For all we know those heroes are already gathering other tribes to them, when we catch up to them we may very well be outnumbered.
I would prefer not to leave the battle to chance against Two fucking Heroes.
Overwhelming strength is how you deal with martial heroes.

Aah now i understand, it will break face of the cargo of King, because they are seen as infalible, but because of Nobility in Humility, he is acknowledging he is not infalible.
Nice, and thanks for the time and patience.

I don't really understand this push for Tools when still voting for a Offensive. Shouldn't we deal with the current situation first before worrying about boosting the economy?
This, I wholly agree with.
If we are running them down, we will absolutely need this martial score.

Just a friendly reminder that while bad, -4 isn't game-ending bad. It is not the end of the world, nor the end of the Ymaryn. With time and diplomacy, it should be possible to re-unify with our estranged brothers.
That being said:
[X] Tools (+8 Econ, +2 Martial, ???)
[X] Leave things be
[X] Offensive (+1 Stability)
[X] No (-1 Stability, +1 Legitimacy)
Think about what the Ymaryn are. We are healers. We are workers. We are builders. And above all, we are farmers.
What we are not is warriors. We can fight as well as any fiend or monster, but it is something we learn to do. Our fields are wet with water and mud, not blood and tears. When we prey on the weakness of others, we do so not through strength of arms, but by holding those arms in a wide embrace.
We are the ones who took the weapon of the demons, disease, and used it to dispel their machinations. And now, we take the weapon of the gods, metal, and use it to make larger farms. Greater homes. Grander monuments. We shall build a civilisation greater than any other, and we shall do by turning the cursed weapons that left festering wounds in the world itself into a greater good!

Funny, I am actually picking tools because of the fluff.

To be fair, "the romans did it" is not exactly a bad argument for doing the same thing.

It's not about boosting economy. It's about not starving and breaking.
We get +2 econ from Weapons. That gives us a 1 econ buffer.
The people whose actions ultimately led to the death of the roman empire, on the other hand, is.

Look, explain to me how removing the guy in charge after a disaster has happened in favor of someone who is "better" doesn't result in things going pear shaped eventually.
We get to +1 Econ with choosing weapons.
We also will get more econ when our warriors return with the people nomads kidnapped and enslaved.

They have basically all their forces.... those guys that got offed are nomad mercs. What we have is a doubt hero unit trained army that is mostly concerned with getting away. They may never-ever encounter the People's troops. 13 military has a hell of a logistics tail. The nomads can always ditch extra loot.
And then what? The People'll have 10+ military and 1 economy. That leaves the thread with a giant military and no economy to speak of. Granted that would deter the Thunder Speakers, for a bit, but the thread goes back to no real economy surplus again. yeah.

I more meant it as part of a system based on a person's merit or skillset. Not an emergency action. But I suppose it's too much too soon right now.

Yes. Of course. One whole econ. I'm sure our angry populace, in offensive setting, will use it very sparingly. Why. It will last us generations, while they churn out everyone into warriors.
Well... 1st, we need to fail our admin roll, and trigger
-1 Stab from keeping King
-1 Stab from Restore order
+1 Stab Offensive.
(any other sequence is A OK for us)
So long he isn't an idiot (or mess up), causing him to restore order before he tells people he's ordering an offensive, it should be fine.
13 military which are only 5 military with +8 military due to iron weapons.
And our people know how to move fast as well. We do not have to carry plunder and slaves.
We will catch them.
And we have been at 1 Econ before.
The next turns will be us building econ back up, and with possibility to build iron tools to get a lot of Econ this will not be a problem.
