[X] Trade mission to the Metal Workers (-1 Diplomacy)
Metal Workers should have the best idea of what's going on. And no way in hell are we losing more martial by sending men into the Steppes.

@Academia Nut please tell me that none of the options above will result in the Carrion Eaters from trying to do this on purpose? Because that might be a little too Squik for me. Really don't want to be the ones to discover lobotomies.

Don't tell me this is some kind of divine retribution for working iron...Can anyone make sense of the prophecy? I'd like to say that the spirits in this world aren't real, but the Spirit Talkers seemed to know what they were doing.

What should be done?
[] Stockpile resources for the return of the Doom Comet (+1 Stability if over 5 Econ by mid-turn next turn, ???)
Why thank you AN for a Stability option. Yoink.
It feels about the right time for the DOOM comet to come back.
He's probably sick but hey.
Try to find out what is going on?
[] Trade mission to Thunder Horse (-1 Diplomacy)
I feel cultivating a good relationship with the Thunder Horse could be beneficial in buying time until we kick them out of the Lowlands influence. Could be convinced otherwise.

It could still be fake, the free Stability could easily be a "the government has been seen doing something" sort of thing.
So we take Econ actions while on low-ish Econ. Oh no, whatever shall we do.

I say we take the comet action, either he somehow connected the dots somehow that the comet would return or he ist made it up is false & we observe that injuried people don't know what they are talking about, either way it's an easy way to gain Stability
you are risking our settlement here, you know ?

He's a carrion eater, so he started as a shaman. Maybe he spotted the last two records of the great comet were a certain number of years apart?
Ah, It's an extension rather then a bypass. extending the distance and..
hmm..
Just start of something nifty for the elevation map I'm doing, and a geological event would explain a lot about the valley and the peoples history.
anyway, easy enough fix, though I'm going to have to change a bit on the elevation map now..

Econ 4 -> 2 (+2 +1)
From all the settlements; we'll have 5 econ at the start of next turn
Martial 6 -> 10
As expected
Art 2 -> 3
As expected from dip overflow
Mysticism 2 -> 0 (+2)
From main settlements
Damn
I bet they got a bunch of prestige from being the first in the area to hit True City...and apparently while they were licking their wounds they had good enough diplo/art/mysticism to hit golden age...Hmm...Stability is nice, and i think its hopeless to try and avoid our people believing prophecy... But if there is no comet, what happens? Also, fuck we cant do the mine next turn, or it'll end up "proving" the weapon of the gods trait if the comet does show up...
I think the MW had had something interesting a bit ago? THat might have just been the sacred pots the iron guy stole...

When we open the mine next turn our econ problem will not be one any more. So help me we are opening that mine next turn.
My vote for now.

I mean, we've made peace with the nomads in the past, but it never lasts. Their entire culture revolves around raiding, and buying them off with trade or tribute will only work in the short term...look how it worked out for the Romans. The only solution is to reduce their numbers until they're not a threat, while also expanding ourselves and building up fortifications/military and developing new weapons.

If the doom comet does come, then opening the mine will probably lead to "everyone 'knows' that the mine brought the comet, we must seal the weapons of the gods back where they lay or face the consequences!" midturn vote...

My thought to opening the mine and "proving" the belief when the comet comes > I do not give a flying shit.Econ 4 -> 2 (+2 +1)

We need to open the mine next turn.
We will have other opportunities.
@Academia Nut
How did we lose 2 mysticism? [Main] Carrion Eaters should only consume 1 mysticism.

Fuck that noise with a rusty iron pike dipped in shit.
I do not see it as a viable option to come up since we already have push back.
