(Purple is future builds)

If, for some reason, this is now allowed, then, because I am probably gonna be away(Especially if I am going to have to fight a battle againt Retech to just get to a reasonable starting position), then the tribe will go to where the city are on the map and begin construction immediately, which should, at the latest, be finished for the 26th.

Other notes:

I am happy to trade with people, but it seems that I am isolated by the mountain on one side and the waters on the other...though this does not seem too bad considering the destructive nature of those peoples...Also, since I have a pretty self contained economy at the moment I am going to be a fairly hard customer to trade with...

The purple expansions are my plan if I am allowed my township and am still not around between now and the 26th(I will be 'around' but not enough to launch a full building project so... might as well just post it and let it get on)

Expansions are only really outposts, when I am back I will expand them as seperate clans(By the way, I don't plan all of the outposts to be completed by the 26th, Retech can decide what is finished where, though obvouis focus is on the one closest to me....

Maps are, oddly, viewed best, in terms of asthetics, at 50%...But look nice(to me) at all magnifications.

Oh, Research is focused on discovering some sort of material better than bone to make arrow heads out of(since currently it is Stone or Bone...and bone is easy to get a hold of) Should such a method be discovered the research effort will turn to some basic medicines, experimenting with local flora to try to find healing herbs and such, as well as generally discovering more about the local area.

Should there be some kind of an attack the Bladed-Archers(Not sure why they are called that, when they are armed with stone mauls and bows....but anyway) will be sent to intercept the foe. Bladed-Archers are, not elite, but they are Regulars, as opposed to conscripts or natives or just people who know how to sword fight....They are trained most days for a few hours a day, mostly at archery, but there is hand to hand and close-quarters weapons fighting training too.

Should be emphasised that the Bladed-Archers are clothed in Lizard-Leather Armour, but most normal people wear nothing(Since fur covers most stuff)

Oh, yeah, Nephilim are very much like cats, in that they prefer to sleep near each other, as opposed to seperately, as humans do, hence why the houses are rather small.

Houses are two stories because, A) one underground is pretty safe, B) Underground will be cooler which, making summers easier to survive and helps keep supplies fresh longer(not that this really matters, since lizards are slaughtered as and when, and food resourses and stored in the store rooms... but for overflow and such I guess) C) Gives the Nephilim more versitility, since they are comfortable in both envrionments.

-Icu

 

Many of the large beasts disappear from their raiding parties, so your farming communities are slowly rebuilt.

 

-Ross

 

Your massive population growth rate balances out any losses you had in the past year. Your god tells you about a powerful location, known as the Oracle, and asks you to control it for him.

 

-Mather

 

The Separatists strike deep into the Unionist territory, wiping out the fishing villages on the Western Coast, while fighting to a stand still in the other fronts. The scientists create two prototypes of a weight-based flinger and a rubber band based flinger.

 

Casualties:

500 Separatists (4500)

700 Unionists (5300)

Popualtion of the Western Coast

 

-Earth

 

Your gods tell you about a location of a holy object known as the Oracle. They tell you it is over the ridges of a mountain, an underwater tunnel of an inlet, then within a paradise on the other side.

 

-Grim

 

Your god shines a light on a distant object far away, telling you to retrieve it at all costs. It appears to be past a very tall chain of mountains, and past a strange formation of waterfalls and streams.

 

-Archi

 

Your researchers bring you several different materials to use to make arrowsheads, asking you to choose two to study each year.

 

Shiny peach colored thingy, flexible and malleable

Very smooth and heavy metal, bends only when constant pressure is applied

Stone

Specialized "sharp stone" from the mountains

Fish teeth (remarkably looks like a bodkin)

"Moss" excrement

 

 

Errr, is there a problem?

[archimage_a]

"Moss" excrement

Shiny peach colored thingy, flexible and malleable

 

Also I have 8 monks(Temple Guardians)

And my armed forces have increased to 50 Bladed-Archers.

 

Also how far(Roughly, in miles) am I away from the mountain and River? I don't want to research fish tooth arrows which I can't get to without armed escort....

[Earth]

non, mon ami.

i send one of my scouts to the beginning of the place, along with one of every breather. i then send them in to walk.

i also take the other fire breather the hell awway from the scathe infection.

I'd say ten or so miles, but since you live in the forest, you pretty much have dominion over it (you have nothing to fear from it, unless some bandits come along or something).

(How many are you sending? I don't know how many kinds of breathers you have.)

 

Your party reaches the foothills of a very tall mountain range. There may be other ways past the mountain, but the only one you can see currently is over the top.

 

Neither normal or quick reply works, chrome will not forward me after going to the main page, here is what I tried to post:

 

The researcher attempt to make the designs better as well as looking for other kinds of mechanism.

A group of jaffa smears a rubber band in fat (preferably whale) to see if it has any effect.

 

 

Gotcha. The researchers ask you which design you wish to prioritise. They think that some sort of muscled power stone thrower might also work.

The Jaffans are not expert enough to hunt whales with any efficiency.

[Seraphi]

The Scathe move towards the oracle, devouring all in their path.

[Earth]

there are 6 types.

[Sheepish]

Delete please.

[Retech]

Could I join, I don't understand.

Is there a map or anything.

 

Yep, sure. There's a little template that you fill out with your species description and stuff, and I'll generate a small tribe for you. Then I'll just ask you some questions, and you're off!

 

For the map, that will be coming probaly in the next few days, as people find the oracle. :P

It's a mix between the hegemony and dungeoneering, you choose a race, their god, etc. then you start saying what they do.

[Retech]

And if you're don't have too much time on your hands, or if you are going to be away for a while, you can post a general summary of what you want to build, what you want to research, where you want to explore, how large of an army you want, etc. Then I'll work that into the yearly (daily) reports that I make, so that no one is far behind.

[Sheepish]

-Prays that it isn't a mind-control race of micro organisms which makes it so hard for me to think of storylines-

 

On another note, I got an outsider to play a tavern game! :thumbsup:

 

 

-Dances in victory-

[The_Mather1]

He's not an outsider, he's been here for a while, just look at his posts/threads here.

[Sheepish]

Delete please.

[Earth]

meh.. reanimated anyone?

[Retech]

Cool :)

 

I'm an insider now!!! :o

 

No, there not any super-uber-power race like what Ross_The_Knight has there, they will just have the ability to produce a certian chemical.....

 

The problem was that I couldn't possibly think of different responses for "Scathe spread out and devour the land." I can do that automatically in yearly posts, but it becomes impossible to figure out how to respond to that after a while.

[Grim_]

Whee the children are trained with horses. Bronze lances and armor are created (for the horsemen) and the high priests train with their weapons. 200 Kinder Gotten are armed with bronze spears and 100 decent archers are given bronze arrows. 100 Kinder Gotten are trained as horsemen as well. The group in the forest attempts to clear part of the Heart of the forest to create a shrine.

[Retech]

The Scathe move towards the oracle, devouring all in their path.

 

Your Scathes are particularly well suited to the journey, and arrive at the Oracle first. They encounter various temple guards, who appear to have powers bestowed upon them by the gods. (Plan of attacks?)

 

Whee the children are trained with horses. Bronze lances and armor are created (for the horsemen) and the high priests train with their weapons. 200 Kinder Gotten are armed with bronze spears and 100 decent archers are given bronze arrows. 100 Kinder Gotten are trained as horsemen as well. The group in the forest attempts to clear part of the Heart of the forest to create a shrine.

 

The various soldiers are trained (any chance you could list your army size now?)

 

The group in the forest begin building a shrine in the center of the forest, where they are assailed by several shades.

 

Ra tells the researcher either to make something that uses the strenght of bendt wood to launch something in a linear movement or something that uses a soft end to increase the speed launched by a arm (balista/scorpion and trebuchet), or preferably both.

The jaffa are to use fat, the whale fat was only a preferance.

 

The fat has no effect. A basic version of a catapult is created, and if used correctly, could be a valuable asset. However, it's unlikely it will be able to be a standard weapon for your army for a while.

[Grim_]

The archers shoot the shades with flaming arrows while the spearmen create a defensive circle (I do not have a standing army persay but currently I have in the forest: 100 spearmen 50 archers) Trained I have 150 adult horsemen 200 spearmen and 100 archers equipped with bronze arrows.

[Retech]

The shades appear to be immune to your attacks while in the darkness, though they are in great pain nevertheless. They are paralized for the moment by the pain.

[Grim_]

300 favor is spent to call down beams of light upon the shades. Construction of the shrine continues.

[The_Mather1]

The scientists sets two people to work out ways to make the trebuchet better and the rest attempt to make something using the principle of bending wood to launch projectiles linearly (balista/scorpion).

The jaffa work on developing a martial arts style.

Ra prays for Bob to dispose of the diety guarding the pronghorns, spending 200 points.

[archimage_a]

Well fine.

 

Archi inaugerates a ritual of Cathood, sending out the oldest children(10 each year(how are we doing population growth, by the way?)) into the forest and mountains to discover new lands and to become Cats among Men(As it were).

Seeker instructs the childern that climbing to the tallest peaks and exploring the lands of the future outposts are desired, but that any and all discovery is encouraged. All of the children are given 2 unit of Lizard Steaks each as well as 1 unit of bows spread between them, and 10 units of arrows spread between them, as well as bone clubs, swords and other stuff made of bone)

10 Domestic Lizards are trained specifically for them to go out with.

 

To make up the new deficet:

 

20 extra lizards are killed to provide the extra meat.

10 extra lizards are domestically trained.

1 extra unit of yew is cut per year

10 extra units of pine are cut

1 extra unit of bow string is made

1 extra unit of bows are made

10 extra units of arrow shafts are made

10 extra units of bone tips are made

10 extra units of claw vanes are made

 

Research:

10 Magi also look into researching how to train Lizards to be warfighting Lizards.

30 Magi are researching the materials for arrow heads

7 Magi are researching local flora.
