I'd like to stay on course with the Stallions, and the new mercenary company should have considerable benefits for our ability to project force. Meanwhile, we double the effectiveness of our infrastructure policy so that it can actually accomplish something in a reasonable timeframe. Next turn, we start on the Dam, and plant a new forest to free up space for the Grand Docks if integrating the Stallions didn't manage it.

Again, we will never ever manually do this, even though it's of vital importance that has been discussed before, hence every added bonus is necessary. Two infrastructure ticks a turn would turbo boost our development.

This will get us that catamaran innovation that we're still missing as well as the tech needed to finish the law. Along with other obvious benefits.
And who knows, perhaps we can start shipping of the metalworkers once the Not Magyars are done razing the land.

The metal workers will be prime target for aggressive or even diplomatic annexation once the Magyars are done with em. This is a vital preparation step.

No it's not. The Trelli are smart enough to keep the know-how about Iron to themselves - if only so they'll get a massively valuable trading good.

The Nomads will leak knowledge all over the place, as experts get taken in raids and counter-raids. Everyone that borders the steppes will soon have Iron themselves.

Sure, with Trelli things will get out as well as people reverse engineer the process from the weapons they sell, but it might take longer, and we can use our dominance of the black sea to keep it from leaking to the TS and HK.

Anyways, we lost one of our biggest advantages. The Iron Age will be here very soon.

Well let's be honest here, this was bound to happen at some point and we have already gained much because of the discovery.

What we need to do now is to adapt to this and simply proceed to use our current position to build up higher.
- We need to deal with our vassals and start integrating some of them.
- We need to deal with the Trelli
- We should start spamming our megaprojects/wonders again, that is kinda our thing.

Trying to squash ironworking at this point is an exercise in futility.

I'll add that to my vote, if someone not doing swaps a secondary Proclaim Glory into their vote (and pings me so I see it).

Yes it is, the Trelli wielding iron is like giving a plow to the farmer. IT makes their action that much more effective. With Trelli playing smack down on her surrounding tribes aided by iron will increase their expansion speed with much less cost.

So they rise faster and stronger, might even cause the not!Egyptians to stop plans of getting Trelli under their wing again.

Yes... YEEEEEEEES. We can finally spend martial! I'm so happy!

Currently not the problem though.

Our provinces are on megaproject support policy, they're likely to aim to create tech points, and even if they don't, this will give us enough to finish it in the Mid Turn.

Not sure about the rest, but I know we must start The Law and these free picks make sense.

Checking to make sure that Hemp is enough to stop losing Sacred Forest:
*14 Econ Expansion available (max 12 to keep Sacred Forest True City; max 17 for Valleyhome)
Economy 15 [-1+6]
-Econ Expansion 14 [+1-6]
Maximum cap: 16

Hemp is *S: -2 Econ, -2 Econ Expansion, +1 Tech, +1 Mysticism, +2 Diplo if have boats, +1 Econ next turn
net +4 Econ if we keep Sacred Forest

So, we'll drop to a safe 11 as long as we spend less than 2 additional econ. Which we should be fine on.

SAFE!

Infrastructure does 1/3 of a secondary action each turn. Defense does a full secondary action each turn. And I'd think walls are even less likely to be done manually.

Another point: walls enable local settlements to resist the 'justice' imposed by the central tyranny. In a sense, walls are a fundamental building block of feudalism because they allow smaller polities to have retain more power.
