[X] Alphel Heiros - Hailing from the Callidian Islands south of the continent, Alphel Heiros is one of a large number of sons of the Callidian King, a man who boasts the title of 'One True Nikean King' compared to the City-States' much smaller landed holdings. Callidus VII has extolled his son's apparently myriad virtues, though his boastfulness is oft-known for being exaggerated. His greatest claim is Alphel's supposed brilliance and farfetched ability to recite from memory entire texts of religious and scientific import.

@Powerofmind Which islands are the Callidian Islands? The red dot archipelago on the Mistral map or south of that?

Requoting this:
You answered the second question in my original post but not really the first. Querying if we have any major kind of sea trade going on (relevant given Lanta is one of the marriage candidates).

Not especially. You lack any ports in the city districts.

Are River Docks enough for this or is there a progression to Sea Docks or something of that nature to gain access to that?
And what is the Lien/Turn on River Docks I?
Also, typo:

River docks are enough to make trade have apparent value. Your first Tower would be seaside, in order to give you direct access to a drydock.
1/turn in pure economic value.
Thanks.

Is it still unknown mechanics like the Develop Technology stuff that we just have to do to see or is it known for us to say that it would be then Tower (350 Lien) > Dry Dock (unknown cost) and it opens up along that path?
1 Lien * 106.5% Tech/Skill/Bonus *.2 Tax rate = .213 Lien/turn
125 Lien cost (before discounts) = 587 turns to pay off
Unknown trade modifier brings that down but not known to what degree
Sheesh, that's also bad.
Can you talk more about city state defensiveness? It's correct to say that the Farm Enclosures and Sworn Townships are pretty far from the city proper and obviously lack the walls and what not. So if a city state is actually attacked by enough troops to need their walls, it's entirely possible to just starve them out in a long siege (depending on their food stores and sea access) and the defensive bent of their units ends up not being worth anything?

Trade is a variable value, but it's generally only a few single-digit rewards for inland trade. Trade, however, always gives it's full value to you, and isn't a micro-tax thing.
City-states have incredible defensiveness because they combine their entire levy/garrison for sieges, and starving them out takes time, time that tens of thousands of people under the duress of a siege will draw grimm during. The sheer size of the metropolis-like city-states also makes it cripplingly difficult to properly siege them.

Noted. That doesn't help much if the attackers instead opt to raid/sack the outlying holdings and retreat and bleed off resources that way, correct? Just trying to wargame this out loud (also useful for attacking another city state). We lose the farm income, it doesn't strictly matter if the city would hold, we still starve anyway in a matter of turns, they don't even have to properly siege us. We can sally to repair if we have the cash available but they can just raid again and force a fight that way.

Destroying improvements is very difficult. It takes more time than a shock-and-awe raid to deal enough damage that regular maintenance can't fix it up, unless someone can afford a large number of HE devices. The people most likely to perform those kinds of attacks would also have to make long-distance campaigns, because it's really dangerous to cause starvation to an immediate neighbor, you're bound to have spillover.

Acadia of Lanta will win by this afternoon!
Bride of Lanta

In the end, you cannot help but find an appreciation for Acadia of Lanta, despite his reticence. You find yourself having more to communicate about with the Lantian than the other suitors, who are either too far away, are surreptitiously screened by Nestopheles, or are your overly-eager Huntsman Superior.
You make your plans with Sedea, and the treaties of mutual protection are prepared to be brought along with Acadia, who is spotted sailing up the river Kaira in a fine-looking ship of excellent design. The arrival of the Lantian and his honor guard is met with much curiosity at the dockyard, gawkers and onlookers pointing and awing at the electric motors and sleek, seamless hull.
You are impressed, knowing that Lanta's typical fare is much less advanced. Apparently the Queen of the Isle wants to put on a little show of things. Your own personal guard clears a path from the gangplank to your carriage, allowing Queen Sedea herself to descend with her son Acadia, flanked by a few men of her own. The small party crosses the divide, entering the carriage without a word.
When you lurch into motion, heading towards the keep, your peer speaks first. "Queen Megara," she greets with a slight nod.
"Queen Sedea," you return, trusting that if you at least copy her you can't manage to put your foot in your mouth.
"I am sorry for arriving so suddenly, but my son's wedding day is important to me," she explains, and you blow the breath you were holding since you saw her in person through your nose in relief. "I would not dare to miss such a joyous occasion."
You smile back, feeling a genuine pleasantness welling up. "That's good. That's fantastic, actually," you reply. "After recent events, I know all too well how important the closeness of family is. It's good to see we're of the same opinion, Queen Sedea."
Her face sours a little at your mention of recent events, and you hold back from wincing at whatever mistake you've stumbled into. "A terrible mess," she says with a shake of her head. "Mutual respect and trust are the cornerstones by which my family was built. I hope you will do the same for Acadia."
The man in question, finally, speaks up, if only to sound upsettingly like the twins after you've pinched their cheeks. "Mother, please," he pleads. "You can't demand such things of my fiancee when she has the same title as you!"
"I can demand whatever I want of her, Acadia," Sedea says back quite calmly. "You are my son and I will not stop looking out for you just because you live elsewhere now."
The sight is so odd, so strange, you cannot help but to stifle a giggle with your hand as you look away, embarrassed. Sedea, your peer in title but certainly not experience, quirks her brow, and her lips join it in a crooked tiny smirk at your expense.
Thank the gods you've got the privacy of the carriage.
~~~~
"And, as is ancient tradition, may these two people be brought together in matrimony."
The service was a little dry, a consequence of being mostly secular as concession to Sedea's family, devout followers of the Nameless One. But even with the good parts stripped away, you are now a married couple! As the ceremony gives way to feasting and celebration, Sedea is first to approach your table for congratulations. "I am glad to see my son married to someone as tenacious as yourself, Megara," she says, dropping your title as a display of familiarity. "But I could not make much time to be here, today. I am afraid I will take my leave early. I hope to see fine grandchildren from the two of you soon."
You blush as Sedea turns to take her leave, while Acadia seems just as mortified. "Dammit, mother."
The party passes in a blur of alcohol and cheer, and it is to shouts of encouragement and - from Polybia - shouts of 'the best positions' that you join Acadia in the privacy of your marital chambers. You look across the bed at your husband, and feel upset that you do not know much about him, your correspondence mostly matters of current events and, more often than not, discussions with Sedea about the particulars of the defense treaties.
You are about to open your mouth to ask some of the questions on your mind... but Acadia is already stripping down with about as much ceremony as someone about to bathe. He stares at you, nonplussed and dressed only in skivvies, which are quickly disappearing as well! "Well? Are you going to undress, or is there some Progenitorist ritual about sex I'm not aware of?"
That's- This is- AHHHHHHHH!
...
You apologize for beating Acadia with a pillow and calling him unsavory names after you manage to calm down. Nameless worshipers are terrible, terrible deviants!

Each councillor or full huntsman in your court receives annual pay of 1 Lien per year, which amounts to a cost of 12 Lien. Other characters of note who live off of your generosity receive .5 Lien per year, for a total of 4 additional Lien. The League demands a small fee of 10 Lien per year.
Overall you should ensure you have 26 Lien to pay your court, or they might get annoyed.

If it isn't already, can we please get this (the rule) into a threadmark somewhere?
[X] Plan Please Don't Tax Us
-[X] Alternating Focus - Family
-[X] Statecraft - Work with Chancellor to try and convince fellow members of the League to not pass an extra tax on Letum
-[X] Statecraft - Train Diplomacy
-[X] Chancellor - Try and convince fellow members of the League to not pass an extra tax on Letum
-[X] Marshal - Suppress Revolts
-[X] Steward - Develop Economic Technology
-[X] Spymaster - Gather information to assist Chancellor and Megara (most likely amenable to voting as-is, possible blackmail or faultlines, possible trade or other concessions, etc). Incidentally, if any public hugely negative information on other League members is discovered about how poorly they handled the plague, pass that back for rumormongering back home to make our efforts look better.
-[X] Head Teller - Encourage sermons lifting the spirits of the people after having survived a tough ordeal
-[X] Huntsman Superior - Patrol Lands
Our Diplo still sucks so I'm not going to do anything with it personally until we're not eating penalties.
Stewardship is still our best stat, let's try our that nifty Econ Tech event and double down to hopefully have it go really well. (I was tempted to switch to History and play around with the Relic but this is more core)
Other main thrust are not just rolling over to the tax increase, even if it might be late, and working on Realm morale.
