I mean, i also think we didn't gain cap, i just think we still have the same cap; our system works more or less the same, just with different (in many peoples opinions worse) hereditary situation.
Thats fine. I'm just extremely leery of reenacting the Stallion Tribes situation because nobody thinks a solid road network is important to a major civilization. Ancient China and Ancient Rome waged war on the power of their economy, but their extensive roads actually made it possible to keep their gains from drifting apart.
There's a reason both empires built roads that lasted to the modern day, if by different methods(Rome's roads were very well suited to moving armies and stone around for their construction and fortification projects without wearing out).
Ugh, yeah. Did anyone notice that our current Expand Forest land is almost at full capacity? Should we take this action next turn, this turn, or never?
Current Forest situation:
-Valleyhome - Maxed out. New forests will eat farmland.
-Redshore - Maxed out. New forests will eat farmland.
-Stonepen - Too dry. New forests will be sparse because the terrain can't support more without bringing fresh water or eating into pastures.
-Northshore - Too dry. New forests will be sparse because the terrain can't support more without bringing fresh water or eating into vineyards.
-Southshore - Room for more?
-Redhill - Room for more?
We'd probably want to Survey before more forests, since once we grow them we won't be able to find the minerals.
Sell me on it. My goals are to Foster our religion as conducive to study and work, with a second primary goal of preventing the relegation of women to the household. Please explain to me, with some kind of source, how the naked lactation kink fantasy would help with either of those.
Okay, based on those priorities:
-Mother
--Poor Study. Emphasizes having more children.
--Okay(?) Work. Emphasizes getting more work done by the simplest method: more dudes.
--Worst Womens' Rights. Emphasizes role as childbearing.
-Matron
--Poor Study. Emphasizes Traditional knowledge and the natural conservatism of elders to new ideas.
--Neutral Work. Doesn't mention anything
--Best Womens' Rights. Emphasizes women as authority figure.
-Harvest
--Neutral Study. Doesn't care.
--Best Work. Emphasizes getting as much as you can out of the land as a divine duty. May or may not backfire, but we'd probably have options to slam brakes on later.
--Neutral Womens' Rights. The Woman Farmer is basic fact, and will continue to be because out on the farms it's just plain dumb to have half your population not work.
-Fertility
--Good Study. Follows on the same pattern set by Crow. Understand Nature's message and tend the land with care.
--Poor Work. Emphasizes the protection of the natural order, allowing for Ymaryn ideas of what is natural(this being Sacred Forest, the whole of visible 'nature' for a week's journey in any direction is artificially maintained). Will make lucrative but damaging farming practices contraindicated. May have long term payouts...or not.
--Neutral Womens' Rights. She's a force of nature, and everyone is aware of nature's wrath as drought, famine and disease...but the role is not very human.
That said given your phrasing I doubt you're interested in this, since you've already made up your mind.
