Well I want us to be EVEN MORE rich Greed is good after all and the more econ we have banked the less we have to worry about
And I'm convinced now is the time to slip in while the HK and TH are preoccupied dealing with the DP in it's death throws. You know how wonky the dice are, there's a good chance the DP will either miraculously recover or go down like a bitch. When that happens we can't actually be of what the hell is going to go down. The TH and HK will probably try and consolidate their respective gains with small raids going back and forth. That's when they'll be looking for a settlement like our Badlands to hit anyways.
Huh...they might actually do that. Since we're sending in reinforcements, it's actually really likely that they'll set up walls while our reserves keep up the defensive perimeters.
We also want to study metal, which we've put off for a couple turns. We also want to boost stability, which is gonna take a hit this turn. We also want to boost Centralization, which is gonna take a hit this turn. We also want to send scouts along the south coast to find the raiders. And so on.
Stahp Bluefur! you're only making it more and more appealing.
We can do that as a secondary later, having lots of econ will only benefit Everything, extra population also heavily benefits us fluffwise
Redcoast has several expand econ slots to chug through and the ability to build more settlements. The babyboom is much more likely to end due to environmental factors than running out of steam. The settlement for the new province is also only likely to get us 2ish econ from the babyboom.
Narratively speaking, I actually think it's more likely to result in chariot archers considering we just invented new bows.
Why not? We've got tons of defensive bonuses, so grab unclaimed areas while they're open and turtle up while we boom our economy and tech.
Why? If they try to attack us on our land, we can just skirmish them to death. We'd need massed warfare if we were doing invasions and trying to take down walls, but... we're not. So why bother?
Where did that happen? If we're obviously so far ahead of them that we're slaughtering them every time they get close, yeah they'll stop trying, but that would be investing a heck of a lot more into a military build up than it would be to just eat the occasional action to fight them off. Exponential growth, my friend. We want to get as much bonuses to our growth rate as we can, up until it start harming our growth due to enemies being able to hurt us.
This right here is exactly why we need to take that province. We want to do more things, and the only way to do that is by increasing our actions per turn. And how do we do that? Adding more provinces.
It ends this turn, the original baby boom said we had 3 turns, were on the third turn from then. and we have not expanded so this is the last turn
because the boom doesn't need to last forever. We have so many other things needing done.
We keep saying that every turn, and thus we keep putting Study metal, Expand Warriors and etc off.
Except we alrady have 3 actions, and adding another province won't add to that.
We are a long way away from the world richest. We also want to get metal done with and ensure that we have some Stability cushion as well.
We use three economy slots every turn. We had 12. We should be good for one more turn.
When did it say 3 turns?
I am not really sure we should do this having coastal raiders could give us another free make boats option which will increase our chances of new boat tech .
Then do Main settlement and main warriors, then next turn we main Chariots and secondary metals, boom done.
At that point...we could just go full archery AKA elves and just wreck everyone.
Hmmm I thought it was 3 turns lemme check
Or we can do Main Chariots, sEcondary Metals, Secondary Stability, then next turn do Expansion. Baby boom, while nice, isn't the critical thing you're making it out to be.
Because time is not our friend here. We want to get our foot in the door before two invigorated challengers appear, or even worse, someone else makes a play for local hegemony.
