Umm, maybe it grows where we are and not India? Anyway, what other spice of that description comes from treebark, Max? In any case, not!India is probably a hell of a lot hotter than it is IRL given how geography is shifted.

Hence why I am voting for levy. Forhcuh is not the real target right now. He is practice. Hopefully a warm up that allows us to work out the kinks in our force. Turn this levy into an army.
Forhcuh really doesn't understand the current political climate. Hopefully they will actually remember this. They are transfering out of being nomads.
I think we might have acquired spice from not!India, since we did acquired cotton from there also.

...why would we not be? We're at max wealth, we're only spending 3, and we can exchange up to 5 tech for wealth to "keep wealth topped off". Unless i missed something or AN changed things since i last looked?

I think everyone is underestimating Forhcuh.
Oh well.

Wealth and econ generation will be turned off for the duration of the war. We might consider spending some on cavalry for instance.
At the very least, we won't get any more.

More that other than calling up the levies and kicking, there's not much more we can do.
If we were truly underestimating the Forhuch, we'd only be using the offensive policy.

Not quite, our income in the brackets still works, but actions like Expand Economy are disabled.
The war's going to be a bloodbath based on our previous experience.

It's not like we can do more. We are going all out for this war.

The last time we fought nomads we only crushed them cause plague.
And a nation of nomads is likely greater a single Tribe.

Agreed. And Greenshore is a lush place with a decently hot climate as a result of our latitude and a decently moist one as a result of the mountains backing it trapping the humidity from mares nostrum.

The reason it was even a competition at all is because everyone had the worst plague the world had ever seen. It was called the Horseman Plague for a reason.
Yes, that is why we tried to make friend with the Forhuch, so this situation won't happen. We just got a shitty roll and now we are forced to fight them.

...I'm not sure how that affects my point, which is specifically worry about the fact that if i remember right, our last guilded age came after only half a turn at max wealth, instead of a full turn? ANd if that is the case, and we take the option you prefer, we will trigger a guilded age? And (again, assuming i remember right, and i dont really care enough to check all the diffs i'd have to to confirm it) again if i remember right, the stab hit is immediate. Which means that we'd take an extra stab hit. That's why i asked AN, though he seems to be busy.
(Though just in case he has time later but didn't see the first one: @Academia Nut how long does it take for a gilded age to start? assuming we take the option to convert tech to wealth and make it to the next phase, will it start? Is there an immediate stab hit, or will there only be one if we make it to the next main turn?)
Yeah, its specifically "Expand Econ and most Wealth generating actions disabled while this policy active."
...Though i could definitely see us having statuses take effect if we keep the policy on too long, since we'll be largely emptying out the cities to do this if i understand the narrative right. So i wouldn't count on market income being sustained.

I hope we get some good prestige from this and that they actually remember this time. If they are turning into a nation that should mean a better memory right?

On the contrary, it seems exactly right. Rage Against the Steppes and all that. And hopefully HK sees what happens to Forhuch and goes crawling back into their little hidey-holes for a couple centuries.
I'd consider the cost of one stability per turn to be worth the Wealth income, at the moment.
Maybe we'll get another shot at that financial innovation.
Though it'll pretty much lock in Improve Festival as an action for a while.
But the risk of that first stability hit is why I haven't committed to kicking yet.
In my opinion, it is unlikely we will remain at max wealth and will take actions to replenish our forces or strengthen them. So I am not sure why we would pass the opportunity to generate more wealth and push forward toward rationalization of production processes.

A question @Academia Nut. Can we ask Freehills and the Storm Ymaryn for help?
Oh, and is it possible to lure the Forhuch to the Highland Kingdom? And once to 2 start fighting, we and the Harmurri, Storm Ymaryn and Freehills gangbang the two and win?
