Vestra Imperiosus Civitas

[Earth]

I'll wait it out then, hopefully i get good news.

[Retech]

:mellow:

[Grim_]

1: Another team is sent out to gather more wood

2: Workers begin construction of houses.

3: A squad of macemen are trained with the supplied maces.

[paul191600]

3. The three gathering teams are sent out, fading away in the lush forest.

 

1, 2. The foraging parties head to their assigned tasks, respectively. The men begin harvesting additional lumber around the meadow, storing it there. +3 wood.

 

2. A large group of citizens head off towards the proposed camp site, setting up temporary dwellings until the camp is fully constructed. (6 food and 28 units of construction resources needed for a new camp)

 

Not an action: Waiting for the three gathering teams to bring back their materials, as well as the thingies for one and two

 

1. The large group of citizens heads out to work, gathering resources to build their own houses. Hopefully they will have more incentive, because they are building for themselves and their families. They use resources gathered to build/complete the city.

 

2. Researchers begin on the idea of a basic canoe, made with either wood, or wood with hide.

 

3. Children and mothers not currently occupied with anything are sent to the river to gather reeds and leaves, which are used in the construction of the city.

 

(If there are enough resources, then the city is completed)

 

The three gathering teams automatically bring back resources at this point, hence why I disregarded them. All automatic gathering will be stated during the coming scout / event / announcement post.

 

@rocco:

Whoops, apparently the index for your stone supply was right at the start of a new page. You are right. Here is the edited action:

 

1. Craftsmen work with some of the freshly-cut wood to create a mass of axe-handles. The stoneworkers of the camp make a large amount of axe-heads as well, completing quality axes. (Add -2 stone as well)

[The_Mather1]

1 The foragers are sent out again, this time to get only wood and twigs.

2 As the huntsmen return they are given most of the spears, the rest are reserved for combat and fishermen (as harpoons).

3 A scouting party is sent out to locate any possibly viable campgrounds near the lake.

4 Stones are used to build the resource storage (the one that's currently just a hole in the ground).

[Seraphi]

1. The scholar is given some stone to work with.

 

2 actions banked, 10 actions currently in bank

[paul191600]

-Reports and events- (Giving an hour or two for revisions of today's actions)

 

Japan:

 

One of your craftsmen comes running to you one morning, holding a medium-sized circular object. He call it the "wheel', and demonstrates its use by rolling it down the road.

 

Shortly after dealing with the craftsman, Keirichi tells you of improved techniques to shape stone, and even the prospect of building magnificent structures with it.

 

Your workers tasked with finding wood return, with 9 units of it. They quickly return to their work after stockpiling the lumber.

 

The large assortment of hunters return, with their arms full of wolf pelts. They throw down the pelts to you, and your personal guards store the 14 units of hide in a small wigwam. Many of the hunters seem like competent men, but one stands out in particular. Your are certain you have seen the man before, and attempt to recall his name (name him please :P )

 

Some of your villagers complain about a loud banging emanating from the wilderness, and others seem somewhat disturbed by it.

 

Gathering teams return with:

14 stone

 

 

Kaol:

 

Your crafters finish the work with the stones. They seem to fit your specifications.

 

A loud banging of drums can be heard coming from the valley below your village.

 

 

Dakara:

 

Gathering teams return with:

7 hide

 

 

Belgium:

 

An artisan tells you that a successful "wheel" has been created, but was stolen shortly after. However, the concept has been finalized.

 

Gathering teams return with:

3 flax

8 wood

 

 

Vale:

 

Gathering teams return with:

8 stone

7 wood

 

 

Elysium:

 

Both of your scouting parties return. The first, tasked with locating any local fauna, returns, telling you of curious birds flocking not far from the village. They note that some of the birds have extraordinary feathers, shimmering in the light. The other scouting team returns, telling you of a strange stone found near the river. It is a dull white, although it seems to shimmer slightly in the light.

 

Some time after talking to you scouts, you hear a shriek towards the end of the village. By the time you and a few of your trusted men arrive, you come across a gristly scene. One of your villagers suffers a few large lacerations on his arm, but he seems to be standing over the dead body of another man. Upon closer inspection, his wooden spear seems to have penetrated the stranger's neck, leaving a bloody mess. When questioned, the villager says that the strange man tried to attack his children, but was ultimately unsuccessful.

 

Gathering teams return with:

11 wood

10 white stone

 

 

Phantoris:

 

Frank returns to you, holding a strange piece of hide. Upon further inspection, it seems quite stiff and durable.

 

 

Talamh na fir olc:

 

Your hunters return, bringing back 8 hides from the trip. One of them also brings you a fibrous plant, found by the small lake.

 

Gathering teams return with:

8 stone

12 wood

 

 

Blade:

 

The large hunting party returns, with 19 wolf hides. They tell you that they killed every wolf in sight.

 

Scouting parties return, telling you of a large cliff nearby in the forest.

 

 

Mongolia:

 

Your scouts return, telling you of a large grassland, with a lush forest towards the east. They also report that fluffy white animals were found not far from the village.

[Earth]

Great!

1. ask the crafters to begin tanning the hides, so we can use them later.

2. Check the injuries and wounds of the people who hunted to wolves. Ask them, afterwards, if they would like to be the start of the city guard.

3. gather a team of masons to explore the cliff, and ask them to look for deffensible stone gathering areas.

[Retech]

Fibrous material = Construction material?

[Icuownage]

Revised actions -

 

I upgrade my village to T2 (discussed with Paul) taking away 4 food units and 20 construction units, leaving me with 2 stone 1 lumber

 

The remaining stone and lumber is used to construct granaries and a palisade around the village

 

Tsukune, the champion of the village who slain the wolf is now the captain of the military, his hunter team have become the military force.

[Retech]

1. The large group of citizens heads out to work, gathering resources to build their own houses. Hopefully they will have more incentive, because they are building for themselves and their families. They use resources gathered to build/complete the city. (This is gathering wood)

 

2. Researchers begin on the idea of a basic canoe, made with wood.

 

3. Children and mothers not currently occupied with anything are sent to the river to gather tough mud (clay) and stone, which are used in the construction of the city.

 

4. Carpenters use tools to chop five units of wood into planks, hopefully allowing them to be used more efficiently (aka more units of planks)

 

5. Four wheels are combined with two thingies for the wheels to turn on (I think this is part of the wheel research), which is then stuck on a platform that can now roll around (wagon). This is used to help haul wood to the village

 

+ Any number of wood gathering/clay gathering/stone gathering actions necessary until the 28 construction material resources is attained, whereupon the city is completed

 

(If there are enough resources, then the city is completed)

[Grim_]

4. A scouting party is sent out to look for more of the fibrous material

5. A party is sent out to the lake to fish.

6. Workers are to gather more wood.

(whoo 1 action banked)

[Retech]

I was wondering if they could be used as construction materials. Like for roofs or supports or something. :)

 

For reference:

 

Flax 5

Wood 19

[archimage_a]

So how many actions do I have?

(I count 7 banked now?)

 

Anywho:

1. A log is cut into tiny peices, around the size of finger...Hard, gruelling work, so children are told to help.

 

2. The plants that have grown from the seeds are looked at and more seeds gathered, then spread around the place the plants grew. (So turning 1 plant into 50-100 plants)

 

3. Greg's Braves are outfitted with the new sharper axes.

 

4. Dead animals are collected and a butcher is given the task of discovering sinews and harvesting them ready to be made into string.

 

5. Large square containers are made.(Around a meter square by half a meter deep)

 

6. Scouts are sent to survey the drumming source, they are given clear instructions that they are scouts, not envoys.

 

 

Three daily actions are banked.

Leaving 4 Actions.

[paul191600]

(Will post the results tomorrow, with the events / reports post. Cycle will still reset today at 8:00AM GMT, as usual)

[Seraphi]

Revised actions

 

1. The proclaimed scholar is given some white stone to work with.

 

2. The idea of a wheel is suggested repeatedly and subtly to the villages craftsmen.

 

3. The white stone is examined for any special properties it may have.

 

4. 6 more logs are cut into planks.

 

5. A team of villagers is sent to capture some of the birds, and lightly clip their wings (So that they are not capable of flying over the pen in the next action)

 

6. Wooden pens are built near the farms and any birds which were captures are put in them.

 

7. Basic wooden roundshield are proposed.

 

This leaves me with 4 banked actions, I believe.

[Earth]

Ignore!

-Reports and Events- (Note that the cycle will reset on 8:00AM GMT of Saturday, due to having work / plans on Friday)

 

Japan:

 

Your proposal for villagers having their individual farms seems to be a success. Many of the villagers have tilled at least a small portion of their land, with personal crops growing in the plots.

 

After much work, the camp of Karikiro has been built up, now boasting stone and wooden houses. (Karikiro becomes T2 village)

 

Gathering teams return with:

12 wood

15 stone

 

 

Kaol:

 

One afternoon, you spot a group of villagers, surrounding a plume of smoke. In the center is a teenager, twiddling with two sticks near a fire. A tiny spark seems to emit from the sticks as he practices his technique. Your guards take him away, flogging him until he reveals the secrets of fire.

 

The scouting party tasked with discovering the source of the loud drumming never return.

 

 

Dakara:

 

Your scouts return, telling you that most of the area around the lake seems ideal for settling, most areas having some form of wood, and even stone.

 

Gathering teams return with:

7 hide

 

 

Belgium:

 

The cart is finished by the crafters although it seems somewhat crude, even clumsy.

 

Your villagers report that the new camp is still under construction.

 

Gathering teams return with:

3 flax

8 wood

5 stone

 

 

Vale:

 

An artisan approaches you, showing a completed wheel.

 

Gathering teams return with:

7 stone

8 wood

 

 

Elysium:

 

The villagers tasked with retrieving the birds return. The birds they carry seem quite large, some with magnificent tails and beautiful coloring. They are stored in the pens, and some villagers complain with how vocal the birds can be.

 

One of your scholars returns with the white stone. However, it seems to have cracked in half revealing a dazzling inside. It shines in many colors when it strikes the light. The stone itself is a pale white.

 

Gathering teams return with:

11 wood

10 stone

 

 

Talamh na fir olc:

 

Your foraging team returns, with 7 units of the reported fibrous plant. They tell you there is much more at the lake, with some suggesting to propagate it at the village.

 

Gathering teams return with:

8 stone

12 wood

 

 

Blade:

 

The mason team returns from the cliff, bringing a large amount of stone. Some of them note that the area seems prime for harvesting. +12 stone.

 

Your craftsmen present the treated hides, which seem to be stiff. One man tells you he calls it "leather" +19 leather.

[Retech]

Not really an action: Boat guy allowed to take as much as he needs, up to five wood

 

1. The team of carpenters makes a few more carts and team up with the stonecrafters to make a series of stone axes.

 

2. Scouts/haulers are sent with and the cart following the southern branch of the river fork eastward into the mountains (aka the heartlands up there). They load up on rare stones and resources (lighter the better), but otherwise normal stone.

 

3. The lumberjacks are equipped with the stone axes and they head out with the carpenters and haulers to the forest. The lumberjacks cut down trees, which are then processed into planks, so that the haulers can bring them back to camp. (This is because the planks are easier to transport). The rest of the folks just continue their regular gathering. Children with stones, mothers with clay, etc.

 

 

REMINDER - City under Construction

 

For reference:

[Alg]

1 - Have a medium-sized group on collecting wood and food, as well as whatever else is in the areas neighboring my unnamed settlement.

2 - Ask Frank if he can craft the hide into clothing or armor.

3 - Have a craftsman use some units of wood to make basic spears

[Icuownage]

My three actions:

 

-Feast is prepared to commemorate the Tsukune, the hero, and our hardwork which has paid off as living conditions and food have peaked :D. The feast is prepared mostly from the food the villagers have grown themselves, to show just what you get when you work hard.

 

-(I'm not sure if this is an action but) The resources neccessary for the previous plans are now readily available.

 

-Tsukune and his men are sent off to scout out the weird noises the villagers complained about

 

And if 2 wasn't an action then - The proposol of turning our reeds into papyrus and begin the process of record keeping.

2 5 pieces of skin are cut into 1 cm thin slices and given to the tribe's best weaver to be wowen into a net (weaving was practiced already before 5000BC).

3 A group of ten people is chosen, 50-50 male and female, they are told to pack their stuff while tents are arranged for them to bring with them, while the scouts are told to decide where would be the best place for a new camp.

[archimage_a]

Huzzah for flogging. Is there anything it can't do? <3:

 

 

Anywho the orphaned children of the scouts are looked after by the village.

[Earth]

Okay.. Changing actions.

1. Send the stonemason team back, wth a group of workers to set up a good camp. Same is done with the lumbering area.

2. The tanner (Who shall be known as Tam, if that's allowed.) Is given a special workshop, and is told to begin experimenting with 10 units of leather for more durable armor.

3. The person who i set to research stone weapons is given 7 units of stone to work with.

Bank actions:

4. I see if there is anyone among the Deepwood Guard (Current name for the reserveists defending the town.) or anyone, really, who has a knack for leading men into battle.

5. A team is sent out to find animals that could be tamed, or other usefull materiels. They are to bring back anything that is plausibly able to be taken, although they are told to avoid trying to bring agressive wild animals back.
