I dunno, it feels like many of the features that the Ymaryn have acquired, Palace Economy, Divine Stewards, Cosmopolitan Acceptance, cultural divergence with the Stallions, Greater Sacred Forest dependencies on having libraries and educated experts, social fracture if Stab + Leg <= 0, etc., are all adding up to a failure cascade of titanic proportions.

I'll note the first two of those are manageable if we don't do stupid stuff, for example not fortifying gains or taking big refugee waves at bad times. The third is something we are shooting to fix, and actually can fix, Greater Sacred Forest requires either of two temples and or two libraries and we have several now. When we get the Stallions integrated we will have one in a spread out area so that we are less dependent on all the eggs in one basket. Social fracture I expect like some one suggested to be done after the Law is finished if it is still a problem(we still don't have confirmation on that). My point is we know the causes of the cascade and how to avoid them, along with being capable of avoiding them.

I'm really sorry for getting on you but... fatalistic(?)... I guess is one way to put it, thoughts like wanting to see a collapse to spice things up annoy me considering all the work I've put into this thing.
 
i'd be rather happy if the next ten turns are nothing but some nomad/treeli raiders so we can get some backlog out of the way.

Hahahaha! ...right.
I think that's a thing we are all hoping for but knows will never happen...
Maybe if we can get 4-5 Heroic King one after another? Who knows.

i'm just meaning that the person who's bemoaning the lack of exictment can ram somthing spicky up a perticular orifice because it will get exiting in short order and then we'll once again have to do things SOON(tm)

Eh *wiggles hand* we don't really do backlog. Someone pokes us the wrong way we tend to bite of not only the offending finger but also their entire arm and half of their torso.

It'd make things complicated. But FUN.

We do seem to spawn them whenever we are at war or otherwise facing big problems. My greatest and most profound wish is to get an Admin Hero during the Tax Reform mk 2.

Plan oldest civ got my vote

Man it's been mine for ages.

We are already doing pretty well in that regard at being around 1140 years old as a civ since we started the normal turn order. Add on a few centuries to that from when the older updates had much much larger spans of time between them and I seem to recall AN saying that we were hanging around 2000 years old when we last asked about a thousand pages ago.

Overall though I'd say 1140 years is the best number since we were not fully formed during those early updates.
 
I'd like us to survive until nationalism. I really think it'd be cool to try to hold the kingdom/empire together amidst different cultures and trying to prevent becoming the sick man of the continent.

I mean the backlog of mega prohects cause if this keeps up then the river will dry out before we can make the dam.

Oh that'd be rich. We go to build the Dam and AN comes in to say "Nope sorry it shifted course and that is no longer possible". All because we didn't check.

:rofl:

Funny thing is that Joyous Symphony is almost a form of proto-nationalism if you look at it from a certain perspective, though in truth what it is, is a form of communalism.

Oh, 'vank you Concho.

Sooo... we are about 1800 years old. That fits with my understanding of the passage of time.

Well, yes.
The requirements for an effective Representative Democratic will be significantly lower than that of a pure Democracy.
However there is also the problem in that we want to engage our entire population in government which raises the requirements significantly.

A true democracy any time before the Information Age would be a paralyzed mess. Not even steam trains and telegraphs would be enough for it.

The idea is utterly laughable.

Also, the five Nile cataracts. Usually one of them was the southern border, and often already the uppermost one. Since all of Egypt was basically the strip of land along the Nile, they used the Nile to transport anything - and that made a cataract a real damn hindrance.

I suspect that's problem a smallish canal could solve. I mean, consider the scale of the construction projects Egypt already undertakes, would building a bunch of navigable river sections around the edges of the cataracts really be impossible?
 
we should really get to tge dam cause it may led us to be better at playing with water evalation. whitch would be usefull.
we may also be able to make some artifical rivers to increase the fertility of the lowlands if i read the map right.

Wouldn't an Arsenal annex be better instead?

By all appearances an Arsenal Annex makes better weapons and thus better equipped soldiers, not ones with higher skill.

Warrior's Rest, meanwhile, is the holy site through which traditionally southern soldiers passed on the way to the north and - more rarely - the reverse. It is where soldiers who can't be identified or who have no home are buried. It is where soldiers who are recovering might tend to be sent. To establish a temple there is to honor its history and accommodate greater numbers. To create a library is to encourage literacy as a practice among soldiers and thus encourage the more intellectual among their lot - the commanders - to record their thoughts for posterity.
