We've begun building clock towers in our settlements, forming pleasant town centers, contributing to the culture of an urban life. The bongs help common people track time as well.
The larger towns in our heartlands are becoming somewhat crowded - we now see a bigger distinction among classes, as farmers, herders and hunters live in the manoral farmsteads, which have grown into small villages. The towns become centers of industry, culture and education.

Gotta stay ahead.

>>45599079
I would say I unless you were attempting to revolutionise the roads them selves by changing from cobble and such to asphalt. Then there would be a case for it being under H.

>>45599039
I agree with prassel we need to also be Able defend our coast

>>45599115
Our major roads - the one that connect our cities - are the best in the world - highways made of concrete and stone, built in the most straight lines possible. We can build more roads and connect the manors to the road network more directly, but we'd have to have major technological advances to make roads that are better than what we have now.
Also, keep in mind our population and our production capacity - we've done great things with a small population, but there are limits to our scale.

>>45599016
This

>>45599301
True but when you consider that the population of Europe hit one billion around 1800-1830 it really sets to proportion how well we are doing.

I say its time to solve the mysteries of Babaduad

>>45599449
I suppose our foresight to much of what went wrong with Europe is a great boon.

>>45599584
I'm okay with this

>>45599585
True, we have achieved so much with a population of less than a 5000th of what Europe had at the start of the 1800s. If we keep this up we will invent cost-effective space flight around 200 million.

>>45599584
me too, lets send a scout or two to this city

We expand our shipyards in Victory, Millport and Coasttown and build more caravels and flyuts.Larger fishing ships are built as well. Sea trade further improves. We've also set up a colony on the northern island, which is fairly self-sufficient.

Mupdate. Decided to call the new colony "Shale", since that's one of the things we found on the island

Babaduad now. The city is a direct threat to our soverginity

>>45599758
Yeah we had a spy network there, I think it's time to see what information they gathered and analyse what they know about the tower.

>>45599758
how?

>>45599695
either we eliminate the cannibals or we investigate Babaduad

>>45599789
That's the city far to the south right?

>>45599798
The city can march their troops directly to the gate of centerhold or Millport and divide our empire before we can moblize, making them the only ones having bridge access

>>45599801
Yup, I say we also improve our spy network.

We've had some spies in Babaduad until now, but the High Leader has decided to increase our espionage in the city. He now reviews the reports.
The twin-city of Babaduad-Xinian has been known to us for many years - it is a major, neutral trade hub in the north, on the crossing between what were once chink and hibibi trade zones. It has no standing army or government that we know of - while minor crimes and intrigue are common, any major threats to the prosperity and stability of the city are ruthlessly dealt with by mercenary guards. The city is home to many artisans, traders, entertainers and all sorts of mercenaries and lowlifes for hire. Everryone is allowed to bear arms freely and it creates a natural defence of sorts for the city, as a large part of its 20 000 inhabitats could be counted on to defend against any external aggressors - in the past, the feens quickly learned their lesson after trying to demand tribute and had since left the city in peace. Babaduad, on the eastern side, is primarily hibibi populated, while Xinian, on the west, is chink populated. The Great Rose Bridge connects the two sides and gondolas and ferries also provide transport across the river. The bridge is high enough that river-going trade ships can move under it and the city connects traders from downriver, as far as the Pajit empire, to the chinks of the Sunset seas and in recent decades- our own nation.
In Babaduad stands a single, lone spire. Natives of the city either refuse to talk of it or warn outsiders not to bother with it and just enjoy their time in the city. Interestingly, when we discovered the capital of the Pajit, Vajni, we found an identical spire there and the locals had the same reaction to it.

>>45600066

>>45600137
Agreed

Agree

Rolled 28 (1d100)

The High Leader, Kurio, wants to gain more information on the mysterious spire. He's ordered his spies to kidnap someone who might have information on it...

Rolled 79 (1d100)

>>45600474
Guess we don't find out anything

Rolled 14 (1d100)

>>45600474
While this man didn't know anything, at least it's because he wasn't anyone important, so that means no diplomatic crisis will explode.
>>45600507
We've got suspicions of a hibibi courier who may know something though...

Rolled 31 (1d100)

>>45600556
grab him!

The courier must have indeed known something, because the moment we turned our eyes away from him, he bit his own tongue and later died. Now, suspicions about some group trying to access forbidden knowledge in Babaduad has arisen and more mercenary guards patrol around the areas and at night.
If you still want to try and gain information through kidnapping, give me another roll

"Ah, crap, they're onto us"
Our actions are being noticed. We must try to cover our tracks or consequences will never be the same.

>>45600675
Is there anything stopping us from simply occuping the city on the basis of the towers being extremely suspicious of just demanding to be allowed to investigate it

>chinks

Is that really necessary?

>>45600947
Whats wrong?

We just barely managed to erase the trails leading to us. Our spies will have to lay low, we'll switch them with those from other cities probably.
>>45600848
It could hurt trade between the nations, but other than that, we know of no other potential consequences.

how dumb are you?! srsly fucking stop it already we almost got caught twice and you CONTINUE to try? fuck sake.

>>45601061
Maybe we should send some people to the empire to the south to do some digging on the tower there maybe we can learn something about the one in Babaduad?

>>45601061
Supported. Send people with the intent of settling and immediately build a shipyard.

We expect little resistance from the locals, as during our last expedition we killed most of their warriors.

the smartest thing would be to use them as slave labour until our camp and dockyard is done before killing them

Merchants are fairly straightforward - some pleasantries and a lot of bribes. After a series of discreet payments, we gain access to a "well-informed gentleman of choice company".His knowledge stretches across many topics, but he will only discuss one thing with us. He understands we wish to learn of these spires.
After the proper exchanges, we finally are able to recieve information.
The spires represent what he calls a "merchant organization of vast power", which always maintains six such spires at important cities around the world - Babaduad and Vajni have such a spire and apparently the Hassein capital also has one. These spires guarantee a degree of international stability - as long as "the contract" is not broken, a spire-nation will not fight another spire-nation. Breaking this "contract" will mean another nation shall take the spire position.
The last thing he is willing to tell us is that the Feen Khanate used to be host to a spire, but one of their Khans broke the contract - that coincided with the beginning of the end of the feens.
