So... regarding the rolls.
For your Innovation challenge you rolled a 6 last turn and a 1 this turn, when you've been on the cusp of a discovery for quite some time, so I decided that this indicated active suppression of innovation.
You also rolled doubles twice for mysticism related things, so I decided that it was a shaman who uncovered the conspiracy. In this instance a medical shaman who was once a Blackbird who enjoyed the mystical aspects so much he transferred over to Carrion Eater training before retiring to an inner city hospice.
He may be named Mordin.
Then there are the Metal Workers, who rolled a 1 last turn for their survey action, and then a 1 again this turn, while also rolling shit on their "general success", so I ruled that they blew up.
The Swamp Folk rolled a 1 on their war roll to keep eating the southern lowlands, the Xoh critically succeeded on their war roll, and then burned their golden age to complete a plot they have been working on for generations to get the ruling Thunder Horse to intermarry with them and prefer to live in their city and worship their gods.
The Highlanders critically succeeded on taking a bite out of the Hathatyn. The Hathatyn will either stabilize under a heroic leader with thoughts of revenge, or collapse completely next turn.
Okay, so how many mains are left on the Library? If it's more than one I can see the argument for not switching but I'd really like to swap to defensive policy otherwise.
Two to three more actions.
Why do we have [+4] Diplo? Shouldn't it be [+3]? (+1 from Saltern, +2 from dominating Dye and Salt) Is that from the Trading Post?
Nope! Every trading post can support a saltern, so instead of +1/2 after the first one, every saltern/expansion after the first gives +1 if there is a trading post to support it.
Also, forgot to update all of the prestige you got from the temple and the salt gift.
