you, its entirely possible that the Shadow King is on your side. They honestly have no idea, but given that they haven't been detected, the Blackbirds almost certainly are fundamentally compromised. If the Shadow King does exist, and this isn't just all externally driven rather than internal corruption. The People are welcoming of refugees, and if a Highlands spymaster decided to take advantage of that behavior... it would be complicated and amazing that they haven't been detected up until now, but there's some level of conspiracy at work.

This whole issue combined with the fact we're being stalemated scout wise at the front is why I like the secondary blackbird pick, gets our king some control over things hopefully...

@Academia Nut if we are at the mid turn with 2 maxed stats and 3 stab will we enter a golden age?

Yes.

Oi folks, we are at war here, we need to send a main or secondary war mission, our situation is precarious.

We can skip the study metal. An arsenal with support artisans should have the desired effect. It gives us the Arsenal and the general support should net us some kind of advance.

Andres · Jul 28, 2017

@Academia Nut, which of the actions will develop our Gastraphetes and Bolt Throwers more? Is it Support Artisans?

It can only work because we are hiring mercenaries if we show up at the city with the viking Force while all the mercenaries are in Asia Minor how could they say no to letting us through.

maximillian · Jul 28, 2017

And @Academia Nut, the passive policy says 1/2, does that mean we can add another policy?

You know that I've got this suspicion that, since we have never really taken anti-intrigue actions besides Blackbirds, that someone probably Rulwyna II saw this weakness and set up a system hidden in a system that is meant to defend us. Using total obscurity even from the most high places to survive and defend itself and strike at enemies.

It's a weird thought though.

Umi-san · Jul 28, 2017

@veekie
We have 0 Tech atm. A secondary Study Metal does give +1, but I'd prefer to be higher in case Arsenal procs innovations.

Yes.

If we only have one maxed out say econ and that maxed out stat will over flow into wealth which will max out that stat will it trigger a golden age so long as we areat stab 3?

That update itself emphasized that our King has no idea what to do in a War, and has delegated all of that towards the provinces and people who do know what they're doing.

Plus, the whole point of the arsenal and artisans is to hopefully synergize with Study Metal to produce (hopefully) Steel, or some other form of metal superior to our own.

Total speculation here but the concentration of the Royal Arsenal may boost counter-espionage security. I consider this unlikely however.

We are at a stalemate so what we need right now is a game changer rather than throwing more of our soldiers into the meat grinder.
