I agree with this
We would've succeeded entirely if it weren't for the Stallion assholes.
Cute, the only reason the Stallions were a thing was because you tried to push to hard.
But, as AN said, their existance was scripted. Someone was bound to object to it.
And considering what the STs did for us since then, I think they've more than earned their forgiveness.
St-St-Stallion-kun! No baka!
The stability loss wasn't caused by the faction. If we had crit failed against the nomads, instead of crit succeeded, and the Stallion Tribes never formed, we still would have lost stability. We pushed too hard, too fast, and it caused extreme economic and social harm. Many of our farmers weren't farming, our artisans weren't producing, nobody knew what was expected of them. This was represented by the loss of stability. The Stallion Tribes were just telling us that we were causing massive harm to our civilization, they weren't causing it themselves.
Oh yeah, definitely. I will always hate the Young Stallions for ruining a great thing and holding us back by centuries, but I have to give respect to the Stallion Tribes for shielding us from the nomads. Whatever our differences, at the end of the day, they're still Ymaryn.
Like it or not the tax as it was, was a failure it was way too complicated for the people and SOMEONE was bound to oppose it due to that had we just gone with the tax we have now and slowly move to the tax people wanted OOC we would have made it.
We're at stability 2.
Yeah but if an opposed hero hadn't spawned we would of had more leeway during the crisis and we were close enough that one more turn might have allowed us to meet the requirements.
But then we would have one of our secondaries locked with fighting off nomads so no we wouldn't have been able to complete it
(To bring up the old argument again...)No, The Law (or something related) was explicitly a major and expected benefit of stressing the system. All went roughly According to Keikaku. It went a bit further than some expected, but I'm really not sure why anyone would expect otherwise. I went against it since I felt that we had other things to deal with at the time that were more important than stressing the system, but that's what people wanted and expected to get.
Personally, I rather suspect we would have unlocked The Law for most of the picks other than "no, what we've got is fine."
There is spectrum between we beat the nomads no more warmissions required and we crited against the nomads causing a hero to form and a March to be spawned. If we had just beaten the nomads back our chances of passing the tax would have increased even if the young stallion movement would have eventually spawned a hero.
Actually we were far away from meeting the requirements. Even now we still don't have full literacy.
