That one priest in the back - records said that someone like him was always there - who distantly shouted "Kiss already!" was given a savage beating before being put on black soil detail for a year.

Phew, I'm glad she's getting what she deserves. Good to know that beatings are a socially accepted form of punishment for our people too.

People got shanked over the games now, but the rate was somewhat lower, so that definitely helped!

I remeber discussion people saying this was good?

[X] [Main] International Games
Holy shit an option for an immediate 2nd tier megaproject that has CA as a pre-rec! Only 3 actions though, soooo might be a good idea to chain on another megaproject next turn as to not burn actions switching back and forth.

I promised.

I'll catch up with discussion in the morning and will finish/change my vote if I have a different opinion before the next update.

Just a heads up by the way, I love everybody here.

Stability to 3, Centralization to 5 to fix two key stats and make us resistant to things blowing up again when we go to war next turn. Also means we don't waste time with a policy switch in back to back turns.

(I'm also a little worried about if the Highlanders join the Games and then we stab them next turn anyway. Kind of is going to defeat the purpose of the whole thing.)

the main PG is unnecessary. If wealth is above 10 (and poppies + no wealth cost gets us there) then we gain +1 stab, which means we hit 2.

Why Grand Docks over International Games? Having the Khemetri join us from the start is a massive boost, since having the two most powerful nations competing will draw in other groups as well.

Especially since the International Games would be starting while the War is in living memory, showing both the newfound camaraderie between the Ymaryn and the Khemetri and showing that these Games would be a prestigious event between two powerful nations, and thus bring prestige to other nations who might join and win the competitions.

Well if we can make them not treacherous douches then that also solves their strategic issue in my mind.

And hey that means we wouldn't have to waste energy on removing them from the board in a strategic(really using this word too much) sense.

Not as satisfying but whatevs.

I doubt they would, considering that they hate our guts and would probably lose all local support if one of their nobles openly went to participate in an event hosted by the Ymaryn.

Aristocracy ho!

Our roads are an insult to civilised senses.

We need to quickly wall up our lands, this speeds it up considerably, and don't forget we're going to war next turn.

Create a new industry to break monopoly and stagnation.
 
This seems like the perfect time fpr a genius diplomat.

...but if we did not have a heroic administrator, we would not have finished the Games in time.

Because there are no good uses of our guild action. I would rather spend our actions as optimally as possible this turn to recover some of our low stats, and then move on to the international games next turn. Yes, we are less likely to have them partner with us for it, but I would rather set us firmly on track before chasing the shiny shit at the end.

This ought to get us that sweet lucre stability- which as proper Ymaryn we all know is the best kind of stability.

I'd be highly surprised, but I'm a bit concerned too. Think about what it would actually mean though- we have confirmation that we'll get the Treachery CB on them by the time the turn is over. The Ymaryn are furious at the HK- this isn't a simple matter of the thread being internet tough guys this is the Ymaryn as a culture being totally okay with putting those bastards in the ground for good.

Now, imagine if these hated neighbors show up to compete against a) the most aggressive and violent portion of our population b) the veterans who fought against said betrayal and c) the same people who are going to be driven to even greater extremes to live up to personal platonic ideals. If the HK is stupid enough to show up, they're probably going to get lynched.

Yeah, I suspect the automatic agreement here from the Khem is from Reshem being a heroic diplomat and recognizing the benefits, then pushing it through any dissent because he's the god-king. Everyone else will have lots of cultural xenophobia to get through.

Uh. With Poppies we wind up getting a stability amongst other things. That's hardly useless.
 
Immediately after the war is finished, the Ymaryn finished a megaproject.

Everyone go: "Wha? They can fight a war against all of us and have time to finish a megaproject???"

This puts us on track for a golden age, hopefully means we don't end up fighting the Khem later afterall, and enforce justice under a heroic/genius admin seems like the best chance we'll ever get of figuring out our totally infiltrated/compromised society.
