That sounds like an entire new mechanic to me. So, let's do a few main black birds soon!
Can't do anything military without spending it somewhere first. Either make another march or start losing at war.

On that note, I'm actually thinking about switching to megaproject support next turn. It'd go something like this:
[Main] ???
[Secondary] Change Policy - Megaproject Support
[Secondary] Study Stars

We'd be forced to pick up the Study Stars chain (which we really want to keep going for both the chain bonus and to pay for the Mysticism cost of Love of Wisdom).
It actually limits our actions harshly since past the first turn we'd have a single secondary free instead of two (since our main would be constantly filled with whatever megaproject we want them to switch to next) but it gives us a lot of power. We'll have to see.

Another thing I've been thinking of is making the NE march and then integrating the Stallions. We've got an even number of provinces right now so a single additional province would mean an extra action.
 
I point to the reference @Abby Normal made.

Last time AN Haddoked it was very good for us.
I think AN uses captain Haddock to mean that there were a lot of crits and crit fails the turn making everything turn chaotic. Like the Highland King died, the Eastern Thunder Horses started bulling their cousins, cholera came, we discovered tailings and bleeding cliff, and finally we headbutted the a horseman of the Apocalypse. I am pretty sure that all those crits threw out any plans AN had for the near future.

We can easily transfer a few points to either of our martial colonies, no biggie.

I'm definitely behind the policy switch, but I don't agree on the study stars entirely. After the switch our provinces will likely finish the Temple in 1-2 turns, so the mysticism drain won't be large.

Also, you're neglecting the diplo+art overflow to mysticism (factoring both in makes it seem like a non-issue, really).
 
If we're going Full Megaproject, there will be no art overflow.
I was under the assumption that we wouldn't be doing both at the same time? If we finish the Temple in 1-2 turns (from only the provinces contributing), then the mysticism drain will be gone and the Library will easily be paid for.

Edit: totally forgot that the temple costs art :p

Dear god no, make a new one instead. Transfers are horrible as actions unless we get them for free. If they take a full action slot, we absolutely 100% should avoid doing them.

Diplo overflows to Art which in turn overflows to Mysticism.

And as mentioned, we're not gonna be overflowing art, and our diplo overflow will go to replacing the art lost.

I'm a bit reluctant to use up our last martial colony slot, honestly.

Yeah, forgot that the Temple uses art. The diplo will max soon though, which will halt the art drain from the Temple (so it'll only require a small diplo/art gain to overflow it...which will be kept in place by the diplo spill over).

Still, if we switch to mega project support then our provinces will finish the Temple in about 2 turns. I don't think this demands us locking in Study Stars.

The chain of the Study Stars? That's another big reason to take it up ourselves.
 
Kinda makes it worse that he ignored her. But I am noooootttt getting into this. I'll leave that to my comrade @Omegahugger. *zip! escapes*
No, I actually liked the whole thing. It was very much a role reversal, with Hinata deciding that Naruto was her husbando and running him down to get what she wanted. Naruto took the rule of the blushing maiden, blue screening and running away because "Sempai likes me!"

If Naruto were a magical girl production, Naruto would be Sailor Moon and Hinata would be Tuxedo Mask.
Hmm.

Ehh I give up. Lailoken's speech escapes my meager Google fu to identify.
It's ancient Sumerian. It reads thus:
THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US!

We kind of need to.
Martial Overflow has caused some very noticeable issues that can only be rectified by dumping a ton of it out via a Martial colony.
It's the most effective way to solve a major issue, netting us more Warriors in the future and solving short term issues
 
Other study options probably have a hidden chain stat too. Black soil notes the amount of times it's been taken as well.
Sounds feasible but Study Stars explicitly benefits from long term and continued use because it takes generations to see the really interesting patterns in the stars.
