Traveling from afar, your people come to this new land to escape the tyranny of those who opposed you. Blessed with Magic, your Elven brothers can heal the wounded, create Water, & cast fire from their palms, and influence your Architechiture with it.

You've set your Citadel in place of the Arid Desert, a harsh place that seems nearly void of life. Your people chose here since their supplies weren't prepared to go any further than this. The occasional Sandstorm does occur, however your structures are far too superior for its erosion.

Your Society is a Monarchy. You have a Prince, as well as his court. What will the Prince's first decision be?

A. Scavenge for food.
B. Try to Improve the Citadel
C. Try to improve weapons.
D. Research new tech.

D. Work on using water spells to create agriculture

Map

>>16709355
A. We'll need some good food and water before we can start doing stuff.

>>16709355
I'd say E. We can create water, so perhaps with further advancements we can create food, or create seeds from which we can begin agriculture.

>>16709381
do you mean E?
anywho i chose E for his reasoning

>>16709355

e. Magic, Big magic. Try and create a well spring at the center of our citadel, turning the area around the city into a large oasis.

>>16709392
how did we get there? which direction anyways?

Finally Settled in, Your people start to focus on their Magical Prowess. With a focus on rations slowly enough artificial seeds are crafted from the arcane. Together with your Water spells, farms are established.(Farming Obtained)

No other events have transpired. What shall you do?

I submit my vote for A scavenge for food. we have scarce food and need to find more.

>>16709481
From the south. it was a great distance. (They shouldn't come into play, unless you guys want to say otherwise later on)

E- Practice magic

Repeat until we become masters of the universe.

>>16709517
Also, how long is each turn?

>>16709496
E

We need to learn how to animate farming equipment etc., so we can have productive capacity despite our low populace

I have changed my mind.

F- Explore to the north

Or at least until we have a magically powered marvel in the middle of nowhere in the desert where no one can bother us and we can be left alone to create our perfect society.

>>16709552
>>16709509
Damn skippy we're researching better magic. It's a better version of teching the fuck up.

If there's such things as sand worms (The Dune kind) in this universe, we're all dead without some kind of defense.

>>16709609

Oh yeah. Oh wait.

MAGIC! The worm is now lava!

Arcane. Your people have placed it as their main focus for the next few months. Through rigorous study, your magic is now capable of simple animation, bringing the farmers to expand their fields.(Minor Animation Obtained) You've also made use of the wind, beckoning it to blow where you desire.

>>16709662
E. Practice Magic.
Let's start learning some more offensive magic

A1. Trade for the Slaves

>>16709662
It could be useful to have serfs. How much do they want?

Also, E, practice further magic. We need to learn to animate better and better, maybe make sand creatures able to do heavy lifting and shit. Or even better, construct shit out of sand/telekinesis.

>>16709662

D: Research new tech
B1: decline the humans offer.

>>16709689
I'll say E too, if we can make buildings out of compact sand, we won't even need structural tech.

Also, trade for slaves regardless. Treat them well, however.

>>16709662
C1. Free the lizard men, trading for them by selling magics to the humans of course.
F. We need to know what is out there guys!

>>16709689
It would bring your food down to poor, barely feeding your people & the Lizards.

E, moar magic
C1 - use our fairly powerful magic to enslave humans. Offer lizardmen citizenship

>>16709662
E, more magic. Preferably some scrying or expansion upon the arcane.

Also, trade for the lizardmen, but treat them as equals.

>>16709662
Accepting their offer leads to the greatest good for all parties. They might starve without food, in which case the Lizardmen will too. So we give them some food in exchange for the Lizardmen, whom we promptly free and offer work in our fields, though they can brave the desert if they so choose. So,

E. Research more magic
A1/C1 Trade for the Slaves, then free them.

Althought I would love to research magic I fear we need to know our surrounding first.

F.

Also am I the only fearing something like this might happen?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3BxvHhz4XQ

>>16709662
E, because magicka is good stuff

And trade for the slaves, constantly reminding them that they have a debt to the elves for their lives. Make use of their advanced farming.

Will research more magic lead to stabilizing the resources of our tribe?

If so then E.
Otherwise B.

E & B1

You have taken the Humans up on their offer, much to their delight. They quickly make the exchange giving you the proper bindings for the Lizardmen. Upon their departure, you notice the Lizardmen seem quite frightful due to your magical skills, however you're kindess is proven when they are made citizens of your citadel. They become hard working members of your Society, even volunteering as Militia.

Meanwhile, your wizards delve further into their art, creating servants out of the sands around you. These elementals stand 3 feet tall, yet in teams can carry great loads. (Elemental Servants obtained) In addition your Fire capabilities now burn the Sand, creating a rather unique clear material out of it. (Glass obtained.)

I actually vote that we improve our Citadel's defenses by shaping the sand with out magic, and send out a few scouts to find out what the Orcs are up too. Hopefully we can just ignore them, but we have to be sure.

>>16709848

B1

Avoid the hell out of the orcs. They outnumber us two to one, at least we don't have much they could use. Except slaves. And magic. Perhaps we should avoid them if we want to live, the world isn't a happy place I think.

We should build up our citidel. Also try to make a Da Vinci death laser with glass if we can, but that is more for laughs.

I might soon take a break from my thread and join this one since this seems interdasting. Plus I have some social obligations coming up.

E & A1


Your Wizardry has now come to the point of Scrying, although such a spell requires the focus of your Wizards & a great deal of time to learn all they can of an area. They also improve their Animations, rendering them permanent constructs.


You go to investigate the Orcs, approaching them with No signs of aggression. One of their own, Addorned in Golden armor, rides over to your scout in the same manner. "We are the Great Kar'Rod Clan! We have perpared this army to lash out at the most evil Lizardmen who Defile this land in their Ungodly actions! Join us in our Crusade against them, & we will give to you great weapons!" With your scout back in the Citadel reporting this, you can tell the lizardmen are quite nervous at the moment.

C1. Offer token support in the form of food and water while they're in the area, but refuse to aid them militarily and hide the Lizardmen presence in the area. We must be neutral in the conflict, as it does not aid us magically.

Also keep boosting up that magic. Fuck weapons, weapons are for proles and losers. Well, magic weapons are okay-ish, I guess. Better than weapons, certainly, but not nearly as good as magic.

>>16710151
agreed

>>16710122
... If the Lizardmen were evil, why do we have Lizardmen slaves? Something doesn't fit here. Beware /TG/, beware.

E. Well i think we should upgrade some sand elementals to glass so they can also be used for battles.

B1.

>>16710162
Maybe we should also find out what grievance the Orcs have against the Lizardmen.

>>16710151
Yes, provide supplies, maybe teach them a bit of magic if they can learn it.

>Nacion, uatwedi
We must call our civilization Uatwedi.

>>16710179
Yeah, glass elementals sound really cool. Do that for E.

Oh... Well then. So the Orcs are crusading against the Lizardmen for some reason, "ungodly actions," as they put it. We were just sold lizardmen as slaves by a group of humans.

E: MOAR MAGIC
B1: Decline, hide lizardmen citizens. Something fishy is here. Scry to see what is going on.

>>16710122
E to weaponize constructs/perfect scrying to make it easier/build some houses.

>>16710192
fuck yeah, fucking ceramic knife golems tearing shit up

>>16710246
we don't have ceramics :(

>>16710122
E. Practice Magic. Hopefully we will gain a magic that allows us to protect our citadel better. I seriously hope these guys dont remember where we live.
B1. Decline the Orc's Offer Politely. Avoid mention of our lizard people and dont mention how small we are. Say we have strict rules about war and can't attack those we haven't met but that we pray that they receive justice for any wrongs they have suffered.

>>16710263
1+

>>16710263
It'll be fine. We'll just cloak our Citadel in enchantment and glamour, raising a great sandstorm around the exterior that'll prevent anyone from getting in. Well, so long as we can get through it just fine. Maybe the illusion of a sandstorm, or one that doesn't impede the progress of elves. Or we can just disable it whenever we don't need it.

My point is, armies can't march through massive eternal sandstorms. Ergo, we won't actually need to erect traditional defenses. And even if they do get through, glass golems.

>>16710122

E & C1

You respond to the Orcs with a great supply of Rations, much to their appreciation. Upon hearing your decline to join their Assault, They seem a bit saddened, but appear to understand your neutrality. Once back at the Citadel with the Orc Army long gone, The Lizardmen seem most thankful for hiding them. They dedicate their children to the Army, in honor of your help.

Within the Coming months, Your Arcane arts comes to even greater fruitation as Levitation is discovered. Your Wizards appear to lift great objects with their mind. (Basic Levitation Obtained). Your Efforts also prove successful as Glass Elementals become a reality. These Elementals appear capable of combat as their arms often accidentally slice through the nearbly wood & stone they were crafted close to.

We need to improve our food supply and gather some weapons better than rocks.

D

I think we should research better weapons next, the lizardmen can't use magic so they have to use our weapons... Which happen to be rocks. Yeah, instead of an army they are more meat shields. How can we fix this?

Is there any doubt?
E

>>16710312
D. Research new tech.
find ways to improve food production. we need that to get better to help our growth
F. Explore
we need to know whats around us.

>>16710342
C or D.

Actually, F might not be a bad idea if there's nothing pressing to do. Especially with the Scrying

>>16710312
we need to improve food supplies to further growth.
I say E, with emphasis ln lifting the workload from our farmera. Sand mounts or shit

>>16710312
Always more magic, E

Perhaps we can even come up with some kind of magical armor/weapons.

>>16710342

By making better weapons.
With magic!

I really think we should have to choose which field of magic we want to research since that pretty much all we will probably want to do anyways.

E. Choice 1- Practice creation magic so that we may create weapons and armor for our loyal lizard defenders.

I think a sky fortress is in order.
We already have levitation, water creation, and agriculture.

>>16710342
we could breed with them to make liwizards

The thing about E is that it can do A through H as well. E is the godstat, and by Jove we will pump as much energy into magic as we can. A turn spent not boosting magic is a turn wasted.

>>16710393
I don't think our levitation is that good yet.

>>16709008
There just was a suspiciously similiar game here on /tg/. I'm curious about where the both of you got you inspiration and rules from.

I would prefer it if we avoid the cliche Kingdom in the sky thing.

We should focus on scrying so that we know of any activity around us and for any possible threats

So E. practice scrying.

I think we can all agree that we magic all day err day, so let's focus on a school now.
I vote creation, both for arms and for food. Encourage wizardry above all other societal roles, but make sure arrogance doesn't play in.

E. levitation + elementals = awesome

>>16710432
Well, he got his from me. I made mine based off a game that used to be really, really popular on /b/. He might have been involved in those too though. For a while there were like five game masters who all did these games on /b/.

>>16710465
How'd you guys come up with the mechanics/are they posted anywhere?
Also, magic school ftw!
Unless we need more food....
Also if we use the scrying to discover some lizardman settlements, and then offer them amnesty from the orcs, hiding them, twould be cool.

>>16709163
>Redoran
Bwahahahahahaaaaah.
You guys still living unter dead crabs instead of claiming your racial birthright and learning magic sufficent to summon organic homes into the wastelands?

D

Time Passes by in this unforgiving land as you now focus on Technology. Your people craft blunt tools & Sharp nails out of rocks to craft structures from their own hands. It appears they can make no further without any other sort of supplies.

E.
Due to the extra time Available, your Wizards deem it fit to craft mounts out of sand. These mighty steeds stand taller than the horses your prince Knew of once.

"Random Event"
During these studies, a dwarf & A lizard wander towards the town, they seem quite bloodied & tired. They stumble & fall on their knees as your scout approaches them. "We've come from a terrible clash. The Horrid Orc's have butchered our nation, leaving us as the sole Survivors. If you'll have us, we can help your defenses!"

Well, it started off with a picture posted. I believe the first civilization was...I can't remember, it was like a half-year, or a year ago. Anyway, then more games popped up with slightly altered rules. Then other games altered those rules. So on and so forth. I made the picture, but you can find a few archived threads from long ago on chanarchive.

Fuck having a floating castle.

What we need is a tower. A massive tower which is run on magic.

We always build vertically, never horizontally. There are no stairs anywhere. Travel is done by magic powered elevators.

In order to use an elevator, you either need magic ability & the knowledge to start the elevator moving, or a special access key of sorts (probably a pendant or something imbued with the same sort of magic you'd use to start it without). These pendants would be given to the non-magic using citizens, like the lizardfolk.

Outsiders would have to be escorted through our tower city, and this would also make assaulting our tower extremely difficult.

E or B, whichever fits better for expanding living space to deal with overpopulation.

There is actually a Civilization 4 mod called Beyond the Board based off these games. I've never played it though.

E Always more magic
A1 take them in

>>16710484
Telvanni are more Island Elves than Desert Elves, though. I guess that Molag Amur is sort of desert-ish, but its more of a volcanic badland. I can't go around posting Island Elves when I need Desert Elves, can I?

>>16710485
A1. Take them in.
B. Improve Citadel Defenses mixing their expertise with our mastery of magic and magical labor.

>>16710485
Taking them in would be good, but the orcs will hate us for it. But since we already have lizardmen with us, they will hate us anyway...

Also, no one fucks with dwarves if TG has any say, unless we're doing it ourselves.

So...

A1
E/B

E to improve magic, or B to give better defenses. Like giant sandstorm if we want it.

>>16710485
Who asked for tech? It's pretty fuckin' obvious you can't have much tech in a desert.
How would a new settlement affect our resources?
Take the two in, use their knowledge to increase ours.

>Turn not spent on magic. Turn wasted.
E, some magic that helps our food supplies
A1

okay guys we need to expand so F+G
also with extra time use glass elementals as scry enablers and levitate them, cause we can.

>>16710498

How wide are we talking here. Because if its base is too wide it would take to long to build and if its to thin it will be too easy to destroy.

Then again MAGIC is pretty much the answer to everything.

>>16710498
Unless they kill one lizard. Then they'll teke his pendant and have one guy act as the elevator operator while taking maximum possible combatants up to the next level. It's not a bad idea at all but I don't want an assassain to be able to reach our prince just because he killed one measily little lizard.

MORE MAGIC!

GREAT FLOATING CITES!

EVERY ELF A MASTER OF MAGIC!

LET US BECOME THE TRUE FEY!

LET US BECOME IMMORTAL MAGICAL ELDRICH GODS!

PIC VERY MUCH RELATED!

E- We need to expand our home so lets amp up the Creation magic!
Magic on high gear captain!

Also A1 since their knowledge of the orcs will greatly help us and if the orcs ever come snooping around it won't matter whether or not we have them around. But tell the two that you will not get into any unnecessary fights with the orcs unless it is absolutely certain. They aren't getting their revenge through us.

>>16710531
Never actually finished their quests, did you? The tower they build for you, Tel Uvirith is in the middle of nowhere and it's implied that the only reason they don't have more fortresses in the ashlands is that they aren't allowed to build new ones. That aside, 80% or so of Vvardenfell is ash, so as long as you're an Elf living there, you're an Desert Elf to me.

>>16710548
It doesn't have to be too wide, because like you said, MAGIC solved all problems. If we magically harden the walls to be tougher than steel it should stand fine even under assault.

>>16710551
Well, I'm not saying the elevator system is the only line of defense. There would still be guards in place. And since our farming is done magically, we don't need to have it on the ground level, which means we don't need to put our citizens with pendants in harms way. They can be several levels up where they'll be safe, and greatly reduce the risk of losing any pendants.

I like that most of my suggestions have become turning points for the Arab elf civilization.
Now let's make some magic.

>>16710585
That's why I referenced Molag Amur. The primary Telvanni settlements were on islands, though they could and did grow Towers in the ashlands. I just meant that the Redoran are more desert elves than the Telvanni are, because all of the Redoran primary holdings are in the Ashlands or the West Gash, rather than Azura's Coast, the Grazelands, Zafirbel Bay, and the Telvanni Islands.

Guys,
Guys.

Pocket universe.
If we do that we win this game.

>>16710620
... well.
No matter what house one prefers, the bone armor really IS perfect for desert elfs. I think we should work at that once he don't have to worry about our immediate survival anymore.

E,G, & A1

You take the 2 Survivors in, having them immediately take to improving your Citadel. They prepare wooden & stone defenses, & provide your Militia with proper tactics against the Kor'Rod clan.

Arcane. Simply all that matters is ARCANE. Your Wizards seem to come to a break through in their arts as Teleportation is finally discovered. (Teleportation Obtained). The process is a bit painful, but entire groups of 20 may be sent at a time.

In response to your New Arcane Discovery, 20 Idle Citizens go to the outskirts of known Land & set up a small village, still loyal to the Crown.

Bone armor? From what? Have we even encountered anything living in this desert other than the odd traveling caravan?

I push that we pull all our resources to establish a safe haven for us and any who are willing to serve us so that we may advance in our magical studies and become princes of the universe.

>>16710592
I'm going to say, for sake of argument, that enough guards would beat any group of assassins sent for our prince. But about the lizard or non-magical only living up the tower is rediculous. We can't force them to do jobs that require them not to touch the ground, especially with them making up the bulk of our army. If one of them is taken prisoner while out on the battlefield the enemy will have a key to our castle and if they have any magic power (magic being the god stat, apparently) they can duplicate it too. If we dont have a good militia the enemies army will be able to wipe us floor by floor with their (presumably) larger numbers, most notably if we never build out to the sides. I can't imagine our starting tower was too wide to begin with, it only had to house 40 or so elves.

C1. Keep mages constantly scrying on the Goblins. If they seem warlike or confrontational, prepare the Glass Golems and Sand Golems to fight, along with whatever battlemagic we have available.

>>16710679
>Have we even encountered anything living in this desert
First I was refering to what the armor i called in Morrowind, not to the material WE should use.
Second: Is there any problem magic can't solve?

>>16710667
E More defensive & offensive magics.
A1 Scout, but be ready to defend ourselves if we need to.

>>16710667
E

But could we research how to do perpetual sandstorms or how to create/control them so we can be the "Bermuda triangle" of the desert. I say this because we already have sandmounts golems and shit how hard could it be

>>16710667
>>16710667

E.
B1.
Ramp up those Elementals and Sandstorms its time to squish some bugs.
If possible teleport the glass elementals right into the middle of their ranks to cause a havoc amog them, goblins tend to be quite the little cockroaches and if we make them squirm enough they will disperse and try to find a less scary target.

>>16710667
Make as many combat-ready constructs as possible. We don't want any deaths on our side. Goblins raid to survive, I doubt we can make peace with them. We want at least 50 new golems, improved with our recent advances.
Send a single sand golem, with a note. Ask for their intentions.
Mount up our militia, we may be fighting soon.

>>16710667
C. Try to improve weapons. I don't want our lizards to get slaughtered out there.
A1. Send a scout to speak with the Goblins. Hope they're just being neighborly. No need to assume war just yet. Don't let any lizards go out though. Apparently everyone but us hates the lizards.

Explore with flying glass scrying golems because having a settlement near an area we don't know seems dangerous

and A1 we need to stay peaceful as long as possible

>>16710667
E. Practice Magic, focus on food production/creation, maybe use magic to carve our way under the citadel and into the desert, making the chances of overpopulation less likely?
Plus, in the unlikely event of our Citadel falling, the Catacombs will provide a good fallback for our people to live in.

C1: Send a scout to speak with the Goblins, but as another poster said have a force of wizards/glass elementals on hand if things turn sour.

>>16710695
A militia shouldn't really be needed once the tower is set up properly. Hell, we could use elementals for our standing army, they wouldn't even need to have pendants.

And I'm not saying the tower should be as small as the starting citadel. I'm sure it is indeed quite small at the moment. But building it an adequate size (with magic, of course) shouldn't be too difficult.

Okay, I'm going to amend my suggestion to be less warlike. Send a scout to meet the Goblins, but scry on them and the meeting at the same time to make sure there's no foul play. If it looks like the Goblins are about to kill our envoy, teleport him out of there and ready for war.

F. The time has come to explore northwards.

>>16710753

Although I would like to see our kingdom prosper I belive we need to stray away from the Creation school of magic and focus on Illusion.

So far we have only encountered Races which are either weak minded or know little about magic, we must use this to its fullest and if we shroud ourselves in our magic we will never have to deal with the outside world again.

Why does everyone insist on risking elven lives? The purpose of having constructs in the first place was to combat our low reproductio/ etc.

Wouldn't our sand elementals be fucking lethal?
>Envelop enemy
>Crush until he asplodes into a mist of blood and body parts
>Repeat

>>16710800
Well, we can't exactly use a sand golem/elemental as an envoy, can we? This is the sort of thing that requires precision Elvish diplomacy rather than brute force.

>>16710801

Yeah I honestly can't see how these Goblins could possibly counter us.

Maybe if enough of them throw themselves at the constructs the others can rush in and kill us?

Goblins need to raid others to survive, could be they are desperate and will do anything to kill us.

Oh, and tell those 14 idle assholes to get a hobby. We have plenty of sand and plenty of glass and plenty of heat, so they should get practicing at glassblowing. Nice baubles, very pretty, worth a lot of money for trade.

>>16710813
Perhaps we should make a construct capable of diplomacy, even if it must be remote-controlled.

>>16710782
The thing is, the outside world isn't the biggest problem. Our people are leading miserly lives, hungry and cramped together. We have to change that.

The Holy "E", & A1

In response to the Goblin Force, you send a scout & a Glass golem to inquire about their intentions. Their Warleader states "WE LEKOS Come with Demand! Food! GOODS! SURENDR NOW & You live! Don't & we Squish you!" Your 2 scouts return with their message.

In the meantime, your People quickly seek to the offensive side of their magic. They call forth Air & Sand, Bending it to their will. With enough force, small tornadoes may be summoned. (Minor Tornado Spell obtained) Your Elementals are prepared as well.

This, entirely. We need to focus on our quality of living.

>>16710801

>>16710839
C. We improve weaponry and stay alert on the defensive. By the time we are attacked we'll have the advantage.

Sentries at every entrance, ilders at every forge.

>>16710839
E. Further research into sandstorm and tornado magic
C1. Use said tornado magic to encapsulate the Citadel in an all-but impassable barrier of shrieking, flensing wind.

Also fuck you spellchecker flensing is a word.

E Food production
A1 Send the constructs to deal with the goblins.
Also use some of that nifty tornado magic on them from a safe distance.

>>16710813
You're right and I know you're right but you understand my concern, right? We have an extremely fragile civilization and we must preserve it. How about a construct with a note, instructing them to meet an envoy with one of theirs? With scrying we can know if something's up and then teleport away/not tp over there.

>>16710839
A1
Hah! We should make an example of them. Teleport glass golems by their warchief, tornado their ranks, have the sand golems advance from the side covering our wizard that fireball the hell out of them.

We really need to expand guys, almost overpopulated.

We need better farms, or something. Food is crap, living conditions is crap, we need to fix this. I'm not so sure if magic can be our "cure all" that we want it to be.

>>16710839
Pffft. We have 50 larger-than-man sized constructs of spinning razor sharp death, plus all our sand elementals and other shit. Teleport the Glass elementals into the middle of them and slaughter them until they call for quarter, then take the rest for slaves.

make the elementals of air, we can now i guess have them used as transport system and expand civilizations.

CRUSH THEMMMM!!!!!!! with elementals.

>>16710868
We should consider looking for their towns, since it might be possible to reform the ones that aren't raiding methinks.
A full belly and a roof over one's head does /wonders/ to the attitude in the desert :3

>>16710879
I suppose we're getting to a point where we can say we temporarily have sufficient quantities of magic, and must now spend time in deploying magic rather than researching magic. It's involved with magic, I suppose, which makes it acceptable. In fact, I will support any proposal for a non-E action so long as you attach the rider "[...] but with magic."

Come, people. Let's be civil. We defeat the gobbos and show them a new way of life.
Of course, we have to kill the majority to set an example

>>16710839
E. Practice Magic.
Focus on tornadoes, so much so that we can turn a fair chunk of the desert around us into a swirling vortex, making it very difficult for an approaching army to get through. If we remain neutral, but make it exceedingly difficult for us to be attacked no one is going to go out of their way to try and take our home.

A1. Attack the Goblin Force.
Send out around half our militia, but have 20 elementals (mixture of sand and glass) ready to be teleported out before our men are engaged in battle. The goblins will be preparing to fight the small army we send out, then be taken out using surprise.

>>16710868
Agreed.
E Food production
A1 Send the constructs to deal with the goblins.

>>16710839
E. Practice Magic. Better tornaedoes and/or constructs please.
C1. Your Choice. Stall those motherfuckers for as long as possible but failing that unleash the elementals.

Guys, guys.

What if, bear with me here.

What if we bake them muffins?

Perhaps we can create great underground civilizations made of glass? Since it is underground we don't need it to be stone or some strong material other than to hold the sand back, sand is freaking everywhere so why not glass also. Building up is nice, but makes for a good target of a cannon or catapult, or trebuchet... You get the idea. All of this done with magic of course.

>>16710916

I agree with this.

B. Improve living conditions and food production - but with magic!

A1. Send the Elementals into their ranks. Lets see if our magic is even worth anything.
If the elementals prove inefficient use the tornadoes.

>>16710880
Sand horses are larger than people. Elementals are just three feet tall.

>>16710941
Why not just make a tower out of glass... hardened with magic to be 10x stronger than adamantine... shimmering in the middle of the desert like a great gem... and kept cool by magic (because all that glass would make it quite hot otherwise)

>>16710925
Terrible idea, we need more than twenty, we have no idea how efficient these are in combat! Our militia is decked in cloth and rocks, they have no purpose really. Better to Replace the militia in your plan with sand elementals, teleporting glass (for obvious tactical reasons)

let us make glass tornados and throw them at our foes

>>16710983
This is horifically brilliant

A ,E ,A1

You send out a small warparty lead by the Captain of the Lizard-Litia to meet the Goblins. Halfway before they meet, your Wizards teleport 20 glass Sand & Elementals right in the middle of the Goblins, much to their suprise. Despite the distance between the Citadel & the battle, the spray of blood is easily seen as the Elementals tear them apart. By the time the Warband meets the goblins, the Goblin leader is already running away in retreat.

After the Battle your people start to focus on their conditions, realizing the need for more food & Comfort. Using magic, Larger nutritious crops are now produced. (Improved Farming Obtained.) In addition, Through powerful magic the wizards have made small Air Elementals that are dedicated to cooling down the Citadel. (Air Conditioning & Air Elementals Obtained)

"These Elementals appear capable of combat as their arms often accidentally slice through the nearbly wood & stone they were crafted close to."

They can cut through stone, I thought them just going in spinning would have been enough to tear through goblin flesh. Plus, we can only teleport 20 at a time, hence the low number.

>>16710963
Because shiny stuff stands out, standing out attracts attention, makes others think we have good stuff, and is generally a huge target? Even if it is as hard as adamantium, if hit enough it will come down. Making it shiny just attracts undue attention honestly. Also the glass would be hot as hell, underground it will be much colder so no sweltering heat issues. Also, Vietnam tunnels with elementals popping up behind enemies and stuff. Spot of sand? No, that is a tunnel where elementals made of glass will shove sharpened glass blade arms up your- you get the idea.

>>16711006
More housing development! Tailors for luxurious clothing and bedding! Perhaps a small cafe for a decent cup of [elven coffee equivalent].

>>16710983
>>16711004
>>16711006

more magic! i want my glass tornados of Death!

>>16711006

E.

Magic is the greatest weapon we have right now, it is the most powerful resource that we have access too, and it is the easiest to harness.

>>16711006
E. Develop magical glass-blowing and glass-shaping techniques, allowing even the non-magically gifted some small profession to better the community. It's minor enough magic that even the lowest Elf should be able to produce a flame to shape the glass, and we can work on perfecting glass-crafting and glass-shaping, the products of which can then be enchanted with further magic.

F. use glass in golems as scrying glass to explore areas around citadel- With Magic!

>>16711006
Improve our conditions with magic some more.

>>16711014
We can cool the tower with magic. And what do we care if it attracts attention? Anyone would be a fool to attack us. We would obliterate all attackers with our amazing magical ability.

Stop being such a coward.

>>16711006
B

Underground fortress and homes for everyone! Secret tunnels everywhere where elementals made of glass will kill anyone who dares get in our way.

We need to start scrying as well, like general areas... You know, if we scried the goblin leader we will know where his town is.

>>16711006
Scry for suitable places to set up new cities, build two settlements close enough that you could reach them within 24 hours on a sand mount.
Make some golems so capital had 40 and each settlement has 15

>>16711014

1+ this.
Glass tower just seems like a bad idea. We should keep it ground level or underground.

We really should try to use our magic to search the surrounding area though, there might be some huge creatures living in the sand and we don't want them to pop up unexpectedly.

F- but with magic.

F
Let's see if we can't find a river or oasis or something to supplement our resources as well as scout out a potential place for a new settlement.

magic

lets see if we can do something about the non magic elf users lets see if we can make them magic

>>16711006
Holy crap! I can't believe we didn't lose a single person or elemental. I guess them goblins ain't going to try any more shit with us.
F. Explore. That blank map is killing me, there could be something awesome nearby and we don't even know it. We can use scrying magic to explore if it makes all you pussies who are too afraid to choose another option feel better.

And for serious can we have those 29 idle people do something? Glass blowers for neat trading possibilities or farmers since we need the food, just get them doing something.

>>16711006
Oh hells yes, my plan to surprise them worked!

I think we should (using magic of course) fashion huge glasshouses (greenhouses?) to increase our food production, and protect them from the desert conditions.

While some are focussing on the food aspect, other should focus on push underground, expanding that way using the knowledge of our dwarf-friend, ensuring we make it big enough to allow for a couple more generations to live comfortably.

Explore, WITH MAGIC!

Perhaps we can make armor/weapons out of a mixture of glass and bones? Strengthened with magic of course.

>>16711076
Better idea--glass and glass. LAYER UPON LAYER OF GLORIOUS MAGICAL GLASS

GLASS FOR THE GLASS GODS

>>16711006
Loot the gob corpses. Give it to the lizzies as a sign of respect for their valor and courage

We definitely need to find some neighbors to trade with. At the very least, we can exchange our glass goods for things we need like Tech and Food and Metals

>>16711115
Oooh, and this.

>>16711092
Glass is basically the perfect building material. It's made of sand, which we have approximately a whole desert's worth of, with magical heat, which is also plentiful, and with bored citizens, of whom we are in no danger of running out.

>>16711006
D. We need actual tech.

>>16711132
"People who build glass houses shouldn't throw stones"

>>16711145
FUCK YOU!

WE NEED MORE MAGIC!

E,F

Through the use of the Beloved Magic, you continue to improve Conditions. Your People, through great effort, find themselves capable of creating large balls that are velvety soft to the touch. With some experimentation, Extremely soft Fabric is made out of this material & commonly used throughout your people. ( Silk obtained)

Finally seeing the time right, Your Great Wizards use their magic to Scry on the Nearby lands. They discern a Village not too far away, in a land quite close to a river. Humans roam about on horses, hunting wolves with long edged weapons.(Discovered Human Faction)

"Random Event"
In your long Reign of Success, your people have thought greatly of you. They desire to do something for you to improve your Princes life.

>>16711164

>>16711164
E. Magic glass, magic glass.
C1/B1: Scry around for other elven civilizations, improve conditions in the desert, and invite a princess to wed to our prince. We need to secure the future of the royal line, after all.

Also, the prince needs a bride!

E Improve Magic
B1 Fucking Princess

Ooh we should send a delegation to the humans after scouting them a bit, we could trade stuff!
Also I'm torn between 'find princess' and that other guy's 'public orgy for the prince' day idea.
Princess is probably more sensible :P

>>16711164
B, B1

>>16711176

>>16711164
H: Send an envoy to the Human Settlement and discuss the potential of a Trade alliance

B/C1: Height improvements to the Citadel should be built, dedicated to the Prince in his Honor

Our prince is in desperate need of a loving, caring wife. Perhaps a bond of eternal friendship between races can be made between races?

>Elven prince
>Lizardwoman princess

>>16711145
For what?? We need to trade our way to tech and shit, not waste time researching it.
I propose we build an academy for wizards, open to all races that wish to join. In exchange for their work and knowledge they get several scholars to learn from and discuss with, alongside a place to experiment.
Of course everything must be in our language and stored in our libraries.
Anyways, we need organized education to get more wizzads

>>16711164
F. Explore. With an updated map please.
C1. Your Choice. Make those idle people kill themselves in the name of the prince they are seriously pissing me off! I FUCKING MAD! If that's not an option than find a princess i guess. Royal babies and what not, funny if the baby couldn't use magic though.

>>16711185
How about this: Find the Prince a harem and have him have an orgy with them.

>>16711167
>>16711167
>>16711167


This. We should make our subjects show us how much they greatly they think of us.

>>16711199
Get out of here, Crassius Curio.

Although I would very much like to improve our magic so that we can improve our living conditions I feel we should take some actions towards the human faction, maybe use our magic to run them away. Send in elementals and tornadoes. Once they see that they can no loger live there normally they will flee and we can take over.

>>16711164
magic and bride

Glass blowing, look into it. With magic. Lots of magic. Make little trinkets about our history that menace with glass, about golems menacing goblins with glass. Anything really, we just need some darn trading materials going around, also work into the arts for our citizens.

So, H for the glass blowing and work in arts.

Statue or princess... Hm... Doesn't matter to me. You guys choose.

I have an idea lets make defenses- WITH MAGIC!! make magical tripwires. this solves everything.

Princy needs a princess

and according to captcha- "ncekloc structure,"

>>16711164
I vote that we try and form an alliance with the humans, offering them to join our city (or depending on how close it is, expand out so that their village is included).
Offer to teach them some basic magic, like healing the wounded (something we've had form the start) in return for them teaching us about their technology/weapons.

Also, the greenhouses idea.

small request: can we get an updated map when possible?

How about this. A grand tournament, winner (Males can only be the combat representative of their sister/daughter/Etc) Gets to marry the prince.

I'm all for harem.

>>16711221
If we would improve tech, I'd suggest studying Optics. It creates the possibility of telescopes for better scouting.

>>16711228
Forgot about the second part, build a huge statue!

>>16711212
Nah. We don't need anything they have. Water? Magic! Fertile lands? Magic! Not-shit weaponry? Magic!

We can trade with them, I suppose, but we shouldn't conquer them. I propose, gentlemen, that we hold ourselves aloof from the politics of the world, remaining steadfastly and avowedly Neutral. No wars of conquest, gentle-elves. We are not an aggressive and bellicose people, not unless we ourselves are threatened.

We need to branch out our population, building a statue will only result in the lowering of the population.

>>16711228
+1 to this kinda, if they're not up for joining, magic school for tech?
Also elf prince + lizard princess made me giggle

>>16711236
>wasting time inventing telescopes
>we already have the ability to scry
What?

Come on, we're the noble desert elves. We don't kill for convenience.
Also, no fucking orgies

>>16711204
Organizing an education system for our people is fine but I don't like the idea of teaching other people magic. It's our one true advantage so we shouldn't let others benefit from our knowledge of it. We can trade for glass baubles and chachkis. You know how it is with human women they'll buy anything as long as it's cute and that'll be the secret to our sucess. Remember "Women be shopping."

>>16711249
It provides non-wizards (like our Lizards) ability to see out into the distance

>>16711250
I don't know how one has a non-fucking orgy, but I want an orgy one way or the other.

>>16711250
I vote we become Noble Nomadic Desert bandits who help strangers and only attack when threatened.

>>16711250
Are the regular kind ok? :D

+1 to trading with the 'umes
need non-shit weapons/food/city

>>16711266
If they have magic too, we could potentially trade Magics as well.

>>16711242
I agree, we should be fill our hearts with vile neutrality! Also, so that we don't *have* to do shit if we don't want to. If we were good, people would ask us to do good stuff for them, and if we were evil people would want to kill us. Screw that, let's be neutral and be on our own team.

>>16711261
>>16711242

>>16711234
This is a brilliant idea. BUT
The princess has to prove herself if she has a representative.
Either a work of art, or a beautiful song, or a new spell or something

>>16711274

here!here!

>>16711254
I think we should teach them really basic magic, such as healing minor wounds and making small flames, purely in exchange for their knowledge in technology and magic.

On top of that, they may become useful if we suddenly have little food, so a good history with them would help.

>>16711282
Hmm, If the princess is not combative, then she has to prove herself in matters of court, cooking, etc.

>>16711293
Cooking Tournament?

If we are going to a society of High Mages, a Magics Tournament would seem like a wise choice for our Bloodline

>>16711262
>>16711259
Okay, fine. But there must be magic!
Come on, we have levitation, migut as well use it...

>>16711300
Read: Combative, it would be a Managed Free for all. melee would fight melee, Ranged Fighters would fight Ranged fighters, Etc. Then Three person match would be used to figure the final winner. Domestic Magics would also be in the Non Combat tournie.

>>16711242
i vote we stay neutral in all things

or he could just mate with anyother elf to "the blood purest"

>>16711288
If, and only IF, they have magic I thik it would be okay to trade magical theroy with them. But a good raport can be acheived through other means. Selling useless, or even useful, crap made out of glass will make them like us but we can't do any glass trading if we teach them how to do it for themselves.

>>16711254
That's not what I ment though. I want us to create an environment that scholars will seek out by themselves anyway, and capitalizing on that

what about a tournament of princesses, one from every race, in which they must prove themselves in the following

combat
cooking
music
affairs of state
orgy-having
magical capabilities

>>16711320

Final Challenge: The winner from each Tier give a speech to the Prince, explaining why she should be his Queen. She will give him strong children, or she can bake the best Glass Cake he'll ever eat. He decides what the realm needs.

>>16711327
ARYAN BROTHERS TRUE.

>>16711332
Can we put that on the back burner at least, our civilization is tiny and I doubt we're are the best magicians in the world already. If we try to promote ourselves as magical badasses when there is less than two hundred of us we risk being set upon by some sort of magical tyrant from another land.

I am kinda sorry i came up with glass elementals now.... everyone now has a hardon for glass

>>16711364
CAN WE GET THE PRINCE TO MATE WITH A GLASS ELEMENTAL?

>>16711364
how the hell did the glass cut through those guys' armor anyhow?

I don't even think we have writing yet, we have to train more wizards.

That's a pretty cool name captcha. Can we use if you guys?

E, B1,C1

For a few Months, the Wizards work hard on their studies, not to delve for greater technique, but to make theirs presentable. Once done, They establish an Academy at the Citadel, allowing Elven Kind full access to the Arcane art.

Seeing it fit to Honor the Prince, the People offered up a great many choices for his would be bride. Noble Daughters, Powerful casters, and much more. However, during one stroll through his kingdom a charismatic girl had caught his eye. After but a few days, The Prince & The Lizardgirl had Decided to wed, much to the Peoples suprise. Feeling the response, The princes Court had arranged a challenge to all possible brides. They had to craft a Glass ornament like no other. Lacking magic, The Lizardwoman had to go through great efforts to craft such a material. Once all was said & done, many objects were brought forth. Roses stained to shine gloriously, Animals that held to them a near life-like appearance, & even poorly made glass statues of the prince himself. However, The winner was decided when A Glass Crown was presented, Colored to shine brighter than gold with greater detail. The Lizard woman was declared the Bride in her success, leaving the people to rejoice due to her great skill. (Advanced Glassblowing Obtained)

In addition, due to the low Population, your people had arranged for a event to fix such an error. After a week long Orgy of pleasurable deeds, the issue was handled.

The Humans have now become an issue of Debate for your people.
What Shall you do?

WE SHOULD CRAFT OUR PRINCE THE GREATEST OF GLASS WIVES.

>>16711384
It was mentioned before that they could cut through stone.
I'd assume the logic is stone > goblin armour.

Look, what else are we supposed to build? We don't even have any rocks, for God's sake. We have no metal. We have no wood. We just have, as far as the eye can see, lots and lots of sand. Better glass than sand, right?

>>16711391
D, Clockwork/Steampunk elementals.
B1.

>>16711391

E, A1. We should murder the humans and hang their guts around our glass elementals as decorations. We should also develop our magic in preparation.

B, B1

>>16711391
F. Explore. And an updated map please.
B1. Send a Scout to the Humans. The first time I'm not worried about whether our scout wil come back alive. Have him cautiously ask the how the humans feel about lizard folk. This shit is important now that she's our queen.

>>16711391
B1: Teleport in an envoy with a sample of our wares

D: Since there's a river, maybe we can direct some of the flow to our settlements.
E: I wonder if we can use our sand manipulation to just part the sands to save us the effort of digging underground

>>16711391
B
A1 - Take them as slaves and steal their tech.
Also, Lizard-Elf babby Prince

I also suggest human envoy, perhaps carrying a gift of glass.. something.

>>16711391
E/F/G: Scour the deserts with our scrying mirrors to find any other suitable locations for establishing a settlement. Then send some of our artisan-wizards to erect a new citadel of sand and glass to protect our client city.
B1: Send a scout to the human city with samples of silk and glassware. See if they have anything worth trading for, and set up a regular caravan.

>>16711429
>Make sand into glass walls
>???
>Profit

Come on guys no more pussy elves pick A1.

>>16711439
>Glass walls
Are you serious?

>>16711391
Improve our defences USING MAGIC.

Teleport to the humans with gifts of great glass wares, and ask in return for help in the technology/weapons aspect. They may be impressed by our ability to teleport too.

As an aside, make damn sure that the King gets himself a mistress. I doubt that lizard-people and elves are interfertile. Love is all very well and good, but he has a royal duty to produce a viable heir.

>>16711391
Just level with me Bishop, what do we have to do to get our "idle people" into the single digits?
Are they children and they can't work? Do we have some retards from inbreeding? There was only 30 of us I get it, just tell me what those lazy motherfuckers are there for.

D,B1
we need to build things so as to channel the magic that in which are penis' are in an ever present state of DO WANT for

sending scouts for obvious reasons is obvious

What.. strange alien world have I gone to? /tg/ not trying to murder every living thing in the most efficient way possible? I hope this isn't a dream or a one-time event.

>>16711444
If it can cut stone, it can hold sand.

>>16711444
You seem to be forgetting a key word. I think you're referring to "magic glass walls". That adjective makes a world of difference.

Glass is a liquid. Tech with magic you could create large walls that react to danger and could defend us by themselves.

>>16711459
My mistake. Would have thought Glass would have been Magic Just because Glass.

howabout scouting the human settlement making settlement near it and having fun?
and we need to implement levitation, golems need to fly, this makes them infinitely better

E. More magic always.
C1. Humans? Not any concern of ours.

I DEMAND BABBY PRINCE

... Flying Glass golems of death? Like, upper body is normal but the lower body is just a point, like a drill, and they float.

B1

more magic

lets start apply magic to everything and i mean EVERYTHING!

lets start a golem/elemental production line so we can automate their creation and have a near infinite supply of killer troops

send an envoy to the humans

D,B1
if we make weapons so as to channel/intensify our magic it would be for the best for our people both on the attack and defence of our nameless city
+would be a nice change of pace

and scout the humans to see if friendly. if not we could possibly rape there day

From this day and henceforth, the academy decrees that every fully realized mage must create a mount cor him or herself. To achieve the title of Teacher, the third highest rank after lector and magus principa, one must create or be a central member of a party creating a spell, discipline, or otherwise contributing to the academy as a whole.

Basically only great wizards teach, all of them get a personal mount.

Can we get those fucking NEETs somewhere too btw?

>>16711391
How can we assassinate his wife if we think is absurd to mix our holy blood with those lizardlike things?

>>16711490
H. Your Choice. Kill the queen.
Now you gotta get three people to support that idea. I for one do not.

rolled 53 = 53

I say we conquer the humans with a massive blitzkried. And then we kill all of them, every single one. We settle near the river on their city, steal all tech we can find and show those dirty fleshbags the true power of magic.
Why? because we are the desert elves and we deserve nothing less than the world! Let's conquer!

also a d100 to support my words

Everyone who wants to overthrow the prince for a Pure Aryan Republic, Reply.
Enslave or kill all non Desert elves.

>>16711490
We're lawful neutral leaning towards good.
We don't kill our citizens

>>16711509 yeah!!!
WHY DO THEY GET A RIVER AND WE DONT!!!!!!

>>16711509
ARYAN MASTER RACE.

rolled 77 = 77

>>16711513
H. MY choice, support this!

>>16711490
ARYAN MASTER RACE.

should we start a new thread guys? this one is getting big

>>16711499
I was thinking about it, before reminding myself that we aren't actually the Telvanni. In any event, they shouldn't be able to produce offspring, so either the King adopts, dies childless, or produces a bastard. The first or third option would be preferable, but we can work with number 2. Just set up a ruling council.

Besides, lizard-people die pretty quickly, at least relative to elves. The queen'll stick around for a couple decades, maybe a century at the outside, and then we'll get back to business as usual.

rolled 67 = 67

>>16711521
>>16711509
>>16711521
I vote for this too, wich make 4 votes so far. Good enough, amirite?

>>16711513
The Nationalist Republic of LA supports the Mass killing of lizards.

>>16711509
We barely know the world beyond that settlement. for all we know, the village is just an outpost for a huge kingdom of people with Tech and magic far superior to ours.

It's much harder to be aggressive than neutral or passive. Especially if we expect to come out on top afterwards.

>>16711509
>>16711513
>>16711527
Stop being such tossers.

Seriously though, that would go against what the civ has been doing and stands for

>>16711537
We've reached the bump-limit, which indicates that a new thread might be in order at some point. /tg/'s slow-moving enough that we don't really need to worry all that much, though.

guys think we should start a new thread?

never mind any of that, what we need is a GIANT SAND THING in which we can just ride on and show off our magical swagger

B1.

Your people send forth an Envoy mounted upon a Sand Steed. Carrying Gifts of Glass & Silk, he proceeds of into their lands. Arriving at their Town by the river, he is met by their Mayor. After a good bit of debate, he returns back to your Citadel holding strange objects. The First being a Curved Wooden item with a string running through its ends along with short spears . (Bow & Arrow Obtained.) He has also brought back a few small birds. "They apparantly can be used to send messages from long distances." Your scout explains. (Messanger Pidgeons Obtained) "They are eager to find an ally, especially after an Orc declaration of war on them."

B.
Your People work fervently on their Citadel, expanding, through the use of magic, into the underground itself. A Small underground complex is Created & prepared with rations & Elementals.(Underground Complex Obtained) Your Citadel is also expanded to allow for more of the Population to reside inside

Agreed. These Aryan Elven Master Race trolls are the worst.

>>16711555
We shouldn't waste our effort on that just yet. An Envoy of golems will be impressive enough. If we find a castle though, THEN we break out the big guns.

>>16711552
yes

Fucking samefags ruining the theme :/

E & D1

>>16711396

So 260+60 yeilds 260 again?

Also, the orgy only gave slightly increased population?

D still need some tech to channel magic

A1 need all the friends we can get.

>>16711521

?


anywho
D1.
use wood from bow to produce trees in area around-with magic of course.

>>16711569
The eternal E.
D1, in keeping with our principle of neutrality.

I say we present human heads as a gift to the orcs. Humanity sucks and orcs are bro tier

let us reach the end of the magical tech tree before we move onto anything else

D1

we must stay neutral

>>16711596

Gestation of the babby takes time, bro.

>>16711621
You are a fool and a bastard. It is the duty of the quest master to choose when and how a thread should continue. I dearly hope you will die in the brightest and most painful of fires, clinging to the life leaving your body.

WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR ONE DWARF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>16711569
D1, but tell them that they are welcome to join our kingdom.
Also, let's do E. Try to make better elementals now that we have an academy.
I also stand by that decree I made earlier

>>16711641
OMG GESTALT BABIES

E. Practice Magic.
A1. Ally With the Humans. Have the humans clear out of their town leaving nothing but the buildings, unless they're tents or some shit like that in which case bring them along, and have them live in a little shanty town thing around our citadel and wait for the orcs to ransack an empty town. Then they can move back and we'll help them rebuild. Non-violence and confusing dumb orcs for the win.

D1. It's only a matter of time before those Orcs become a problem, but as it stands they're not at our doorsyet.

F/G: Let's try and establish a trade route with the Humans and see if they can supplement our maps with theirs. A settlement closer to the river might help our food stocks.

C: Might we be able to enchant the arrows?

E: Let's make our own version of those messenger birds or at the very least upgrade our Levitation into Flight

Alt. F: How far underground can we dig?
Alt. F: What's in the direction opposite the Humans?

do we know glass tornados yet?

>>16711569
E: Look into the possibility of using levitation for goods and personal transportation, preferably in a way that enables non-magic-users to operate them.
B: Improve public education, make basic magic a part of the curriculum.

A1: Orcs are going to hate us anyway.

New thread

>>16711569
Why are there so many farmers? I thought the point of the sand golems was to do all the labor

(Posted this in the wrong thread)


I see a large amount of gentlemen here choose E constantly and I don't think you're thinking through how our citizens lives might be affected by such an action. We are highly unproductive because we are par technologically and culturally to Paleolithic stone age humans. Imagine how they lived, which is pretty much how our citizens are living now. Our defenses also have numerous weak points. We only have automatons to protect us, what if something happens to them or they are somehow made obsolete? We have nothing to fallback on and we would be easy prey. We hardly have any tools behind simple stone clubs. Even our magical research is being hindered by our lack of technological progress. We can't get to floating towers if we can't stack two stones together. If devise more efficient ways to perform the actions that currently take up the largest amount of our time, which is the farming of food, we could then have more time to focus on magical research. To that effort we should expand our research into technology.

>>16712066

Dubs master.

>>16711888
Blasphemer! Magic is all!

>>16711569
B: Improve the citadel, with magic
E1: Offer to shelter human non-combatants (women, children, elderly) by taking them in as citizens, at least temporarily. Have them earn their keep through whatever teachings they can offer, in regards to farming and tech.

>>16712134
A solid plan. We might end up in a war with the orcs, but we've risked the same for the greater good before, when we sheltered our queen's people. By fortifying the citadel, we'll also be ready for any tricks they have if they find out.

>>16712134
There is a new thread, up >>16711708
