Expansion: Expand east, send scouting parties to look for things of note in the general area.
Construction: Begin constructing larger roads across the empire. Link me and Rubidian by one mega road. Build an embassy on our borders. Facilitate trade between both of us.
Technology III: Develop Ceramics. Look for red ores. Anyone who finds a large deposit of red ores will be rewarded handsomely. Try and develop aqueducts when concrete is made. Improve our mathematics even further, develop tools such as protractors and rulers to aid in measurements. Develop more long lasting paper through the addition of additives. Try and develop hydraulic mining once aqueducts have been made.
Technology II: Begin improving our masonry. Use wedges of a water absorbent wood for this. Also try and smooth stones using sandpapers or something. Develop glues using the bones from dead animals. Create basic surgery implements from shortened. Develop antibacterial solutions to be used in conjunction with this. Begin dissecting human bodies post mortem to learn more about the human body. Develop glass if possible, then begin working on dyeing and increasing the size of panes.
Technology: Begin researching more advanced engineering, ie crossbows, pulleys, pumps and Ballistae. Improve our roads further using-->. Try and create basic concrete. Add volcanic ash if we can find any for waterside construction efforts. Create animal drawn ploughs. Develop actual crop rotation. Find leguminous plants to help aid this. Begin looking for more powerful fertilizers.
Culture: work on unifying the 2 areas via educaton and making them rouhgly equal in investment, infastructure and population
Reaserch: kites, multi-lense magnifiyers (to fix inversion), the nature of other celestial bodies, simple clocks(water or mechanical), and more work into machinery,
Projects: continue expansion of arable land and look for more and better ways to do so, build an observatory and academy atop one of the mountains, begin work on a second waste road to the edge of the plains, same plan as last time
Military: outfit the army with steel arms and armor,step up training to prepare for new gear, have crossbowmen fire in 6-10 rank banks (continuous fire) then split to geruilla, train all troops with the bow, heavy formation work with tower shields and halbards, outfit carts for mobile catapults and ballistae, train siege weapon teams to rapidly dismantle and move them, begin work on crossbows and ballistae with steel arms and springs, and build armored carts with interior hicrasaur treadmills
Iron: refit blast furnaces, mine it, change over 1/2 of the forgeworks and build more, replace copper with iron anywhere strenght is an issue, begin expirimenting with steel (specifically damascus and spring steel), build water-wheel trip hammers(Zhou-Han dynasty) and expiriment with pressue vessles
