That Glassworks might as well be our next Guild Action has a point.

If we had the 19 culture needed for a Culture Genius + Theatre, I'd be all for it; but as is, we could only go for a hero without hitting negative culture doing it all at once, and I don't think that's enough to shift the bandwagon. So I'm going for more PttS while our mystic genius is still alive. We don't know how long she'll last.

We need to strike while the Iron is hot, and ensure good relations with our neighbors.

Redshore was purged of corruption, and Redhills is brand new, so I can relatively trust them not to immediately go hyper-corrupt. Also don't want to give freedom to our religious centers with such high RA.

See if we can't get better relations with the Hghlanders during our guaranteed peace and start working on the Lowland Minors, who will probably get eaten by the Swamp Folk if we don't act soon.

Either of these are good.

@Academia Nut do we know which stat governs our relations with our vassals?
Like, for example, would a Diplo Genius have a chance of increasing our relations and unifying the cultures of our vassals, or would that be more the domain of an Admin or Culture genius?

ROADS AND ADMINS.
THE CORNERSTONES OF OUR CIVILISATION.
 
AKA, Culture Genius is likely the most unstable. Think Beethoven. Admin and Diplo are likely fairly stable as these require at least some understanding of other people, though I would assume Diplo is probably the most stable. I'm not terribly sure what a Diplo genius would look like, though. Possibly along the lines of FDR or Churchill. Or maybe somebody like Charles Ponzi.

Beethoven was deaf not mad. And most genius musicians of the far past, whilst slaves to thier passions, were very much of sound mental state and in control of thier faculties. Being unstable in front of the high nobility who were the patrons of the arts was a sure way of ending your career.

Uh, Build Theatre costs culture. That vote is committing to spending 19 culture right there. We've only 18!

Please rethink this?

Diplo would probably more like Cardinal Mazarin, Prince Metternich, or Bismarck (though obviously contemporary to our era - I just can't think of anyone particularly known for diplomacy in the Classical Era - it was very much more stabby-stabby, rather than talky-talky).

Well, there is approval voting.
And every counter wagon vote begets another.

that vote spends more culture than we actually have. Please drop the theatre.

Foolks.
There is no point combining Diplo Genius with Roads; Diplo Genius is made for Trade Missions or maybe Salt Gifting.
If you think we need Roads now more than external contacts (which makes sense too), vote for Admin Genius.

You assume that everyone else is monolithic in their voting; I am personally voting for Diplo Genius but not Roads (wait I better add diplo hero to that)

Dude, we can't buy a hero AND build a theatre - it costs 19 culture. We have 18.
