If you fail to get Trelli after humbling yourself to the Khem... expect to lose a lot of influence.

How helpful are the Khem's navy in taking Trelli?

Hopefully very!

It has always been wild to me how rare the idea of zero was, given the number of times *the absence of stuff* occurs in daily life. If I'm keeping track of my pantry to know when to buy groceries, the ability to write "none of" in shorthand seems super useful.
You have me on my edge of my seat. I hope an update comes soon!

There are only 11 votes and it's been less than 12 hours. Calm down.

Extremely ungentlemanly of u to not be constantly writing updates tbqh how dare u
I was thinking of the update that list options, and then finally update that lists the outcome.
I was hoping we stir the pot even more by investigating the pegan communities in Khem. You could call it the Ymaryn Renaissance.
[X] Accept (Khemetri gain King of the Hill, possible delay in guild industry recovery, -1 Authority, unlikely +1 Influence, probably take Trelli next year)

Not sure if we ever saw the benefit of King of the Hill, mechanically at least. Prestige was good supposedly, but we never really saw it have an effect since we always had it at "higher than everyone"

Disappointing. Players' opinion have led me to be more optimistic than I otherwise hoped to be.
A little redundant since you already said that the project is going well. I believe it is 2 years since we started the project. Would be nice to track them automatically, something like 2/3 progress so that it will be easier to keep track.
This project just got started. 1/2 progress here. So next turn, the project should be completed.
I assume that the authority point is returned to us?
With the vote going the way it has, we'll lose an authority point.
Disappointed that our rolls are so low. We need new customers after all.
2/3 progress done if I judged correctly. it will bring us a much needed treasury point next turn if all goes well.
Beyond 100% success. Two influence points well spent. Disappointed at not unlocking the Grand Library, however. We need to talk to Kus more if they have more knowledge lying around. Unfortunately, Kus diplomacy roll failed us.
How many years is this? I think we're in the third years of adoption. I hope combat bonus steadily go up.
Accounting:
Lost -1 influence due to terrible news of Trelli. Hopefully we'll regain influence point next turn.
2 authorities locked up on Sacred Warding.
Gained back 2 authorities for failure on regaining control of the hills, and diplomacy talk with Khems, but expected to lose 1 authority in exchange for ships. Authority point is much harder to gain back.
2 influence from failed diplomacy mission returned.
1 influence continued to be locked up in resettling the core.
2 influence from kus math study returned.
In total, we're looking at a projected:
1 authority.
3 influence.

There's really only one option. Stalling here won't do us any good.
[X] Accept (Khemetri gain King of the Hill, possible delay in guild industry recovery, -1 Authority, unlikely +1 Influence, probably take Trelli next year)
The adoption of the Zero is a big one, it's a corner stone need to get a lot of *extremely* useful stuff, like double-entry bookkeeping.

The sooner we retake Trelli, the sooner we have an army on the western shore of the Ylthon. That will help our diplomatic efforts to get Greenshore and Tinshore to rejoin. "Of course you had to go it alone in the wake of the Khan. Quite understandable. You did a great job. Still, the People are back in business so it's time to rejoin and enjoy the the many benefits. Why, our army to your south stands ready even now... to help you deal with those raiders from the west... for instance."
So, here's two things we have to worry about:
1. Money, money, and money.
2. Fielding a big enough army to force Western Walls to give in.
We can't really take full advantage of troops levy because we just don't have enough money.
So, we take Trelli. That might gives us 0.5, and annexation of Hathatyn should give us 1, or at worse only 0.5. Currently, income is -2, but it's really -2.5 if you account for Khem's upcoming KotH status. So -2.5 + 1.5 with Trelli and Hathatyn gives us -1 income, or worst case scenario -1.5. Treasury is at 1/10, but resettlement of the core should net us a 1 giving us 2/10.
Our treasury could very well be 1/10 or 0.5/10 assuming that we don't need to spend money on anything else.
To sum up our potential income source to break even or more:
1 Hathatyn
.5 Trelli
.5 Tinshore
.5 Greenshore
.5 The Hills
That gives us...3+ potential income, repairing our total income up to...-2.5 + 3 = .5. Even if we were to grant that Trelli gives us a full point, it will only equals to 1 income, a pittance.
Either way, the bare minimum means we cannot afford a levy, let alone expand our navy. Invading the Black Sheep is just a pipe dream at the moment. We need new customers!

Don't forget a potential +1 from Trelli plus another +1 from Guild Industry every couple of years once it is fixed.
I counted only 0.5 for Trelli.
Given that the Guilds give us 1 every 2 years...That means 2.5 income...Who woulda thought? The Guilds are very profitable, all things considered.
That's the equals to Hathatyn, Txolla, and Tinshore combined.

Hmm, I count as a 1 as the loss of income from losing KotH is a separate thing to it.
One thing we CAN do is once the army takes Trellli we turn them around and send them to the hills to say "Taxes are not actually optional."
It would be profitable and bring more of our lands under our control.

It didn't take into account KotH.
In any case, we need to find new customers or new product lines. Any suggestions?
The Hill and Tinshore are equally profitable, and Tinshore is probably much easier to subdue. Even if we were to subdue all but Western Wall, it wouldn't give us enough income to call up a levy to invade Western Wall or pay for any investments.

I think @Kiba is right that Tinshore is the correct next move - sending the army to try and subdue a province that was specialized into a defensive frontier sounds like a recipe for a slog.
