Bumping with map of the place where we met the Lizardmen

The gates are now open what do we do with our troops. Do we assault the village with our ladders and through the gate ?

>>45177813
meanwhile what do we do at our town.

Meanwhile 45 ratmen are left back home.

What do they do:
A) Try to breed. (consumes double food)
B) Train Army
C) Build/Make ( buildings/weapons-tools) (specify) (needs resources) (also needs architects if it is complex)
D) Gather resources (one of these)
D1) Hunt Meat
D2) Help With Farming
D3) Raw Materials
E) Other (specify)|
F) Explore (specify where we have the immidiate north south and east explored also look at the map for directions)

>>45177813
Sure. Attack wherever possible. Focus some troop on the warlock. If he's continuing at this rate, we're in serious trouble.
>>45177840
The rats back home could possibly breed, right? We should get our losses replaced as quickly as possible. Or are we still on cooldown? If so, we should gather more food with them.

>>45177929
they can surely breed.

Guys roll me 1d10 for the attack

1
2-5
6-8
9-10

and one 1d100 roll for breeding

1-25
26-55
56-75
76-100

Rolled 4 (1d10)

>>45177954
Come on, dice. We need to beat them badly.

Rolled 3 (1d100)

>>45177954
Also, we need more troops. Lots of troops.

>>45177983
Ouch. How many of them die from syphillis?

>>45178000
None but the breeding spree isn't very successful. We get like 4 new ratlings.

Meanwhile the Assault ot the gates begins.

In the downpour of the failed blizzard Zlatmundi's men are the first to break into the settlement. There they are met by what was left of the first force of the humans.

Most of the humans are missing limbs or are wounded but they have boobytrapped the place and the rushing lizardmen quickly give casualties before they overwhelm the defenders.

Someone roll me to see if our shadowteeth can locate and assasinate Zaldo the human warlock before he regains his powers after the ritual to summon the demon

1-2
3-6
7-10

>>45178075

Rolled 5 (1d10)

>>45178075
Come on, I want this guy dead. Thanks.

>>45178203
Our shadowteeth manage to kill the human warlock but at a great cost. We lose all but 7 of our shadowteeth in the attempt.

Meanwhile we retake the settlement. Our joint forces massacre the humans. Some of them throw their weapons down in a gesture of surrender.

Do we take prisoners?

Bump

If you are lurking in the thread i encourage you to post, maybe even take up a name for the thread and participat, otherwise this is pointless for me

bump

>>45178883
Let the Lizard men take them and have there vengeance,

>>45178912


We give the prisoners to Zlatmundi and he just executes them after tending to his men.

Meanwhile our shadowteeth found the workings of the warlock they bring them to Mengnaw. They contain demonology rituals and such. Zlatmundi sees the scrolls and grabs them from the hands of the shadowtooth. He approaches a fire and tries to burn them.

How does Mengnaw react.

>>45179118
A bit shocked but inquires to why Zlatmundi has burned them. Surely there must be a good reason.

>>45179446
Zlatmundi says that such foul sorceries should not stain our minds. He makes the sign of his god. Now that we have retaken their settlement our contract is done.

He promises that in two turns we will have our steel weapons and tools. Along with a bounty of gold coins and a couple of sacks of wheat and apple seeds.

Zlatmundi thanks us from the name of his people and the Sun God.

>>45179985
I say we should go home and fill up the holes in our army. We lost a lot of good men (and women) and the best weapons and armor are worth nothing if you don't know how to wield them.
We should especially restock on shadowteeth. The group did their best and brought the decisive victories in this war.

>>45179985
breed

>>45180160
I don't think that works. Last thread we got a cooldown after breeding, if I remember this right. And if we got one this time, too, we'll end up with four new ratlings again, even though we need like fifty new ones.

>>45180617
so we just roll 100 then

>>45180635
>>45180617

Someone roll me a 1d100

26-50

>>45180780
Meanwhile Drugil and Mengnaw return with the spoils of war. They are greeted as heroes. Sadly some of the skaven don't see their family members returning.

Drugil makes plans for the increase of the population. A celebrational feast in honour of the war heroes is done.

Rolled 95 (1d100)

good enough?

>>45180846
perfect

Rolled 35 (1d100)

Hey guy, i guess you have your experience with civs (i followed this one from the start) but i think some different images than the albeit very good maps will do. Just an opinion/advice. Art goes a Long way in my experience

95 new normal ratlings are bor. Also a couple magic attuned ratlings are born. Some of them are even both water and air attuned which is good. Mengnaw takes the magic able ratlings into his custody and stats training them

Normal ratlings mature in 2 turns. Shaman ratlings will mature in 4 turns.

>>45180956
Meanwhile Zlatmundi sends an emmisary and asks Drugil and Mengnaw to meet him at the windmill to discuss important matters concerning the future of our 2 civilizations

Btw so you know guys we have a passive population increase of +1% due to the bountiful food we can bring to our table

>>45181018
send the two to the windmill
can we improve our cooking due to new foods?

>>45181018
>B) Train army
I fear more trouble seems to be coming up. Can we focus on the shadowteeth?
And is Mengnaw able to train new shamans? We nearly lost all of our magical ability just a moment ago.

>>45180988
>>45181131
And also attend the meeting at the windmill. I think this is important.

>>45181098
Yes our cooking is automaticall adjusted. The apples and wheat seeds help in many kinds of ways. The wheat provides straw for the elephans and horses to eat besides corn. It also provides flour for bread and different sorts of wheat dishes. Apples are a tasty snack for both ratmen and horses.

>>45181131
Mengnaw is currently training our new shamans which will finish in 4 turns.

>>45181145
>>45181098


Mengnaw and Drugil along with their vanguard of 10 shadowteeth and 10 soldiers make their way to the windmill.

There they meet Zlatmundi. He offers them gifts of golden torques and other similar lizardmen jewelry ( but made to fit skaven obviously ). And he asks us if the ratmen of the canyon would convert and start worship the same god as the lizardmen of the lakes.

What is our answer

1) Do we convert to worship the Sun God
2) Do we refuse
3) Do we stall the offer for some time inquiring what will be required of us.
4) Other (specify)

>>45181236
I say we don't have an official religion but they are free to send missionaries if they don't force people to convert

>>45180901
i haven't thought about adding different images

Most of the skaven i find are evil looking and nasty. Our skaven are not so depraved

I guess this is how our normal rank and file soldiers look like when they put away their spear and pull their swords out.

Welp we have no religion so we might as well join. Also start building a temple to cement our new found religion and alliance.

No! Fuck the sun god!

Usurp the Lizard throne!

>>45181500
The sun god saved Mengnaw and Drugil from the demon summoned by the human warlock though.

>>45181466
>>45181307
I guess we will at first let them send missionaries before we start building a temple. See if the people take the religion up. So Zlatmundi is pleased with our answer and says that missionaries will soon start arriving. When the first ones come they open a stall on the main plaza of the town and start giving away different golden trinkets. The shiny appeals to some of our ratmen and they take them up.

The gift Drugil recieves from Zlatmundi of the lake for his help in the war of the south.

Btw we now have around 30 dogs which we can use for hunting and if we train our people to use them we can employ them into battle too. Also they are good for tracking stuff and finding hidden enemies. Camp defense and other useful things.

>>45181693
E) Expand the Sun God's faith
>PRAISE THE SUN!

>>45181753
This right here

>>45181753
After giving the idea some thougth Drugil asks the lizardmen to call priests from their homeland and help him with the construction of a temple dedicated to the sun god. Not much time passes before the missionaries arrive with carts loaded with gold and other holy objects. The construction begins soon after the priests tell the general idea of what a temple building is supposed to be like.

Our magnificent temple rises fast and soon becomes the tallest building in our town. It is connected with the main plaza via a boulevard lined with olive trees and different flower beds.

>>45181886
Can we channel some magic from this god? Or can we get some rat priests up and running?

I'm one frustrated rat.

Fuck the sun. We're rats ffs.

Maybe a lunar cult would have been cool, but a sun worshipping religion? Fuq no.

>>45182007
We breaking the mold now

>>45182024
You're a bad rat.

New picture of town.

Well yeah. The lizardmen preach into the temple but soon we will have our own main priest who communes with the Sun God. Just a little times is needed for the Sun God to find a mortal vessel among our people

>>45182165
my pro paint skills ;D this is so ugly.

Btw some of our ratmen are concerned that the bronze vein east of our town is slowly going deeper.
We will soon need a tunnel in order to extract the precious metal

What do the 179 ratmen in our settlement do:


A) Try to breed. (consumes double food)

G) Other (specify)

We get 1 free tech next turn

>>45182244
>>45182226
If we need to dig the bronze vein deeper, we should do so. So...
C) Build a regular mine into the bronze deposits.

>>45182306
This.

>>45182306
This but also search for iron

>>45182306
>>45182320
Our ratmen excavate deep into the rock. We find gold and iron veins too and also there are some strange mushrooms in one of the caverns we find. We could probably cultivate those mushrooms for food in the near future.

What free tech do you guys choose.

1 Basic Boats
2 Basic Siege weapons
3 Advanced Metallurgy ( will let us smelt steel and gold )
4 Husbandry 2/5
5 Trap making 2/5

>>45182482
Also our new ratlings mature along with some new baby hobbits.

we now number over 275 ratmen with 120 Hobbits living behind our walls. The everyday tasks keep everyone preoccupied and the town is brimming with life.

Son Mengnaw will finish the training of his 7 new apprentices.

275 free ratmen, we can split them in two for two actions if u guys want it:


A) Try to breed. (consumes double food)
B) Train Army
C) Build/Make ( buildings/weapons-tools) (specify) (needs resources) (also needs architects if it is complex)
D) Gather resources (one of these)
D1) Hunt Meat
D2) Help With Farming
D3) Raw Materials
E) Expand the Sun God's faith
F) Explore (specify where we have the immidiate north south and east explored also look at the map for directions)
G) Other (specify)

>>45182482

>>45182939
Out military experts remember that we had problems entering the fortfied village and if it wasn't for the storm from the blizzard our shadowteeth would have probably failed to infiltrate the walls. We have now designed the Siege Ram. ( a house like cart that protects from arrows .)

Pic related. What it looks like

>>45183046
The mushrooms after one brave rats decide to test them are normal edible mushrooms without any special effects. If you eat enough of them you might get mushroom sickness and puke your meal but that is everything they do.
