Yes, the Trelli are rich but they're in the wrong place for what the rumours are referring to, and their environment doesn't correspond at all to the descriptions.
Someone needs to die.
I just hope that they are nice swell dudes.

How far behind in Mega-Projects are we?
Could rushing out the next 3 allow us to catch up?

They will like us, and they will like it, damnit!
They live in the desert. The majority of labor force is probably peasants.

@Academia Nut, which of the current civs (or just local civs) is your favourite civ?

Like any good parent, Academia Nut doesn't have a favorite.
But we all know its actually the Not!Egyptians. Damn smug bastards keep showing off how awesome they are and make the rest of us look bad.
Nobody in RL is as nice as the Ymaryn. Who's to say that Not!Egypt is actually very nice?

Yup, all aboard the mega-awesome megaproject plan.
We'll just have periphery states do all the boring non-mega stuff. The prestige we gain from Projects should make that possible.

Wasn't the Nile river keeping the surrounding ecosystem super lush before human over harvested the place?
Where else would they get wood for those ships and moving stone blocks?

None really. I suppose the Xoh for repeatedly bouncing back. They have become a major showcase civilization for me.
I don't recall Egypt being known for their lush forests. As for boats, they initially built them out of reed. They're also not exactly known for their seafaring capability.
The key is that they have more population than us. That means that they likely have more income, more provinces, and more periphery states. It doesn't matter if we go full out on megaprojects if they still have a better action economy than we do. They'll build megaprojects faster than we can.
It's likely that we will compete with them for the Mediterranean in the future.

Me either, but i do know that they use the river to travel and trade. And everyone need a lot of wood to build a boat for any serious transportation. It's one of the things that formed the basis of Egypt economy, as apparently they are unable to build road due to desert wind and sand erosion.

Obviously we must go full yandere and burn the Xoh to the ground now so Qm will love us the best
