We'll be fighting a defensive war, and our next king won't be an Ork in human skin, so we should be able to sue for peace after smashing the Highlander armies.

No were not expanding until after we integrate at least 1 of our vassals and get the palace.
We just narrowly avoided a disaster with this gamble of a king.
Just as AN said, we got exceptional luck and made good choices to get out of the hole we dug ourselves into.
It's virtually unquestionable that we should get the Stallions integrated, I agree there. The palace would be very nice, but we won't be able to get it until the crisis is ending- and that's when everyone else will be trying to expand too.
edit: Assuming you mean Subordinate/Periphery states instead of vassals. Our vassals can't be integrated until we expand towards them first

Yep.
She's a bitch.
I dislike her if I wasn't being obvious enough when I said she and her father where Arse holes and included the argument in that little snippet into my original counter statement against your 'Crow and his descendants literally did nothing wrong' claim.
Crow was a rapist, murdering raider who was basically a Nomad except he had less of an excuse for it as there was actual food and fertile ground.
Ash was an overly proud brute who became obsessed and drove himself murderously crazy and nearly fucked everything up.
The Daugher was a vindictive, manipulative, ungrateful woman who tried to kill all Ymaryn for the crimes of one and then screwed us over when we showed her mercy.
The Grandson was decent in the end though, although his mothers influence did make me rather dislike him for a while
I am unsure if upcoming queen is an admin hero. She might manage it without the Palace. We'll have to see, though, if she is an admin hero next turn might have her determining most actions.

But while digging said hole we struck silver i.e dominant in pilgrimage and siege weapons
It does not.
We have multiple problems, and they're all aggravating each other:
1) The North doesn't feel connected to the South, and the Hathatyn remnants don't see why they're still sticking around rather than forging their own way, either. New Trails helps with this.
2) We've got vulnerable borders, and if we don't back up our vassals, we risk a Divine Stewards and Lord's Loyalty based cascade failure - failure to protect a subsidiary leads to stability losses leads to subsidiaries breaking off leads to more stability losses. We need to win all our wars and retrench to hedge against this.
3) The big one. Our civilization is too big for our current government to administrate. Roads make it easier for us to send orders around, but they also make it easier for settlements to pass their problems up to the King and increase the number of orders that the King needs to send. The Stallion Tribes alone is already pushing this; trying to add more provinces past them is certainly voting for us to shatter. Fixing this means reforming our government, either through the Palace or through trading to a less centralized government.
Keep in mind that we've been warned that the less centralized government wouldn't be able to carry out the King's expected duties, and that as such (and because of the existing dissatisfactions) it'd probably start a civil war.

I think these were more like proto-ymaryn. There used to be other tribes in the same valley as us, but we absorbed them all.

It's a quote from A Practical Guide to Evil that the protagonist tends to repeat to herself whenever she does something morally reprehensible in the pursuit of her ambitions. Basically, 'don't pretend something horrible is justified, recognize you're a horrible person even if you're doing it for what you believe to be the right reasons'.
As much as I appreciate the series, that's not necessarily relevant here considering the entire argument is whether Crow or his daughter are decent people not if they're just. The weight of the People's Justice has already fallen, at the very least, in the favor of the Daughter of Crow.

After all the posts and clarifications, I don't get how you could still misunderstand. I'll go over it again.
We currently have the Red Banner Company and they take -1 Wealth per turn. If we found another mercenary company while we still have the Red Banner, we will have 2 mercenary companies meaning we'll have -2 Wealth per turn. If we found another mercenary company after the Red Banner has died off, we will have 1 mercenary company and only have -1 Wealth per turn.
You can figure out the rest of what I was saying from my posts. Don't be wrong again please.

I... REALLY want to do this. We are the insufferable elves. This is really the only appropriate move.
Trade is better for rebuilding our stats, amd we KNOW what infrastructure we need to build, and even have a lot of will behind doing it right now.
Balanced would be a mistake, because it might well burn the stats we need for roads and temples on other projects.

After what AN says I know they won't die. This is primarily to make the war go better and end it sooner.

We don't gain or lose wealth if we have two mercenary companies since the cost would be equal to what we make from trade.

Yeah we were Pre-Ymaryn and we were inviting in everyone who wanted to join us peacefully, Crows Tribe was one of those who just ignored us and raided anyway. To absorb Crows Tribe we ended up giving them all the warrior jobs, which gave them the best women, food and eventually social positions.
It was peaceful but they took over us because of the Daughter and she did it like that purposefully via her son.

Are you seriously making this argument? Really? Are you that desperate to win an argument that you would so thoroughly miss the point?
I think that was before we acquired the sharing circle trait?

So we should recognise that Ash, Crow and the daughter were all horrible people?
Cause otherwise I don't know what he's saying here or how that applies to this debate.
