I rather integrate them and deal with the social problem rather than letting theme secede. Right now, they also have a stranglehold on our Northern provinces.

The problem is that people seem to think that we can integrate them without compromise. It doesn't work that way.

Much of railway development was done in mines. The uneven surfaces make it quite difficult to roll a cart, so some form of rails for a wagon to ride on is natural. It's not too far from that to actual railways.
So, it's something we might pick up on while trying to deal with Observance and Weapons of the Gods.

Oh man if we get all these we will be so bullshit
Maybe. It's also something that you might see used in theaters to roll in things and people.

Oh yes, do go on about the unicorn who needed to delve into black magic that ate his brain and mutated his horn
The unicorn who had a single spell to her creation and held off Twilight for a bit by modifying a preexisting spell using the elements as a battery.
The other student taught by an alicorn alive for millenia. Right
The unicorn who's special talent is shields makes a big shield. Whoop de doo
*yawn*
By all means, continue trying to use extremes to justify generalization such as unicorn supremacy in a kids show about friendship. I am sure we are all very excited.
Oh dear
Was there ever any doubt?
Depends. Our core provinces massively outpopulate them, and have enough excess labor to produce significantly larger amounts of art and culture, as well as a longer continuous body of tradition to call upon for authority. Given higher connectivity, the Northern provinces are going to be affected significantly more than Southern provinces in the cultural merging, though it is unquestionable that some backflow will happen.
Heck, I consider a limited backflow to be beneficial. But the longer we wait on this the less likely it's going to be reconcilable.

So because our miners are specialists we have a greater chance of developing this compared to the case if we choose halfexiles for the job.
My technology list is stuff that I researched and learned about, some of which are out-of-the-box solutions.
If you do some research and trace the origin and history of their development, I'll be happy to integrate them into the list.

I agree. We should at some point start The Dam, however, in order to make certain our core provinces stay in the position of massively outpopulating them. We should also do the aqueduct @ Redcoast relatively soon after doing it in the north.
Agree w/ more or less all of these; we probably have some form of geometry, definitely have animal breeding, probably have handlooms, maybe have the sundial, idk if I want the turnplough... it leads to erosion. There's an alternate version that just does it shallowly, though.
Why do you want to invent gnomes? (

TLDR of all arguing from the last 30 or so pages, actually. Of course, then people start to argue that 1 more turn of delay is totally fine.
Dwarfs are the single best fantasy race. Fite me.
They're all stuff I picked from Wikipedia's entries on late chalcolithic and early bronze age a while ago. I'd do more research but I'll be away from the computer for a few more hours yet.

we may also see primitive cranes coming out of theatre, if we start developing it. Gotta have a Machina for your gods to come from after all

Elves are the single best fantasy race. Fite me back!!!
Magic + Immortality + Ecological Focus Resulting In Animal Slave Races = pwnage.
(actually, I prefer mer-people, djinni, vampires, gods, and sentient mountains, rocks, and forests over elves but none of these are one of the standard 3.)
Shortage of labor is a great way to spur technological development.
They're also solutions that's basically more or less inevitable. It isn't inevitable that we'll use wagonways or cableways for widespread transport, or that we use drums to communicate complex messages, or that we have a public education system, or that we even have black soils.
If you can find examples of innovations that we aren't likely to see in classical antiquity or the fertile crescent, that would be great.

Dwarfs all the way! Grumpy stubborn folk with a penchant for solving problems, whether engineering, geological or the ones that require hammer to the face.
Festivals done by a heroic admin+diplo hero (festivals depend on those stats) should be quite helpful. But honestly, just better ability to communicate goes a long way.
Depends on what we're trading off after all.
Some things are time limited. Some things help in other ways. Some things open up opportunities...some things compound the problem.
Currently looking forward to see what a Heroic Administrator/Diplomat does to the New Trails considering it's an Administration/Diplomacy thing AND the Admin bonus...
Festivals would be great, provided we have something to celebrate. Otherwise, like with Proclaim Glory, it could succeed at sending the wrong message

Yep, but a lot of them are building blocks upon which we can build to get a wider variety of techs. So I figured the earlier the better.

I would like a FULL INFRASTRUCTURE turn followed by Festivals turn. Should be pretty helpful.
They are good at hitting things too, indeed.
But ultimately, dwarfs are problem solvers. Leaking pipe? Clearly subpar not-dwarven work. Need the tank? Call dwarfs. Need somebody to hold the line? Same. Need gold? Dwarfs are your best bet.
Alsi, I suspect we have bookkeeping, what with our writing being created by administrators to manage stores.
