Insects in a Jungle?
I don't know if that's boring but I wanna play a fast multiplying race

>>1371424
Basically, boring are the mundane races like humans and elves, and also the super-non-mundane races, like angels and demons.
Its hard to write a civ about those

>>1371398
Vampires, Mana wastes

other than that something with minotaurs maybe

Well it looks like it will be Lizardfolk-Jungle, but I'll leave it a bit incase a new guy comes in with an idea you like better, either way, start in one hour.

Vampires are dangerously close to demons in terms with civ writing problems, but I might let it slide if people like it

Outcasts of the Forest Clans. This is all you know of yourselves, as centuries before you ancestors were discarded to roam the world forever. Tales of sweltering heats, biting colds and endless horizons are your past, knowing nothing of you old clans existence. However, today you group of wanderers reached a landscape of crowded plant life, and damp air that cooled the scales. The leader of your group decided that it was time to end the trek that had consumed your past, and create a future for their people, in this new land that called to them.

A Lizard man sits in a tree as he thinks about how to best protect to village. He remembers tales of old warriors protecting the Wanderers with long sharp tools. He snaps on of the nearby branches to start designing his idea, when he realises the branch is extremly large, and while he has the strength to brake it, he does not have enough to hold it. It falls and flatens a child.

Copper is a good compromise, it's found in raw form, and while we won't have good blades right of the bat, it would be possible that a few bits of it are the right shape for primitive axes.

The fight with monster goes perfectly. The Clan draw it out to larger parts of the burrow and encircle it. Kerrik rushs up to the beast as it is about to crush a clansmate, and crushes its claw with a hard strike with his hammer. The beast schreeches as it a set upon by the Clan, its shell breaking, and after not to long, falls still.
The Beast is dead!

bretty gud so far.

Not sure about the rolling system though.
cause then people can just support whatever idea got the highest rolls.

For next turn I'll suggest:
>Gather glowing rocks for the village

>Research boats

>>1376232
Eh, just go with what ever seems best. That being said, I think we should bring the creatures corpse as well since it's chitin and other parts could be useful such as with shields and food.

Also maybe we should start delving into more religious/magical research.
