Seriously, that's 1.25 free expand Econ actions every turn. It's insane.

Does anyone know the exact benefits of northern wood over what we currently have? Especially as related to shipbuilding?
Yeah, that's my current thought right now.

Well, if nothing else, bay boom means we can complete the palace in one go next turn.

Wahaha, We're really close to 5 stat Golden Age Ladies and Gentlemen!
Allows for building of larger ships and helps in the discovery of pitch, also helpful in shipbuilding.
Now that is a nice turn. I'm actually feeling ok about our chances of not dieing in the near future for a change. First time in turns.
Assuredly, having red martial and negative stability makes things dramatically worse, but I'm quite certain that red martial on its own will cause problems.
To that end, I'm thinking:

The east trading post is easier to support, and as such has smaller risks of Failure to Properly Support our Subordinates Sudden Death Cascade Syndrome (or FPSSSDCS) developing, while still pushing some progress on the Trelli front. Trails and parties to further cement Ymaryn oneness, while opening up the possibility of actually reaching a golden age in the near future.
A golden age culminating in a boosted Iron Age Law megaproject is my new dream goal, now that it seems slightly possible.
I'm with you on the last two, but I'm really not ok with blowing out our martial cap that hard.
Mmm, with ongoing city costs, it is only a 3 point movement a turn. I'm reasonably confident we can find ways to spend at least that much every turn.
I find that highly doubtful.
Assuredly, having red martial and negative stability makes things dramatically worse, but I'm quite certain that red martial on its own will cause problems.
That matches my understanding, yes.
As much as I'd like to get on top of the ongoing situation, I think we'd be better served by finishing our current round of major problems.

... Keep in mind the Trelli have been forming mercenary companies. Multiple companies.
We won't have the numbers edge; we need to be able to maintain support and reinforcements, which means we need to be able to at least match the Trelli on the water to win this fight.
So. Let's go get pines for bigger, better boats.

Why? Were you people not planning to go all out on the Palace next turn? That would put us at 9/8-10. It does not need an action right now.
What we need on the Trelli front is better boats.

You might be being pessimistic? But pessimism is a good tool to have for this kind of situation. Counterweights any reaching for the stars some people(me for example) may have.
Which is basically what I was getting at. Good raiders, thus win the land battles, bad sea fighters thus probably lose the naval battles.

Extremely long single planks of wood. This makes shipbuilding easy.
Pitch and resin for sealing and caulking. Makes boats smoother externally and less likely to spring leaks.

ehhhhh would it?
It would put us in the midrange for completion, yeah. Then again, doing an ation now gives us two free secondaries tomorrow.

The Trelli are a city state on the Bosporus, trying to bleed them dry by Viking-style raiding is non-viable because they do not have soft outlying settlements.

As much as I want the good times roll for another turn. Not possible with the Trelli endorsing full on piracy so we need to protect our trading post and ships.

We plan on building both anyway, so why not grab the Northern Trading Post in preparation of grabbing the Southern One? You don't get as many benefits visa versa.

Actually, since we set aside space for them, going over the required action in megaproject support might just have them build the Great Hall expansion or Gardens right away, if we have the stats for it.
Update says they sent their companies elsewhere to make money. We have another turn at least befor they act unless they claim the site first and become secure
