Okay. Before the Bandwagon drives off any further I really want to bring the following part of the post to the front
Okay, the thing that we are working with here is that both the Ymaryn are trying to link world events with movements of the stars as causation. Now we certainly now that is not how it works, but what this method does do is pay increased attention to history, to see the patterns within. This means that what she saw was not necessarily something in stars, but in our history books. The wheel of history turns and we march upon the path we have before.
Look back. What past event can we see similar to our current situation?
Предсказание от мистического героя. Шансы , что неверно малы. Лучше война с военным гением на нашей стороне, чем даже маленький шанс нашего разрушения. Горцы будут следующими по новому казус бели.
Prediction from a mystical hero. The chances are that they are incorrectly small. Better a war with a military genius on our side, than even a small chance of our destruction. Highlanders will be next in a new incident.

"Corrupting" - you make it sound like this is just an outside activity happening on the poor priests. The point is - just as people can go against their secular ethical education, or find self-serving justifications why this or that action may be 'good' after all, or develop a "it's bad, but hey everyone does it" self-justification - the same is true for people with religious moral upbringing. History has shown us time and time again that priests can very easily simply ignore and justify away core moral tenets of their belief. So in this, priests are no different than secularly educated people.

Holy fuck nuggets. Also if we dip into negative stability we are generally fucked.

Don't be deceived by the name guys, this astrology is actually statistics.

Largely because I never really cared about destroying the HK vs massively weakening/vassalizing them.
Plus, Yenyna may as well train her son in a 'short victorious war'.
Making IC contact with the Swamp Folk, to eventually cripple the Thunder.
If we do all that, I can see us dominating the Lowlands, which we could integrate slowly, eventually starting the population doom-stack we have anticipated for many millennia.
Medium risk, huge reward?
Worst case I can think of quickly, the spirit touched is plotting against us and is or works for an antagonistic Shadow King.

Oh, I'm arguing against it. I don't want people following her blindly because she's Genius.
Right now they aren't our nemesis. But when we decide to attack them, they will be, especially with the priests going "THE HEAVENS HAVE DECREED THEM WRONG!"

When Rome lost one fifth of their adult male population in the Battle of Cannae, did they stop and cower? No, they marched on Carthage.

So we should start a war with someone we can't outright defeat so we pay more attention to history?

Or, because our genius mystic can argue it's the gods' will etc etc, we might lose our obsession with our enemies.
We need to be careful about kicking multiple times, but other than that i don't think it will be much of a problem.
Though we should really look into raising our stability cap to make full use of this trait... if such a thing is even possible.

At least -1 RA if they are completely wrong but ignored.
Yes, its one per full turn cycle, not including mid-turns or sub-phases.
Baths provide +1 EE, increase the cap for remaining a true city, and adjust disease rolls. They're basically an aqueduct+. Still working out full cost, probably 3 Econ and 3 Tech.
4 Econ worth.

There is no way to predict what he is claiming with statistics. Math is not magic.
Changing my vote.

1) Tests. We've already applied this and saved multiple harvests
2) Mystic Genius is powerful, worth checking this over
3) After re-reading the relevant parts of our Martial genius, I'm thinking that the 'genius' qualifier actually does mean magic exists. It's an incredibly low-magic setting, but one which does have it.
1) Predicted disaster that came true
2) Predicted no disaster would be coming, and no disaster came

So just to confirm, it has both

2) Predicted no disaster would be coming, and no disaster came

Only because we will have a new enemy to focus on.
