[X] Protecting the villages. The problem is that the lowlanders will be too numerous and too varied for the People to stop them all. The solution is to protect the villages by constructing a physical barrier to keep out the raiders.

Hopefully walls will help us develop better construction techs. Plus, the longer we go and more time we spend developing a complex society the more easily we can avoid ending up with a warrior aristocracy in charge.
 
Now usually I would go straight for walls but...
If we can reach a martial parity in skill or greater we have nothing to fear due to our blessings and organization.

[x] Training warriors of her own. If the hunters of the People aren't enough for to hold their own against the lowlander warriors, then the answer is for the People to train their own warriors.

Also we should trade with the Freak Folk or the Zealots at some point.
Show them that not everyone are slaving assholes and make some early age bonds of friendship with foreign states. Like Poland and Lithuania but without all the Eastern European BS.
 
@Oshha when our hero was comparing us to the lowlands, was she taking into account our allies up north as well? or was it just us?

We should play to our strengths.
Our warriors are lesser, but our logistics are better than our foes. Since taking the lowlands would be such an enormous task that we would surely fail in without giving up our structured systems, I would rather focus on becoming impregnable to raids.

Two immortal martial heroes walking around is also fun, and if the lowlanders ever unite against something I expected one of them to be at the head of it all.
This info also makes me want to finally see the poor Freak Folk, since they seem to be surrounded by assholes.

Yes to this...maybe one day we will get catapults and towers, as well
As dedicated guards but yes I'm all for expanding IF we can keep our people safe.

Which means we got to have infastructure to support the armies and defenses.

I recognize that warriors are all in all the better choice, but having a head start on fortifications is a more cost effective tech/method. We have really good centrilization and societal values, so if we have to very quickly adopt radically different military training and methods then it will be less strenuous on our civ to do so. Not to mention it's likely to be more effective.

Also don't forget that we have stone sculpting magic, which meshes perfectly with forts.

Im all for wanting walls, but we need warriors to man them, if we just have walls and no one manning them then they are useless!

We are a strong people, taking up the warrior class plays to our physical might, and with our logistics and intelligence agents we would be fairly well off.

Who knows we might get earthbenders, those who specialized in utilizing earth magic in offensive ways.

Walls just makes one feel safe to the point they trust the walls for safety, even when the enemy is right outside.

It was explicitly stated that we won't have much of an issue dealing with them attacking us as we have a natural bonus to defense thanks to our level of organization and the sheer size of our settlements while they have an issue mustering the men to attack us in force. It was also stated that we would have an issue on the offense so I think warriors would be best.

Also warriors would naturally help with defense as well as offense where as walls won't do a damn thing to help us on the offense.

What this guy said makes a lot of sense, if we just get warriors we can attack and defend at the same time. We can always get walls later.
 
There is also the fact that choosing the Warrior tech is probably the path to gaining options to actually improve our military without a martial hero using their insight for a one off tech grant.

She said that the lowlanders cannot conquer our villages because we are too large and integrated and they are too fractured. They cannot raise a large enough army and the previous war shows we can power through raids.

She also said we can conquer their villages, but we could not hold them because too many other villages would start raiding.

*edit*
I broke down the choices to be:

Build walls: raids are low cost, but low reward. There's no one to fight, but nothing to take.
Train warriors: raids are high cost, high reward. More raiders die, but more slaves are taken and valuables looted.

I chose walls because the the People care about kidnapping more than lost food or death. And I do not believe we cannot expect to win a fight of attrition against such a diverse number of enemies.
