On the last episode of Insectophiliac Hive Rangers:

Tauzel, Protector of the Sands, spoke through your Queen and offered the Rozoolliim a place as his favored children, for them to act as his harbingers, and aid in his return to power in this world.
Presented with a choice and Tauzel's Heart (the last relic of his power and spirit) the Queen looked to her children for an answer.
They claimed that as their mother and provider, Rozooll was the one true God. With this in mind, she made her decision: to claim Tauzel's power for her own.
She devoured the relic and gained extraordinary power. She grew in strength, size, and is now able to access the Aether: the pool of magic that, by unknown machinations of the Gods, the Rozoolliim are barred from.
The Hive shifted worship from the Desert/Oasis to Rozooll as a result.
~
In the early days of the Rozoolliim, before the Queen gained a dying God's power, a diplomatic convoy was sent Westward. They never returned...until recently.
A single Worker limped back home, talking of creatures who attacked them on sight.
With her recently acquired powers, Rozooll divined that one of her children yet remains somewhere to the West, as a captive.
~
The Queen birthed a single, large egg. An unusual occurrence.
After study and inspection by the Curious Ones, they concluded that Princess must be within! The Queen has named her Mazooll.
~
Measures to make personal quarters for the future Princess have been taken. Tunnelers have been given this task.
~
Great advancements have been made in farming and cultivation, considered necessary for the Hive's ever-growing requirement for food.
~
A group of 5 Warriors and 1 Tunneler were dispatched to explore Eastcave, a large structure made of square stones, recently unearthed by Tauzel's sandstorm. They are a day past their expected return.
~
1 Scavenger failed to return after sundown. This has never happened before, but perhaps it is of no concern?
~

also, bump

Sorry for being late...unexpected dinner plans and such. Also, the document I had saved this introduction saved in crashed without saving, so I had to re-write it from memory. Which sucks.

>>25921159
I love you too.

>>25921459
Done.

>>25921514

A large number of Rozooll's children are starting to move a little slower, their shells more brittle, and their strength slightly lessened. The effects of old age must finally be showing.

I'll be glad to answer any questions or anything.
Anons have and will be helpful with this, too.

Things like Evolutions, research, and all that can get a little confusing, it seems. Not that that's bad. Shit can kinda be wonky.

workers > farm the fruit and the shrooms
nomads > what are those fuckers?
warriors > patrol, 2 groups of 5, search for potential atackers and the thing that killed our scavenger. the rest guard the nest

curious one > one builds gate, other analyze the cocoon of mazool, see if the new queen is magical.

tunnelers > 6 go make more farm land, other 6 build space for a refuse pile

>>25921619
Eat the old. Even in death, they still serve.

>>25921690
Nomads are a caste evolved with thicker shells, adept at repelling the desert heat. They are capable of farther travel, though they aren't very fast.
~
3 Tunnelers are currently busy making quarters for the future Princess. Though the rest can easily be split in those jobs.
~
Update coming soon:

>>25921700
we could use them to fertilize the crops, how about we have a mushroom grow a top of a dead body?

also

>queen>lay egggs

>>25921822
Either way, EVEN IN DEATH, THEY STILL SERVE.

>>25921619
Nomads > worship the Revered Mother
Curious ones > R&D ways to create paper and ink, or ways to write the thoughts down. If not writing, then a way for a "hivemind" kind of thing.
Scavengers gunna scavenge. Or cultivate if possible.
Workers > Work on reinforcing the door.
Queen > Lay eggs. If she can't, then work on magic
>>25921700
Seconding this.

>>25921876
Change my vote on the elderly to this >>25921822
After all, eating our own species could be detrimental to our health.

>>25921619

The Curious Ones have much work to do:
1 is to start preparations for construction of a main gate.
Another is given an odd task: To develop a form of documentation. The Rozoolliim have no language, having communicated with a weak form of extrasensory. This could take a while.
The third is to keep watch and study over Mazooll's egg. Progress can and will follower as it develops.
~
The subject of the elderly now being an issue, courses of action are being brooded on by the Queen. Some suggest eating the weak. Others suggest use as fertilizer. Further discussion will be needed.
~
The Queen resumes her task of breathing life into the colony.
She lays a clutch of 9 unfertilized eggs.
~
Workers start construction of the Gate. This will take a little while.
~
Cultivation and Scavenging return 5.6 units of food.
~
Tunnelers continue to expand the mushroom farm underground. 2 shiny ore chunks are found in the process.
~
The Scavenger is still missing.
~
The dispatch to Eastcave has yet to return.

Also, run test trials on both elderly solutions. Send a few elderly to the farms for fertilizer, and consume some of the most far gone. See what's the most viable solution.

this

>>25922154
This >>25922279 except don't send the troops.
We can't go off sending over 75% of our remaining
forces to explore while we have yet to receive
word of our missing.
Also this. >>25922220

I don't like that our people are missing. It may be that they have just taken a long time, but after hearing of the attack, it makes me nervous.

>>25922353

i guess you are right, but having the soldiers just sit around on their asses is stupid too

>>25922408

i say we say a scout party and organize patrols for protecting our scavengers

>>25922443
I am alright with this. It would be better if we had more population, but that will come with time. We need to start becoming a swarm.

>>25922520
im guessing that more princeses mean more egg clutchs, meaning, a bigger population cap (this guys die from old age, even at top speed, there will be a point when we will be only replacing our old)

how about, next turn, send out 4 scout teams of 3 warriors and 3 scavengers?

Rolled 42

>>25922520
Thirding.
We seem surrounded by enemies. To the west, our envoys were slaughtered. To the east, our explorers have yet to return. A scavenger has gone missing.

I may be paranoid, but watching our backs seems smart at this point.

>>25922154

Consensus needed on the dispatch of more Warriors.
~
The Curious Ones are currently tied up with their assigned duties. No new developments...yet.
~
Consensus on fertilization of the new egg clutch?
Current nominee are Workers: with 1 vote.
~
Tunnelers have finished Mazooll's quarters. There's...not much to it.
5 shiny ore chunks were found!
~
The Mushroom Farm is being expanded on.
~
The sky darkens above...a distant rumble can be heard...
The Rozoolliim are scared.
~
Nomads resume worship of the glorious God-Queen Rozooll.
The Queen reports happiness at this.

Consensus needed on the stated objects before turn completion.

>>25922652
I think we should keep the hive secured at all cost. If we start sending troops to die for troops that might already be dead, we are fucking ourselves in the ass. Our Mother is our main priority. If we leave the hive unguarded, might as well kill ourselves.

>>25922691
Warriors remain on guard. Take a curious one off of the language project and put him on helping with the reinforcement of the gate along with workers. We need to make sure we don't drowned down there. The scavengers and what is left of the workers can cultivate. If scavengers leave the hive, they could die in the upcoming (possible) storm. Also, have a worker to fertilize the egg, then continue working on the gate.

>>25922691
>a distant rumble can be heard

brace yourselves, storms are coming.

>>25922697
man, nomads are tick carapaced and we have plenty of warriors, a few to patrol around our known territory could be beneficial

>>25922784
this

>>25922691
>The sky darkens above...a distant rumble can be heard...
>The Rozoolliim are scared.


FEAR IS THE ENEMY OF PROGRESS! Face this new threat head on! Investigate the nature of these developments.

>>25922691

A Curious one and several Workers continue construction of the Gate.
Now is the time to decide if the shiny bars (metal) should be used. This would take many bars, but would strengthen the fortifications considerably.
~
A Worker above reports that there are figures moving closer in the distance, coming from the East!

>>25922839
I don't suppose the worker could see about how many there were?

>>25922839
use them, we can always get more.

>>25922825
fuck you

>>25922861
This

>>25922839
send out a Nomad to meet with them. Bring some food, that they know we come in peace.

>>25922839
Definitely use them.

>>25922839

Use of the shiny bars is granted. The Curious One confidently reports that construction should be done in 2 turns.

>>25922861
>>25922878

The desert heat makes long distance vision tricky. Whatever they are, there aren't many.

>>25922927
Send a nomad like >>25922896
said with 5 warriors.

Full update coming momentarily.

Consensus still needed on the subject of
Warrior dispatches
and
Patrols
and
Workers fertilizing the latest clutch.

>>25922839
The figures could be the eastcave party returning, or whatever they woke up.
Ready the warriors in case shit gets ugly...

Also, is the rumbling coming from these figures, or from the sky itself?

I'm less afraid of a thunderstorm than an army so vast we heard its marching before we saw its soldiers.

>>25922996

The sky, definitely.

>>25922996
He said they aren't many>>25922927
With that in mind, I think we should go with >>25922946
This while also having the warriors ready incase shit does get ugly. Would having a worker fertilizing the latest clutch mess with the progress on the gate?

>>25922980
our warriors stay at home, 5 of them go with the nomad to receive the storm

patrols are a matter for future turns, so we can protect our scavengers

and yes, workers fertilize our eggs

>>25923049

Naw.

Next stop, Update Town.

>>25923091
going with this >>25923087

>>25922927

Workers fertilize the eggs. The working class finally gets to score.
~
The Gate nears completion!
~
Harvest returns 7 units of food.
~
A team of 5 Warriors and a Nomad are sent to receive whatever figures are approaching from the East. They return shortly after with...
the Eastcave dispatch! Unfortunately, they are short 3 Warriors...
They have much to tell of Eastcave...it's huge. As big as the Hive. Maybe even bigger. But it's dangerous...there are many things in there that kill. Living things. Sticks with sharp edges. Fire spit from the walls. But there are also beautiful things inside. Big stones, shaped like big faces. Even many that look like the Queen!
They relay that a big chamber was found, with a strange object inside, but an enormous creature lives within. The dispatch, fearing for their lives, escaped.

>>25923412
Sticks with sharp edges?

I wonder if we could develop such tools. If we take the same principle as a hoe, and perhaps extend the blade...

>>25923412
The next few batches of eggs should be theirs to fertilize.
The tunnelers should improve the hive, possibly dig deeper to give more space for upcoming generations.
Send a couple of nomads south to see if there are any friendly civilizations.
If the Queen can lay eggs, have her lay eggs. Until the princess is mature.
Continue cultivating like before.

>>25923412
queen> lay eggs
workers > farm them fruits, farm them shrooms
nomads > worship
warriors and scavengers > make 4 teams of 4 scavengers and two warriors, and one team of 5 scavengers and 3 warriors, and go scavenge, if possible, take down any big animal using the warriors so we get some extra food

curious ones > continue researching in specificied projects

tunnelers> expand farm land, make refuse pile for dead bodies of old insects

>>25923537
The the thundering shitstorm coming our way, I don't think it's wise to send out warriors and scavengers. I figured since all the nomads are doing so far is worshiping, a couple could be used for their real purpose.

>>25923503
But we would need more shiny bars.
We should have the curious ones figure out how to smelt our ore. Then, we can make as many sharp sticks as we need.

Or steal the "sharp" part and apply it to, say, metal claws that fit onto our obligatory ant-mandibles. Assuming those are obligatory.

>>25923583
they should be back by sundown, not really sending them far

also, nomads are slow, and if scavengers cant cover much terrain, we will end up with even less food

>>25923631
Well, theres nothing stopping us from drafting a design.

>>25923636
The nomads are looking for civilization. They are more resistant to the desert weather. I don't expect them to make it back, but if we don't try, we won't know.
>>25923631
This seems like a good idea. The gate should be done next turn, so the curious ones should work on it then.

>>25923683
Are curious ones even needed for the gate anymore? If not, have them work on the weapons.

>>25923683
but leaving the scavengers alone got one missing, i dont want to afford more losses. and anyways... the scavenging parties are coming back soon. the nomads could explore.

>>25923683
the same curious one that made the door could have ideas about how to improve it now, maybe we just need to give him metal that he himself could smelt.

>>25923752
ongoing researchs are:
one guy is studying the cocoon of marzool (the princess) with this we could get a stronger princess

the other guy is trying to make a written language

and there is one guy fooling around with the door.

... i do preffer to use the metal for traps, so we could have the curious one at the door investigate how to make them.

>>25923833
Yeah we should figure out a way to smelt the ore. But we shouldn't send soldiers out to help scavengers because there are enemies and they already took out three of our soldiers.

>>25923958
>Don't defend our scavengers, our soliders will get killed by the monsters

What?

>>25923958
man... >>25924005

the soldiers are there to protect the scavengers, if they can bring something bigger, sweet bonus, but their mission is to protect them scavengers, then come back. and we have plenty of soldiers and nomads to take care of defense of the nest

>>25924005
Our scavengers haven't been touched. Only one has went missing. We know we have enemies, and those enemies have already fucked us enough. We have a limited amount of soldiers and so far, two seemingly powerful enemies.

>>25924070
i could give you that, but if any other scavenger gets lost and i want fucking patrols

>>25924048
Nomads don't defend shit, don't pull that. If you want to have soldiers defend scavengers, alright. But we should have at least ten stay home to guard the Queen.

>>25924105
>>25924108
How about a compromise. The ten stay back and the rest are fair game to use. Fair?

>>25924070
Uh, yeah. Because we haven't been sending our scavengers into dangerous areas. If they have an escort, they can take more risks, and thus, more reward.

>>25924143
seems fair to me, also... where is op?

>>25923412

The Gate is completed!
A fusion of metal and stone, with some branches for reinforcement, it's a formidable obstacle for any would-be intruders.
~
The Curious One is given a new task: try and replicate the things described in Eastcave. Work on this will commence.
~
The Worker-fertilized clutch hatches into larva. D'awwww...
~
No longer feeling safe sending Scavengers on their own, several teams of Scavengers and Warriors are sent out. It's considerably slower with the Warriors tagging along, but it's definitely safer. All teams report back at sundown.
~
Cultivation and Scavenging return 7 Units of food, in addition to a crate found in the wastes! Inside are assortments of...some kind of strange food? Additional 5 Units acquired.
~
The Queen births a fresh clutch of 12 unfertilized eggs.
The Hive is starting to get a little crowded...
~
The Nomads continue to worship Rozooll.
~
The Curious One looking after Mazooll notes a discovery! While looking after the egg, it showed great signs of activity within. Maybe it's developing?

Warriors worship the Queen.

Suggestion for old people: shift to primarily worship the queen over other duties. When dead, use as fertilizer.

>>25924200

Sorry. Just had to take care of some stuff in real life while keeping an eye on the thread. I'll be more present now.

>>25924222
Research smelting, number one priority.

>>25924266
Seconded.
Also, seconding the "elderly worship" plan.

>>25924222
Have a couple of nomads scout south
workers cultivate
tunnelers start working on hive improvement. Gives us a little wiggle room
The rest of the nomads worship
Curious ones; 1 working on smelting, 1 working on how to make weapons, 1 working on those new foods. What else can we do with them and how to grow more of them?

General Thought:

I hate to keep making changes, but I might put actions per turn back down to 1-2. That way actions are a little more streamlined and maybe I could update more often.
Thoughts?

>>25924331
Oh, and keep having the queen pump out eggs. Have a scavenger fertilize the egg.

>>25924222
Lets build a new Hive. Towards the threat, preferably. A keep against the unknown enemy, a buffer, if you will

>>25924347
I second the scavenger fertilization

>>25924341
I can see the point from a game management point of view, but it seems weird if say the tunellers spend the turn doing nothing because our tasts are curious one and worker tasks.

>>25924341
if it betters the flow of the story, so be it

ohvedoe taxes

also
warriors and scavengers > hunt and forage

workers > farm

tunnelers > give us space for living

>>25924341
That's fine, as long as cultivation/scavenging happens automatically if those individuals aren't assigned a different task.

>>25924341
If we do that, can we make the egg laying a constant process?

Hey, would it be possible to evolve natural defenses?

>>25924405
>>25924413
It seems like there are things that are basically cluttering the list. Maybe cultivation/scavenging/egglaying can happen automatically unless the queen is studying magic or workers are doing other things.

>>25924390
Agreed. Though sometimes, that's just the way it is. I'll keep the same method

>>25924405
Sounds reasonable.

One thing that helps is if you put letters with your posts. It helps me categorize more efficiently.

Y'know, like
A) Scavenge. Send Scavengers and Warriors out in groups.
or
H) Have the Queen Lay eggs.

It just helps is all I's sayin'.

>>25924413
>>25924442
Seems reasonable.

I appreciate all the feedback.

>>25924341

given that case... could not we make a "per caste" work? or something like patrols? sort of like a RTS game controlling a big number of units?

>More tunnelers
>Tunnelers split work between more farm space and living quarters

Also, how the fuck have you guys not archived any of your threads.

Sup/tg/ exists for a reason. Put in three fucking tags and a brief description, even saying 'We did some shit' is completely fine.

Development!
The Curious One in charge of weapon development reports that in combination with Flamestones, shiny ore chunks can be purified and molded to desirable shapes!
Weapons Development yet continues...
~
Harvest/Scavenging returns with 6.4 Units of food. With the accompaniment of Warriors, the patrols come home at sundown. The mushroom farm is at maximum maintainable size.

Mazooll's egg is active still. The Princess within squirms, stretching the membranous exterior.

The missing Scavenger was found today. It's dead body out in the desert. Deep gashes litter its body. Whatever got to it cut it...a lot. There are no tracks nearby.

Scavenge for more firestones. They will be the catalyst for further advancement.

>>25924943

Typo: forgot to add the new food total. It's now at 20.6 Units. My bad.

>>25924999

>>25925019

It was a power trip. I briefly forgot of our loss.
Thanks for pointing it out.

We should spend those evolution points.
The "you are what you eat" plan has promise, and committing those points to something is better than just abandoning them.

>>25924943
A) Scavenge for firestones.
C) Send 3 nomads south to seek other civilization.
D) Examine Scavenger's body carefully. Do the cuts look rough or clean?
F) Tunnelers make more room

Don't forget to conduct further research into smelting.

>>25925041
This. You are what you eat was a good idea. We should be a bit more specific on it, though. What are your thoughts on that evolution, OP?

4. Nomads go into desert looking for anything interesting, reporting back upon seeing ANYTHING of interest without checking it out.
5. Scavengers scavenge, specifically looking for renewable food sources

>>25925067
More specific...

I was thinking about feeding stuff to Rozooll, like we did that giant worm, and getting a wierd mutation out of it.

Though the "eat a sword - grow a sword-hand" idea is cool too, and we DO have 2 points to spend...

>>25925147
No--let's become Rust Monsters.

>>25924943
A) Shift scavenger focus to look for firestones and other useful stuff rather than food. The farm's got that covered for now.
C) Nomads explore immediate aboveground surroundings
F) Tunellers have at it.

>>25925177
And continue smelting research.

In fact, OP, I think we can agree to just continue that until we've got it.

>>25925147
Well, that would be cool. I think the "eat sword, be sword" would be a bit over-powered. I really think we should have a caste with wings. Shit would be so cash.
>>25925161
Surely you jest.

>>25925199
Think of the possibilities! We march out, disintigrate the enemies weapons and armor, then lay into them with out own!

>>25924943

Tunnelers continue to expand the Den.
In doing so, they find 3 shiny ore chunks, and 2 Flamestones.
~
The Queen lays a clutch of 11 unfertilized eggs.
~
The old clutch of eggs hatch into larva.
~
A Curious One inspects the dead Scavenger's body. The cuts are rough, but whether that's a testament to the method of attack or the days spent in the harsh desert are mystery.
~
The Nomads are sent to explore. They return a bit past sundown. All are uneventful, save one:
He reports seeing a small convoy of creatures, traveling from the West. They are heading straight for the Oasis! He thinks they saw him, but made no attempt to harm him. They should be here in 1-2 days.
~

>Cont.

>>25925220
But we couldn't use technology. You know, that thing we are exceptionally good at? Yeah, no. Sorry, but it would hurt us just as much as the enemy. A lot of enemies will have magic, so we need technology to make up for it.

>>25925252
But if we make it a controlled rust, then we gain an even greater technological advantage.

First we deploy the Rust caste, and destroy their technology, then we pull them back and deploy our regular forces with all of our tech.

>>25925281
Hm... I see what you're getting at. I like that.

7 Units of food are harvested.
~
>>25925067
Totally acceptable.
As long as you detail what you guys want, I'm always willing to try and make your guys' ideas a reality.

>>25925147
While sort of an existing function, evolutions could be made to improve this process. More extreme mutations...more aspects of consumed creatures, etc. That sort of thing.

and spy caste of sabottaging bitches

i like your idea

>>25925329
A) w/ Patrols
B) Have the nomads worship Our Mother.
D) Continue smelting research. Maybe differentiate the properties of each ore? Always have one on the princess. Hoping she'll hatch and mature soon.
G) Lay them eggs
G) Have the Warriors spar to train.

>>25925329
we need more curious ones, we are researching too slow.

have a worker fertilize those eggs, our big as fuck farm could benefit from that

queen lays eggs.

how about we use our evo like this?

one point into a mayor evolution for the queen, so she gets the power to absorb the abilities of things she eats, and transmit them to a caste, by example, we feed her a lot of birds to her, she births a new flying caste.

the other points goes into something similar for the princesses, so every princess has their own unique castes to her service

>>25925353
And in addition, we could use them to make invasion nearly impossible. Every time they enter into the desert, their technology starts to fall apart. Clearly the place is cursed!

>>25925439
Confirming worker fertilization
>>25925450
Fucking genius.

Evolve our Soldiers to have a sort of canister shot.

>Collect dirt or sand or rocks or whatever
>Compress
>Spit towards enemy
>Devastation

>>25925483
Only rocks would do any sort of damage. However, we could have soldiers get a type of fluid projection that increases corrosion like what the previous anons where talking about.

>>25925329
Evo point @ improving 'are what you eat' function.
Prepare a diplomatic party to greet the newcomers and offer barter.
put into long term plans to find DNA of this fucker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyptapanteles

f) tunellers

>>25925281
I imagine that would be pretty simple to figure out starting from the acid-spitting mentioned in the original evolution list.

>>25925439
So can we all agree to using one of the Evo points to enhance our "you are what you eat" (or, what your mother ate) ability to have more extreme mutations, like wings and shit?

Sounds like that's the current consensus.

>>25925539
second

>>25925539
Confirmed
>>25925534
This should be planned for the future. Also, prepare for a diplomatic party to greet newcomers.

>>25925535
Exactly. We could make a special class of soldiers who specialize in stealth and subterfuge with the rust power.

They infiltrate the enemy, and sabotage (after stealing new and novel designs) all of their tech before the invasion.

>>25925539
yop

>>25925523
Not really. Have you seen sand cannons and actual canister shot? If we can just get our soldiers to have a good enough compression and expelling force sand will do just fine. It'll certainly incapacitate fleshy stuff from a decent distance, blinding anything with eyes, and absolutely DEVASTATING the enemy at short range. Think of it like a shotgun.

>>25925624
Is this mechanic or organic?

>>25925580
since we are goona get the evo for getting castes by eating things... we should decide a caste for inmediate use, the rust spy is cool, but its not an inmediate need.

if i remember well... someone wanted a specialized worshipper

>>25925534

Sweet n' salty Jesus!

And I thought cordyceps was awesome...

>>25925645
We will have to wait a little while. Remember that evolutions also take time and energy on the Queen's part. She could die from too many in too little of time.

>>25925645
Does worshipping even -do- anything? Why waste a caste on something with no discernible effect?

Anyway, we should probably, instead of making a new caste, improve the ones we currently have. Like trying to make those damn Curious Ones more common, or fertile.

>>25925710
That's a good idea. But just to make sure, does everybody want the "you are what you eat" evolution?

>>25925710
Worshiping has been shown to have...some...effects. But then again, a lot of time and energy hasn't been devoted to it. So we'll have to see, huh?

Updating: Won't Take 15 Minutes Edition

>>25925731
I think it's dangerous. It'll hurt chances of diplomacy if we're horrible monsters covered in blades and acid sacs.

>>25925644
We can make it organic. A spit gland with power in mind instead of creating acid which would require specialized materials and time to replenish would work fantastically.

>Almost instantly reloading shotgun with infinite ammo that can blind, incapacitate or even kill our enemies outright

Imagine ten of our soldiers just BLASTING the shit out of an enemy formation. Any sort of shield wall they set up just gets fucking wrecked, we charge in, refill our canisters during the charge, and blast them again when we get there. They're fucking destroyed.

>>25925758
>implying we want diplomacy
>implying we arent the scorge of the desert, the god devourers

>>25925758
I don't think it will be that excessive. I think we will just use it to eat the opposing hive for whatever evolution they might have, or something along those lines.

>>25925767
For some reason, I can't help but think this sounds better than it would actually work.

>>25925758
We're already horrifying monsters. Last time people saw us, they killed all but 1, whom they now keep captive.

Diplomacy is going to have to be based more around giving them stuff to show that we're not mindless than looking cute. The cruel fate of the Rozoolliim.

>>25925853
When the fuck was that? I remember the last time we encountered travelers they turned out to be our expeditionary squad.

>>25925884
No, it happened either last thread or two threads ago.

>>25925884
in the first part the anons sended a diplomacy party to the north. resulting in the horrifying death of the party.

>>25925767
Let's test this out.

>1000 man human army shows up at our home
>Breaks into our hill
>At every corridor, we have soldier ants
>Any humans even peeking out get immediately blasted with sand and injured or blinded (After all, ants can wait fucking forever)
>Three ant rotation ensures that the few seconds it takes to reload are covered
>Any charges down the corridor are punished harshly with sand blasts, injuring their charging soldiers and forcing their comrades to charge over them, slowing their advance
>We back away as they advance, refilling our canisters
>Another volley of sand, the enemy advance slows to a crawl as half of the tunnel is filled with enemy dead dying wounded and knocked down
>We can crawl backwards and refill our canisters faster than they can crawl through the tunnel towards us
>Continuous sand shotgun blasts
>Tunnel is absolutely chock full of enemy dead
>Tunnelers and workers clear the tunnel after the enemy retreats with whatever forces they have left
>Reset trap

>>25925884
Early on, when we explored west. Only one survivor from that expedition made it back, but he died of his wounds after revealing that the expedition had been slaughtered.

First thread, I think.

>>25925329

Smelting is perfected! At least for now.
1 Flamestone is sufficient to make 5 shiny ore chunks ---> 5 shiny bars.
Weapons Development has made major progress with this discovery. The Curious One notes that a breakthrough should be made soon...

The Queen announces she's ready to undertake another Evolution process. Egg production will be halted and Magical Study isn't possible once started, due to the strain on the Queen.

Until then, the queen births 9 unfertilized eggs.

>Several tunnels are collapsed, they invade completely
>Any human even peeking out gets immediately blasted with sand and injured or blinded

This is why we need really high Tech and nice Evolutions. We will get fucked in the ass by mages if we don't use what we're good at. Even though our Revered Mother could always swish up a sandstorm for a final "Fuck you".

Dude, you realize that technology is our secondary racial advantage, behind only breeding, right?

We are a technological race. Mutations are an extra little boost, not the main attraction.

>>25926058
>Insects
>Tech race

Our tech boost is from mutation and evolution, potatohead.

>>25926021
A) Mushroom Cultivation.
B) Nomads worship.
D) 3 Curious Ones try to understand the properties of shiny bars and shiny ore chunks.
G) Tunnelers worth with Warriors. Those sharp claws can do more than just tunneling.
G) Have some nomads bring out that strange food we found. Maybe our visitors will like it.

>>25926033
seconding.

also

g) evolve > 1 major change > our queen wins the ability to absorb DNA from eating creatures (or our own) and use it to oversee the evolution of new castes, or improvements to our caste

>>25926021
Whatever we spend the evo points on, it should be something that enhances our evolution and/or something that enhances tech. Maybe Evo points on making curious ones stop being sterile?

>>25926069
That's not technology. Otherwise /g/ and /sci/ would the same board.

F Get the hive ready in case these visitors are hostile.

>>25926121
we are insects goddamn, the tech is about evolving into living machinery

>>25926170
Where are you even getting this from?

Evolution is a secondary bonus. Breeding and tech are our primary attributes.

>>25926170
We don't exactly get evolution points very often. Depending entirely on that for bonuses when almost every other race can use magic and technology is very dicksuck.

>>25926198
(Mfw that wasn't even me)

>>25926210
Whenever we consume sentient life or enemy technology we can evolve to get those attributes or change them around somewhat to suit ourselves.

>>25926228
That's not the same as having technology. That's biology. Don't confuse your -ology's.

>>25926021
The odd guys showing up, we want to try to set up diplomatic relations. If that fails, kill them and eat them, see if we get a new caste out of it.

>>25926081
This, pretty much.
We're mid-evolution as it is, though.

>>25926265
biological technology man, it suits us better, also since we breed super fast we will always have top notch tech deployed. and our machines evolve and change as we need

>>25926330
But are we breeding super fast? I'm a bit new to civ threads, so I don't know how fast average is for breeding, but it's suppose to be our specialty.

>>25926363
Well, our specialized and mostly randomized castes keep our Effective population low, but as far as reliable growth, it's decently large.

>>25926381
Well, that's a bit reassuring.

>>25926330
I get it, but biotech isn't really technology in the traditional sense--at least, not for a few thousand years of development.

Just because we're bugs doesn't mean we can't use armor and weapons.

>>25926363
well at this stage, other races only have a few women pregnant. we alredy birthed a few generations

>>25926410

i was going to say that, good to see we reached consensus.

so evo for evolving by eating, and evo into a fertile curious one?

It's raining outside. A truly rare, if not odd, occurrence.

They're here. The Strangers stand at the mouth of the Hive, looking up at the Gate. They're making noise...perhaps, this is their language? It's impossible to understand them, though. Maybe they're hailing for a reception?

What to do?

A) Receive them.
B) Remain quiet. The presence of the Gate is an obvious sign of life here, but they don't have to know that.
C) Kill them, Rozoolliim. Kill them all. They ARE from the West, afterall.
D) Write it in.

seconded. Eat any casualties.

>>25926429

>>25926443
take one inside with us, have queen talk to him using godly power

>>25926490
Of course, put some curious ones next to their cells who study their "language" to make this work

>>25926511
This. Have warriors on them at all times.

>>25926443
A. Recieve them.

We should try to figure out if they know where the captive Rozoolliim is, though that may be difficult.

As for killing them, well, part of being strong is being smart, we don't need to test them quite yet.

There is a time and a place for everything, though.

>>25926542
yeh trade with them aswell

>>25926542

A. Attempt to be diplomatic, but have the warriors prepared to ambush them if things go ugly.

>>25926542
I like this. When they come inside, they will see the power of the Rozoolliim

>>25926443
C. Eat them and assimilate them like the worms. They done stumbled into the wrong oasis

>>25926573

This

Seems like A) is the dominant choice. Any other takers?

I think the A's have it.

>>25926576

But, are we giving away too much strategic information by receiving them inside? Meet them outside, they don't need to know the layout of our hive.

>>25926603

This is very true. Maybe meet them by the gate? Have the warriors inside ready to zerg rush out if things go bad.

>>25926603

This. They could really troll us if they know our exact strength, etc.

>>25926603
If we feel that we can't allow them to leave, we just won't allow them to leave. We have 25 warriors and 14 tunnelers that could kill them any second.

>>25926601
A)
then
D) for capture and hold
if A) fails.

>>25926634

We can never trust them though. They could be all diplomatic to our face, then come back with an army and rape us. If one thing is for sure in any world, its that you can NEVER trust humans. If their diplomats are anything near worth their salt, they won't make their full motives clear on the first meeting.

For all we know, our parts are valuable spell components.

>>25926670
Then we don't allow them to leave. Let them feel comfortable, let them feel secure. The second they see our queen, we kill four of them and capture the rest.

>>25926443

The Gate opens for your 'guests'. A squad of Warriors meets them. They make more noise, but it's useless. Knowing they can't be understood, they are ushered inside by the Rozoolliim, knowing that if escape was an option before, it surely isn't now.
Following the squad through the tunnels, some look frightened, but one, has determination on his face. With certainty in his stride, he leads the other creatures into the hatchery...

>Cont.

>>25926691

Then we run the risk of making enemies of them. What do we have to lose from meeting them by the gate?

>>25926715
Scaring them and making enemies of them? Is this a serious question? It's a bit late now.

>>25926708

> but one, has determination on his face. With certainty in his stride, he leads the other creatures into the hatchery..

Inb4 paladin who thinks we're evil

>>25926732
lol'd

>>25926732
agreed.

>>25926708
See if queen can communicate with them, otherwise keep them somewhere and have the Curious Ones study their language.

>>25926708

The look of certainty falters, if only for a second, at the sight of the Great Queen looming before him. Rozooll sees this, much to her satisfaction, but he quickly masks it, if only for the sake of his followers, with grim determination taking over once more.
He takes a step forward, Warriors tensing and blocking his path to the Queen.
He tries once more to communicate, but to no avail. He makes a few gestures and Rozooll understands: He wishes to try and communicate mentally.
Concentrating, Rozooll's eyes turn a brighter shade of orange and the creatures gasp, one even shuddering.

Rozooll can hear the thing in her thoughts now.
Now that a connection is established, there are a few ways to handle this:

A) Speak with the creature.
B) Destroy him. His mind is like clay to you now.
C) Write-In

>>25926888
C)Make them your mind slaves

>>25926888
Can we mind control him?
If so, pacify him, implant a few fertilized eggs in him and his men and send him on his merry way to wherever he came from.
Once the larvae hatch, we'll try to keep a mental link with them and spy/take over whatever operation they have.

>>25926888

A. We have nothing to gain from killing them at this point. See how things progress.

>>25926888
A > why are you here, what do you want, were you come from

if we discover any hostility against us in her mind, we B > make him cut off his balls

>>25926888
C) Figure out his intentions and then decide from there. If hostile, eat them, but if they are friendly, speak to them.

>>25926888
A. Lets communicate a little, see what they've got going on. I still want to eat them tho.

>>25926923
We don't have that evolution brah

>>25926950
What, we can't make him fit a fertilized egg down his throat?

Or not even that, we can just make him carry a few with him or something.

>>25926981
We risk the larva once it hatches. They will probably kill it if we let them go with it.

>>25927007
yeah, we should rather put a larva down his throat. And keep him here, see what happens. Then, if its successful, do it with another one and send them back

>>25927018
It seems like everyone favours option A

>>25927018
Good idea
let's just keep them and experiment

>>25926888
A)

>>25927036
I am a different guy to the one who proposed it at first, so at least 2 guys arent included in everyone

>>25927056

Smells like samefagging.

>>25927056

>>25927101
dude, thats really not necessary. Nobody cares.

>>25926888

Rozooll speaks first, projecting her voice into his mind.
"Who are you? Why do enter my home, so sure of yourself after killing my children?"

The creature, shocked, replies:
"I assure you, my Queen, I have done no such thing. Though I do know who did. I would be lying if I said that it wasn't my people, but my followers and I are innocent. We have traveled through the desert for many days looking for you and after finding one of your children, we know we were close. Every acolyte within 50 leagues felt the death of Tauzel and feared whatever creature was responsible. But my acolytes and I...we knew there was TRUE power in that act. We have come to serve you, however we can."

Is he lying? There seemed to be SOME truth to his words, but these are strange creatures. And of the same kind that have killed your children in the past. Can he be trusted?

>A) Accept his fealty. His kind could prove useful in future endeavors. Who knows what knowledge they could provide?
>B) Destroy him. His kind struck first and they could all be liars. If they were to make a violent move, you would still have time to catch them by surprise.
>C) Write-In.

>tabs

>>25927121
Well you won't let me stuff a larva down a grown man. That makes me sad.
But okay, I'll play along. Maybe there will be time for that later.

>>25927125
Demand a sacrifice! That will show their devotion or lack thereof! SACRIFICE!!!

>>25927140
no dude, I meant nobody cares about somebody accusing somebody else of samefagging. I am strongly in favor of stuffing larva in people

>>25927125
Make him cut off a hand.
Which we will eat.
So we can evolve hands.
Imagine ants with hands.
That's fucking scary.

>>25927125
C .- eat him, get castes

tell him its our way of telling him he is one of our own

>>25927175
Well...we kinda already have hands. In a way. They're just more claw-like. And with fewer digits.

>>25927175
Lets just eat one of the guys. He shell offer him/her to us.

>>25927125
AC) Accept his loyalty but with conditions. They must prove thier loyalty before they will be fully trusted

>>25927201
This. Not only must they prove it, but they must offer a sacrifice.

>>25927209
second

A seems to be the dominant choice, with the caveat of proven loyalty.
Consensus on the conditions of proven loyalty?

>>25927209
word it as offering one of their number to become one with the divinity before his time

>>25927218
he right there >>25927221 got the right idea

>>25927221

Yeah this.

>>25927209
So, this but worded a little like this >>25927221

>>25927125

>Kill insects while serving your desert god
>Insect's mama becomes your desert god

You dun goofed acolytes, and consequences will never be the same.

Make them bring us those who killed our kind. We president now.

>>25927125
B. He can serve us by feeding our Queen and furthering our species. Empty his head of information first of course.

>>25927265
That would be a great test of loyalty.

>>25927272

Such a bad idea. We're literally being offered free auxiliaries here, possibly great in number. And you want to just troll them.

>>25927265

This. Rozooll demands retribution.

>>25927276
it lies quite a bit in the future, doesnt it?

>>25927265
>>25927276
but if he ISNT loyal, we send him back to his kind and he tells them about what he has seen in the hive

>>25927265
He said that his men and him DIDN'T kill the Rozoolliim. Only that the people were he comes from are responsible. But, of course, he could be lying.

>>25927306
Our Queen read his mind. She knows if he is lying or not.

>>25927306

So keep some of his party hostage.

>>25927307

Well then have them bring us those who did, his men or not.

>>25927307
>His mind is like clay to you now.
Then extract the truth.

>>25927311
>Is he lying? There seemed to be SOME truth to his words, but these are strange creatures. And of the same kind that have killed your children in the past. Can he be trusted?

she doesnt

>>25927330

Then we need to make it perfectly clear to him that our retribution will be swift if we are betrayed. He was scared when he saw her, lie to him about our numbers etc. Grossly exaggerate it in a way he can't confirm or deny. If he thinks we have a legion of hundreds rather than dozens, he'll think twice.

I don't think you guys respect what I'm trying to do here...

>>25927361
>Tell him this "[insert navy seal copypasta]"

>>25927361
Thats such a good insurence.

>>25927361
Or we could KNOW what his plans are by reading his fucking mind.

>>25927407
we cant. its foreign to us. Its clay in our hands in the sense of we can just smush it.

>>25927407

Except we can't do that

>>25927380
Imagine the high-five possibilities...

>>25927361

This.

>>25927436
I'm starting to see it...

But in all seriousness, this >>25927361

>>25927456
we are going to be betrayed so badly

>>25927361
>>25927395
>>25927439
>>25927456

Also leave him under no illusions about the divinity of our Great Queen Rozooll. She is his god now.

>>25927481
He probably thinks she is god because he wanted her to read his mind.

>>25927125

Rozooll speaks to him once more:
"Your service may be accepted...but your faith must be proven. Your people have slaughtered mine without cause or mercy and yet one of my children yet remains with you-"

The man's face changes to one of horror.
"...my Queen, I had no knowledge of this. But if your child still remains in my home, I know where it would be kept. Allow me to prove my loyalty by returning home and returning him to you. Then we may deliver retribution to the snakes who have so cruelly culled your children."

>A) Accept the terms of his loyalty. He seems earnest to prove it. But out of desperation or devotion, that's unsure. (includes options detailed in >>25927361 >>25927481 )
>B) Refuse. His loyalty should be proven on YOUR conditions.
>C) Write-In

>>25927503
A

>>25927503
B.) still want a sacrifice

>>25927503

A, but do as the anon described and put the fear of god into his heart. But also make it clear that if he is telling the truth and is sincere in his motives, he will be rewarded.

>Carrot and stick people, carrot and stick.

>>25927503
Do A but with a sacrifice as well.

>>25927541
stick, stick, and knife?

>>25927543

How about a tribute of goods instead of a sacrifice of a human? Way more useful to us.

>>25927554

And far more reasonable. Seconded.

>>25927554
How is that more useful?

>>25927541
>>25927554

Combination of these please OP.

>>25927568

We can use food and metal and technology, what use is one dead human? We lose a worshipper, and make the rest of them unsure about worshipping us by demanding human sacrifice.

>>25927554
but desert god!

>>25927595

We can be benevolent to our worshippers, and use them to bring destruction to our enemies. Makes more sense for them to sacrifice non-believers to Rozooll than to offer up their own. Keep them scared, but also in awe, rather than resenting us.

>>25927591
The sacrifice is for the Queen to eat. She gains evolution, just like the worm and the heart. We don't know when we will get another Evolution point. This could get us more. We will always find food and metal and technology.

>>25927503

A. Tell him to bring us the heads of their captors, and a suitable tribute of goods, a big one as compensation as well as tribute.

>>25927591
Its a spiritual thing, you wouldnt get it.

>>25927622
No, bring the captors alive or dead, not just heads. Why the fuck heads? Have her eat them alive.

>>25927629

Actually yeah. This.

>>25927627

Have him sacrifice the guilty to Rozooll, not willing supplicants. We want to be worthy of worship by not being TOTAL asshats.
