You know what would be fantastically amusing?
If we went into a Gilded Age.
And then spend all of our Prestige on GA "True Gold" innovations.

That's certainly the narrative now, but I think it's very likely this was a low roll. I'm sure it wouldn't be as bad as this if we'd done it earlier, but it'd probably still be a failure.

I disagree with regards to the kick; I don't think these guys are settled enough that they can't draw on nomad tribes if they start winning, and we could be in serious trouble against their cavalry here.
I think he's talking about the paper.

They're probably not low enough stability that it'll hamper them much, but if this persists for more than a turn it could well open up opportunities.
It might be worthwhile to send an Intrigue mission to see if there's any other contenders for the throne we could support?

I definitely think it's well worth it, but it's not dealing with an invasion.
I don't think we have the intrigue to spare.

Yeah, between these we are poised to do really well against the Forhuch. We need more cavalry though, or we are just gonna be sending men into the meat grinder.
On a positive note, if we also have a plague, at least we will get +1 prestige per turn!

That's why I said yet. AN did say that in the case of Freehills, Forhuch and Storm Ymaryn all attacking us Mass Levy might let us squeak through with ante bellum status. So aiming that all at the Forhuch should be a massive blow. Now, I expect that there is a good chance we will need a kick, about 60/40 in our favor(i.e not needing to kick) to fully finish the job and would not be sad if it won however I think Mass Levy is enough.

What's new?
[Kick]- I'd like to remind everyone that the bonuses from a Kick apply during the entire turn. They cost the same no matter which phase they're performed in, but doing them at the start of the turn is significantly more effective.
As to [Trade]
[18][Trade] Push the guilds to the limit to meet demands (Trade Tech for Wealth, up to 5 per phase, to attempt to top up Wealth)
[15][Trade] Smiths work overtime! (-2 Tech/turn but can meet demand for trade)
I really don't get what's going on here. Trading Tech for Wealth is basically useless when we're already overflowing Tech into Wealth, and we don't want a Gilded Age to start. It also doesn't even specify if that meets the trade demands.
I have to say, explicitly naming the update "Prologue to epic" is probably really pushing us to Mass Levy. I'd be somewhat uncertain from just what's in the update, but this makes it pretty clear that shit's going down.

Added clarification, I meant to be asking about [PSN] Expand Econ/[PSN] Plant Cash Crops since those are normally disabled while on Mass Levy but didn't seem to be last time we had the option (the [React] specified no Mass Levy+Expand Econ, but [PSN] didn't)

We're going to be sending endless hordes of Ymaryn into the meat grinder, where they will die for the defense of Txolla and Thunder Horse who Forhuch dares to threaten. Drown them with sheer numbers.
