We didn't leave that to chance.
We have proper palisade in place, and we already have "overwhelming" force here. There was no chance at anything happening until now.
Additionally, Ling Qi is not the one who is singlehandedly deciding on building plans, so if you feel this too much OOC, just consider it a decision by Renxiang, overriding Ling Qi's concerns.
Thought that doesn't remove argument about "why leave it to chance".

Yeah. When it comes to people's lives, we shouldn't leave anything to chance. The damage may not hurt the fief severely, but someone will have lost a friend or loved one and that's unacceptable when we could have done something to prevent it.
Ling Qi has always made it a point to never forget the little people in her Way, and I see investing into walls now as a extension of that.

These are our people, we are responsible for them, so if the option is there I would rather take no risk at all. It's not us who we are putting at potential danger, but them. It would also be them who have to suffer the consequence should something happen.
I'd rather not have to tell the people who lost someone or got hurt that we could have done something, but we didn't.

Honestly, if I'm running the numbers right it's not like delaying Shrine a turn harms our odds of getting cultivators significantly.
Like, let's say we have four more rolls (because I can't remember if we've been told when the war arc happens but four sounds reasonable). If we get shrine asap then we have 48% odds of cultivators. If we delay it a turn we have 45%. Meh.

May as well get this out of the way so we get more space for future projects

To be honest, narratively the walls feel like something we'd probably have to circle back around and be forced to do every year, because right now our population is growing very rapidly.
I will say that, man, the Upkeep for those Settlement walls is kinda absurd. We can cultivate incredibly rare and valuable materials and pay less Upkeep than those dang walls.

I have to assume there are active components to them that wear out keeping out everything that needs to be kept out.

I'm going to guess that military-grade wall-wards are rather more ressource-intensive than keeping bonefires alight.

These walls are also rated for potential nomad incursions. Which is like having walls rated for cannon back in 1500BCE.

The upkeep is for rebuilding the fucking things every time the settlement grows beyond them.

Is building walls with no thought for future growth a common rookie mistake for new Barons? It sounds like it would be.

I imagine building walls with excessive optimism for future growth is a more common rookie mistake, considering both the drive to succeed and the material circumstances of most rookie barons.
