communist, communal, it's like comparing compliment and complement.
We need to both take over our entire valley into perfect management AND increase our bureaucracy proportionate to our production/population balance. Developing better granaries would help, but I feel that doing the "stick your food in a seal bucket and put water around it to leach away the heat" strategy would take a lot of effort until we develop a dam.
Consider this: the people in the lower valley thought we were weird when we came down to teach them how to properly farm our land, and incidentally to convert them to our people. Now we are literally going to a whole different country to be like "Hey, here is how you take care of trees." They'll think we're really weird but then realize that we own them.

Nah, we are gonna be considered badarse, maybe not now, but at some point people are going to look back and see us fighting and beating Mother Nature!
Climate change devastates culture after culture, pre-Kingdom after pre-Kingdom, it comes for our people, and we beat it!
We managed to reverse climate change!!
I think that our traits really shine in this case.
Harmony means that we all believe that everyone has a place in the world and so must find and accept it and Gardeners of the Land makes it so that tending to the land properly is not just something that must be done, but doing so would be disrespectful the the world itself to the point that the livlihood of the land is worht more than that of the individual or even a family.
It means that while Warriors and the like are glorified the farmers and the like still hold a special place in people's hearts as the actual gardeners.

I think taking a mega project will consume our econ no matter what we choose with it. Econ actions will just help us bounce back faster.
Also, i dont think we are acually communists i mean our people arent really equal...

What do you mean, "one day"? Our Ancestor Spirits include Gwygoytha, I fail to see how they could become more awesome.
To be fair, I think it's more that our charity and advice comes at spearpoint.

Far as I can tell we're throwing more manpower than most of them can even muster at reversing a process most of them didn't even know it was possible to fight in the first place. If word of it gets out its gonna generate some seriously weird rumours about us.

To take ANs words about the difficulty maintaining this, thete are going to be one main factors in ensuring we can keep this going as long as possible and that is increased management.
That means a system of writing to ensure that we keep track of the food. That's how we managed to ensure minimal spoilage
That also means that when we build new settlements, ensure that there is easy connection to existing communities. That's how we managed to ensure everyone's larders are full.
So that means Expand Place of Spirits, New Settlement, New Trails, Expand Pastures.
In other words just keep turtling

Probably.
From an outside perspective, The People declared a mandate to essentially clean and clear a huge swathe of land that we don't even use just because we can. We're developing technologies for it. We are even going so far as to talk to our neighbors that we never talk to in order to get them fixing their forests.
Keep in mind this is all happening while we farm enough so that nobody goes hungry, even the people mucking with the woods, and protect the northern tribes that we trade with (and are slowly absorbing).
Everyone must think we are insane.
The sad fact is, as much as @Academia Nut just has our neighbors mashing buttons, they're doing what most Neolithic societies do. Which is generally just repeat the same shit your dad did.
Yeah. One of the fun things about our civilization is that rather than hoarding our technologies we are okay with teaching others to do things properly or even force them to do so.
After all we are Gardeners and our techniques ensure long lasting sustainability and environmental stability. That means the more people follow our way the better the area becomes and the less chance of ecological collapse from happening, which is always something that is nice.
Yeah we really are wierd

Pfft, we do not defy the Spirits. We only defy those who are in conflict with our land and our people, backed by the Spirits who share our interests.
Remember, defying the Spirits mean defying Crow, Gwygoytha and every single soul who has come before us, meaning the ones we played as at the time.
I trust that no one here actually wants to do this?

Hopefully we can poach a few Confederate folks this turn. They have had contact with a lot of folks so we can get first hand information and ideas from them.
