If people choose improving relations with all neighbors + sending the diplo hero to the boarfolk, I feel it likely we will be getting the great cavalry support we would really want to have. However, I'm uncertain if we could do it stat-wise, does sending the hero to convince the boars cost diplo @Oshha ?
 
Hmmm....I'm always leery of 'Golden Ages' What does a Golden Age offer that a well managed normal age won't also do? Also, I don't think my vote would win because of the exact same reason that you just said.
I'm confused. A golden age gives us golden age bonuses. The things being voted for... we could get many of these things other ways, but not all of them by any means. At least, not any way that we've seen.
 
We're too far north to become the center of trade, that's the Corlyd remember. Smack in the middle, while we're isolated wayyy up top with only the nomads beyond us and the forests off too the side.
That WAS the Colryd. They're pretty much dead now. I feel kind of bad about that, like we betrayed an ally by not helping. More pragmatically, in the lowlands we mostly used the cavalry, we could have spared the infantry to go help, and if they"d held out for a bit longer, we'd have a mystic genius AND a martial genius now to fight their martial genius. Oh well, this actually turned out pretty well for the Arthwyd, all things considered.

@Oshha , question: Is everyone who worships Arthryn, Goddess of the People, considered honorary People?

No.

Considering the quantity-to-quality balance between us, are the Forluc a peer power, or a stronger one, compared to us? What do you guys think?

Overall, you are peer powers, but are stronger and weaker in different areas.

@Oshha , question: Is everyone who worships Arthryn, Goddess of the People, considered honorary People?

No. To be one of the People, you need to be both a follower of Arthryn and her Daughters and a civilised person. For example, the Maradysh were still considered barbarians after their conversion because while they changed their religion, they remained uncivilised barbarians and not civilised like the People.

To be one of the People, you need both the right religion and the right culture. That said, the Arthwyd do value those that share their religion over those that do not.

Presumably the Furlc should be exceptionally exhausted after assaulting a city then rampaging through it, so this is a perfect opportunity to crush this army and potentially kill their genius. If we kill their genius, and our's survives I think, we pretty much win the war. Hopefully magic advancement can immediately help out the war effort somehow(also I just want more magic).

When you say they have a second army @Oshha is it the size of the force in the lowlands or the one that assaulted the city or both combined?

I'm hoping that we can collapse their civ somehow so we don't have to worry about these nutcases again after the war. I think destroying their capital last hope, and killing their king or killing the priests of their god should do it. A civ like theirs should suffer a massive stability loss if they lose a war and losing last hope should add to it.

The first Forluc army was split between assaulting Caermyr and delaying you in the lowlands and while it was about three times the size of your army, it has lost just over two thirds of its overall strength. The second army is the same size of the first army.

The Forluc also have some emergency troops back some still, but that is more that they have a couple thousand warriors to hold down their territory while the rest of the military is in foreign lands.

Just because they're not around doesn't remove the physical distance between everyone else and us, unless we vassalize the remains and put the market there.

And I reiterate that vandalizing in the middle of a war is a bad idea, there will be resentment as if we left them to die and then take them over, better to defend them now and then tie our cultures closer later.


I was excited when it looked like nautical tech was gonna win, wouldn't have been cool to finally explore the sea.

Holy shit we are in a war and people want to unlock non-military projects.
Unlocking non-military projects is the smart thing to do, because the the military improvement would cut our temp martial by a third.

In addition, long term thinking is important. Golden ages aren't always present. We need to unlock some things for the future.

Codified law is especially important, as it'll allow our governement to advance.

In other words, these troops can't move against us if we destroy the force at Caermyr since the news of the defeats will cause intense unrest amongst the Forluc.

Is that the case @Oshha?

We need the diplo to stay in the golden age, so I want to save it in case we end up spending some to get an ally or something.
