Absolute slander.
I have done no such thing.
That still leaves a chance that the martial king might mess it up more than our standard king

An admin roll that we're more likely than not to fail. It's not a small chance.

[X] Tools (+8 Econ, +2 Martial, ???)
Econ is king also if we go defensive it really synergises with it. As not only would it give us the ability to have everyone build walls but do it cheaper aswell.

I'm not salty, I just want to slaughter them to a man.
*remembers advocating not attacking the then northern nomads (before they became the Stallion Tribes) arguing against the idea of genocide*
*pushes that thought away*
More seriously though, I want to go with this for a few reasons. First off, taking metal (which the People were hesitant to study or mine), forging them into weapons, and then using them against socially acceptable targets is a great way of overturning the Weapons of the Gods belief organically or even uprade it into "We can make and use the Weapons of the Gods. We must be blessed."
So, the only point that people seem to be split about is the king. I think it sets a positive precedent - it edges into the meritocracy angle. I would actually propose that the king we establish now is only temporary and taken out of power when we want our Heroic Admin back. Rotating kings based on the situation and their skillset.

The main reason I'm voting for tools is so we're in a position to Grand Sac. I'm well aware of the impact of iron weapons, but tools will actually help us MORE.

This is wrong on both counts. Econ is not king, we just need enough of it to not die, and Weapons does that! It synergises badly with defensive. Our people want to kill the nomads, and not only would we not be killing nomads, but we would be putting iron to non-nomad killing ventures.
How? The DICE already generated two nomad hero crits and that means they can't botch. We get a martial focused leader that doesn't look to be a hero unit. There is no guarantee ... if it goes bad we get two nomad heroes with lesser star metal weapons running around.
How can that be a good thing?
Never mind the question of 1 econ and high military mean a bad weather roll or event roll and things go to hell.
This is about a vengeance strike... not having iron weapons means they can't steal them while The People vent.

It might be worth going weapons. An attack right now would be unexpected, and if we manage to kill the nomad heroes we'll get a much needed boost to stability.
Edit: Also, we can survive low economy. It'll be painful, but we should be able to bounce back especially if we hurt the nomads enough so that they can't come back.

...I'm pretty sure my current vote doesn't even use restore order, because i'm waiting until/unless AN tells us what the martial king's admin score would be. An even then, i'm mostly fine with any vote that doesn't, you know, risk hitting -4 stab because people keep forgetting this rule no matter how many times it comes up. I'd like one that either leaves us above 3 stab or leaves us with a bunch of econ to grand sacrifice with, but anything that doesn't potentially break us apart is better than anything that does...

......umm I went back and checked, the guy we're voting on isn't even going to be a hero, just someone with a higher mil score. I'm very sure if he was a hero he'd be labeled as such.

So we transition to military rule for a while. Is that really such a big deal?
Fixing the famine + not going through and terrorizing people during a famine and right after a military disaster + max Stability route. Seems logical to me.

Your logic is shit. Stop being illogical. Weapons gives us +2 Econ, which is enough to fix the famine. The route to stability is using iron to make weapons. Our people hate nomads and would like it if we used the starmetal to kill nomads. Iron will make us kill more nomads which will please our people.

As a already pointed out, no they're not. My vote for tools at least was to set up for a Grand Sac. Stop putting words in people's mouths.

Yeah, that was a typo; we've talked about <stat> heroes so much more than <stat> kings that it just rolls together that way
The hardest part of beating the heroes is finding them, not beating their warriors, i'm pretty sure
