I consider that the literal biggest loss in this entire quest, geez...
Can we begin researching it again? Do we have any books about it at least?

How It Works: The Decline of Sacred Forest Traditions
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Climate shift means that none of the old records make any sense anymore and attempts at replication have ended in failure. Everyone assumes that either the ancients were talking out their asses, were straight up mistaken, or something funky is going on. Most of the best scholars assume the first two and thus don't make serious attempts to replicate it, since obviously the mistakes of the past are not worth replicating when you have the tools of an enlightened society to show you the way.
Like, part of the issue is that there was a lot of stuff that never got written down because why would you be specific, everyone knows what you are talking about. So there were old records and recommendation for action by later generations, but they assumed that there was active management the whole time and that the references being made would be understood because the reader was part of the same sacred forest temple maintenance tradition. Like, the best way to understand the records is to understand them as being written in LOLcat speech: if you don't understand the in-jokes and references it makes no bloody sense. Same with those ancient records, they have all of these internal references that a combination of loss of living tradition and linguistic shift makes even methodological recovery essentially impossible with your current toolset. Independent redevelopment will take considerable other efforts.
The People do still care a lot about forestry, just not as much as they once did.
I, too, consider this our biggest loss, and truly hope we will be able to do something about it.
I imagine once we figure out that a climate shift happened, future historians will be duly impressed by what is implied to have happened here.
Did the Ymaryn Empire build any other Wonders before they died? Any great marvels that endured the centuries like the Coliseum, the pyramids and so on?

On the bright side, once we actually figure out it, those records are going to be worth more than the rest of the library combined.
Thousands of years of carefully kept records? Wow.

Fortunately for you, the Romantic movement is about to arrive.

How big is our industry that's not under Guild control?
Is it anemic or showing signs of growth?

What industry not under guild control?
EDIT: Actually, wait, there is the possibility of infinity percent growth of non-guild industry in the near future!

@Academia Nut I suppose you can't say anything until the update on how Not!Old Fritz and the Tortun are doing this turn? I'm pretty curious how the republicans are preparing for Round 2, other than fixing their economy. I'm actually hoping for another revolution somewhere.

Damn if we can keep that rate up we'll be on Mars last turn with our time machines.

Diplomancing Tortun minors who were only partially affected by the conflict into joining up with them and fixing their economy.
This may prompt the Ochruhr to take a swing at them before the peace treaties everyone else signed expire.

So the Republic is going to unify the Tortuns? That's not good at all.
Do our diplomats think we can run interference on that to keep them isolated?

If they weren't distracted by the convention, maybe they could have, but as it is they are constrained by how much they can do.

Actually, we might have, since I believe we should only have had 7 PW for this. Since we used 1 PW for reforms.

Wait a minute, if Not!Germany will be a Republic instead of a Monarchy, does that mean Not!Bismarck will become a republican?
Scary thought.

I know, but if the Emperor declares now he won't have any allies, and the Republicans will be able to break the monarchies one by one.
How about a combo of Republican Matternich and Bismarck?
