I would love some kickbacka in form other than salt.
That white stuff is so cheap i need to pay people to take it away.

Aww, I feel special now
Was going to post an addendum to it, but let's wait and see what shakes out this (mid) turn.

Lemme guess,
it's either gonna be something very anti communist. Or maybe anti secularist.

His mother is going to be dead before mid-turn anyway. So I don't know why he would launch a coup, unless he is a fanatic for enforcing his particular brand of theology.

Or maybe it's another stallion for Heir and people will pull another the stallions are untermunch... Er.. not the right choice.

Yeah. If he does kill his mother, the alternative of letting him rule would be pretty ugly too. If he just tries to extort a retraction from her... also not great.
Ah, yes, our choice on how to treat religious backing.
I don't think it will be that simple, but this likely stems from 'causes trouble for the heir,' from last vote.

I just noticed something, for all the talk that religion should be separated from politics, the thread is all to happy to have the politics dictate to religion...

It's his election campaign.
Plus, he might simply be really mad at her for mostly ignoring him throughout his childhood, then sabotaging the one thing he really committed to.
He is already the heir, so his position is secure, unless there's a way for the nobility to kick his ass out.

Huh. It does take a Main and 2 Econ ( and 5 Diplo and 2 Martial) so it fits, but I thought the consensus was that the 3 action 6 Econ Saltern wasn't part of the 5 minor action and 8 Econ cost.
@Academia Nut Can you confirm that we got the second part of the Saltern hint when Greenshore was built?
I've had this under "Things to Discover" for the longest time. I'm surprised nobody got around to telling me it might have been wrong.

Stability 3 is a great boon then. If we started the last Tax Crisis on S3, we would've probably succeeded.
I do not recall much arguing for separation of church and state. Most of the arguments have been for subordination of religion to the secular government.

Yes, the sequence of events was to build a second saltern and then found a trading post.

Sounds like it's probably going to be separate heros for separate factions. I'll roughly guess a Stallion hero that comes with the bonus of integrating the Stallions but moving our capital away from Valleyhome to a more central location. A mystic shaman hero who wants to build temples and libraries but also give the shamans vast power. The current heir who has a vast network of support from the politicians in Valleyhome but wants to use religion to ascend. Plus an admin hero who wants to expand and rush a Palace mega project but wants to use DL to delegate. Those four choices seem enough to fracture the thread.

So, massive potential for passive income here
.I wonder whether the "should have done this sooner" mechanic you talked about was building more salterns, which we can do in a turn or two each. Would make sense. With enough of them, all our regular expenses would be paid without costing regular actions.
Four heroes sounds ludicrous, even three was pushing it. Further the notion of moving the capital way from Valleyhome of Sacred Forest is impossible. Nowhere else has the administrative pull to actually run the state. Other than that good points.

I don't understand your thinking here.
If you can saturate the market with salt, it means that you're basically a hyperpower and that all your concerns will be internal.
Put it this way: we already have enough trouble just focusing internally. If the external situation is basically a non-factor, we can focus on resolving issues caused by social development.
If we have four heroes, I eat my hat.
Because it means that the Ymaryn are complete bonkers magnificent.

There's been a number of possible mechanics back when the post came out. Black Soil was a candidate we finally ended up using but it didn't unlock a new mechanic. Aquaducts got us a True City.
There's always been hope of a Blackbird Espionage/Intrigue mechanic.
I don't think any of the mechanics we've unlocked so far have really made us look back and regret our decisions, so it's probably something we haven't unlocked yet.
However, the one thing that's been obviously missing from the start is a progress/quality tracker for Trails. We have several extended projects that have progress trackers and even normal projects (walls/watchtowers) that track progress. It's suspiciously absent for Trails even though connectivity is very important in this day and age.
While we're discussing possibilities, we don't have 100% for minor walls. Maybe we get a legacy out of it.
