Hey, I'm sure as hell not complaining. Having fuck you level walls is something I wanted since the nomads fucked up our vassals, so if the FC want to spam Colossal walls, I'm not going to mind.

Redhills was attacked by Hermphobe-khan, Valleyguard borders steppe (although I am surprised it's not Stallionpen or Blackmouth). So I am pretty sure it's provinces deciding that fucking nomads should be protected against.
Smart of them, really.
Ah, this too.
That's great news.

We need an omake where a mysterious old man hires a band of plucky and colorful characters to raid a tomb for ancient documents, revealing them to be the legendary Great Damn Project, allowing him to take back his ancestral land by washing away the shame of his family.

Yep.
Otherwise known as one of the few things that can keep nomads from fucking you up.
Well, until the capture a bunch of your siege engineers. Then everyone is fucked.

Expensive, Infras are free.
If you want more colossal walls, well...there is a sideways approach. Invest Main Expand Forests for silly 2 new slots/turn and turn on ~4 Infra policies. That'd be 9 progress/turn aka 1 set of Colossal Walls/turn.
Why Main Expand? Because those 9 progress can do 3 Ironworks/turn for scary 6 forest slots consumed if they want to.

How many origin stories is the Dam going to have?
By the time movies are a thing? Dozens. The stone age canal will have hundreds, many of them involving aliens in some capacity.How many origin stories is the Dam going to have?

I'm down. A Double Main Forests every turn would probably unlock the Terraforming actions fairly quickly, not to mention the ridiculous innovation rolls.

Future historians will be so confused.How many origin stories is the Dam going to have?
'Wait, I thought it was their priest-king who built the first dam?'
'But this record says it came about as a result of an ancient inventor?'
'This one says that the priests came together to demand it?'
'This one says that it was made from the ruins of one of their vassals?'

Dear Yshyn our forests must be pretty massive by this point.

@Academia Nut how big are our forest by now anyways? I mean, we've spent who knows how many centuries planting forests at this point, so how much of our territory is covered at this point?
On the subject of Infrastructure, I've been thinking we should do some tests. I'd like to see if we can use a secondary to start projects we want, but have policies finish them very quickly.
So, let's say we want a Governor's Palace in Valleyguard for some reason. We vote for [][Sec] Governor's Palace - Valleyguard, giving us 3 progress at a cost of 3 econ and wealth. If all goes as planned, our policies take it to 8/9, and our FC policy take it to 9/9.
I like Infrastructure passives, but I am thinking we should be willing to pay a bit to direct them better. I'd personally really like to see what special abilities are hidden behind tier 2 versions (and someday tier 3), and this could potentially speed that up.

I...am not sure I am down. Commiting Main limits our options severely, and crises will happen.
Granted, having passive drip of 2 forests+2 LTE/turn will also open up our options in some regards, and hypothetical Infra x4 covereth a multitude of sins, if it actually builds walls and libraries and the like.
Will have to see how exactly AN finalizes his new system and how flexible we are otherwise beforehand.

I'm curious as to roughly what year we're in relative to IRL history, just so we have a vague OOC idea of what might be going on in the rest of the world.
And how we might have mucked it up, of course, starting by our replacing the Hittites.

If he's also implementing the whole "investing faction actions" system, we'd probably also be pretty safe in letting the Urban Poor control their own actions, since they mostly just want to upgrade our cities.

Well, I think the rough estimate formula is 4000 - (# of Threadmarks x 15 Years)
So we should be something like 1600 BC at this point.
