The lack of natural barriers just makes it an unappealing prospect, because given a few generations the nomads will always return in force. Better to expand slowly and defensively.

It is likely the only direction to exand for mid-long term without making war to much a part of our civilization though, and with so many people we can afford to do much effort for less gain.
Is this EVERY TURN?

Main turn, just like the payout for the saltern.
Seems l8ke. Look at the stats post.

Uh no I think you mean either library , place to the stars or temple because a ziggurat is just a pointless vanity project with no practical or religious purpose

New Shit:
Rando Note: the Temples megaproject might increase our ability to generate mysticism, which would be nice. We'll have to start doing Study Actions to make this trait worthwhile, though, so doing PttS might be better.

@Academia Nut Art overflows into Mysticism, right...?

My guess is both Temple and Library affect Mysticism, but Library will have the stronger interaction with the value.

Synergy? Synergy! Build a network of temples with a bigger one at a central location (i.e. Valleyhome), perhaps get bonuses? Either way, it definitely solves the Mysticism problem!

Diff Checkers:
Diff Checker (Actions)
Diff Checker (Civ Sheet)
So we rolled +1 on each trade mission, which is annoying :/ still, at least it pays it back.
Econ 10 -> 12 [-1]
+2 from refugees, but the true city malus shows up
Martial change is just from changing econ, again. (11 {14} -> 11{15}

Damn, stability went down from 2 to 0, thanks to the sacred warding testing and the refugees...
Prestige 9 -> 13, 2 from true city, the other 2 presumably from wiping out the nomads so easily
"Tested Observation" is new
XD
For comparison:
So definitely stronger, but honestly might not be worth it yet... D=
Ouch...i was expecting True City to be somewhat bittersweet, but i'd expected a stronger bonus to go along with the tradeoffs... hopefully there's narrative boosts to "innovation and invention" and the like... @Academia Nut is the "when spending econ" a "once per turn" or "once per action" deal?
Note, we've maxed out potential chariot improvements for now.
New mine options--definitely want to do this main, not piecemeal, when we get to it.
Vineyard option, might honestly want to just use a secondary...
We've eaten up a lot of slots, and the limit for true city is lower than i'd expected...
As some speculated, the second mine only uses one forest slot, though we should expand more before we get the new mine/quarry.
Prestige boost unlocked this again.
Wow, western wall is already integratable...
"Verge of innovation"; we should take this at some point...
No stability loss anymore.
No stab, plus new fluff text.
New fluff text.

HOW UTTERLY FANTASTIC.
So True City is going to chew up our econ and then spit it back out, along with giving us better innovation rolls and other unknown benefits. On the other hand, this is a nice auto Econ slot regenerator, so I probably don't have to panic about this.
This though, this we kinda need to panic about. We have no good way to reliably generate Mysticism.
...Study Stars in our future. Lots of Study Stars.
So @Academia Nut because you just started adding new threadmarks to informational posts, would you mind terribly much to throw up a post detailing the overflow mechanics and attaching it to the Informational threadmarks?
