Well, alright, given the discussion that combination does sound sensible. What are your thoughts on how the government upgrade might be impacted by being at war and how it might impact the war? And about how something like Spiritbonded could reduce our secondary martial overcapping and whatever issue that will end up causing?
[X] [Hero] The War Chief is an Avatar of War (Genius Martial, at least semi-stable Diplo and Admin)
[X] [Target] Split focus between the Forhuch and the nomads
[X] [Traders] Support Faction for an extra turn (Patricians will switch support to Yeomen immediately
[X] [Kick] No further kick
Or some permutation thereof.
Basically, use the momentum we build up in the war to crush our enemies.

I am hoping that Genus will be able to steal Forhuch's horses. Then we would be in a much better situation.

a) assumes we win with forces split 2.3 ways, b) we could also just crush them and then have them take the stability hit so they fuck off for a while &/or the nomads attack them.
We have 4 light cavalry v ~9 light cavalry + nomads
85 martial v ~10 martial + nomads
These odds are pretty good, and if we take them then we can crush our enemies completely & then switch to hammer the HK completely. Mostly, I just don't trust that we can solve any one of our problems if we try to solve all of them. Like, maybe if we had a genius martial who could crush one group after another but *shrug*

Our horses are actually probably just as good, maybe even better. The problem is that they are more skilled than we are with those horses.

Quick question. Assuming we take:
[] [Traders] Support Faction for a new faction quest (Patricians will not switch support immediately)
Will the traders still generate a spite quest? I'm assuming no, but thought I'd ask.
edit:
And are the Traders still suppressing innovation?

I see Khorne is busy here.
Metaphysically I think their name is jinxed.
Realistically, they are an independent missile unit contingent without the pike screen or shieldwall to make it safe?
And apparently too hotblooded to stay out of melee.
See the update: They charged the Forhuch after seeing them massacre civilians.
Thats the idea yeah. A Martial Hero vs a Martial Hero is a stalemate. We need a Genius to blast through their Heroes repeatedly.
Definitely looking like "cut through Forhuch ASAP, then carve through the Nomads and then shove a big spiked stick up the Highlander butt"
...For The Win?
Two reasons:
-The Traders are no longer issuing a Spite quest. Due to Patrician support they'd be generating a Power 6 Good Quest.
-We can't succeed at the Trader quest. There just isn't the wealth for that while on Mass Levy, and we can't spare the Stability. This gives us another 3 turns before we need to deal with their quest.

A heroic diplomacy hero might be able to turn some of our enemies against each other.
Unlikely to turn the Nomads against the Forhuch, and the Highlanders and Forhuch aren't in contact with each other.
Not practical.

That's the Heroic Diplomacy of the Perfect General. And I don't know how likely to work that is, I suspect if we beat the Forhuch the nomads will turn on them anyway, sensing weakness.
Those are both possible reasons to vote for swapping out the Trader quest, but that is not the the current winning [Trader] vote. The willing vote is to prolong the current quest, and it is winning by more than 2/3 of all the votes.
So... why are we voting for that?

Yeah, that's the plan. Just beat 'em up real good. Nomads like strength more than pretty words, unlike the flowery Ymaryn. You know what the Khemetri say about their brothels, right? "You can plant seeds or pull weeds."

I'd rather take out our main enemy first, then take care of the rest. There's a solid chance that the nomads will abandon the war once we defeat the Forhuch after all. I expect our governor of MoS (that has exceptional martial) will be able to, if not hold the line, slow they approach and buy us the time we need.
I'm undecided on grabbing more calvalry to make it much easier to win, or helping handle the future over-martial problems later. Either way i'll be happy with both votes.

They are currently running high on religious fanaticism and looted Khem colony resources. Their objective is to seize as much of the lowlands as possible and convert their population to fanatics and the region into a fortified hardpoint. The Harmurri haven't been particularly into developing their military power too much, and the HK are running hotter than is sustainable.
[] [Traders] Support Faction for an extra turn (Patricians will switch support to Yeomen immediately)
Six extra martial score. The fact that it pushes the trader quest back another full turn (two midturns after the start of the next turn) to complete their quest is just a nice bonus.

I voted for it since I want the patrician yeoman support, which the other two do not provide. And I want to actually complete the navy quest.
So, stuff that needs to get done in the immediate future:
- Raise stability. High Stability+Legitimacy is how you keep from getting messed up by high Martial.
- Build that Annex. Because honestly, no way in hell we are skipping the government reform.
- Don't spend (much) Econ or Wealth. Spending Econ pops our Cities, and also makes us vulnerable to temp damage - which I think is going to be an especially bad problem given that we have levies to feed. Spending Wealth turns into spending Tech, and if we run out of tech all sorts of things go horribly wrong.
- Send more War Missions, Support Sacred Orders. Moar War!

They have spearmen and swordsmen and other skirmishers, but they are primarily a crossbow force.
