I'm pretty sure their population is limited by their Mystic stat though.

I doubt that's a limiting factor that's actually doing any limiting. It might theoretically be, but not one that's likely to ever actually stop it their growth.
Sidenote, refusing to give the undead more bodies hardly seems the same as sterilizing a group.

There's a difference between not having children and preventing people from having children. You weren't suggesting to stop giving the Caradysh new bodies, you were suggesting, quote, "a way to keep them from continuing to gain bodies in perpetuity".

"The Caradysh just keep growing without limit! They're so expansionistic, unlike us."
...
Meanwhile, in Caradysh Negaverse Quest:
"I am afraid of the Arthwyd. It seems inevitable to me that they will either become numerous enough to take over everything by force, or be destroyed before they can as things stand. We would need to find a way to keep them from continuing to gain bodies in perpetuity in order to stop that dichotomy from happening."
(Sorry in advance for the long post)
I'm not advocating for a sneak attack or breaking any commitments. I'm also not advocating for wholesale extermination of a thinking people. I do feel that while the group here tries to steer a considered and peaceful approach our neighbors do not. When faced with difficulty or opportunity it seems like the Caradysh do what is best for them and don't seem to have any attachment to external groups (or desire to peacefully create associations).
In my mind "root out" was used to indicate the difficulty of resolving the situation, they're in a cursed forest, their leadership seems strong and difficult to punish for betrayal (Do undead heros/leaders die outside of combat?), our fallen could become an asset for them, they were pursuing metalworking and demon summoning techs, they seem to be expansionist (though less successful than we are), and culturally it sounds like there will be issues.
I don't know enough about their actual society. Are a majority of their population thinking individuals?
How are undead created (cull a captive population, raise war dead/ no POWs, have living pop lead full lives and then become undead to support their families, etc.)?
Is their society just Urth and a handful of powerful underlings/children directing a bunch of semi-mindless drones?
Their territory and current leadership seem to be generally hostile to us (using espionage right now). I'm advocating for figuring out how large their lands actually are and making a committed attempt to resolve the situation the next time a reasonable opportunity presents itself. We may grow faster but unless some fundamental things change it seems to me any significant growth the Caradysh have will lead to a larger issue down the road.
(I've only read the threadmarks so if there's some good supplemental information for the Caradysh for Redux I can bone up on I'd appreciate any resources or perspective you can provide.)

Let me try to answer these as I go, to the best of my knowledge.
We don't know exact numbers, but it's likely that a majority of the "population" are mindless undead controlled by the sapient undead, known as Revenants. A single Revenant can control several mindless undead at a time, sometimes up to groups of 20 or 30, so they can direct the mindless undead towards doing the menial tasks required to upkeep a civilization. The Caradysh presumably create Revenants from living mortals, but how this is done and what is required to do so are currently unknown.
Undead have been created by all three of those situations. The Caradysh at one point decimated the Raradysh by slaughtering them, raising their dead, and getting out of dodge. They regularly raise war dead whenever they win a fight against another opponent, to restore their numbers. They also have a "deal" with their current mortal vassals that they will protect and provide for them...so long as they give the Caradysh all of their dead.
While Urth is supremely powerful and could likely bully the Caradysh into compliance if they wanted to, they seem to currently be elsewhere looking for esoteric magic lore or something. The Caradysh seem to currently be ruled by one of Urth's children, but there are probably lots of internal political shenanigans and stuff that make her rule less than absolute.
The fundamental issue here is that people seem to think of the Caradysh as some sort of undead hivemind, that wants nothing else but to increase its numbers and consume everyone and anyone to add to its unending hordes. As far as we can tell, the Caradysh have ambitions, aspirations, and personalities just like mortals do (or at least the sapient ones do). The same argument for the Caradysh wanting to exponentially increase their numbers and conquer everyone could reasonably be made about us, as a gigantic mega state that has been throwing out colonies left and right and are sufficiently different enough from our neighbors to cause constant low level tension between us.
Hopefully that answered most of your questions, and if I got some stuff wrong hopefully @Oshha can correct me
Yeah, because the only way they get bodies is by people giving them bodies, or through war. Like if we just take over as liege lord's of their vassals they won't have a source of bodies, and their numbers will stagnate. No attacks needed, no one gets hurt. Just no indefinitely rising undead population.

The number of wights that a revenant can control varies depending on the skill of the revenant in question, but it never goes higher than the triple digits so far with only Urth being witnessed controlling more than a thousand wights as once.Hopefully that answered most of your questions, and if I got some stuff wrong hopefully @Oshha can correct me

They won't just sit there if we try to interfere with their vassals like that, it's clearly a hostile action. If we deliberately take actions to try to kill them off in the long run they will certainly raid us for captives then use their forest as a deathtrap we have to rush into or we death spiral.
Honestly they are not in the best position right now, after the war they had to resort to conquest to regain part of their empire back and it's just two unimpressively populated barbarian states.
Their boarfolk are their best asset and they won't won't to waste them on anything less than survival.

It should also be noted that the Caradysh get corpses for their wights from trading with Arthwydish vassals. For example, the Forluc don't mind trading their dead away to the Caradysh so long as they get proper payment.
Excellent information, I appreciate the time spent so far and it has made me wonder about a few other things.
Do our vassals' citizens get to choose if they are traded and raised?
Do Revenants choose to be Caradysh or is there some sort of thrall/coercion/brainwashing going on? (Could raised from our vassals have loyalty to their original civs)
Are there naturally born/living Caradysh and do they have access to political power?
If revenants are free willed sentients, without a morally horrific upkeep and who can respect the living, they're still a massive possible threat but I could imagine roles for undead advisors, educators, researchers, builders, miners, etc. I'd be worried about them taking levers of power or stifling the growth of living people (accumulated wealth and influence of undead). There are also concerns if their research is solely into more effective undead monsters, sacrificial magic, etc. but a lot of possibilities open up for peaceful long term coexistence.

And ironically, the Nega-Caradysh would be saying the same thing as they continue to upgrade their Vietnam!Forest.
We've never once initiated an attack on them. At least as far as I can recall.And ironically, the Nega-Caradysh would be saying the same thing as they continue to upgrade their Vietnam!Forest.

The Caradysh do indeed do what's best for them, but again, that's what every civilisation does, including the Arthwyd. Please, if you think there's something about the Caradysh that warrants taking a hostile stance against them, PLEASE think if that something can be applied to other civilisations, including our own. I am tired of having to keep pointing out to the anti-Caradysh people on this thread that the same points they make against them can be made against other civilisations that they're not advocating for war, genocide, displacement, and/or subjugation against.
The forest they're in is called the Cursed Forest by the Arthwyd, but that's it. So far as we know it's not actually cursed. For goodness sake, stop taking the Arthwyd's biases at face value.
The majority of the Caradysh is made up of mindless undead. It's still wrong to go to war against the thinking undead simply for being undead or commit genocide against them.
Their territory and current leadership are NOT hostile to us. They have 7/10 opinion towards us, which is solidly positive. They like us. We've been at peace for centuries, we trade with each other, and they don't use espionage against us. The closest thing to espionage they've done against us is give the Forluc Cararadysh advisors in exchange for metalworking, but all of that was above-board and official and, most of all, a trade between them and a subordinate who legally has wide autonomy from us, not an act of hostile espionage against us.
As for future issues with the Caradysh, they didn't join in the fight even when we were fighting Super Alexander with his Heroic Martial lieutenants, which were ideal backstabbing conditions. They're not going to risk their lives and empire fighting the most powerful empire in the world with an unbroken record of military victory that they have a positive, stable, and profitable relationship with.
Refusing to give the Caradysh bodies is not genocide. Conquering civilisations and forcing them to stop giving bodies to the Caradysh is genocide. I'm not sure if you're actually arguing in bad faith or if you're simply failing to comprehend what you're saying, but it damn well reads as if you're trying to convince people to support genocide but attempting to word it so people don't recognise it for what it is and reflexively recoil from it.
For God's sake this piece of misinformation again. No. They have not been fairly consistently the aggressors. The first war - starting before the quest even began - was started by them, then centuries later we attacked them unprovoked, then they attacked us with the aid of the Forluc whom you're not advocating for war and genocide against, and in the many centuries since then we've had peace without even a hint of the Caradysh being any kind of hostile or aggressive towards us. It's the Arthwyd who've been consistently racist and antagonistic to them, and the Forluc who wanted to go invade the Caradysh for land.
So please. Stop with the misinformation.

Alright. Here's the part that confuses me. I don't understand how stopping them from getting more bodies is genocide. Like, I get where stopping living people from having children is. That ones pretty obvious. But these are undead. Completely different means of reproduction. And more importantly, their group doesn't go away just because more people don't get added to it. They'll last forever short of being killed, at least as best as I'm aware. Keeping them from getting more of the bodies of the dead isn't a violation of their rights as thinking beings. Its just keeping the dead away. Like, its a completely different thing.
As for us attacking them unprovoked. Wasn't that in the old quest with the other timeline? I admit there's a lot of stuff for this quest, so I can easily forget things. But I didn't think we took that option in this quest.
...Does the deal bodies used last forever? pretty sure they wont, as they at least would have to deal with losses through accidents...
In which case, it is genocide as much as sterilizing their whole population would as their population dwindles down to nothing due to no fresh bodies...

If the Caradysh were to stop getting bodies altogether, they'd eventually die off. Not quickly and not from old age, but war, murder, accident, natural disaster, and so on will take their toll. Without a way to replenish their numbers, they will eventually die out.
Furthermore, mandating the population equilibrium of a race is racist and evil, and keeps being racist and evil even if we're talking about undead. Imagine if some guy came up to you saying that one human ethnicity or another cannot be allowed to grow because that ethnicity's a threat to his own, then started saying how actually he's not racist or genocidal at all so his policies are good and fair.
Nope. This timeline. In the old quest, it was the Forluc who were our erstwhile rival, not the Caradysh.
Okay, maybe there's been some kind of confusion here. My understanding is that the Caradysh require the living to create revenants. The dead bodies are only useful for wights. My issue is with them getting major numbers of wights. If the living want to convert to revenants that's on them and they can join the Caradysh or not as they will, being thinking feeling beings. But the numberless hordes of the mindless dead is not something I'm cool with. And I want to limit that.
Also thank you for correcting me on the timelines. That parts had me confused for awhile now.

In that case it wouldn't be genocidal, and limiting the accumulation of robots can be ethically and morally justifiable. However, taking that stance is massively antagonistic and is way inferior at maintaining a stable peace than diplomacy and abstaining from reckless aggression.
Okay, great now we are on the same page. My concern is that we don't really know how many robots they have. The mindless wights. And I'm very worried about the potential for those to snowball. Now, from what we've learned they can only have up to triple digits per revenant. And usually closer to 30. I didn't know about that before Oshha came in and told us not long ago. I was under the impression that they could lead an army in the dead of night to one of our villages/cities that doesn't have walls, sack it, and turn all of those into more wights, and snowball like crazy. That's what I was wanting to limit them for, the potential there is just crazy dangerous. If they don't have that option. And this isn't the timeline where they've attempted assassination on us, attacked us, and all the rest. Yeah, diplomacy makes a lot more sense.

As a general rule of thumb, being an undead faction isn't especially advantageous. They could indeed get more and more powerful through victory, to the point where they can beat us. But they're not alone in this regard. Victory makes every civilisation stronger, makes them more able to score bigger, more frequent victories. When you secure a settlement, you get stronger whether living or dead, and if you defeat an enemy army, they get weaker whether living or dead. An undead army can replenish its losses, but so can a living one.* The safest path forward, as well as the best one, isn't with a preemptive strike, it's by building walls, maintaining the peace, and growing in all the ways a civilisation can. Attacking the Caradysh unprovoked is wrong and a bad idea.
*Rome was rather infamous for it in the Punic Wars.

It was the end of an era. Evatine the Triumphant, Cadlon of the Arthwyd and Champion of Arthryn, was now dead. She had ruled the Arthwyd Empire since the Nersondur Invasion and had ended up being the longest reigning Cadlon in the history of the Arthwyd. Yet that time had passed and Evatine the Triumphant had gone to be with the Goddesses.
Even as her absence was missed, life went on and the Arthwyd Empire did not slow down just as it did not with the death of any other leader. A new Cadlon was chosen, the priesthood carried with its duties as usual and day to day life continued on as normal for the average individual.
The biggest change was a new invention, which one community came up with to aid their harvests and quickly spread though the rest of the Arthwyd. While the Arthwyd had ground up crops into flour before the invention of recordkeeping, it had previously been done by hand with a mortar and pestle. Now some enterprising individuals had figured out how to create what they called a mill, that could be used to more efficiently grind up wheat into flour and some versions of it could even be pulled by animals.
Other good news within the Arthwyd Empire was the result of the expeditions adventuring into the Sunset Mountains, located between the Arth Coast and the Western Coast, the explorers had found multiple deposits of valuable ore. Over the last generation, the Arthwydish had uncovered locations for a pair of copper mines, a gold mine and most excitingly of all, a second Mithril mine.
Unfortunately, not all of the adventuring expeditions had turned out as well. Before her death, Cadlon Evatine the Triumphant had convinced the Arthwydish to look closer to home over further aboard when exploring the unknown parts of the world. Because of this, one daring band of adventurers had looked south to the Lowlands and sought to be the first to successfully explore the Great Mountain that dominated the Lowlands.
For as long as anyone could remember, nobody had dared to climb heights of the Great Mountain. The oldest legends spoke of how bold and daring individuals had desired to see what the Great Mountain had to offer. All of these legends had the same fate for the brave explorers, death at whatever secrets Great Mountain held and to this day, no one knows what the Great Mountain hides. Not even ancient beings like Urth the Everevil or Arthryn back when she was mortal had tried to reach the peak of the Great Mountain.
The Arthwydish adventurers wanted to uncover those secrets and for the first time in generations, humans climbed the trails of the Great Mountain.
None of them returned, their fates remaining mysterious and unknown as like all of those before, they vanished into the heights of the Great Mountain and had yet to be seen again. The only thing that could be confirmed was that their souls had gone to be with the Goddesses and that the entirety of the expedition had died.
Yet that loss was not the greatest amongst either the Arthwyd Empire or its adventurers. While several expeditions combed the Sunrise Mountains for anyone of value, one of them was slain to the last woman. While their remains were found, the investigators were unable to tell if the fallen adventurers had been killed by people or beasts.
With such an unexpected loss of life, the explorers withdrew as the Cateyes scoured what they could of the Sunrise Mountains as they sought for this potential threat. Yet they were unable to find whoever or whatever caused the deaths and after several seasons of no leads, the Cateyes were forced to call off their search as they had other priorities to attend to.

Sorry about how long this update took, but at least it is finally here. Evatine is dead now which means you lose your Genius & double Hero, but you get to choose your actions again. Beyond that, the Golden Age is still ongoing, but bad things have happened. I was tempted to have deaths of Evatine and the two expeditions result in the Golden Age ending, but I figured that would be too unfair after a single turn of having it and the Arthwyd are pretty stable as a society so they can weather some hits like this.
Other than that, not too much to say. As a heads up, the more Academies and Libraries you have, the better the Public Education megaproject is. I would say more Temples would help too, but you have already got all of those.

Sorry about how long this update took, but at least it is finally here. Evatine is dead now which means you lose your Genius & double Hero, but you get to choose your actions again. Beyond that, the Golden Age is still ongoing, but bad things have happened. I was tempted to have deaths of Evatine and the two expeditions result in the Golden Age ending, but I figured that would be too unfair after a single turn of having it and the Arthwyd are pretty stable as a society so they can weather some hits like this.
Other than that, not too much to say. As a heads up, the more Academies and Libraries you have, the better the Public Education megaproject is. I would say more Temples would help too, but you have already got all of those.
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 free to ask questions for more details and information.
