Retech

I thought they were mining for ages and putting the things in the blast furnaces. Mines are being mined Horsemen keep riding Dragons continue being raised A gem is implanted in each of the dragon's foreheads to collect energy, and to control them. A grand army of five hundred dwarves with traditional gear, and a hundred elven mage-archers travel to Ned's settlement to help him take down the large settlement.

Dragons are raised and trained (9 actions) Horsemen keep riding (3 actions) Ents are given axes Miners search for adamantium to equip the whole army with adamantium weapons Chariots are constructed out of steel Horses are searched for, and bred

Several horsemen scouts are sent to find Ned, and the dragons are raised (how long till fully grown?)

Specialty made stirrups are made for the dragons, so two or three people can ride on one at a time.

The ents are told to breed Dragons are raised (I think it's two or three actions away?) Riders keep training on horses, to prepare for dragons

Disregard that then, I'll just leave em in pens for later.

The elven slaves are told to reach out to the trees in the forest to acquire more ents. The humans are kept in pens, where their life force is slowly drawn out of them and put into the giant ent. The non-slave elves are told to tend to a "world tree", which is basically a really strong and powerful yew tree which may be used as a tree house.

Incabulos advises you to "cultivate" the land around with decay, as your supply lines were getting precarious the last battle, and that you were rather lucky to succeed against such a large settlement. Your prime arrives in a mighty goa'uld city. He sees hundreds of hosts never seen before to your tribe. The council tells you of the military situation. The enemies seem to have more tribes, but the tribes of the union seem to be stronger militarily. An estimated five thousand soldiers are on both sides, and they ask for your contribution. The scouts encounter a very tall mountain range, impossible to fly over. The top is shrouded in a mysterious haze, and it might require a major expedition or project to bypass it. --- I'll make a rough map for ya soon Archi.

You won't have to worry about that for a while. Basically a description of it, and having a good idea of your surroundings in your mind is probaly good enough. To be honest, the map I have is very vague and things frequently appear out of the mist. At least it gives the mysterious feel of tribal times.

Vaguely, yes. Infact I have a map with me, but it's a mystery until people start putting the pieces together in their minds, since people are closer than they think.

Errr, I'll take a mana artifact. My minions take care of the eggs The prisoners are given the choice to join, or be executed Area near citadel is scouted and people are taken prisoner Construction on own citadel is continued

Twenty steel golems go to attack the citadel first, followed by the army of dwarves (I think I have 300 beserkers) and fifty elves with polespears. The giant ent follows close behind, throwing boulders at the enemy and smashing them. Then the eggs are recovered, raised, etc. Guards keep training, especially with mass killing magicks.

You begin creating the plant, and your god aids you with it. It is already twenty feet tall, after draining the energy from the city, and has clouded the top of the mountain with a purple fog. You're in a forest. I assumed you were exploring through the forest. The scout finally makes it into the air, and flies over mountains and valleys and such. He decides to take a shortcut over a small inlet, and is promptly devoured by a monster. It seems your "invasive species" is not welcome here. The Unionist representative steps forward. "So you must be with us. Please send your representative to our capital city, where we will give you a briefing on what you will need to do." The scouts begin to explore until the edge of the coniferous forest, where they see a transition to a taiga to the north and a vast sweeping "wasteland" to the east across the mountain range. To the west is a vast ocean with many dotted islands, and to the south is a grassland.

Yep. I think I have new dragons now, from that abandoned nest. Bodyguard begins training on dragons and using magic. Ent and siege engines fire on the citadel, which is probaly now on its last legs. Ents breed, humans breed, dwarves breed, elves breed. Scouts are sent out across the land to find settlements, which are enslaved by one steel golem sent to each.

The people raise you to the status of absolute ruler, and proclaim you their ultimate leader. Your shaman asks you if in the event of your death, you would prefer to be replaced by your child or by another qualified candidate. The seeker asks what their next conquest will be. I roll on research once when it's started, and once every year. The rolls are to just give me an idea, since I still do most of the things by executive decision. Also, generally elementals were very combat oriented, and don't use tools as well. (I also posted something in the yearly update). The scouts have trouble going through the thick forest, but one of them eventually reaches the coastline of a chilly ocean.

The destruction of your farming communities balances out any population growth you have. -Ross The Scathes are told by their gods to make the formerly golden city, a beacon of decay to spread the word of Incabulos, and the destruction that it might bring. -Mather Messengers from two factions arrive at your town hall, urging you to support their side. The Unionists want to create a nation of various tribal-states and monopolize the island which the Goa'ulds live on, but the Separatists support total independance for all tribes on the islands, to live as they would. -Earth Your people gain an innate sense of metal working through the new metal, which successfully bonds to the dragon's claw. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to make the claw much stronger. Your advisors figure that if this specialty metal is used correctly, it could be sold to other tribes as a trading good. -Grim Your god points your people to the location of a sun-metal mine in a winding ravene near your village. It may be hard to extract the metal, but it would make strong armor for the times. -Archi For centuries, the Nephilim have traveled from cave to cave in the extensive tunnel system of a nearby mountain. Your group has settled in a perch beside the mountain, with a very good view of the surrounding forest and beyond. Your government has recently been in turmoil, and they would like you, the tribal elder, to decide what kind of tribalism you would like to use. (One person ruler, altruism, council of elders, etc) --- Errr, is there a problem?

I wonder if there are other ivory towers around, since that was basically our go-to for magical equipment and quests.

Still good if it runs away, but I have a feeling it will kill us. Maybe that isn't such a good idea

I never said he was serving us. I meant I would be serving him. Or at the very least, he'd just give me something and let me go on my merry way.

He blew the Ivory tower off the face of the map...with one hit. So theoretically...one could release him and serve him as his new servant... :D

You could merge that with planeteering, since it sounds like the gameplay would be similar.

That does remind me, what happened to the demi god. :unsure:

Accepted. Since your race seems advanced, it's likely that it will start fragmented, and you might encounter more of your race as you progress. They'll have slightly better than normal relations, generally. And yes, please explain your religion, and I'll set it up. The race seems to live in jungle or temperate forest, where do they prefer to live? ---- And I'm going to start "next year" after Archi finishes with his things, so I can add him in.

The goa'ulds ask for a list of materials to test, as of the basic metals, only copper and tin have been used before.

The Kindger Gotten already seem to have basic leather armor, though your researchers improve upon it so that it is satisfactory defence to archers. The spears are as improved as they can be with the material they are made of: wood and stone. The dragons poke their claws into the material and quickly retract it. The insides of the metal have come out in liquid form and...clamped around their claws upon contact with the air. You try heating it, but it only makes the outsides of the metal harder. (Everyone has this metal, you just got a 18 to discover it first) The group of goa'ulds invent the rubber band, that doesn't exactly do much stretching.
