Who shall we target for value acquisition next?
Harmurri would be my preference.
Probably also trade/diplomatic missions.
Isn't that always allowed, just typically less useful? I seem to recall we were allowed to build things in the Stallion March, except there wasn't much point.
There's a distinction there. We can take normal actions in our subordinates(and honestly we may want to think about doing that as a way to encourage them to like us) but I distinctly recall AN saying the manpower required for Megas requires us doing them on core lands.
Why not both?So, more watchtowers then?
I'm not knocking watchtowers, but it really would take a long time for full coverage. It would cost about 7 Mains or 14 Secondaries.
If we have the actions to spare and decide we don't want to do something else I don't see why not. They have resettled Xohyr.
But I'm really hoping that high/full coverage would advance our communication tech.
I'd target either the Harmurri or the Khemetri (if the Religion incompatibility is removed). The Harmurri have a trade value that sounds useful, and the Khemetri seem likely to have something good. Their god-king value would be amazing mechanically... if rather terrible narratively and likely incompatible with our existing values.
This is true and is a reason to go for them, but it doesn't change the issue that it will still take a while. Certainly can't do it all at once unless we do nothing else in a turn. I want to do it, but finding the time is a bit tricky.
Not sure how God king would go against our existing values. Can you point to one that it conflicts with?
Division of power I imagine since that is about splitting power up among many, but a God King value implies that as a divine the King should have all the power.
Philosopher Kings = Everyone is fallible since everyone is learning, even the king
Like bungie said, not for megaprojects; see the triangle canal as an example; couldn't do that until we integrated the stallions.
What I'm envisaging is a communication system - whether technological, like semaphores or hydraulic signalling, or just an improved courier system with regular horse changes - that may reduce the admin strain of extra provinces. Which would be a very potent thing, but very logical.
It would likely aim RA to support a particular bloodline for kingship, destroying Elective Monarchy unless every single noble can draw their bloodline from a "divine source".
We also know that In Service to Order got booted because it was "too rigid" for Philosopher Kings, IIRC. God-King probably is completely incompatible. We might be able to get a downgraded version of it, like Divine Right of Kings or something, but I'm not sure why we would want to.
Or just put together a divine ascension ritual that kings go through after being elected.
I don't think our people would believe the ritual actually meant anything, and again, I'm not sure why we would want to have a God-King.
The ability to trade RA for stability would be nice.
