Paths of Civilization

@Academia Nut has papa nomad died yet or do they still have two heroes right now? While we're not as distracted as we were a turn ago getting our teeth kicked in because we were too focused on getting a mega this turn is worrying.

In total, that gets us:
-5 Wealth, +1 Martial, +1 Econ, +6 Culture, +4 Tech
So +7 stats for 2M worth of actions. Not a great bargain. :(

Statwise, that is horrendous. Narratively, a Universal Military Service requirement would give our citizenry a shared cultural background, reducing culture drift, decreasing internal rivalries, and generally makes our civ more awesome.
 
I expect the international game to make a trait created from combining Joyous Symphony and Cosmopolitan Acceptance.
 
If we do the Grand docks (The arguments for it make sense to me) I wonder if between that presumed improvement in ship tech, the cultural exchange/interest in greater contact with the Khem from the games, and the fact the Trelli got pretty brutalized in the war...

Is there a chance we just start flouting their embargo and just sail through the strait anyway for easier contact with the Khem? If both of their major trading partners were in on the deal they'd basically have no choice to accept it even though it's awful for them, even discounting the martial disparity.

My issue is that I'd rather take a swing at the HK next turn than wait for another for them to prepare for our retaliation. The Grand Dock needs 4-6 actions, so I figure we can either 2xMain Sec Offensive policy or simply Main GD Sec Offense + M War Mission/Terrify and simply finish the GD the turn after.

And that's ignoring whatever lovely Mid-Turn action we get.

Well, math checks out, I think. So sure, why not? But not if AN confirms Citino's concerns later, of course.

Let us hope pbluekans mathematical sorceries bear out. Though even if they don't, all we loose is one stability, so I'm not too worried.
 
*Xohyr negaverse plays a very nice version of the Aztec*
Xohyr: Say, Curious Coca, what's going on in Mesotampia since we were crushed by the Ymaryn?
CC: Oh, they crushed the HK for attempting to steal their iron.
Xohyr: *snort* Those bastards deserve it.
CC: Then they turned around and crushed the SF and your former vassals in a defensive war. After that they went home and had a three turns worth of peace...They also feel really guilty for destroying your city to the point of writing an entire epic around it.
Xohyr: Wow.
CC: Of course, things didn't last forever. In fact, the Ymaryn encountered Khemeti who wished to conquer forward. At that time, everyone acquired a hero. Naturally, the Ymaryn refused to back down and a Great Power war happened. Highland Kingdom and TH decided to invade and took quite a bit of Ymaryn lands.
Xohyr: Finally!
CC: Then the Ymaryn turned around and beat the ever loving snot out of everybody with a genius hero and bested the Khemeti in a climatic battle. Afterward, the Ymaryn and Khemeti became best friends and brothers.
Xohyr: ....
CC: Suffice to say, I named the entire sequence Epic Age for a reason. I knew that whatever happened, the survivors would have this period seared into their collective consciousnesses, and even if they all died out future historians would be talking about this like a combination of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Iliad and the Ramayana for millennia. Like, I think anything short of a major bollide collision to Anatolia would be insufficient to not have this talked about by everyone in contact with you from now on. For the People and the Khemetri, this sequence will be a part of their culture, any successor states, and all of their neighbours and their successor states.
Xohyr: o_O Wait. Did you actually wrote all of that?
CC: Ha! I wish. But my negaverse counterparts did.
Xohyr: The Ymaryn is some grade A bullshit though.

Did you account for symphony? It gives an extra main. Also, we get an unknown amount of refund from social projects which the games should count as. Though with Genius Admin, this is the best time to do this just in case something goes wrong.

I accounted for that refund.

Symphony is also accounted for in the third action. Unless someone who knows the math better can correct me on this, I'm sticking with it.
