Retech

Kimako asks the other men what happened, before going back to the bodies and examining/looting them.

Got it. --- -Earth Your scout flies over the nearby landscape, and see several primitive tribes of hunter-gatherers. They look up in awe at the tremendous size of your elemental scout, and many drop down to their knees, in fear or in worship.

You really only need one elemental to go scouting, since these are pretty big creatures. Your children are being educated well, and it's likely that they will be more intelligent than their parents. Your advisors ask you if you want to teach them with a religious education or a secular education, and ask what god you want to teach them about.

Your people are now in control of a hundred porcupine-beavers. Your stealthy spores begin to multiply, but it's likely it will take until next year before they begin to make an impact.

Of course you can. Sends out scouts, detail a new religion, find a new god, build an army, etc. The nature druids and monks quickly find their living quarters in the forest/monastery respectively. The rest of the population is struggling to cope (you have 500 people left btw), especially with the fact that all the babies went with you, leaving 250 babies to take care of.

Kimako runs back to the barracks thingy, and asks the leader what the hell is going on. After she is cleared to leave by the leader, then she heads back and examines/loots the bodies.

The forces charge gallantly at the Fisher forces, before they are repulsed by their long spears and destroyed, save a few survivors who slipped through the cracks. The Fisher army leaves. You have a feeling that they might find you eventually, and that you will have to submit sooner or later. Meanwhile, the more peaceful group has no town or infrastructure, but they are more intelligent and weaker than the old Kinder Gotten, effectively giving you millions of years of evolution in a week. Okay, done. The village is quickly assimilated by your surprise attack. Your generals advise against attacking the other villages, because they seem prepared for a unified defence. The species you have taken over seems to be some sort of needled-beaver, with the highly advanced wooden dam technology, which they use to raise fish to eat. They don't appear to have a god.

The peaceful tribe replies that you must choose soon (one day to choose) which side you will go with. However, they allow the government to stay with them. The scouts fail terribly as a result to intervention by their god, and the next day, they surround your village once more. They seem much more ready, making the first day seem like warm up for them. The Scathe fail to create the tower, but they find that they are already on the top of a rather large hill. They see several primitive tribal civilizations, all seemingly connected by a common language. Your advisor begins to walk out of the room to deliver the orders, but he turns around. "You are aware that we won't have anyone gathering food, right? We don't exactly have homes or anything in our town at all!"

Please check the yearly updates (daily updates) for info. Anyways, each of your individual elementals happens to be very smart, but overall, that's the harm of having large creatures.

Kimako carefully examines the bodies, and does a little looty looty. She is watching out for any evil things that might just come along.

"You must elevate your powers from decaying mere grasses and small animals to decaying entire civilizations! You must better yourself, against my teachings, to decay all others. Do you understand me?" The University will be finished next year. Your advisors ask how many light breathers there are. (Numbers pwease)

The pacifists flee with the nature druids for the hills, where they have set up a peaceful, scholarly community. Meanwhile, your warlike brutish community is stronger physically, but less intelligent. The Kinder Gotten barely begin their fortifications before the sun begins to decend from high noon: the beginning of their advance. They march forward with their spears, and despite all the efforts of the slingmen, 950 spearmen reach the area. The superior training and weaponary wins the day. Their soldiers retreat for the traditional nightly rest, before their attack tomorrow. Casualties 300 Kinder gotten clubmen (500 clubmen, 100 monks, 50 slingmen, 50 fanatics remain) 150 Kinder Gotten Spearmen (850 remaining)

The Scathe go on happily munching along until their god appears to them, almost "in person." "You must spread my name throughout the beings of this world, but can you do this in this state? You must move upwards. The more decay you cause and the more followers you win, the more favor you shall receive." You realize that research for such a large amount of things might take a while, but it would be much shorter if you built a town and hired researchers for the universities. Archi is around Tier ten, which is the second highest tier, besides a mystery god that will be revealed to a lucky person alter on. Also, the leader aren't controlled. The Goa'uld begin their prayer, though they only manage to reach one willing Ori, though he will require more favor and more commitment than a normal god, as he is a tier four god. It means that he can do more powerful things, but you have to be more devoted to him. "I am Kirby, god of the night! I will help you, if your tribe devotes its resources to my honor (convert to a theocracy, or some variation) and spread my name throughout the lands! If you do not, then I will not waste my time with you."

Kimako heads daintily to the boneyard, making sure she isn't ambushed by random things.

The Fisher force marched in full battle array, with large streaming banners and shiny bronze spears. Their feathers were padded with leather straps and they marched in neat ordered rows. The first army reached your second town at dawn, charging into the center with heavy casualties. The fires were lit and the army was almost incinerated, if not for the aid of the Fisher god, which put out the fire. Barely a hundred soldiers remained of that army. However, the second army reached your primary town near noon. They began to wait for a few hours, for psychological effect. Your general is reluctant to send your soldiers out into battle. Your population begins to grow apart, with five hundred wanting to run away for the hills, while the other thousand wanted to charge out with full battle array. Your advisors warn you that you must choose a side, or both may potentially desert you. Casualties for the first part of the battle: 900 Fisher Spearmen 1 Kinder Gotten (He was napping and forgot to leave the village)

The ancients reluctantly agree and move to assasinate Archi in the land of the Gods. They are quickly dispatched by his awe inspiring powers. Your priests lose their connection with the divine (their gods being dead), and realise that Archi is several tiers higher than the ancients, and that it was not wise to try to kill him. (Just so you know, there's a whole hierachy of gods. Most of you start with tier 0 gods, and you will learn ways of improving that later. For the moment, Archi is very high up, and the King Fisher is a decent ways up from your regular gods.) Your elementals quickly settle down, and begin feasting on various game.

Kimako tells them about her offer of support, that she was talking about with the anarchy folks before. If they accept her into their ranks, then Kimako asks to purchase a better weapon, maybe a longer ranged accurate weapon. Then she asks the leader about any assignments he has, preferably one with lots of exploring and looting.

-Earth Where do you want to settle down? Tropics, temperate, volcanos, etc. -Mather The symbionts follow their instincts: burrowing into and taking control of one's mind. However, when they arrive in the cranium, they discover that they can no more remain there for long as they can control it. There seems to be a very powerful presence in their minds.

Kimako goes to the patrol, and asks them to take her to their leader.

Your elementals seem pretty efficient in their hunting already. You figure that maybe you should settle down someplace before you begin agriculture. The goa'uld pray to the ancients for this to work, offering 300 points. The ancients begin their godly business, and the rogues sneak in successfully amid the conflict. However, when the symbiotes are almost implanted, the rogues are found by guards sent from the heavens and easily killed. A booming voice calls out over the battlefield. "I have returned." The armies cease fighting, and chant out in unison. "Our great god has returned. Long live Archi!" Your leader gets a feeling that if he was a bit less greedy and tried to loot technologies instead of trying to take control of the entire faction, the god might not have returned so soon.

(Whoops, too many things were I'm called Jen. It's still Kimako. :P) Kimako asks the anarchists if she will have some backup, or maybe some equipment to destroy the patrol. She says that her government is still trying to covertly sneak into England without being detected, which is rather quite difficult.

Jen goes and talks with the people at the Anarchy faction, telling them that with her "group's help", they could spread their faction across the wasteland.

Kimako runs to find shelter, having been interrupted by some loud siren.

Your advisors tell you that the fire brush may work, but wonder if you are assigning the entire population to battle or just your military. The group barely enters further into the haze when they encounter a large hill, where they decide to rest, for a smokey (though see through) fog rests over the area further in. The armies now seem to number in the hundreds already, and they've been fighting for at least a year in this single battle. A mound of dead corpses lay in the middle of the field, impeding the charges of their calvery and chariots. Then a loud battle horn sounds, and the cry "For Archi!" is heard throughout the ranks of both armies. The leaders of both armies step forward for one brief instance for a quick exchange of words. "Mather, why don't you see the rightness of our cause? Archi is the god of LOGIC, he doesn't roll dice with the fate of the world." "Then Mage, why are we even in this pointless war? Because the great Archi, god of MODERATION allows it to be so. He views it as fair! There is no way we can comprehend the great mind of Archi, so we should roll a dice to figure out what he thinks!" "Just because he's been away so long, does not mean we can replace him with chance! Better to try to emulate his actions." "Bah, we will not allow you to destroy our great civilization." "For Archi!" "For Archi!" Then the leaders withdrew to their respective headquarters and the battle began again. You have a feeling you might be able to sneak out some advanced technology if you're lucky, but you're likely to have many men slaughtered.
