Should have listened to the astrologer and crushed the Monotheists
On a less dramatic note, our problem is that we just have too many people to feed right now given how few people are actually farming. Sending the excess of the city population to attack the nomads is a good way of divesting ourselves of the extra mouths without causing a demographic collapse.
@Academia Nut What would be the military strategy for our army if we decided to engage the nomads?
I would assume that they would hole up in cities if our vassals still have them?

They may not have True Cities like core Ymaryn does, but you can bet they have regular cities with walls. We can work with that.
I say either Carrion Eaters or Spiritbonded is needed here. One to ensure our levies survive the trip, the other so they can react quickly enough to actually use our levies.

This is basically crushing the monotheists, since the Ymaryn are taking it upon themselves to persecute the monotheists by making them into half exiles.
Our purity trait is also sounding really bad, and I'm not sure how it vibes with Pride in Acceptance since it seems to make the Ymaryn more xenophobic and hostile towards foreigners.

I think you are right.
In that case, we merely know that we are going down to {0}, with potential econ damage hitting us on top of that. And if we choose More Spiritbound, this goes down to {-2} at best. So... please don't do that?
Yes, that is an alternative, if the voters were willing to go for it. Current voting suggests that is unlikely to be the case.
And for good reason. Do we really want to open ourselves up to further plague before we absolutely have to?

The religious authority gain is from the priest faction maturing and gaining an ability to add their power to the RA, not the hero who actually sounded like an admin hero to me, albeit with some mystic skill as well. Purity on the other hand is rather more focused on our existing situation and our response to the One God Heresy, as predicted by...a lot of people i think?
Or AN could ninja me and clarify
that's awesome! well, the martials a bit shitty, but heroic admin and mystic are godsends...Good to know. so we did in fact take 3 econ damage from the plague status...and/or the disease roll? Can we know 1. if the plague econ damage roll was good/bad/average, and 2. what exactly the disease roll caused, if anything?
Its in legacies spoiler:
The King Still Stands: Whenever someone uses the Take the Crown CB on you or you are engaged in a struggle for King of the Hill, every full turn they fail to knock you out they lose 1 Stability
Kings Do Not Kneel (Three): Gain +1 Martial every phase during a Take the Crown or Great Power war
[X] [War] Scramble what warriors are available (Sends a Sec War Mission and Mercenary Companies to the east)
They ran over the MH because all the hard points had been abandoned, our haven't been so they should hopefully be able to stall them out and drag them into the disease quagmire, at which point a lot probably just go home.

Early days yet.
It is either die to the plague later or die to the nomads now.
Unfortunately, we have to do both :/

@Academia Nut
1. how many more phases should we expect for the remainder of this turn?
2. how does temp econ damage wear off. Like, will it all disappear at the end of turn? first phase of next turn? next mid turn? or maybe each damage disappears a turn after it was caused?

@Academia Nut - at an RA of 10, we should have our Wealth cap go down 1 and our Temp Econ Resistance be up by 1.

Okay, I say we go for it. This gives additional hits to Culture and Mysticism but we are already overflowing in them and Mysticism has refunds. If any stat can tank it, it is these two.
@Academia Nut the big question
How likely are the Patricians going to jack our React vote?
They wanted ponies and we now have a good reason to want ponies.

So, everyone's freaking out about Purity. It's bad, but if it helps Plague rolls, it'll be a godsend. And remember, traits can evolve. A proposed evolution:
Next to Godliness:
Staying clean and organized is vital to everyday Ymaryn life. [Synergises with LoA and PSoN]
Pros-Health rolls, boosted projects that involve cleanliness.
Cons-Dirty and unclean projects are more expensive.

1. I think at this point only one more phase, although depending how the war goes you may have a war mini-turn since things are moving a lot faster now. A mini-turn would not iterate any stats.
2. Either a phase without temp Econ damage, or a full turn, at which point it goes away in order.
MH Rolled a Nat 1 for their general success roll, which means that they imploded in civil war and chaos, at the exact same time as the plague came and the nomads spawned a great khan. The MH then crit failed their response to resist, so the nomads utterly buzzsawed them, their somewhat mad khan taking quarantine procedures to psychotic and religious levels.
