That's kind of bullshit however. She's not going to be King, and our current rulers have no interest in romancing her. And theocracy...look, we currently have a PRIEST as king. She's not going to be relevant there.

Not really. Think it through. We have a king trying to find her a companion and healer, who hopes that her descendants will retain some of her gifts, and she's obviously already observed with some religious devotion. In a turn or so she could end up eating the HK if things go well, so she'll be even more legendary than she already is.

Even if she never sits the throne, if she has children, and those children have even a modicum of her talent, then intermarriage with her descendants will be seen as highly prized. And if these gifted descendants are routinely elected to king, that is only fitting. Those Khemetri guys have had a God king for centuries and they're doing pretty well for themselves, etc...

I'm not saying it's guaranteed or that we couldn't potentially avoid it, but there's a strong precedent for it narratively.

[X] [Bonus] At least two technology upgrades (exploding rolls)

Right, to explain my bonus choice. It has to do with my hero choice, remember that technology does not just include things like steel and other physical products, it also includes things that would make administrative upgrades handy. So I'm trying to direct the exploding tech rolls into an admin level of nonsense.

The rest has already been argued, though I'm voting for forests only because I consider that the most important policy we can take and while I'd prefer infrastructure next, I seriously just want forests. This is something we need chugging away in the background.

You can actually choose infrastructure too, since we get to choose two passives.
 
If someone wishes to provide a replies per day average rate for the PMAS quest for the last five chapters, that would be great for a more accurate estimation of growth rate. As I am temporarily too lazy to do it myself.

I might add PMAS to my crawl later just for comparison.
 
@Academia Nut, how exactly did our genius manage to stalemate the Prince of khemtri in personal combat?
He must have been trained to fight since the day he could walk, while she was an average yeoman's daughter and spent most of her life in a temple. So how did she manage not to get quickly killed when they personally engaged? There is also the major difference in size and mass between the two.

Mad Enhancement is an actual thing you know. Someone as crazy as her probably pushes far harder than an ordinary woman of her size and weight should be capable of simply because she lacks the capacity to really try preserving her strength for the future. Hence, she goes all in--likely to nearly the point of self destruction--any time she fights in personal combat.
 
Voting for the following first:

[X] [Mystic] Search the entire kingdom for someone who might understand her and put her at ease (-1 Mystic, -1 Econ, -1 Wealth, -1 Culture)

[X] [Prov] Integrate Gulvalley (-4 Diplo, +3 Econ, +8 Econ Expansion, +2 Mysticism, +3 Culture, +1 Tech, new core province)

[X] [Hero] Organizing all of this was hell, but one clerk refused to buckle (Heroic to Genius level administrator)

[X] [Policy] Infrastructure (+1 Free Progress to an infrastructure project (Aqueduct, governor's palace, saltern, etc.)/turn) x1

Sean Bean reincarnated as the great general who survived the war with the Khemetri. He is still heir to the throne in full disbelief that he actually survived the greatest conflict of the age rather than die in some heroic fashion. Now he ponders the means and ways to uplift the peaceful Ymaryn closer to the modern era. Play Sean Quest as he uplift the Ymaryn and try not to die a heroic death!
