I do too.I.. have a strong temptation to just get them to marry each other
They are just so... perfect for each other.
But alas... That ship hath sailed.

So because the chance of activating the disadvantage is small, you choose the option which costs us Econ, gives us nothing, requires actions, and has a small chance of disadvantage over the option which has literally no downsides?

The dipo hero didn't take the four sisters home from the update. Do correct me if i remember it wrong.
And the first Martial hero took wifes as method of solidifying loyalty among the tribes.
So, it's not explicit one way or another.

It's not exceptional. Harems are normal in the Northern provinces. Crwiid set the precedent, and his sons all follow it.

I'm not convinced we need to switch to a hereditary system. Sure it's the normal way for things to go, but it was already the normal way for things to go - if we were fated to end up hereditary, our current leadership system wouldn't exist.
And with our various ways of avoiding Stability hits and our relatively high Stability, I think we should take a hit and get some extra Econ. Baby Boom's gone!

It is impossible for us to become a "normal kingdom" without land ownership. The power of the ruling class is derived from the administration. that said a hereditary system will happen regardless. I would rather it happen under a heroic female character to help with gender bias.
I meant all the tribute "wifes". Marry the HK to the Nomads. Tada

[X] The People always let in those that come to them (Chance of stability loss, +2 Econ)
I want to focus on the immigration choice here for a second. We're at +2 Stability, which certainly does mean we can afford more refugees. But remember we're going to have to Main Study Metal soon to take away the debilitating belief, and that will cost stability. I'd rather keep stability in reserve for this and for whatever other situations come about; the Econ in my opinion isn't valuable enough to be worth it.

It is not a part of our political structure because we've repeatedly chosen to make it so; if we choose to cement the alliance, we will be quite influenced by HK culture where assassinating the king is a part of the political structure.

but he mentioned that 'his wives would cite his sexual prowess'
It's explicit:
The Stallion Tribes have harems as the standard. Which is why he's reluctantly saying that Magwyna should adopt a harem and spread the practice so that all the chiefs are married to the sisters of all the other chiefs because obviously it's the best solution

We can't assume we won't be invaded ever. Also, I want my watchtowers for communication and rest stations, unless you want to manually build the watchtowers?
We should do things that make sense for the Ymaryn, not what make sense for other kingdoms.
Sorry, marrying the daughter of HK is not "assassination politics".
Sounding more and more like scaremongering I'm afraid.

I've rephrased my original post to better get my point across. Basically, we have enough options open that most people wont go for assassination, and those that do would probably do so anyway, regardless of family ties.

Which part? The advice clearly stated spreading the marriage candidates among the northern families, with the King's son taking hand of Highland Kingdom's lady.
So citing your source?

For the nomads as a whole, yes.
No.
Ehhh... if they attacked someone for poor reasons you would be obligated to defend them but you could probably rightly go "We'll keep your people safe but we won't help you attack", which would annoy them but still mean that they could swing harder because they wouldn't need to maintain a defensive reserve.
Hmmm... the Stallion Tribes are a good 500-1000 km from Valleyhome I would say.
Actually, his embarrassment came from the implication that would get back that he couldn't and thus his wives would tease him that he was losing his touch.
To paraphrase Order of the Stick "I've always wondered what Heroic Diplomacy looks like under the hood."
