Retech

Jen removes the kunai from her shoulder (what is that anyways?), patches the wound, and chucks it back at the person. She then does a combo attack with elements of nature, aeromancy, ice, and void (like before, but just combining that into one action). She tells her wisp to get up and help her.

Jen tells the ice wisp to fly around the person and block attacks aimed at her. Then Jen takes advantage of the stumble through a combo attack, using nature magic to sprout vines to make him continue stumbling, aeromancy to blow him over, ice magic to try and freeze his eyes shut, and her polemace in a powerful blow to his head. (Sorry for the multitude of actions, but it's like a combo attack)

Jen tries to heal her arm, while telling her ice wisp to jam itself in the person's eye holes (of the mask, and eventually the eyes). Meanwhile, she hits using the momentum of the polemace while cutting under the person's elbow.

Errr, Jen was fighting the rival, I remember. So, here goes nothing: Jen swings her polemace at the rival, while attempting to freeze his joints solid. Hopefully he will be distracted by the dual attack. Her ice wisp protects her.

Duos!

Errr, I don't exactly understand why you're trying to bend wood. Your people put tin and copper, and make bronze. The strange thing is that your people already knew how to use bronze.

Well the thing is that when you have these things, you're not sure if they're pure or they're just a lump of dirt. Your tribe does have a greater sophistication, so I let you name stuff, but things don't correspond perfectly with the real world. The mysterious metal does not melt despite the incredibly hot temperatures of the furnace. It just sits there.

Well you don't know that they're exactly tin and wood, if you know what I mean. Your advisors ask you how you want to make the forges (giant pit of fire, anvil thingy, etc)

Oh right, it's daylight savings time now. Or lack of it. EST is now four hours behind GMT, as a note to everyone. :P

9:15 PM :thumbup:

Many of the materials you test don't bend with the pressure of a Jaffa's hands, but bend by the hammer. You discover a strange lumpy metal which doesn't appear to bend despite your best efforts. The Scathes quickly reduce the rest of the mountain into a heap of decay, enough to feed several tens of thousand Scathe groups. However, a new menace appears. An anteater-like race has emerged from deep within their hidey holes. The effect of the poisonous plant you made seems to have strengthed them, and they are specially immune to the standard method of Scathe attack: infection.

Yep, definitely. In a decade or so (you can find it sooner), if someone finally finds my easter egg, then the world map will be revealed to them through PM, and in five years after that, it will be revealed to the world. Those with tier 5+ gods, develop a decent astronomy research (like if that becomes your specialty), or convinces the player who unlocks the map to share it with them will get it for free. At that time, I'll need to put a rough drawing of where your settlements are on the map, so people should look at the area near them and make sure I got it right, so we can have a nice version of the map to use.

-Stares blankly at the question, as a result of not ever playing the game before or understanding anything much about it-

There isn't too much of a sense of scale, but to give you an idea of the mountain, your people haven't discovered any way around the mountain, and any expedition over the mountain would lose half its people. Your people are living very spread out, so you could probaly fit five thousand people on the side of the mountain portrayed on the map, and many more down in the forest, if you figured out some subsistance animal husbandry thing. The area of Mather's map is approximately twice as large length and width wise, so you can tell his island starts out much more developed. Of course he experiences plague, famine, riots, outlaws, bandits, sea serpents, storms, and total war much sooner, since he chose a seemingly very evolved race. Same thing with Earth, where he chose a very powerful race, so he faced a lot more challenges earlier on.

The core of your village is the big yellow thing, and the yellow dots are just small groups of houses. Of course those are movable, it just gives an idea of how far your tribe is spread out.

Think of the hair bundles that girls use to keep buns and ponytails. They're like that, except they're fatter, they are harder to make, and they are of weaker strength. I think that the map is pretty self explanatory there, though if you have any questions, just ask. Shades of grey are different elevations of mountain. Yellow is your tribe, pick are the unionists, and the purple are separatists. Lavendar are coral and other rocky outcrops, which hinder development. Green is thick forest, with the outskirts being less thick.

It's basically a giant glob of non-sticky rubber which can be inefficiently used to stick random things together. Of no real use, that I can think of. (It's like tough gum)

It'll be sorta blobby, but I'll try to finish it in 10 minutes or so. They laugh at your invention, but begin using it as a household tool anyways. The unionists take control of the 50 jaffa soldiers, and continue their military expedition. (This is a large war, so I'll get you a map of your island to help plan stuff)

Remember what Ross was saying about how the standard strategy seems to always be trapping in a pit and far-casting? Maybe there's another idea for that.

I'm working on a map right now, but it's hard to co-op it from the big map unless it becomes really obvious exactly how things look on the rest of the map. Will a rough sketch suffice?

Five hours? If Ross was a robot, maybe that would be achievable. -Sneaks into Ross' room and tries to implant a cybernetic brain-

Oh look, it's almost 8pm. :^_^:

Alright Earth, enjoy lacrosse.

Um, I built one. It was the thing that took like twenty actions, and I finally finished it. --- How long until my army gets to Ned?

I thought I had a massive blast furnace the size of an entire village. Oh well, as many scouts as needed (like five hundred) to find enough iron and coal mines to fuel a massive blast furnace for a while. Meanwhile, all the smithy minions build a ridiculously large blast furnace with all the captured slaves, such that it is the size of a small village. The horsemen have hopefully arrived, and offer the services of an army. The army that is sent is also sent with the giant ent.
