They backed out of the attack on us. Carrot or stick? I say carrot, Stick just encourages them to join in after all.

I want to send assistance to teach them STRONG OPINIONS ON AGRICULTURE so that they have a reason to be grateful to us and not only fear us, thus cementing loyalty.
Also, cultural exchange.

A salt gift to treachery or integration of Stallion Tribe? This choice is quite unbalanced.
They totally planned to take a swing at us, but after looking at what happened, decided that taking us from both the north and south at once is suicide.
Because:
Highlanders are fighting:
-Hathatyn Colony
-Northwestern Lowland Vassal
-Valleyhome
-Redhill
Thunder Speakers would be fighting:
-Stallion Tribes
-Heaven's Hawks Tribes
-Stonepen
-Valleyhome
-Redhill
-Northwestern Lowland Vassal
They buggered off on the sole reason that once our main army is back they're fucked even if they did damage.
For once in their life, they realized that fighting a superior power is just pain.

Won't do much good. Lowlands is already magnificent agriculture property. They are more likely to be appreciate having someone back them so they don't get raided every other day. Right now though, they would just like some help cleaning up

You know, in retrospect this:
Is quite funny considering that baby grew up to be our first heroic intrigue character.

Actually I sort of hope this war continues for awhile at a low boil. I didn't think the provinces are going to want to break away in the middle of a war so it buys us time to make more trails and generally pull the country back together.

I am pretty sure our Lowland Vassal is more focused on the Xohysirri Remnants. I would not expect too much help there.

Among the nomads, if a daughter cannot kill a wolf with bow or sling, her family has to increase her dowry to make up for her incompetence.
Nomads are hard to pigeonhole with modern ideas of gender norms. On the one hand they consider carrying women off a perfectly fine honeymoon, but on the other they have so little that they need all hands on deck to keep things going, and they live in a dangerous world, so everyone has to be tough. Also, since they have a very strong "might makes right" ethos going, if a woman is hard enough to be a warrior, the nomads just shrug and go "Yup, you're an ass kicker all right" and move on with their lives.
So Phygrif's response was "Nice! A good woman is like a good horse: the more effort goes into getting them to accept the harness, the better the ride at the end of the day."
...He's kind of an ass
Yes, that is possible.

Yeah. Now that megaproject is out of the way and Xoh is smashed, the lowlands combined can't fight us. They're taking climate damage every turn and we aren't. Plus, we have both the best infantry and cavalry in the region. And they have trade disruption preventing them from full bronze production.
It's unsustainable. We WILL have time to digest the lowland minors.

In that case I think we'd want defensive policy to improve our lacking walls and watchtowers, while conducting limited war missions using our main actions. Giving the provinces too much time on offense risks shooting up our martial score dangerously high.

But he's our ass!
Still find it funny that he's probably going to be one of the most beloved kings we've ever had, even though a large part of the player base hates him.

...Is that not how popularity works? I have had several experiences tell me that the popular one is usual rude and obnoxious.
But then I am an introvert, what do I know.

I will say one thing for all of this mess: I did not have to ask the thread whether or not they wanted to commit genocide. They just elected someone who would do it for them without thinking if given the opportunity...
Wow, in that perspective that went a lot darker than I initially intended.
But yeah, that's a question I was not looking forward to asking should you guys go to war with the Xohyssiri and get to their walls. Although it does do a bit of a weird spin on the question of complicity, in that you sort of handed a loaded weapon to a known killer and then pointed him at someone you didn't like.
There is a tendency for the great people of history, the ones who shaped history - or at least were there at a moment of transition to put their stamp on the process - had a tendency to be profoundly unpleasant people in many ways. The drive to reshape the world does tend to do that, in that other people are a part of the world and you need to have a certain sort of drive that disregards others.
