No, we just start getting "we're uncomfortable with this level of centralization" events at five.

True, but I don't think I'd ever want to see what kind of shit would blow up into our faces if we ever had to sit at -3 stability for any length of time.We're already in the mid-turn. What more stability damage can we get?
That was not what the update said the black soil expanded because we expanded the forests not because our pop grewNo. Black soil always expand as our population grows, but more black soils would be helpful in greening the eastern hill.
with black soil production far away they had to set up new production sites and wait for it to mature
We've seen this turn that setting up the forests the same turn we enter a place isn't as effective since we aren't used to the biome yet and our Black Soil infrastructure isn't set up.
And now we know why the ST loved that action so much. So glad we have a (relatively) ridiculous number of actions thanks to our province system.
Perhaps I should've worded it differently: The people used to get that econ came from somewhere which means that place is now lacking those people.Given we use up economic expansion charges every time it happens...
Cent 3 isn't terrible, we can defer trails for a turn.[Main] Settlement - eastern hills
[Secondary] New trails/Black soil
[Secondary] Festival/Black soil
Taking into account the need for black soil in the eastern hills (poor soil for farming and forest planting), we can all decide next turn where to do black soil.
If our stability is at 0, then we can do black soil instead of the festival.
If it's not, then we do the festival and decide whether or not we should deal with a turn of 3 centralization (remember, our gov centralization cap is 5).
I just don't want to have -3 stability if we have any reasonable choice to avoid it, and I feel that the stability cost that the DP would suffer might just be 1, which totally is not worth the 2 it will cost us.True, but I don't think I'd ever want to see what kind of shit would blow up into our faces if we ever had to sit at -3 stability for any length of time.
^Talks about how the color is just a warning that we're not yet at the cap.
*keeps our people poor so they can't rebel*Any higher and our provinces start spending econ to build walls, when I'd prefer they do stuff like research and study stars. 2nd turn in a row btw!

They're both true. Black soil production expands with the population but black soil sites were established locally because black soil was hard to get.That was not what the update said the black soil expanded because we expanded the forests not because our pop grew
This makes sense to me. So is it worth bombing our stability in order to steal the DP's econ and cause stability loss, or not?Perhaps I should've worded it differently: The people used to get that econ came from somewhere which means that place is now lacking those people.
If this hypothesis is correct, the DPs have econ 4. (50% to econ 0, 50% to econ -1 and stability -1) And all our neighbors need to sustain a significant econ buffer since if they ever hit a stability loss they also lose econ because of us (and likely also to the TH) If this is correct, LoO is completely bullshit to our neighbors, and all the negaverses hate us for being such goody two-shoes.
I'd rather keep trails and raise cent than plant forests. I think that is where most people are trending.
Something interesting might start happening: We will change the overall weather pattern in the region by spreading forests everywhere.
Instead of the desertification of the fertile crescent, historians might refer to our period as the Greening of the Fertile Crescent.
I think we are gonna need Black Soil to make that forest happen, especially in the dry hills. Though I do agree with the need for 'Study Metal' if we decide we can live with the trail system as is.More importantly, I think we can get a way with this:
[Main]New Settlement-Eastern Hills
[Secondary]Expand Forest-Eastern Hills
[Secondary]Study Metal
Fair enough. As long as we manage to sneak in a study metal somewhere in there I don't actually care what other actions we vote onThey're both true. Black soil production expands with the population but black soil sites were established locally because black soil was hard to get.

Imo, not. But I'd love to hear an argument to the contrary.

I really do not want to lose more cent. Centralization binds our civ together.
Old Spirit Talkers place is where the TH settled. It wouldn't be there.If we can get that to happen I will have fulfilled my ambition for this quest.

@Academia Nut where in the Eastern Hills would the new province be/extend to? Would it stretch all the way to the old Spirit Talkers place? That's the only major river in the area as far as your map shows.
Land ownership does seem the likely resolution. That will present problems, but there's no way around it if we want progress, and it's the start of what we'd really consider rights for citizens. The trick will be to ensure those who don't own land still have a voice in the government.
