I'm quite sorry for linking that for the 865th time, but I feel as if it needs to be in public view...it ties in with what I'm going to bring up next. :mrgreen:
Now for real feedback.
My personal opinion is that we should become a lot more rigid, militant and politically aggressive. We need to be bribing officials, trying to cause chaos between nations in order to further our own goals, allying ourselves with small villages and later assimilating them to our strict regime. We should be conquering those who protest our ideals, sending them to special outposts we're they're put to labor.
Of course it all comes down to numbers. We don't have enough people for one of these grand schemes, unfortunately, but I hope we will one day.
At the very least we should be trying to expand our empire's lands and influence.
