Also, new faction in the lowlands would be great. More insurance against a unified lowlands means more time to build up.
 
[X] Reinforce position (Conquer new province, war with Highlanders)

Oh how uncorrupted and ungerrymanderd the new system is! (this is the last I told you so, I swear!)
 
Having signed up an account in SV mostly for this thread in particular, I just wanted to chime in and question why everyone is suddenly super eager to double down on the diplomatic incident with our only allies in the region.

[X] Attempt to capture the errant warriors and then make amends with the Highlanders (-5 Diplomacy, probable war with Highlanders)

I think the above choice would be much more in line with our Protective Justice value as well as clarifying any possible future applications of Symphony: after all, we are the ones who influenced the HK to adopt a codified version of laws, should we not be beholden to what we preach?
 
[X] Massively reinforce position (-5 Military, founds new March, war with Highlanders)

Fuck it. FARMING FOR EVERYBODY!

It also means a weaker Highlander kingdom and thus makes the most aggressive lowlander Faction, the Thunder Horse Empire have an easier time of taking over the Lowlands, which makes it easier to screw us later.
 
HahahhahahahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahHha, next joke mate
The Thunder Horse had numbers via their vassals and a new form of copper that some whispered was superior even to iron on their side, while the Highlanders had an extensive network of walled settlements giving them a far easier time when defending. Overall it was a stalemate.
Perfectly honest, unless someone get's siege were safe. (or we have some sort of civil war)

If we need to bleed off martial why not just throw it at the nearest problem?
 
Not the Crisis that some of us had been thinking but wow, is this a potential flustercuck or what?
Negative Stability + Max Military Malus Activated!
To better explain, this would normally just be a regular stability drop... buuuuuut you now also know more about the dangers of having max or over max Martial.
Lesson learned. By Crow, let us never get max Martial ever again. Tis a silly stat.

[X] Let the Highlanders extract their vengeance and attempt to make amends after (-1 Legitimacy, -3 Diplomacy, possibility of war with Highlanders, chance of spawning new faction in the lowlands)

To paraphrase what some of us had said, "Don't get stuck in the grinder." And also, Justice needs to be served. We did a bad, now we pay for it.

Because it's fucking evil! One thousand years of being the good guys and you want to throw it away for this!? For something we can fix with a mere Main action!?

This is wrong. We're in the wrong. If we attack the Highlanders, that would mean that we're doing evil. Picking the option for something as measly as a few better stats is horrific.
Well, our old name was more or less "Devils of the South". Maybe it is time to add a new cardinal direction.

Finally we are now entering the lowlands.

We need to punish these assholes for what they've done but we also need to find out whose fault this is and make them pay for it.

On a more serious note, we're at negative stability, the people are pissed and there's a great deal of confusion about the new Clan systems. Being seen to abandon a bunch of people will not look good at all. And do keep in mind we have Martial overflow and pissed warriors. What would they do if they believe the king is working against thier interests? Or worse, the king is throwing them under the buss?
