We can only attack the Nomads this turn, we don't have a valid CB right now to attack the Highlanders.

Hi I'm about 30 odd pages behind but I just need to say regarding cities:
as of the census we had a pop of 3million with a 10% urban population cap. If each city is 100,000 people then we don't have the population to support 3 true cities without literally draining every other urban centre.
I suspect what actually happens is that AN decides at what point a city gains a stable population and once an aqueduct is created it will raise that stable point and the cities population will grow until it meets the new equilibrium.
Keep in mind that as late as the Victorian period cities were meat grinders that sucked up rural folk in order to match the rate that disease chewed them out. Aqueducts don't make cities because of the availability of fresh water makes more people, they do because improved hygiene reduces the spread of disease until population density rises to match it again.

Let's us rush through the International Games, which might upgrade Cosmopolitan Acceptance.

Truce, wait for the next turn.

You are peace with the Khem, that has been corrected.
No. You can still increase your Martial a bit, and you have to go a turn cycle without having valid actions. It would be given as an option to switch next midturn right now.
Nope! You have a treaty with them until next turn.

These are important. Reminder that the Khem have a Heroic Diplomat King right now who really wants peace with us. That should give the International Games a much better chance of success. Also, since we're hosting, it might lead us to becoming the center of a UN of sorts which we can potentially subvert down the line.

Hum.
Actually, what changed mechanics-wise here? Not sure what the upgrade did.
Oh... oh wow. These are sports teams and I think we might have just invented soccer hooligans. That's why every two cities gives us culture, those two cities can compete against each other.

Oooh, no wonder the stallions had so much mysticism left...
I think thats a temporary thing, from going low enough on wealth to potentially trigger the stab hit from our new economic system.
@Academia Nut can we split up the guild action, or does it have to be one main action?

We have 25 martial, coming up to 26 with Plant Poppies.
We are already super swole dude, staying on Offense won't help us much right now.

Right then.
What I am planning with this is several fold.
Arete is something we have been aiming for, for a while. It is the pursuit of excellence. This will shift all the costs of our actions again however our quality is going to skyrocket and it also has synergy with Love of Wisdom. This is because the Love of Wisdom is the seeking of knowledge and Arete is the drive to excel for excellencies sake and will thus drive Love of Wisdom like a flame as it is another thing to excel in.
New Trails for the Roadage, we are low on cent right now so best start raising that. It will also raise our cap so we can see what that is like narratively.
Merc Company because we are still a little high and we will want them for anything martial related we do in the coming turns, including making sure the HK are no longer a strategic problem.
Planting poppies so that we get a lot of wealth to pay for everything and try for that +1 Stability. Interesting to know that that can happen. Don't want to game it though.
