[X] [Census] Streamline lower bureaucracy (+1 Passive Policy)

I know most people will choose the admin upgrade but I want this because it will make it so that we can do infrastructure and other things as well.

[X] [Crisis] Try to get to the bottom of things (???)

as tempting as it is to choose the stab option something is going on and we should look into it asap

[X] [Diplo] Attempt to bribe everyone (Main Salt Gift, untargeted)

why not show a little generosity now and again to everyone

[X] [React] Stabilize the People (Main Improve Annual Festival)

We need this if we want to choose the really juicy options for the law.

Administration upgrades are amazing of themselves. Combined with the new Tier opened up by the Palace and the upcoming Tax Project, it is uncontested

Getting to the bottom of the problem would help preparing for the Tax Project.

Finally Main Festival to ensure we start with a Stability buffer.
 
Well damn 3 million people.
A Governor's mansion is now needed on Blackiron to preempt WW building it on the mountains. We also need to build that Arsenal so the King has the best armies not our vassals.

Also someone raise the Defcon rating cause Iron is about to hit everyone.

Holy babies.

That's waaaaaay more than I expected. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay more.

Need to think about this update a bit.

Definitely want the +1 Passive Policy especially since it is streamlining lower bureaucracy which means lessening how many niches there are for bad crap.

Approval voting for the two friendly ways- LW looks like an opportunity to get more nomad mercs

Huh, i have good timing in randomly checking up on the thread for the first time in hours i guess... XD
Also, quoting things doesn't seem to actually work right now, which is weird and concerning..."reply" still works fine, at least, so i guess the first thigni wanted to comment on works:

Holy shit thats a lot more people than we expected! It now makes way more sense that greenshore can support a true city, and that redshore is trying to...

Also a quick question
@Academia Nut does Restoration of order still have the same odds for stab as before (So ~1/3rd each result for secondary), or has that improved with the action strength increases?

[X] [Diplo] Eliminate the Metal Workers before they can spread their knowledge (-1 Stability, Redeploy Red Banner, Greenshore converted to a colony)
[X] [React] Stabilize the People (Main Improve Annual Festival)
 
Well on the bright side there's a good chance that Iron will be slow in spreading from the Metal Workers, it took centuries for it to propagate from the Ganges and the Proto-Hittites got it around this time. Even with everyone and their mother wanting it the spread will likely give us a century or three to consolidate before it spreads to our neighbors. This does increase the relevancy of crushing the Trelli now though since they're the ones most able to get it and would want it due to escalating border tensions.
 
Let's go, then! Census is done, what's next?

[X] [Census] Streamline lower bureaucracy (+1 Passive Policy)

All of the Census bonuses are very nice, but this one strikes me as the most powerful. We all seem to agree that the passive policy system is very nice, so let's go ahead and double it's effectiveness.

[X] [Crisis] Try to get to the bottom of things (???)

When it comes to the corruption problem, do we bandage it over or address the root of the problem? This may not be the safest option, but it's the one I prefer.

[Diplo]

I don't really know what to do here. To be honest, I don't know if I have a preference, so I'm not voting for anything. shrug.jpg

[X] [React] Stabilize the People (Main Improve Annual Festival)

This, however, is clear. The direct attack on corruption will most likely result in a drop in stability due to internal chaos, so in order to keep stability status quo, this seems necessary.
 
"More troublesome was the fact that a few warriors had been assembling expeditions to strike out against the plantations sprouting up to the west of Gulvalley, or along the perimeter of the Yllython Sea. While theoretically they were all attacks with the intent of freeing slaves, given how the slaves recovered were suspiciously on the young and female and 'ever-so-grateful' side, the majority of these attacks were raids with a veneer of self-justification... although the one or two attacks that evidently had major talk about 'duty to the gods' and 'cleansing of impurity and sin' had resulted in rather disturbing attacks."

Our people are going wife raiding from the slaves of the Trelli, and some of them were of the crusading variety.

This is why red martial with negative stability is a bad thing.
 
Hah we really should have converted Greensboro into a colony when we had the chance that way they could have integrated the MW tribes and prevented this oh well what's done is done I suppose.
