Sigh. Savages don't understand the concept of mercenaries. I wonder if we could somehow convince Trelli to lend them mercenaries.
Though that might end up with Trelli getting Iron. Not as bad as the nomads, but still pretty bad.

Ok my main thought here is to start the law, and while forming it reminding our people of it's existence and importance (hoping for good narrative combo) by displaying our governments ability to enforce it. The law and Enforce Justice
The last option is to beef up our tech a bit so we can get as far as possible with the law as we can.
It will give us a good stability buffer, more tech and hopefully a golden age as the law comes in to play (Another great narrative)

I'll point to the section in Expand Economy which still lists Sacred Forest as max 12 Expansion, which makes me think if we get below 12 again we will get it back, and there seems to have been little disruption in the update. Like, curiously none, and I expected some......Fuck, it has
Welp, Rip Sacred Forest, you will be missed.
Weird.

If you wanted to fight the nomads, you probably should have attacked them last turn instead of trying to bribe them.

I prefer these to faster Infrastructure building. Though I suppose not by too much, so this isn't that much of a sticking point.

@Academia Nut is Sacred Forest already popped or will it pop if we don't get back down to 12 EE at the end of this turn?

I don't WANT to fight them. But I want to fight them more than I want to allow them to get iron.

Except they're not mercenaries.
They're the kings private army that we hire out to people for political reasons usually.

That's even Worst. Nomads need bases to smelt iron, so they will settle some people; giving us stationary targets.
Trelli already have a much bigger industry and can afford to tech up; providing huge advantages against everyone to their west.

Our diplomacy on SV(for this quest especially) basically seems to work as "Do what we ask or we krump you". This is more of that.
A large chunk of the point of bribing them was to keep them away from Iron.
Also, that vote has passed and is kinda no longer relevant?
Oh, Right, policy. While defense would be my next choice, before a second Infrastructure, I'd rather get in front of any potential subordinate issues.
And I agree, support artisans does look like a very good action to take. However, I'd rather let our provinces do that on Megaproject support. That is what it is there for, after all.

@Academia Nut Are they going to target the TS as well? How far behind are we in term of megaprojects versus the Khemetri? Will we ever catch up to them?

I'm guessing that it's in the process of disappearing. It's technically popped but there's still enough that we aren't facing any after-effects and if it goes back under the limit immediately than nothing happens.
No evidence beyond textual mind you, so don't make predictions on this.
Still, I think it's worth trying to keep it.

Wait a minute, weren't we supposed to be able to pick a second passive policy now? Do we really need to use an action for that, or did we do so already?

May i suggest you swap proclaim glory to another stability raiser, PG will cost us 75% of our culture.

This doesn't produce any Tech for the Law; what's your plan there?

Fuxed a bracket.
@Academia Nut does the infrastructure Policy automatically build stuff, or de we have to start the project, and then it will slowly get built without our help?
This causes a war with the nomad hero we just struggled to diplomance.
