Maybe. Pretty speculative, so I wouldn't count on it personally.

Support for giving a dam does appear to be thin on the ground around here, yes...

cool, it seems inevitable to me. Or at least as speculative as thinking that parentheses mark an absolute path in evolution.

Offer is still open: convince me that the dam will be the best way forward for increasing the number of actions we can take, and I'll support starting it next turn (barring all-consuming emergencies, of course).
With more actions, we can get all the things.

Right now i'm trying to choose where is the perfect place to place the dam, and right now we need this Puquios - Wikipedia to make it truly, truly usefull, in a way where we can turn the steppes on a humid area. Do th e Puquios inside the floodarea, them build the dam, and let the water infiltrate under a giant area of the steppes.
I like stacking technologies...

AN already replied to you: nothing will increase the number of actions we can take.

Yep, from what i know the some of his quests got spoiled because of actions bloat.

Well, there's still the option of indirectly increasing actions through periphery states. Which emphasises the new March(es) option to the north.
Nothing can increase the number of actions we control directly, but we can increase the number of actions the People take as a whole e.g. by adding provinces.

dam increases their strength by providing the option to build one or more dams up there to create more arable land

So actions will have more impact, then? In the same way that currently, our main War actions have more effect than Hatriver's independent actions because we have more people? Fair enough.

Not to mention that having more provinces increase the stat totals we possesses.

Since most actions that periphery states can take cost Econ, this is a good point.

puquios are much more impressive to me. Qanats are basically just horizontal wells.

Qanats allow for windcatchers and Yakhchals, though

So, too, could puquios.
The main difference between the two is that puquios rely on wind to propel the water whereas qanats rely on gravity and seem to use the wind only to provide cooling.

So...are you two aiming to build up our technology and population density until we become a single city-state that takes over the Iron Age world with ICBMs and tanks?

Well. Nothing particularly against it, except that I'm pretty sure other states will ultimately grow faster than us that way. Despite the administrative overheads, the game mechanics do seem to favor taking more land over improving the land.

That's biased by the lowlands. All we have to do is invade there and it will be fine.

I'm supportive of the idea if other nations will stop crashing into each other.
Mainly because it's a healthy outlet for populations to release their tension. Betterment of self image and increased art appreciation are excellent as well.
