Well...at least they seem to be fine with openly acting beyond/outside of said obligation?
Also, @Academia Nut i'm confused...are the three heroes actually married at all? Or is this all unofficial but semi-public relationships?
...I like how our traders are apparently expected to fool around with all genders, i didn't expect that; i'd have assumed that they'd have had to be more focused on hetero relationships due to our neighbors sensibilities...
It looks like the elaborate badge system that the People use for achievements and awards has come to encompass headdressage, judging from this metaphor
Probably something limited to the very prestigious; where a skilled artisan that exceeded expectations would get a fancy silver badge or bracelet, the artisan chief that exceeded expectations would get an exotic <insert bird we have to import feathers from the Trelli here> feather to add to their headdress. That about right, AN?

A woman, with more than one man? What else might she be, foreign scum?
Only men can partake of polygamous and/or polyandrous relationships, for men are like... y-yang a-and burn away the sins of the flesh or something. Yeah, that's right, that's what I'm going for, it's 100% the word of god.
@Academia Nut This is 1000% cannon, right?

incorporate the hawk tribe to try to contain it for a bit longer, then either start salt gifting the shit out of the nomads while expanding in the north or build a giant fuck off sign and delete the trade post we have with the MW
these are our two options

Rome was fucked over by a lot of things. They relied heavily on the barbarian tribes as mercenary forces, mercenaries that they stopped paying just as their military leaders started fighting amongst each other just after the Empire had been split into East and West. It's a possibility they'll screw us over but for the short to mid-term it is so slim as to be unimportant.

Ah, no. No it does not.
Wait, maybe it doesn't do anything? @Academia Nut Is that a difference between True Cities and Free Cities?
Anyway, I don't think it's worth spending the subordinate state slot at this point, and without the Baby Boom another city is less useful.

tbf, we are slightly less fucked than the rest of the world. We'll actually have cavalry to oppose them, and hopefully enough fortifications to make us an unappealing target.

If the other civs collapse around us we can finally expand unimpeded to the lowlands and then turn the lowlands into a large forest.
...probably should hire these guys and keep them to keep the genie in the paper bag...

So, gonna be honest when I say that the decrease in centralization tolerance is a total pain in the ass, and I'm in favor of keeping Econ slots high enough that we don't get any more true cities.
However, as much as the modern day pope is a total bro, and the Vatican currently lacks a lot of the extant political power it once wielded; it wasn't always that way. At one point, the Vatican burned the world and I have no wish to give our Priests that kind of power.
[X] [Merc] Hire to the Thunder Speakers
So. I really really wanted to use our Merc company as a guard detachment for a northern trading post. Those furs and amber could fetch us some hilariously awesome prices in the southern markets and BIG TREESTM are totally awesome.
However, given that we are explicitly told that the thunder speakers are on the cusp of independence (which also means adding another ongoing player to Thunderdome: Lowland Bloodbath) I am in favor of hiring them out there.
[X] [Hawk] Yes (Hire the Heaven's Hawk Tribe on for -1 Wealth/turn, can be used to guard the north-east and potentially transformed into a March, or for regular military actions; do not count as your subordinate)
I want this option for no other reason than to keep them out of anyone else's hands. Even if we do nothing with them, I will be satisfied with that result. We have enough wealth to hire them, and enough buffer to keep them on for a long time.
They do present some fun options though. We can send them into the Thunderdome or utilize them as further buffer against their own kind. Yeah. I'm good with that. Also, given we will be dropping into negative diplo, I think this is a good idea.
[X] [Hat] Propagate March (-6 Diplo, +4 Econ, +2 Econ Expansion, +2 Art, +2 Mysticism, -1 Centralization, new territory gained)
This is necessary. We need more land to avoid more true cities, and it's in a direction we want.
Surround the Sea, for we are the Empire of The Green and The Blue.
[X] [WC] Deny request
We really don't need more iron or martial. Mostly the Martial bit, but I don't like the idea of further tanking centralization.

Obvious.
