You made a controversial vote that will screw over the rest of the thread and have bad in-game consequences. You are also obviously smart enough to know this. So what do you do? You provide no reasoning for your vote like Korporati nor do you just drop the vote with no other comment like Dkarkhas and instead make a comment on how you enjoy being given the ability to screw over the thread. And then when you are called out on what you said or asked for reasoning, you ignore them and refusing to explain your actions. You only respond when your trolling is called out as such to whine about how you are being unfairly treated because you don't usually get the chance to screw over the other voters.
You have made a provocative post that is technically within the rules with no reason being delighting in messing up things for others. That is classic trolling and so I am perfectly happy to state that you are a troll. Which by the way, is the point I am trying to get across. If you don't want to be called a troll, then don't troll.
Why? He is trolling and since I can't report due to it technically being within the rules, I am going to at least call out his trolling. That isn't against the rules anymore than what he is doing is against the rules as far as I can tell. If it is against the rules, then one of the multiple staff in the threat can correct me on that matter because I find any rules that forbidden what I have posted.

So we should just not over expand? The Roman Empire was way, way too big for it's communication and travel Times.
And this is why we have gone for internal defenses, infrastructure and culture.
Consolidation.

Ah yes, enjoying the possibility of my vote actually counting. The classic trolling.
But this isn't the place to argue about this, if you want to continue we should take it to PM's.

Literally voted for that, trust me. I've been in this thread since the beginning too, and I was the guy who started and carried the hardline to early iron. I think when we max out roads, we should limit expansion heavily until we improve locomotive options
You don't need a locomotive to make a railroad, all you need is horsedrawn rail cars.

I meant it in the sense of locomotion = types of movement available.
So, AN has been (well, had by the time this post goes up) quite active in Discord on answering some miscellaneous questions. Assume these informations only working so far as this current Second Lightning Round, except those that can be considered as more 'permanent'.

Still find it interesting that the votes of 3 people are worth more than the votes of 24.
Ah, the wonders of weighted voting

A sorry I misunderstood you, but well horse drawn railcars would be a great urban transport system. But yeah If you mean transport systems, canals are the best way to go. So we need a better boat.

When your vote is to unfairly screw over other voters? Yes, it is. You have yet to give any reasoning for your vote beyond stating that you enjoy being given the opportunity to cause trouble with your trolling because normally you aren't able to get away with any actually damage. And even now you refuse to give reasoning to show that you aren't a troll and have actually valid reasons for making that vote. Nope, all you don't is complain that you don't usually get the chance to screw over others due to disportionately unfair division of power and that your trolling is being called out as such. Yeah, a total lack of reasoning or evidence to show that you aren't actually trolling and a plea to stop calling you out as such.
And while we are on the subject, I don't like the fact that we are now using weighted votes, especially since it is highly in favour of the bad options. It is telling some voters that their opinions don't matter as much as others whilst giving others a disportionate amount of power since it allows a handful of trolls to screw over everyone else.
Realistic for the time and culture options, more like.

Which honestly makes me empathize with people who 'dislike' or generally go against those kind of people.Still find it interesting that the votes of 3 people are worth more than the votes of 24.

It's a mechanic, after all. A meta mechanic, affecting the players first and foremost. It gives power to disruptive players, who wish to screw over the others. (or have their own, legitimate reasons, I guess, but that's less likely, frankly)
It feels... somewhat simulationist- there's cultural inertia against accepting innovations of others, since it weakens the "Ymaryn make everything new" narrative.
But at the same time- it encourages negative responses to people who do vote for the 10x option.
