I'm not sure that should be true of the final arrangement.

Don't think we need any Urban. If we clean they will come. The guilds are always going to be interested in urban.
Uh, unless the Spiritual option also builds academies, I'm pretty sure we'd want at most one of them. We're close to our RA cap, and we've not tempered Purity yet.
And the priests will do it for us.Uh, unless the Spiritual option also builds academies, I'm pretty sure we'd want at most one of them.
> implying that getting into Stanford isn't a matter of prestige and connectionaccess to Academy can be more than a matter of prestige and connection; we do not need Oxford, we need Stanford.
It didn't used to be, but these days... On the other hand, they're very good about scholarships which makes them more approachable.> implying that getting into Stanford isn't a matter of prestige and connection

I reckon we need the Yeomen on-side. They can do a whole lot of forestry if they put their minds to it. Also I think we will need a king repeated action.One thing to consider: Baths consume Forest slots, and a couple of Hygiene-focused policies would build a LOT of baths.

What! Do you always want to be stuck in a gilded age?Maybe we can get AN to make us a "Just Salterns and Markets, thank you very much" passive policy.
We need some way to effectively transform wealth into stability.
Maybe a culture Genius could do it?
Absolutely
What is the difference, from our perspective? It seems like they would be equivalent.I don't know if this is something I've missed, but does anyone know if when the dam says 6-8 actions, it means that there is a specific number of actions needed that we don't know, or that AN is rolling to see if a certain number of actions is enough?
Well we are likely going to be improving festival for awhile. A culture Genius might be able to give that alot more bang.I'm... not sure how great the narrative effects of that would be.

Because at the time, we didn't have any factions?
We would like infrastructure passives to build us some Marketplaces. And Salterns. And Aqueducts/Baths in existing cities, GPs, and libraries.
Don't forget, libraries give mystic refunds.Alright, I'm back, and it's time for more Repeated Action Clusters! This time, "Stop worrying we can totally generate Tech"
Method One: Chemical Engineering
The idea here is to do things that require tech, and stay stat-neutral
Study Alchemy
-2 Mysticism, -6 Wealth, +1 Tech, increased chance of new discoveries x2
Plant Cash Crops - Drugs
-2 Econ, -2 Econ Expansion, +1 Mysticism, +7 Wealth
Expand Black Soil
-1 Tech, +6 Econ Expansion
Net: 0 Tech (+1 if refunded), +1 Wealth, -1 Mysticism, -2 Econ, +4 EE, Alchemy, Drugs, and Black Soil
Repeatable Black Soil is interesting-it doesn't cost the econ or the forests that Main does, but generates tonnes of EE. Also, good synergy between Drugs and Alchemy, and Alchemy and Black Soil. I think Black Soil repeated bears more looking in to, as a tremendous EE gain, and apparently, our methods of generating mysticism are kinda poor.
Method 2: Artisanat Expansion
Support Artisans
-1 Econ, -6 Wealth, +5 Tech, +1 Culture, higher chance of innovations x2
Plant Cash Crops - Luxuries
-2 Econ, -1 Econ Expansion, +6 Wealth, +2 Culture, other effects
Expand Black Soil
-1 Tech, +6 Econ Expansion
Net: -3 Econ, +5 EE, +3 Culture, +4 Tech (5 if refunded),
More tech, good culture, positive EE, (So a Expand Econ every so often could pay for the econ costs), and tons of innovation.
So in conclusion, we should seriously consider a Repeated Expand Black Soil action. It is super cheap in comparison to doing it manually, and it gets a ton of great EE.
I think you misunderstand how many passive policies we will have. Have you read the beta rules for the new government system?2 that cover that and one that covers something else, for instance. Depending on what he puts where of course.
