Uh. Hmm.
I think its a recent change, and the thing we did was pop all our cities and boost our cent ceiling.

Yeah, we gained 4 IC from integrating Gulvalley, though also have a higher penalty from province count now. The front page is really out of date actually; @Academia Nut hasn't copied the tracker over since before we integrated gulvalley, instead having whatever version was up beforehand and then manually (i.e. AN manually) changing a few things to show us how many provinces and IC we got from the integration.
(Also AN just an fyi but the formatting didn't copy over last time, so nothing is centered and it looks less readable)
Edit: Here's the current setup for cent tolerance; in exchange for me posting it you must follow the quote button and go give me a positive rating on my A&D post; don't you know i only do all this math and busy work to like-farm?

Was doing a bit of thinking.
This might be a bit of a shot in the dark here, but in order to lower RA and be able to build more temples we basically need to disagree with the priests right?
So, wouldn't pushing RA into the redline hypothetically be a quick way to increase our religious infrastructure? Push RA into red by building temples, get into conflict with the priesthood over their authority in order to lower RA (and likely stability/legitimacy), use the freed up RA to build more temples, rinse and repeat.
Sure. This has huge potential to create issues. But I can't help but think that this is the way that most counties get their temples up. Not everyone can afford doing so by missions or governor palaces after all.
Still an interesting thought though.

a) yeah, b) we probably have less rain, c) within the context of this discussion of internal issues and the flow of ideas, people, and culture and how roads are beneficial for the aforementioned, idgaf about goods and how nice canals are for their transportation. I totally want canals. I totally want roads. Let's have both.

It would work, but it would have to be a dedicated effort.
It would likely cost us a lot of stab/leg drops, and would likely erode any values that are being solely carried on by the Priesthood.
It would basically be a megaproject on its own.

Seems like it could work, but it'd be pretty dangerous. We probably should look for a safer solution, either by building more palaces or finding a new trait to act as a RA release valve in the way that we use PSN for centralization.

It seems possible; some nations manage it by having Spiritual Values that let them spend RA on things like negating stability loss.

It's too bad we never managed to pick up that Khemetri value that used RA as a stability buffer. That would have been nice...

Like the others said above it could work, but it'd be a continual effort up until we develop some kind of RA spender trait. And given the cycle type you are proposing it has a good chance of being either a symbiotic trait with the priests(working together with them) or an anti-priest trait(beating them down).
We'd have to pick our responses carefully, go for the reconciliation type things, because an anti-priest value would be kinda disasterous.

That implies that Expanding Forest would be heresy...We need a value that lets us spend RA to take Expand Forest actions
Drawbacks are probably huge, since that's likely the Godking value.

Oh! How about a value which gives something like +Number of Forests/4 to RA tolerance?That implies that Expanding Forest would be heresy...

I could see it being something like the priests using their influence to plant more trees, so their RA falls because they invested it into a shiny new forest.That implies that Expanding Forest would be heresy...

But like...that is what our religion is about?
Why would it reduce belief in our Priests if they do in fact complete their mandate?

Probably something similar to "In Service of Order" with low RA causing Stability and Legitimacy hits or other nasty stuff.
Which could lead to some horrible results due to the fickle nature of the dice gods and disasters.

I was hoping that instead of Purity we'd get a spiritual value focused on debates which lets us turn RA into mysticism and have a related roll chance.
Some sort of divine authority value. Very nasty if you run out of RA, and makes disagreeing with the priesthood a nono. And probably isn't compatible with philosopher kings.

We actually know how the God King trait works.
It lets you burn RA in place of stability, but when you get too low on RA you rapidly start dropping stability. Can't recall what it does for legitimacy.

I could see it being along the lines of our priests using their RA to 'burn' it in the same way our factions do it to gain actions. So they use 1 RA to spawn a secondary action and 2 for a main.
This, of course, weakens the priests, since they're using a good chunk of their authority to force the rest of the civ to plant trees or whatever.

So not like other factions, because they would actually spawn their own actions instead of stealing our own...
I would slam the RA button if that were true.

I am pretty sure more Palaces + more Roads are an answer, actually: giving RA and, narratively, giving more local centers of powers which would likely address some inevitable issues of cities/core sucking in most of resources/actions of the counrty.

Considering they are using up RA to create actions and then having us raise them up again so they can keep doing it...*hears Button Slamming*
"Suddenly! Religious Crisis!"

Not sure I see a crisis happening.

Yeah I know
, but there is that whole thing about "button slamming tends to lead to explosions" thing about this thread.
