I would strongly recommend [PSN] Main Expand Econ. So long as we also take [MP] Trade Excitement, we overflow and basically instantly fix our Martial problems. It doesn't overflow by a ton, but it is enough to get us to a reasonably safe value. Forests would certainly be nice, but we still have an acceptable buffer and so it's not time-critical. (we will need more Forests soon though, the buffer is running low)
Oh and btw, here's my current plan for next turn (assuming we get the overflow into martial)
[Main] Great Dam
[Secondary] Palace Annex - Great Hall
[Secondary] Proclaim Glory
(Assuming we lose Legitimacy from the [Int] action. If not, can be filled with something else)
[Secondary] Found March - Spirit Channel
[Secondary] Build Roads
[Secondary] Expand Forests
[Guild] Plant Poppies
[Guild] More Warships
[Guild Secondary] Build Porcelain Works
Dam - required
Annex - this'll get us the government upgrade, which should be
very nice.
Proclaim Glory - get us back to max legitimacy and stability.
March - we need them to be developed, and we're like a century away from a massive horse archer nomad attack. If we don't plant them
now, they won't be fortified enough to survive the nomads.
Roads+Forests- both of these need work. Could certainly drop one of them for an x2 in the other, but they need to get done.
Poppies - generate Wealth, activate more cities, and get Leading in another trade good
Warships - complete the quest and make sure Freehills can't push us around
Porcelain - aim for another Leading, don't spend any forests since it's a secondary
This also leaves a lot of stats available for the province actions, so they should do some nice things as well.
Yo
@BungieONI @Sivantic and other folks who actually grok the mechanics: what would happen if *all three* of the Main Expand Econ votes won?
Bad things, unknown exactly what. We'd get massive overcrowding from negative Econ Expansion, and we've never actually hit overcrowding so we don't know exactly beyond losing most of the benefits and sometimes getting really bad rates on the exchange of econ -> EE.
