Having people think for themselves instead of blindly repeating their gods? Why would you want that? They might come up with something you don't like!
Seriously, don't let non-priests philosiphize. When you're least expecting it, BOOM, "God is dead and we have killed him". Besides, at our economic level, philosophy is an unproductive waste of time. Well, unless you're a priest.
 
This is true, thankfully the gods can help tell us what new things to learn, so we can keep from falling into that trap. Better to not have information the gods deem dangerous.

Academic freedom is essential for the progress of human knowledge. Neutering our philosophers is basically letting other philosophers somewhere else take the lead, such as slave societies.
 
We both know the only reason you don't like the gods is because you want to make sure we are the ones who have that power instead.

Mostly just messing with Random. I definitely like more advances for us. Hopefully we can eventually reach Slann levels from the quest on here, where they just make gods to order.

Am I crazy or does every side story in the PoV characters having sex?

No. By my count, less than half of the side stories involve any sexual relations and even then, it is off-screen as they are mentioned as something that has happened already or they are planning to do or something one character wants to do.

Or implied. There's of course nothing explicit given the site, but the culture of Arthwyd as a whole is pretty open.

Thanks this is a lot more helpful than what other people offered.

To the rest of you, 10/10 for effort but I asked for clarification on if it was as prevalent as I thought, not for you to justify it in the narrative.

Just thought I would share this from the discord:

Keeping on diplo until Evalon dies, then switching to infra for awhile is my plan
I feel like we've gotten to the point where it's very hard to slide back into isolationism
Are we at the point where our traders passively trade with our neighbors? @Oshha
Narratively I mean

Yes.

Still not friends with foresters

I feel like we've gotten to the point where it's very hard to slide back into isolationism
Literally impossible without some kind of apocalypse


So, now that I'm a lot less worried about backsliding into being an isolationist state, I will advocate that we should switch to Infrastructure policy as soon as Evalon dies.
