I wonder, considering we're supposed to be the nebulous zeitgeist of the Ymaryn, would such a consensus lead to cultural traits?

Does that mean a double update today?

Seems entirely reasonable at this point.

How very Crow. Keep your eye on that shiny brother.
They laughed their way through five war missions last turn. This turn we have a whole other civilization itching to start a whole other war with us, pls an ally who needs help in ANOTHER war.
Do what everybody smart does with united nomads. Buy them off until they fall apart, then use our superior tech to purge the shattered pieces on our own terms. This sort of thing is the whole reason we have the saltern. Do not take the Horde head-on.

@Academia Nut Do we just keep rolling shit, or are these nomads just a big step ahead in martial tech/stat?

No don't give AN ideas! We are more often split in opinions than in consensus. Next we know there will be dozens of factions in our government.

The reason they laughed off our first main war missions was because of crit fails. Since the crit fails depleted the Marches of their martial, the subsequent missions were even more costly.

Actually they only tanked a 2x War Mission and a Secondary.

I don't think the stallion tribe actions are close to 1:1 in power level to our normal actions. They're still just one province.

I think ...
Main Grand Sacrifice
Sec Proclaim Glory
Sec War Mission Nomads
Would be a good selection for our future Main Turn. We need more stability, Proclaim Glory would give us back max legitimacy, and the nomads get attacked delaying our losses.

You rolled shit and they critted and spawned a Great General.
It's nowhere near thick or deep enough to do more than slow them down a little.

We really need our provinces to take some expand forest options next time we're on Expansion. Will they do that only after exhausting all settlement options?

Less a trait about achieving consensus/failure to achieve such. But more a trait to represent the gut level, fundamental refusal this thread (and hence the council) has to contemplate bending in a defensive war. I mean think about what this consensus represents, an abject refusal to even contemplate sending the nomads tribute/surrendering in the face of said aggression. Presumably this is at least somewhat indicative of how the populace feels about fighting for their brethren.

Here is the Scale[x] Keep Fighting
[x] Resettle large numbers (3 Econ and Martial transferred)
@BungieONI, could you repost the exterminatus scale? I'm not sure 3 is high enough...
This could work if we want to do that.
Main War Mission Nomads
Secondary Change Policy Offensive
Secondary Settle Bleeding Cliffs
Works on Econ and Pushes them back. The Provinces will help. Probably getting hit with a 5-6 times War Mission should give them pause. Pause we use to bum rush Iron.
I swear, this is the tax vote all over again.
Nomads are naturally combat monsters when they unite. United, their population is larger than ours, entirely mobile, and trained as warriors from birth. That's not a big deal when they're as busy fighting each other as anybody else and mostly interested in raiding, but when they all unite behind a single leader you say "Yes, sir" and keep your damn head down until he passes away and his kids start fighting each other.

At this point I think it would be safe to close the vote. I'm pretty sure the consensus is unlikely to change.
