Well, currently every turn. We could afford to do a Sec Build Temple, Sec Build Stone Walls (edit costs 2 temp econ for small, 3 temp econ for large, 2 separate walls), Main Build Boats, Sec Build Roads, every turn for the 3 turns needed to get the Main Boats even done. That doesn't include province actions though, which may or may not change things a bit.

That and we don't know where that Boarfolk horde is going. Just isn't at us.

I wonder..... Nomad hordes usually target civs that are either rich, so they can plunder them, or which are strong, so they can get glory from defeating them. So if their target isn't us, I wonder if it's someone in the region we know. Because if it isn't....

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

Looking at the map it's likely someone to the east of us, east of Merntir, who we haven't met yet.

When we get boats that's one direction we can explore in.

    In the final seasons of Evatine's life, the reforms started by her and Wonlyn were finally finished.

    It was decided that the new Council of Arthryn would be independent of the Cadlon of the Arthwyd. While almost the entire priesthood was part of the Arthwyd government right now, that wouldn't necessarily be the case in the future. The Council of Arthryn had to be leaders for all followers of the Arthryn and her Daughters and to do that, they couldn't be bound to a single non-religious leader.

    The Arthwyd also came to the conclusion that the law needed to focus on being just and fair. While some advocated for focusing on being enforceable or managing authority, they were outnumbered by those that felt the laws of the Arthwyd needed to focus on justice and fairness. After all, what was the point of laws if they didn't equally ensure the well-being of everyone in the community?

    The end result was a set of laws that did their best to be both fair to all those in the lands of the Arthwyd and to bring about justice to those that wronged others. While it wasn't the easy of laws to enforce and would almost certainly require updating across future generations, the majority of the People were happy with it as they could put their faith into the law.

    The Arthwyd also decided that the Cadlon could not have unchecked power that they wielded in the past and that limits needed to be put on the authority of the Cadlon. To this end, the Assembly was formed as they act as advisors for the Cadlon and the Cadlon would require the support of at least half of the Assembly currently in Greenbay to implement a law change or take a major action that would impact the whole of the Arthwyd such as forming an alliance or a declaration of war.

    The assembly consisted of the highest-ranking members of the Arthrynite priesthood, the Arthwyd military, the elders of Greenbay, the members of the royal family and Sacred Guardian-General Eira though that last one rarely strayed from Caermyr.

    Legacy Gained!
    Ancient Reformers: All Reforms are cheaper.

    Beyond the completion of both the legal and religious reforms, Cadlon Evalon oversaw two major projects in the latest generation of his reign. The first one was honour the last wishes of his mother and her military supporters by founding a third colony in the north coast, east of the Merntir lands.

    With the Myrthwyd, the Grythwyd and the Arthdysh, the Arthwyd were expanding into the lowlands, the western coast and the northern coast all at once and without the need to for direct oversight by the Cadlon in Greenbay. Instead, the Cadlon could focus on dealing with international relationships and building up the main Arthwyd territories.

    Legacy Gained!
    Colonial Empire: One Colony doesn't use up a subordinate slot.

    The latter he did by coordinating the construction of a stone wall around Caermyr with Sacred Guardian-General Eira. The second stone wall constructed by the Arthwyd, the walls around Caermyr wouldn't be as tall or big as the Evatine Walls. Yet despite that, they would still be impressive and far harder to breach than the old palisade.

    Sacred Guardian-General Eira also worked with the Council of Arthryn to construct a new temple in Caermyr as the Council of Arthryn pooled resources from all over the Arthwyd into the project as the Arthrynite faithful gave them a large resource base to draw upon.

    The colonies also expanded as the Grythwyd build a third stone wall around Forestbay on the western coast. The Arthdysh didn't build any walls, but they did focus on infrastructure as build some temples in their oldest and largest settlements while also building more roads amongst their new territories to hold them together.

    The expanding territory of the Arthwyd also caused a new innovation to help manage it all. While the Arthwyd had long made use of messengers like everyone else, they now had dedicated messengers. For these messengers, their full-time professional job would be going back and forth as they delivered messages across a network that spread across the whole Arthwyd, something that the extensive network of dirt paths allowed to be done.

    Even as the Arthwyd finished their reforms and began to consolidate their empire, their neighbours were also active. The Boarfolk horde had disappeared to the far east as they went to the other side of the grasslands which were apparently not as endless as once assumed.

    The Forluc Kingdom also finally finished consolidating their old lands and the Arthwyd were unsure of whether they would look to focus on internal matters or expand into new lands. If it was the latter, no one was sure if they would move north into the relatively empty lands between the Forluc and the Arthdysh or east against the tribes between them and the Coltyre Confederation or south into the masses of lowlander tribes down there.

    As for the Coltyre Confederation, they were disturbingly quiet, but from what could be picked up from the traders, they were having a temporary bout of instability as the old leadership died off almost all at once and the younger generation struggled to figure out who their replacements would be.

    Most interestingly of all was the news from the Cursed Forest. When Urthryn had ascended, the Foresters had split into three successor states and now they would become one once more as the Urthdysh Federation was finally formed. Ruled by a council consisting of the three queens, the Urthdysh weren't quite a peer power to the Arthwyd, especially when the latter had its colonies, but like the Coltyre Confederation, they were close and almost uncomfortable so.

    To make things even more uncomfortable, the Urthdysh Federation lacked the disunity of the Coltyre Confederation as they had a centralised leadership and unifying religion. This was something they made clear when the first official major action of the Urthdysh Federation was to announce the construction of the Urthrynite Grand Temple.

    Okay, you got a new government type and another megaproject and a couple of legacies alongside a third colony. As for what else…oh yes, a massive infrastructure backlog to deal with.

    Otherwise, the Boarfolk horde target is on the other side of the steppes while your neighbours are consolidating. The Forluc and Foresters are finally recovered from their collapse with the both of them looking to catch up with you.

    You also get to pick your main turn actions for the first time in a while. Trade status will be updated at a future point.

    Please point out any spelling or grammar mistakes that you spot. Please quote them in the thread and explain what you think is wrong so I know what you are referring to. Feel to ask questions for more details and information.

    • @Oshha can the Arthwyd turn one type of stone into another? Like, make construction with cheap and easy limestone, and then turn the whole thing into a stronger rock like quartzite?

    The Arthwyd also decided that the Cadlon could not have unchecked power that they wielded in the past and that limits needed to be put on the authority of the Cadlon.

    I recognize that if I wanted to point out how completely ahistorical this attitude is I should have done so when it first was brought up, but nonetheless I'd like to officially register my complaint at our civilization feeling the need to institute a system of 'checks and balances' as reaching past my suspension of disbelief. I get that we're just inserting our own modern values but can there at least be some justification for them besides "it was obvious?"
     
    So, if Evalon (our diplo hero) is dead, we should be spending an action switching our policy to infrastructure.

    edit: He's not ded yet, disregard

    So wait a second, we got Dedicated Messengers from the admin tech bonus.

    Then what about the Mega bonus?

    I think we were supposed to get two techs at least, but I'm not seeing it. Can anyone check if I was mistaken?

    [X] [MAIN] Diplomatic Expedition = Urthdysh Federation
    [X] [MAIN] Build Boats
    [X] [SEC] Study Metal

    Alright. So first I want to actually convert the Urthdysh Federation. Both culturally and mystically. If Urthryn really isn't redeemable as some fear the a entire cultural/religious take over may be necessary, but I do hope we can peacefully do it with only minor instability on their part.

    I also hope we can create Galleys - exploration actions next turn.

    Edit: Forgot the Megaproject bonus.    ​

    [X] [Mega] Gain at least two Technologies.

    [X] [MAIN] Build Roads = Greenbay
    [X] [SEC] Build Roads = Lowlands Conflux
    [X] [SEC] Trade Expedition = Forluc Kingdom
    [X] [SEC] Settle Land = Upriver Plains

    So one thing I think we need to start thinking about now that we have subordinates is spreading where we build our infrastructure. While it was fine to do Greenbay first previously (and very satisfying to see full infrastructure in the province) we really need to make sure we damage relations with the outer parts of our civilization by hoarding infrastructure development in the heartland. We also don't want to get in a situation where a crisis interrupts our carefully planned infrastructure plans and we end up having to attempt to do stuff in a region with crap infrastructure. Could also be worth switching our province actions to infrastructure just to make sure that something gets done if we forget or get distracted by a new option.

    Using diffchecker.com we upgraded basic fertilizer to fertilizer, basic irrigation to irrigation, primitive concept of growth energy to concept of growth energy, basic ideograms to ideograms, and stone manipulation from basic to expert. We also got zinc, missionaries, codified law, and dedicated messengers as new technologies. As for what is from the bonus or if upgrades count as gaining technologies I'm not sure.

    This bonus isn't something we might get eventually like with the two free techs, and it's not something that we can get from the Golden Age or other megaprojects either. It's unique to the Codified Law project. Furthermore, the actual bonus itself is really good. The smoother everything runs, the better everything goes, the less crises we have to deal with, and the easier it is to deal with crises.

    [X] [MAIN] Build Roads = Greenbay
    [X] [SEC] Build Roads = Lowlands Conflux
    [X] [SEC] Trade Expedition = Forluc Kingdom
    [X] [SEC] Settle Land = Upriver Plains

    Builds infrastructure, does diplomacy (which also builds infrastructure), and works on a quest. Pretty good all around.
