It should be noted the plan only completes 2 [Main]s this turn. It might take 3 turns to complete the entire megaproject since the provinces won't spend the refunded Mysticism until the turn after the refund is done.@notgreat I'm leaning toward changing to your vote. On the other hand, it a) ties us into a 4-7 turn megaproject and only completes 3 of those turns and b) doesn't provide as much Econ as the Balanced turn or a goal-less megaproject turn might, though it's admittedly safer r.e. econ expansion slots.
Heroes will not fix the problems that hereditary causes. We already have a cultural identity and it's one that's accepting of outsiders. Focusing on one's ancestors runs counter to that. We also want our culture to place as little importance in hereditary as possible because hereditary is bad and never worth it.[X] [Value] Spread value (+Hero Generation)
I'm thinking we can use the extra heroes to fix any damage, and that we can later evolve it into a cultural identity.
Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah, evolving that ancestral focus would very much so add to the stratification of Ymaryn society. Then again, that's probably one of the motivations for a good chunk of the people voting to embrace it.Heroes will not fix the problems that hereditary causes.

Anti-Heredity fanatics are fearmongering as usual. Nothing new.I thought the point of the trait was to have people do more heroic things in order to be worthy of their heroic ancestors?
Why would a motivation bonus be a problem considering there is no reason to assume it is limited to martial heroes only?
The value represents a pro-hereditary attitude and a pro-military attitude. It gives greater legitimacy and social status to someone who comes from a line of warriors.
Reductionism isn't good. There are very good reasons for why we should stay away from hereditary and boiling the faction that's against it down to "fanatics and fearmongering" is bad.Anti-Heredity fanatics are fearmongering as usual. Nothing new.

Basically that this--

Blending meritocracy with functional communism is better, is something we've been doing for ages with large benefits (no civil wars in our entire history, for example), and something we should continue to do.Ofcourse I am hoping we can change history and blend nationalism with aristocracy, feudalism and imperialism, after all everything is possible on the Internet.
The trait itself?Do not bundle me with people who think wanting to make your ancestors proud is instant feudalism.
I see no mention of pro-martial bias anywhere.
Could you explain why would it not encompass other professions (proud traders or blacksmiths can easily be a thing) or, indeed, just general excellence?
EDIT: If it's as 'confucian' as I think it is, it can be more conformist influence, sure, but [citation needed] for martial bias.
I am just extremely pissed that some of this thread was straight out screaming that Mass recruitment would have led to feudalism, which was pure fucking bullshit.Honourable Death is fine on its own, but when that value is combined with hereditary, the argument of "My ancestor died to protect the People whereas yours didn't, therefore I am obviously more worthy to become chief" gains a lot more weight and legitimacy.
