6 months ago, your settlement was attacked and burned to the ground by a Gnoll raiding party. Those of you who escaped managed to pick what they could from the remains and set off to find new homes.
Eventually, after weeks of travelling and fending off attacks from ambitious creatures, you decide to settle in a Northward patch of grassland. The terrain is flat; allowing you to see the mountains stretching from the North to the West in the far distance and the river a few leagues before them. To the South lay wooded areas, and to the East a small fork of river points into the plains.
You have spent the past few months creating a small village. The winter was harsh, claiming many lives and preventing much exploration of the area. However, now spring has come, your food supplies are running low and you have finally finished constructing the small wooden hall at the centre of your village, in which the elders convene.
It is they who say that you must go forth and prosper. Bring this community into something great, and eventually destroy those who try to stop you.

A large portion of your population head out into the plains near the village and begin to clear the land of obstructions and start to sculpt it to accommodate a stable farm environment. Whilst raking through the dirt, your people start finding small seeds that they soon plant. A small hut is built just away from the plot to house the man tasked with tending the crop, as well as his family. [Name him: Farmer (?)]

The farmer soon notices that the plot is quite dry. The rain is enough to keep the plot alive and to grow, but it will be a slow process. If only there was a way to keep the ground moist.

A scouting party of 50 men heads to the South. Armed with spears, they tread carefully; more than aware of the savagery of some beings in the wilderness. The group gets no more than an hour across the plains before dark clouds roll overhead. The rain falls heavy and fast, cutting off almost all visibility. Your people try to beat their way through the weather but it’s too much. They soon turn back, soaked to the bone and shaking like leaves in the autumn wind.

Meanwhile, Farmer Jack looks for a way to speed up the growth of the crops. He tries all kinds of wacky ideas, but just cannot figure out a way to keep the soil moist. He does however see storm clouds amassing to the South that should be here shortly. They may help boost the crop growth for a short period of time.

>>42219177
ugh that's a lot of wasted turns. not sure we should but it would mean better crops, ability to fish, and it would give a defense bonus if someone attacks across the river.

decisions decisions

Farmer Jack reports to the Elders that he has figured out a way to invigorate the crops and reduce their time to grow by 5 turns. He says that a small channel dug through from the nearby river, all the way to the farm, and then cross-linked throughout the crops; should sufficiently moisturise the seedlings. The Elders discuss, and predict that the task could be accomplished in 6 turns.
 you can use both actions to complete it twice as fast

Meanwhile another villager recalls a time at the previous settlement, where he and a friend would interweave reeds into a lattice shape; casting them into a nearby stream to catch small fish. He believes that, if we can find reeds at the riverbank, he can replicate this and allow us to fish the waters for anything that swims within.

Your people decide that after extended scouting, there is a better place to live. Thus, over the next few weeks; they dismantle their buildings, abandon the farm and vacate to a new place. “Aroostook”.

The journey used a lot of resources, and it is now apparent that food is at an all-time low. Half of the cattle were slaughtered in the move and the farms had to be dug up to retrieve the seeds for later use.

This new area sits beside a 20ft wide river, with a moderate current. There are also a couple of wooded areas nearby, large trees that probably accommodate hidden life. Luckily, there are a few reeds nearby, which the young man from earlier notices straight away and sets to gathering.

Your people straight away tend to creating nets for fishing. As soon as the basic fishing nets are created they are put to use. After a week of fishing an interesting grey-coloured catfish, it becomes apparent that a constant fishing presence can sustain the populace, but it will cost 1 action each turn.

Meanwhile, Farmer Jack recreates his farm and gets people to help him replant the seeds. After a few calculations, he works out that it will take only 2 turns to dig irrigation channels for the farm.

The Elders look out at the river that may serve as our lifeline in hard times to come. Swimming it may be dangerous if we wish to cross, but they are sure that it can serve us in other ways than just defense.

Following the river to the East, your scouts find that the river is threateningly enclosed by trees on each side, with more mountains towering to the South. The scouts head on for a few days, the river seems endless. They head back, but can’t help but feel uneasy when travelling through the forested area. They even go as far as wading through the water at knee-length to avoid going to deep into the woods. Somebody is watching you.

The scouting party of 10 that head to the West follow around a few bends, with nothing but plains as far as the eye can see. A couple of days later, they come into a fork in the river. It is here that they came under attack. The 3 people that return report that they had rains of spears thrown down on them. Large shadows stood on the banks looking down and throwing death down at them. One of the scouts swear that he saw a blaze of flame engulfing one of the others as he ran away.

In other news, those who remained behind built a small shack at the river edge full of spare nets, fish bait and crates to store fish in. However, it currently isn’t possible to store the fish as they decay too quickly.

>>42220949
It is not the most pressing thing in the list so far, but we should really increase our knowledge of architecture to both increase the quality of our settlement to ensure an easier time with survival, as well as being able to create a good enough bridge to get across the river. You said that it is 20 feet across so it is very easy to assume that we are not even getting nearly as many fish as we can so far. If we can do this then sustaining ourselves off of fish might not have to be an entire action.

Probably dense forest+not being able to cross the river.

>>42221207
>but we should really increase our knowledge of architecture

Agreed

We've got some spear chuckers up river, stronger buildings+walls will be necessary.

Also, bows

>>42221217

that's where the ELVES live, they'll shoot you if you go there

>>42221187
we currently have no need to transport the fish and expeditions.

and it's simple to create a calm spot with some rocks

>>42221207
yeah, after we have a logging camp

>>42221226
ah ok.

that southern mountain looks like our best source for minerals later, as it's not far from the river we can use to transport the ore back to our village.

>>42221226
we can just store the fish in nets in the river for now

logging camp should be a priority, we cant do shit without a source of wood (tools, buildings, defenses, bows, spears)

Your men take their basic shovels and begin to dig the channels for the farm irrigation. They begin from the river’s edge, and start excavating at an incline towards the farm. Other already at the farm start digging small cross channels alongside lanes of seedlings to ensure efficient watering. The work will take another week before the channels can be linked and for the farm to be irrigated completely.
>1 more action needs dedicating to this build before it can be used

Meanwhile, the fishermen stall their catching and construct a small structure alongside the fishery. It is essentially a net draped along frames of timber and posted into the riverbed. It allows the current to flow through the cage, whilst keeping the fish that are caught and in excess within and alive. Currently, per turn, you are fishing 200 units of fish in excess. In other words, for every 2 turns of fishing, you get a free turn of food.

The farm is finished and irrigated! Despite that, Farmer Jack is sure that he can decrease the time by even more in the future.

The village celebrates with a small festival in the middle of the village. The fishing is done quickly and out of the way. The people dance, they wear eccentric costumes and sing to each other. They are ecstatic and feel completely invigorated. The future looks bright!

The fishermen continue, getting more and more proficient with their nets. It’s possible that they may soon have a new idea for more efficient fishing.

The Elders demand that a logging camp is to be built at the edge of the nearby woods. The men get to building it from thatch, excited that it may be the last thatch building they may have to build. They get the camp halfway completed. There is a yard to chop wood, houses to store it and even a room to whittle and carve it.

The men who are tasked with guarding the village at night decide that they need some ranged combat capabilities. One man claims that throwing shortened spears through some sort of device could work. After a week of testing; they come up with a fur sling that can fling arrows at their enemies. It isn’t the best weapon for throwing arrows, but it’s all they could think up at the moment.

As time has passed amongst the villagers, the bounty of love has flourished. Your population has grown slightly; but with it, the need for food. (fishing will now yield 750 units of food)

The logging camp is complete. With it, the men who remain nearby to farm the lumber and turn it into planks or other usable materials. Whilst shaping the wood and testing it, they work out how to shape it to their will in a more advanced manner.
> + Intermediate Carpentry
> + Wooden Architecture

The others continue fishing. One man presents an idea to the rest of the fishermen. He uses a strand of catgut attached to a small wooden spike to fish from nearer the centre of the river. The other laugh at him, saying that he can only catch one fish at a time. They soon go quiet. The fish that the man catch are much larger and of different colours and shapes to the others. Before long, the nets are all but abandoned; and the sight of groups of men sat on the riverbank, lines cast; becomes commonplace.

Nightfall. The dogs are barking. The livestock are unsettled. The guards douse the fires and look out attentively across the plains.
Before long, figures can be seen heading towards the village drawing a cart. They look small. There are around 20 of them, and they are about 100ft away. They must have spotted the village, as they are heading straight to you. They have no lights, and are nothing more than silhouettes under the dim moonlight.

>[EVENT]

100 men take up spears and head out, escorting one of the elders. They take torches and hold them high, trying to look as intimidating as possible whilst looking to see who approaches.

Soon, the figures come into view.
Dwarves.

They are not warriors. They are ragged and practically carrying their homes on their backs. They are bandaged and bloodied, and it soon becomes apparent that they wagon is carrying wounded Dwarves.

"Hail Humans!" The leader shouts.

"We come to you not as foes, but as beggars. A great host of Gnolls and Goblins descended into our halls and began a grand slaughter. We are the survivors."

"Please, allow us refuge. We can work, and we will not get in your way. Just let us rebuild alongside you, and let us reach strength to reclaim our home."

As the cart stops a a few meters away, the Ox that draws it collapses into a heap on the floor. You see some of the Dwarves are almost at the point of joining it.

What do you do?

The Dwarves are welcomed into your village with open arms.

Over the next week, your people replace all of your structures with wood, and build a crude palisade of sharpened trunk in a horseshoe shape around your community.

The Dwarves show an interest in becoming miners, smiths and builders for you in time. Your relationship with these small people is a brittle one. You are friends on the surface; but your people are more than aware of their gluttony.

Things are looking good for your people, and who knows? Before long you may crush the Gnolls underfoot, and any other that gets in your way.

>>42224456
that may be true but the golden age of civs started maybe a year or two ago with (imo) CyclopsOP and is still going strong, and you're retarded with this "anonymous" thing, its better to have a count and an identity when this is basically roleplaying (making and building a civ) with a large group

>>42224492
agreed,
also were you in the cyclopsOP threads? those were 13/10 everytime

>>42224609

I think I lurked a few. They were good but a bit too detailed if I remember correctly. I have a memory like a sieve so aren't sure.

>>42224695
im sorry did you just say "too detailed" does not compute
anyways im going to email you later on and we'll talk

>>42224724

I'm not sure, I thought that they had modifiers on things as simple as weather and type of clothing. Am I thinking of something else? Because it just struck me as a little too much info. I like my Civs to have an even balance of narrative-driven story as well as conflict-resolution from rolls and stats.

But cool, it'll probably be morning (where I'm from) before I check it, it's pretty late here.

>>42224798
no, it was the one with the blue female child cyclops in the OP picture, he had a cool concept with an amazing storyline (and a cool format of doing his roll results, which i might copy when i finish my setting)
and ok np

>>42224609

this golden age thing is highly debateable, and the experience of taking part in a storytelling process with anonymous strangers has always been part of the appeal, means of long term identification being used sparsely mainly to provide continuity
if you feel the need to single yourself out to feel special go ahead by all means, just don't make the assumption this need is generalized

>>42224892
of course its highly debatable its my opinion
>if you feel the need to single yourself out
lol no its nothing like that its to seperate yourself and have a voice that is identifiable in civ games
i dont have a name in any other threads
