Veekie is thinking that centralization provides resistance to disease, etc. I suspect it will help somewhat with our midturn responses to crises in general instead.
We've taken New Trails as a main many times. The additional effects are almost always communications improvements, we've basically never seen innovation there. Dam or Golden Age are how we get those tech upgrades for materials to build better types of trails.
Disaster resistance. Centralization provides it, cities make us more vulnerable.
That fourth option might be a bit of a . . . tall order.
Actually, we have the Groomed Trails technology, which is the next step up from "Trails that formed because people walked over this grass a bunch". I believe we only got it in the last few turns, too - certainly after our last New Trails action.
No thought required; AN explicitly told us that negative centralization is what made the original lowlander civ blow up in response to disasters.
Not sure what I'd support yet. True cities are new still.
I'm just pointing out that the old paradigm of that strawpoll doesn't exactly pertain any more.
That could be mediated a lot of ways. Direct disaster resistance is only one.
It spends economy, unfortunately, but it's being done because we're on the verge of fucking up our supply/demand cycle with charcoal.
Your plan instantly ends the True City state of valleyhome (3 unique actions costing econ = +3 to 9 of 10 slots, +1 automatically to 10 slots, true city gone).
Province actions are also subject to 'ordering failure'. There is also no guarantee that they will deliberately expand econ into overflow range, and in fact on a balanced policy they are more likely to simply spend econ rather than replenish it the higher it is (so as not to overflow it like you have assumed they will).
There is an AN citation, but it's buried somewhere.
No, there's exactly one way to understand what he wrote there. It's quite explicit.
HK has been prepping defenses for several turns. Bronze-equipped elites may not be enough to beat them.
On Balanced policy, the law boost can only be to Expand Econ.
Actually, AN stated that centralization is what reduces the effects of disasters way back when the lowlanders originally fell apart.
Turn options have been saying many of our settlements only had marginal trails for a long time.
Explicitly in update. Please read.
We've had it since before Stonepen
We know it boosts disaster resistance the most and that nothing else does so for ALL disasters, only specific ones.
Ok. This state comes and goes, shoring up our weaknesses is more important.
He was talking about slots. Which it adds due to True City and spending any Econ
Law only boosts Econ on balanced, so unless therr is a very big crisis, they always will do it.
If we manage to get a second True City and then hit a Golden Age during it they'll be so pissed
Well, we could drop below the True City threshold if our provinces take two actions that spend econ.
