We gave them our technology, shiny things, regular support during wars until they got strong, the starteR (fuck you apple) funding for the marches

Ah, that's a) extended projects, which are explicitly doubled, and b) the Sacred Forest Renewal, which was a Wonder.
I am a proponent of always supporting them in war. I dislike it when people put in measly things like secondary war missions. We should commit our resources to fight off the enemies as soon as possible so we can get back to doing stuff we like.

Them being complacent because everyone comes to them. Just for trade, instead of religion/pilgrimage.

Ppl have differing war philosophies. I'm somewhat supportive of this but totally get the people who want a strong defense so we can just ignore it until they leave.

These will extend the arterial roads, and begin putting in new arteries where needed.
North - Do we really need the south? Then again, they have been pretty good about actually helping out with this new project... yeah, yeah, we feel a sense of pride towards this accomplishment, they helped out bigtime. Past generations was just trouble that couldn't be avoided. Then again, there's always trouble... oh wait, nomads are coming back, right...
Hatvalley+River - We're really rebuilding that which was lost here guys, thanks to them. Then again, we're so rich down here, do we really need the east? Hmmm... well, they do have all the best warriors, so maybe now isn't a great time.
East+Vassal - We need their armies!
Vassal - For foreigners they're not so bad...
The plants aren't quite right for that, found a trading post up north if you want access to the tall trees and pine forests and thus get to see what happens when you adapt your Sacred Forest techniques to a boreal region.
Yes. Actually, given the current vote, you're gaining authority at the end of the turn anyway. You basically got half the authority they did, and the assistance and greater connectivity the bandwagon is doing will bump you over the rounding point.
Foreign traders are permitted upon the roads with escort, and they are expected to trade with every settlement along the route as a form of toll, so most just arrive at the major trade points along the periphery to trade and then return home.
At least another two thousand years of cheesing on science values, and no social collapses along the way that might eliminate major sources of knowledge. Or social shifts that might discourage innovation or mechanization.
Even more Ymaryn is that this sort of practice is regulated, as trees have to be correctly spaced around the road, and then managed afterward. Major roads do see pilgrims volunteering to help maintain the roads one way or another along the trip. A common practice is to exchange a day or two of labour, either on the path itself, or taking over the state owed tasks of an expert mason or the like so that they can work in the pilgrim's stead if a section requires special attention. While part of this stemmed from pre-currency bartering for supplies along the way for poorer folk, it is considered to be part of the pilgrimage to offer up some labour even if you can pay for your food and lodgings with coin the entire way.
The rich of course tend to be the ones publicly planting trees very close to the holy sites along the way.
But they don't need to. Its far cheaper for everyone to go to them than to spend an enormous amount of resources building ships to reach the Ymaryn ports they don't know the location of...especially if our sailors have taken to going across the middle of the sea directly by now
Main action was enough investment to make our Glass production Dominant and contest Redshore for dyes in Valleyhome
Quite a bit, but memories are short.
Spirit Talkers probably were running pilgrimage based Center of Trade from ancient days

You know of lions and tigers and smaller felines, but the Khemetri are the ones with the semi-tame, semi-friendly ones wandering around. They have probably managed to hitch enough rides that there is a stable population in Trelli at the moment.

But yeah Cultural Homogeneity is key to making our Ymaryn civ work. Thankfully the roads are helping put this all together so it doesn't blindside us, but doesn't solve them by itself.
Create more interdependence of goods and services, ensure that those goods and services are easily accessible, always available, without risk of being disrupted by outside forces.

The kings and lords might have blamed us for their civs death, but do you think the descendants of the refugees who fled to us would see it that way? As far as they are aware, it was only the Ymaryn intervention that saved as much of their society as it did.
