Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

C - This is the only choice we don't have to bring with us.

[Hotfire90]

A seems to be the least harmful option.

[Prophet]

A I've been wanting to combine our and Parsia's cultures since the first game. I'm hoping that this might be a step in the right direction.

Edit: Or maybe B would be the better of the two for going towards that goal? Not entirely sure but I'm going to keep my vote A for now.

Welp. Kind hope that we can get an heir soon. I don't think Yoe IV will end up being Emperor long at this rate.

...He might lose the support of his wife and father, and may wind up having to take Cydwyl by force and put down a rebellion here or there, but I don't think there is much Yoe IV can do that will make him lose the support of his army at this point. He has purged disloyal elements twice, lead his troops to glory, and partied at their side. Anybody seeking to dethrone him will have to get through the rather formidable Methianese Army.

On a somewhat related note: Did we get any new resources on our half of Parsia?

I have a bad feeling about this, especially after Yoe was compared to Alexander just a couple of votes ago.

[TankKit]

C
Yeah, I remember how Alexander adopted Persian customs. And I want to stay as far away from Alexander as possible, since his empire crumbled to dust when he died. Let's not encourage that situation. Also, I'm worried about issues with moving our capital and would prefer to keep it closer to Cydwyl, who have been allies with us for much longer and are in the process of integrating with us.

Edit:Then again... Haspen, if we moved the capital here would it still be roughly the same distance to Cydwyl? Because I'm thinking that, if we're going to go for integrating with the Sim empire as well, moving it now could help with making sure the capital is in a more central location in the future.

[andrea]

oh, it is not adopting customs that I am worried about.

This reminds me of the situation leading to the fire of Persepolis. Conquered capital, lots of partying and wine (especially wine), a scantly clad lady (and boy too in this case) with a grudge after the former regime... (not stated, but they are freed slaves, so it is reasonable to assume)

[TankKit]

Hmmm. I'm not sure which choice would lead to that, but it actually seems most likely to be C.

Also, is anyone else getting the feeling that we're on the road to being a tyrant? We're a hedonistic king bad at keeping his promises who is also a genius who's hard to kill, lucky, and good at fighting, not to mention we have full control over the most powerful army in the area. Oh, and we're hard to poison, so that would likely be less of a problem for us. The thing is, we're not immune to poison. Combined with with the fact that we don't exactly have full control over Yoe... I'm actually thinking we may want to hold off on doing much of anything until this Yoe is dead.

None of these is going to help us with Cydwyl; all of them are moving us farther away in esteem as well as location and/or culture. (Away from Methiant, too.)
C seems the least problematic . . . but only if we can keep it a secret long enough, or else all our other plans explode.
I can't see any actual advantage in B.

I guess I could vote for A if D isn't allowed. Hopefully our wife will veto the dresses and pastries don't sound all that dangerous (until we get the Fat trait at least).
