Nobility in Humility
Quality of It's Own
True greatness is expressed in quiet dignity and humility. That one's nose is not stuck up and their head not in the ground can greatly prevent tripping, although perhaps their dreams will also be less grand.

The People cut an artificial river in the hills without the use of metal.

Whenever the People complete a major engineering project, they also gain Art and Mysticism.

Additionally, any time a new settlement is founded with a Main action, a new holy site is produced for free, granting +1 Mysticism.

Written Code of Laws (Copper Age)
Bold, early innovators, the People have established an early written code of laws. While it will undoubtedly change over the centuries, this early establishment of what the rules definitely are with clear guidelines for punishment will serve as an important cornerstone for maintaining stability and clarity of order. Upgrades Enforce Authority to Enforce Law, doubles the strength of one Policy action per turn, and allows for the 'Megaproject support' Policy.
