Does this include things like maintenance for the Banners? Because it doesn't really make much sense for mercenaries to suddenly cost twice as much just because we don't have half-castes.

Well the one sounds to me like a better mega project, while the other sounds to me like a straight wonder

(I had literally just sent him a PM asking for permission to post the original version of the options. Originally the options would have just been:"[] Remove Purity trait and disable prohibition against slavery
[] Downgrade Pride in Acceptance to Cosmopolitan Acceptance, Purity will continue to corrode it
[] Allow the dice to decide, best case lose Purity without the slavery prohibition, worst case lose Purity, the prohibition against slavery, and downgrade PiA"
We are still one Great Hall expansion away.

All the cooks and latrine diggers have to get paid too.
It's 4 wealth per action, not 6. It adds 2 wealth cost to an action that costed none before. This is doable.

That's not right. Corvee labour comes from our regular citizenry paying for their taxes in the form of labour rather than coin. Half-exiles don't come into the picture when it comes to that.
Eh, a flood of 'at any cost' votes was inevitable given the issue. Please don't let it get to you, there's plenty of time for votes to be made and things to swing one way or another. A lot of people won't vote until they know what the fallout of these decisions will be.

Please don't do this.
I know people like the idea, but it's simply terrible. For one, it's not going to last, not in this time and age.
In the meantime, it'll crash our economy and nearly kill our civilization. The Spite quests will be impossible to fulfill, especially with the extra wealth costs. The hits will be devastating.

Everyone, AN just said that the biggest dam option is basically dickwaving, and it will significantly increase the wealth cost of the dam, which is about to be our biggest bottleneck for the foreseeable future, so can you please go for the second largest option that provides almost all of the benefits at a sightly lower cost.

This, plus this is a mechanical representation of everything costing more with rising labour costs.

Neat. That means it's impossible to actually complete the trader quest next turn, which makes me feel better even if it's a shame to screw them over again. Does mean that we can only do one dam option if the largest is chosen though!

Thanks for the save Abby.
The thread would have actually devolved into a nuclear salt reactor if those were the options.

We don't need to fulfill them. We have Division of Power which allows us to safely ignore them with no negative consequences.

Well, keeping anyone else from ever making a dam would be a pretty funny

Trade passives are a drop in the bucket, and we have other, desperate needs for them.
Impossible? In what way? The Trader quest only costs 5 wealth.

Let's, you know, not massively increase the cost of our dam for dickwaving purposes when we're about to put ourselves into a wealth crunch and a war at the same time.

We need to support them, or complete the quest to reset the DoP counter.
