Security is important now because G-Tech can abduct any unsecured populations.


Yeah, but to do that he's supposed to have troops in your province.
He can't have troops in your province if you have an army protecting it...


An army that is stronger then his, that is.

Nope, because G-Tech said he sneakily kidnaps people. That means they can capture any unsecured populations.

So is there any practical way to protect against G-Tech's raids, or is this gonna be something we just have to live with?

My understanding is that the Coastal Raids could capture population without Security, representing the ability to strike at night/in areas armies aren't protecting.

Someone needs to compromise here! Obviously G-Tech's raids shouldn't be practically unstoppable, but the thing about sneaky abductions should be considered too.

Fine - sneaky raids within a certain distance of his Ancients.

Because him attacking my population on the other side of the continent would be a little stupid.

I like the idea of him only being able to enslave uninhibited if our army makes up at least 1/5th of our province's population. You'd probably be able to see his guys on the horizon, so there would be time to build up an army. However, it's often hard to keep track of where everything is because of the screwy map, which is confusing. The interactive map is hard to read, moved my starting location to another continent (seriously, I picked a place that was inaccessible to G-Tech, but now I'm extremely close), it's just bad.

There is one possible way to efficiently fight off leviathans. If someone, anyone, can beat G-Tech to alchemy, they could make an anti-ship thing, like naval mines, or a really big net.

Not nearly as fun as the flame cannons for shore bombardment I'm going to mount on said Leviathans ;)

Maybe one of the new guys, like Brunslavia, can save us from having to see that.

Don't worry, the Bombards I'm devising will be useful for shore defense too.

You researched agriculture and bronze working and built a farm and mine. That's the basics covered. You should make another unit of population with your excess food. Depending on your available fertility and mineral wealth, you can either build another farm or mine. Alternatively you can start researching another tech.
