Rules Continued
------

--You can crush 50 points of 'related' bonuses (DM's judgement) down into one 20 point bonus and a 3rd action die. The 4th action die costs 100 related bonus points, which is crushed into one 20 point bonus. The 5th die costs 150 points...etc.
--Related means that the bonuses are similar in nature. For example: military formations, crossbows, fortifications, elite troops, enchanted swords - these could all be crushed into one 20 point military bonus and a new action die. Alternatively: trading posts, caravans, bazaars, currency, could be crushed into an economic bonus and a new die.

--Appropriate resources are needed to perform related actions
--If you don't have the right resources and prerequisite magic/technology, your civ will flounder. Example: wood elves cannot start the game by researching spaceflight (well, they can...it just won't work very well)
--Add appropriate bonuses to your dice roll to determine the total success
--Bonuses only apply to related rolls. For example, a spearfighting bonus won't help boost an action about building a school

--Attacking any foe uses up one of your actions. Defenders may choose to sacrifice actions to add to their defense total
--If your target is far away, you may need to spend turns gathering your forces and moving into position
--Combat rolls take place separately. You have combat dice equal to half your action dice, rounded up
--Your combat effectivenes is the total of all your combat dice rolls plus any accumulated military bonuses
--Successful wars allow you to steal/destroy enemy bonuses and resources depending on your intentions and your dice rolls
--Wars typically make the population unhappier over time

--Random global events will test the preparation of your civilization
--You can argue your case in all activities but the DM’s calls are final
--Remember that this is a gentlman's game and police your own actions
--Some people may be aggressive in order to see you driven before them and hear the lamentations of your women. Play at your own risk!
--Roleplay to your heart’s content, creativity may be rewarded by the DM
--Rules/difficulty are subject to change by the DM as needed, this rule set follows previous examples but may need adjusting

Color: Gold
Race: Insectoid
Government: Theocratic despot rule
Location: Northern most dessert

Fluff: The evolving Insectoids began as simple primitive insects, but upon the evolution of the God Bug and it's creation of the hive mind, they were able to band together to create some semblance of a society. They seek evolution into the ultimate form of life.

>>1922962

MAGES

A few scouts cross the river to look for new arable land for the mages to start some farms. While the land seems promising, they run across a pack of wolves and are driven back. Luckily, no one was injured.

Meanwhile the tribe begins to harness the natural magical energy with which they're gifted. The experience of the elders helps aid the process for the young tribe members. [+2 magic control]

>>1922982

ABOLETHS

The Aboleths manage to find a small seaweed field. Their settlement should be alright for the time being. [Food: moderate]

Later, the Aboleths scout further from their deep dwellings and find a shallow coral reef. The encounter a race of peaceful sea-dwelling fish people. They seem rather primitive, focusing their time on farming smaller creatures for food and breeding. But they could be ripe for control.

>>1922985

LACHSTAGEN

The lachstagen hunters stumble across a huge herd of bison passing through the area. The hunt is wildly successful! [food: plentiful]

The research on boats is slightly less successful, but they do manage to create a primitive dug-out type boat that can safely traverse shallow waters. [+1 canoes]

>>1923006

APES

The apes stumble across a natural orchard filled with small red fruit - and nearby, a field of wild berry bushes. This will certainly help feed the tribe for some time on its own. [food: plentiful]

Later, the elders of the tribe decide to honor this discovery by creating a place of worship to the spirit god, H'ar-Ambe. While the altar is a simple construction of rock and wood, a singular peace settles over the nearby area. Members of the tribe find themselves drawn there when contemplating difficult problems or seeking guidance. [+1 spirit magic, +3 monkhood]

>>1923076

Using their natural understanding of shaping rock, the dwarves carve tall granaries from the stone of the mighty mountain. The extra food storage will help in a pinch. [food: plentiful]

The foundation of a brewery is laid but the dwarves get drunk on shoddy grain alcohol and progress falters. [brewery progress: 1/3]

LACHSTAGEN

The Lachstagen perfect a method of building a large "tall canoe" which is bound together by logs across an open center. This new craft is greatly shielded from the waves and wet below and can skim across the water at surprising speeds. [replace +1 canoes with +4 pontoon boats]

Perhaps inspired by the lingering scent of blood, Lachstagen craftsmen go to work on all useful parts of the bison, creating not only clothing for the tribe but improving on their still-meager shelter. [+3 leatherworking, +3 leather tents]

>>1923172

MAGES

The mages continue their magical research. They make improvements in channeling the energy through their bodies to become more consistent. [+2 magic control]

With the farm plans temporarily stymied, the mages hunt in the nearby forests. Their growing magical prowess makes short work of a few deer. Luckily, you also find the berries they were eating! [food: plentiful]

>>1923210

APES

The village decides to foster the growth of the orchard in order to create a more permanent source of food. They start by fencing off a section of land to protect it from wild animals. [agriculture +1]

One of the tribesmen is injured, and they take him to the area near the altar for rest. One of the elders attempts to control some of the ethereal spirit magic to help his comrade, but it doesn't go well. The good news is he will likely make a full recovery on his own.

>>1923220

DWARVES

The brewery is a mess of stumbling and disorganized dwarves, but the fear of alcohol withdrawal pushes them onward. Nothing will stop a dwarf that needs a beer. [brewery 2/3]

Less drunk dwarves put their heads together (figuratively) and create a runic language. The first word they create? -Brewery-. This is carved in very large letters and placed at the corner of the mostly-constructed building. [+2 rune language]

>>1923227

ABOLETHS

One of the aboleth leaders takes a small contingent to experiment on the hapless fish people. Their influence is apparently immediately, but exact control over their actions is difficult. You do manage to have a group of them leave some food on a nearby sea shelf. The group imprints themselves as unshakable leaders into the subconscious of their unwitting future servants. [fish people enslavement 1/4]

The aboleths scout into deeper, darker waters. Below, in the depths, strange, oozing black bubbles rise from a space between the rocks. The members of the elder council agree that this is a source of chaotic power, perhaps the source of their own magical inclinations...but how to harness it? [chaos energy source 1/10]

INSECTOIDS

Swarms of bugs leave the hive in search for food. They descend on a cactus patch, underneath which are also one of their favorite food sources - other bugs. This time, they come up with empty pincers.

The insects back at home work to expand the hive, excreting new layers of hardened bio-wax to make room for new occupants. [+1 hive construct]

>>1923353

LACHSTAGEN

The Lachstagen take their pontoon boats across the channel to the island. Exploring it reveals a plentiful hunting ground. There are hills in the center of the island that have shiny brown rocks. They are very hard, harder than normal stone.

Other members of the group venture west across the plains. They find the remnants of very large footprints past the bison herds, but they don't find what made them. Surley there must be something out there...

>>1923365

APES

The apes successfully complete an orchard using the available stone rock of their valley home. It is well protected from the elements and can safely hold the harvest. [resource: fruit, +2 agriculture]

The elders continue to meditate near the altar, but make little notable progress. They can feel whispers of something just on the tip of their tongues.

>>1923398

DWARVES

Finally.

Finally.

THE BREWERY IS COMPLETED!!! Surely, this is the grandest day in all dwarfendom. The ruler of the village himself takes the first sip from the first cup of the first batch of spiced dwarven ale. You can virtually see his pupils dilate. [resource: Dwarven alcohol] [+3 construction, +1 brewing]

Old oral tales tell of dwarves using harder rocks and stones. The mountain seems plentiful with different types, much better than hitting stone on stone. The smart batch that worked out the runes starts sorting these into different groups and characterizing them by color and natural occurrence. [dwarven metalcraft 1/5]

>>1923432

MAGES

The animals prove no match for the mages' growing control over magic and territory near the river is staked out for a farm. Magic assists in cutting down and hauling wood. [farm 1/2]

Enterprising mages attempt to help the plants grow using magic. The effort seems to accelerate the growth of seedlings, but no further than that in the plant's life cycle. At least you can get them started reliably. [+1 nature magic]

>>1923495

ABOLETHS

The effort to subordinate the fish people continues, and it accelerates rapidly as more aboleths participate following the initial success. Soon enough a kelp farm is being constructed on the outskirts of their village, alongside a stone altar. The aboleths begin showing themselves at random, maintaining an aura of mystique. [fish people enslavement 3/4]

Research into the site of chaos magic continues. Multiple aboleths focus their minds on it in shifts, attempting to channel its energies. One aboleth becomes strangely enlarged; another explodes into gore. But the effort continues unabated. [chaos energy source 3/10]

The Lizardkin have been a nomadic society in the northern swamps. They are Omnivores but subsist primarily on meat.

They are adept at the use of poisons, knowing how to apply and neutralize them for use in hunting.

INSECTOIDS

Stymied by lack of available food, the hive begins preparations to raise their own source of inexhaustible biofuels. By altering secretions, they can attract smaller prey bugs to a designated section of the hive. However, it will take time to build something large enough to feed the entire swarm. [feeding dome 2/5]

The intense desire for seeking prey arouses the bloodline of some of the drones. They gather together and enter into a pupa form, transforming steadily into a more deadly version of themselves while the drones tend to their needs. Without a source of food, this process is very slow. [Hunter Bugs 1/15]

>>1923562

MAGES

While finishing the farm, some of your people spot the wolves again, prowling around the edge of the cleared land. Some of the swear they saw one with red eyes leading the others...

However, in the end, the farm is finished. The mages now have a reliable source of food and are able to get a bit more experience raising plants using their magic. [+2 agriculture, +1 nature magic]

>>1923576

LACHSTAGEN

The workers of the lachstagen, experienced from their handiwork so far, are able to reliably harness fire. [resource: knowledge of fire], [+3 toolcraft]

The hunting is successful. Repeated and systematic hunts have given the Lachstagen a reliable source of food and knowledge of how to appropriately use every part of the bison [resource: bison], [food: bountiful]

>>1923595

DWARVES

The industrious dwarves, saved from their hangovers by the hair of the dog, begin construction of a great quarry at the base of Dromadhur. It shall surely be the foundation for many great works in the future. [Great Quarry, 3/7]

The dwarves progress on metalsmithing continues. They learn that different metals become pliable at different temperatures. [Dwarven Metalcraft 2/5]

>>1923635

APES

While tending to the injured ape, one of the children discovers a talent for healing magic. The elders sigh in amazement when the formerly injured ape tells the story to the gathered crowd. "Truly, we have worn out stone shoes in our search for answers, only to stumble across them after giving up." The child is able to replicate his feet, and the others learn from him. [healing magic +2]

The festival is a great success, made sweeter by the presence of the orchard and the new discovery of healing magic. The tribespeople feel like the future holds no limits! [spirit magic +1], [stability: very content]

ABOLETHS

The aboleths insistent control finally bends the minds of the fish people. It is now a regular occurence for them to prostrate on the ground as any aboleth passes by. Their food-gathering efforts and simple minds will make them excellent stooges in the future... [resource: enslaved fish people], [food: bountiful], [+1 mental influence]

Meanwhile, a sudden breakthrough occurs in the study of the chaotic energy source. One of the aboleths notices patterns in the mana-soaked bubbles and replicates them on the stone nearby. The runes resonate together and serve as a means to tamper the energy when it enters the user's body, preventing unexpected accidents. [chaotic energy source 8/10]

LIZARDKIN

The nomadic Lizardkin have tired of their wandering lifestyle. Scouts are directed by the elders to seek a more sustainable place of living. Deep in the swamps, not far from the shore, they find a mighty hill that rises above the bog. The rare dry land and thick tree cover provides great shelter to their people. This is taken as a good omen by the tribespeople. [stability: very content]

The nearby bogs prove to be to acceptable hunting grounds for the lizardkin, though no better than other places they've found before. [food: moderate]

>>1924031

MAGES

The mages move out in force to cull the wolf threat from their lands once and for all. Two elders go with them, cautioning them how to deal with the red-eyed leaders, or Wargs. The mages find the den of the beasts, and an explosive battle of magic ensues. While the mages still lack control, the cave concentrates their efforts for them. Most of the wolves are killed in their homes; the few remaining flee. The wolf threat is eliminated, and the settlers breath a sigh of relief. [stability: content]

Inside the den, you find 8 warg pups, shielded from the magic by their mother. The elder rubs in his chin in thought before ordering them to be brought back to the village. [resource: Warg Pups]

>>1924033

INSECTOIDS

With a burst of effort, the feeding dome is completed! The abundant food source should make other tasks a lot easier as the swarm continues to grow. [food: plentiful], [+3 hive construct]

Note: the required effort to complete the hunter bugs drops from 1/15 to 1/7

Meanwhile, the pupal bugs still slumber in the cocoons, unaware of the changes outside.

>>1924056

DWARVES

The dwarves continue to dig, and, surprisingly, find not only solid stone, but marble! This will be a boon to the rapidly growing dwarf settlement under Dromadhur. [Great Quarry 6/7]

Work on metalcrafting continues. Heating some metal to the required temperatures proves very challenging. [dwarven metalcraft 3/5]

>>1924059

ABOLETHS

An Aboleth scouting team ventures into the deep in search of larger, more powerful creatures than can be controlled and brought into the fold. In the far reaches of an undersea crevasse, discover a pulsating monstrosity that horrifies even them. Even the oldest Aboleth has no name for the creature. Its black body oozes along the gulch with surprising dexterity; a flash of teeth at the end of one appendage hints of its predatory nature. Attempts to slow its progress via mental compulsion don't seem to work well. [Taming the Monstrosity 1/25]

The symbols which resonate with the chaotic magics are further perfected. The source of power is surrounded by symbols drawn on the nearby rock, which enables any Aboleth to approach and draw forth chaotic magic for other purposes. [resource: Lesser Chaos Node], [+5 Chaos Magic, +1 Magic Control]

>>1924089

LIZARDMEN

Crack scouting teams, long used to traversing the swamps, are able to locate a nearby source of Venomweed, a potent poison. When coated on spears and arrows, it proves a powerful paralytic, but is harmless when ingested. [Resource: Venomweed], [+3 poison knowledge]

Other tribesmen work on making their new home more defensible. Traps coated with poison are a chief method. [+2 traps]

>>1924111

APES

Excited at the prospect of learning more, the elders return to the altar following the celebration. This time, the sway of the spirits seems to be in their favor. One of the elders suddenly begins to radiate with a blue light. The others gather to test the nature of this ability with a light spar. They find that the light blunts their strikes and punches, acting as a natural armor. The technique is quickly spread to the village's other protectors [+3 shield aura]

The youth that discovered healing magic is invited to participate in performing the shield aura magic, but it is discovered that after several attempts, they seemingly have no talent for it. The initial excitement concerning the child's achievements begins to fade.

Fluff: Kratiya is a city named for the lake on which it sits. Ir's people are humanoids, little different from humans with the only difference being a fine attunement toward empathy. Kratiyans can feel the surface emotions of others and this has made them slow to violence and quick to friendship. It has also made them excellent at plots and schemes, and detecting ill intent in others.

They dislike hot, dry weather and might die if exposed to it for too long.
Not too long ago they have found a ruin from a long lost civilization.
While exploring them, they have woken the masters of this once great nation. They subjugated the tribal Aratoa swiftly through wondreous feats and when neccessary violence.

LIZARDMEN

The crack lizardmen scouts comb the nearby swamp and stumble across their favorite mount - the giant frogs, Poisonspitters. Their venom is a topical ooze that is sprayed at a vicitim's head to burn away their vision and seal off their breathing. Their black-white stripes mark them clearly in the grey bogs, a warning to other creatures, but the lizardmen no know fear and successfully capture several of them. Their size and ability to leap between spots of dry land makes them the perfect swamp mounts. [resource: Poisonspitters], [+3 beast taming]

The remainder of the tribe continues to build and fortify the new village. Grand plans are laid out to construct shelters using the small forest as base material. [A Worthy Home 1/10]

>>1924380

ABOLETHS

Determined to reign in the beast of the seas, the aboleths gather in force. They send pulsing waves of chaos magic drawn from the node toward the beast in order to weaken its defenses, and then attempt to influence it mentally. The beast seems to hesitate; the effects are much more noticeable than before. [Taming the Monstrosity 4/25]

The aboleths continue to scout the surrounding ocean, and find another nearby tribe of fish people. A brief confrontation leads to the Aboleths retreating into the dark. This group seems far more organized and better equipped - you may have only seen the tip of their iceberg...

DWARVES

(don't forget your construction bonus on the quarry)

The dwarves finish the Great Quarry! Hauling fine stone and chiseling away blocks of marble are now a cinch in future projects. [resource: stone, marble], [+5 Great Quarry], [+1 construction]

The dwarven researchers are able to finally build a furnace that burns hot enough to melt both the shiny brown rocks and the shiny grey rocks. They term the first copper, and the second iron. Though they have yet to find a large deposit of any metal, the dwarves will be able to forge great things in the future! [+3 Dwarven Metalcraft], [+1 construction]

>>1925156

INSECTOIDS

The hunters are evolving...very slowly.

More productive parts of the hive begin to expand underground, a natural method to avoid the heat of the desert, especially during the daytime. It should also be much more defensible than a simple surface construct. [Living Chamber, 2/10]

>>1925461

LACHSTAGEN

(please post your sheet with your roll going forward. Also, I'll give you the extra turn this time but not next time!)

The Lachstagen attempt to use heat to make the shiny brown rocks more malleable. It goes well, but when the fire gets too hot they're forced to back away from the fire. They need some method to contain and control the heat... [Metalcrafting 3/5]

Lachstagen boats travel up across the mighty lake. They find potential fishing grounds but little else. The scouts are excited to report that they saw a mighty sea creature breach the surface, but only briefly.

Back at home, a few creative types have managed to fashion horns and drums from the part of the bison. The sound of the horn can be heard far across the water. [+2 organization, +2 music]

The Lachstagen manage to perfect a basic furnace using rocks to channel the heat into a melting pool up above. This allows them to smelt the newly found copper. [resource: copper], [+ 2 metalcrafting]

>>1925500

APES

The monks make quick progress over the weeks as they travel, following the mountains south. They find and cross over two rivers. They discover more kinds of fruit growing between the two rivers, as well as strange four-legged animals with spindly horns growing from their head. They also discover a mighty, leather-skinned creature with a long snout and a call that sounds like a trumpet. Their footsteps shake the earth.

They also discover the Stangalli! The small, furred creatures make an odd contrast to the hulking apes, though they outnumber you at least 3 to 1. They seem very concerned about small shiny pebbles that they exchange for other things. They do seem welcoming enough, but most of them busy themselves elsewhere when they learn the Apes do not also have these pebbles.

The monks know that effective self-defense can sometimes be best achieved a strong attack. They begin to train in hand-to-hand combat, attempting to use the aura to bolster its effectiveness. Initial experiments don't go very well. In the village, there are rumors of a danger in the east that is causing the monks to be so urgent in their training... [Rockslide Technique 0/10]

1. Arts and Culture
+5 Elder Council
Kratiya begins to develop a culture focused around music and dance. The larger, the better, but there remains a slight preference toward the smaller events. The sonnets and the poems and the mental and emotional connection between just two people.

2. Fishing industry
+2 Organization
Kratiya's position on the lake puts it in the prime location for a thriving fishing industry. While infant and small, its development will help provide food for the people on the island.

INSECTOIDS

The evolution of the hunters is slow...but steady! [Hunter Bugs 2/7]

The living chamber, on the other hand, stalls out due to a small cave-in that has to be repaired. The sheer determination of the bugs to continue constructing is, however, impressive. [+1 construction]

>>1925977

ABOLETHS

The Aboleths reach out across the depths of space and time with their mental influence. They are naturally drawn to a species that appreciates the mysteries of the deep, mysteries that resonate with their own powers. The Lachstagen begin to have dreams, visions of the Aboleths, of being led into a maddeningly satisfying blood rage that never ends.

Note: you have successfully contacted the Lachstagen, though sporadically and through visions. You can send them visions in the future by committing an action, though they may or may not heed them.

Strong progress is made on controlling the undersea beast. It is found a team of 11 Aboleths is the critical number for influencing the hulking creature. Perhaps groupings of 11 could improve on this? [Taming 7/25]

>>1926026

LIZARDMEN

The elders decide to separate the land of the swamp nearby into designated hunting grounds. They will rotate between each section of land, thereby avoiding overhunting while still providing enough food for the tribe. After the first few months, the tribesmen notice a large difference in their yields. [food: bountiful]

The effort is tremendous, but so is the payoff. The home of the Lizardmen soars above the swamp with a foundation made of tress, platforms and walkways of wood, and more thatch than you can shake a stick out. It is surely the greatest achievement of any tribe known in the histories of the elders. Project: [Hill-Home]; [+5 construction], [+3 fortification], [+2 traps], [stability: extremely content]

>>1926033

APES

After making a good impression on the Stangalli, the apes attempt to befriend one of the wandering behemoths. The fruit does seem to attract them, but they don't come over to eat it until it is left on the ground and the apes move away. Still, it's a start. [Behemoth Taming 1/7]

A sudden breakthrough occurs during the training back at the village. A monk discovers that by rippling his aura in time with his punches, the blows seemingly multiply. Though illusory and slightly less powerful than the main strike, they could easily unbalance or knock over and opponent. [Rockslide Technique 5/10]

>>1926117

MAGES

The mages put their heads together and think of ways to reduce the burden of manual labor. It occurs to them that they could animate workers for themselves using their magic. They attempt to do so using an easily manipulated material: the mud next to the river. [Mud Golems 3/7]

The mages continue to work on the mud golems. [5/7]

>>1926137

STANGALLI

The Stangalli recognize the need for a robust foodsources to keep up with their growing population. The Council of Misers begrudgingly helps to fund the construction of farms in the rich riverlands. [+2 farming, food: moderate]

Meanwhile, ambitious explorers comb the mountainside for resources. They prove a rich hunting ground, though nothing else is discovered for the time being. [resource: furs]

>>1926243

DWARVES

The dwarves begin to prospect for metals. The mountain surely has stores of these precious materials...somewhere! They can practically smell the stuff. [+2 mining]

Meanwhile, the dwarves start to prepare a smelter for what is surely soon to be an abundant flow of mineral wealth! [Smelter 4/5]

>>1926319

KRATIYA

The Kratiya are a cultured people and demonstrate this through their love of dance. One of the actors falls offstage in the big performance, but funnily enough this endears him to the audience. A somewhat awkward star is born! [+1 dance]

Meanwhile, the fishing industry is booming. While still small scale due to the limited nature of their boats, it seems like there's always another fish in the sea! [+3 fishing], [food: plentiful]

The group begins to refer to the particular beast as Big Sam and attempt to follow him from a reasonable distance. [Behemoth Taming 1/7]

>The traveling monks also decide to gather some of the foreign fruit from the area in order to take home. They sample many of the different kinds they find in order to understand taste. They hope that these fruits can be grown at home and will provide nutritional or perhaps other strange benefits.

>>1926463

MAGES

The mages finish their mud golems. It's actually quite the work of sophistication, despite the fact that the mud golems don't look it. The magic drives them to work in predetermined patterns, though a mage or two generally have to oversee them. With this, the mage's food woes are a think of the past. [food: abundant], [+2 magic control, +2 nature magic]

The mages begin construction on a center of learning. It will be their largest undertaking yet by far, but the elders hope it will pay dividends in time. [Mage Tower 2/10]

>>1926478

LIZARDMEN

The hunters are inspired by their new home, but they more than any in the tribe know what dangers lurk in the world. They begin a fierce training program and recruit fresh younglings into their training. [+5 rangers]

Other lizards put their skills to use, surrounding Hill-Home with an increasingly complex array of ambush points and traps. [+2 traps, +1 fortification]

>>1926485

INSECTOIDS

The insectoid hunters finally show signs of change. Their forelimbs are growing into sharp, serrated claws. [Hunters 4/7]

Meanwhile, the main living chamber is coming along. The insects dig in shifts to make continuous progress. [Living Chamber 5/10]

>>1926489

STANGALLI

The industrious Stangalli quickly process the furs into finished goods. They sell well like gangbusters. [+3 industry]

The Misers see the value of profit if they can centralize and more easily tax commercial actives. Construction begins on a large marketplace. [Grand Bazaar 1/12]

>>1926490

DWARVES

The dwarves successfully find rich veins of both copper and iron! [resource: copper], [resource: iron]. One drunken dwarf stumbles down a small mineshaft and lands on something hard and uncomfortable. He believes this is the ground. It is also a strange stone he's never seen before that shimmers white in the moonlight...

The dwarves are drinking beer and smelting molten metals. Surely this can't be a good combination. Or can it?!!? [Smelter 5/5, +2 construction, +4 dwarven metalcraft]

>>1926491

ABOLETHS

In their ever-insidious plotting ways, the Aboleths conspire to weaken the fishmen nation from within before sweeping in as 'saviors'. No one can stop them from completing their heinous plot! Muahahahahaha! Ha! [Chaos in the Fishman Nation 2/15]

The Aboleths continue to charge forward with the newfound advantage over the undersea creature. [Taming the Monstrosity 12/25]

>>1926528

KRATIYA

The first settlers attempt to spread to the mainland surrounding the lake, but they're quickly chased off by stout, ugly natives! The green-skinned creatures seem highly aggressive, but at least they don't have any way of crossing the lake.

Kratiya shipbuilders work innovating the rudder of their small boats. This makes steering on the wind-whipped waters of the lake much easier! [+4 shipbuilding]

Note: Fish as a resource, +3 fishing is a development bonus

>>1926634

APES:

While Big Sam is not a particularly sociable creature - his brethren aside - he does seem to be less wary of the apes as he grows used to their presence. [Behemoth Taming 2/7]

The apes are successful in their endeavor to gather new and interesting fruits to take home. One bright purple fruit about the size of a fist is particularly delicious. It seems to fill one with fresh energy after eating it, even if they've walked a long distance. They're anxious to bring it back to the tribe where it can be cultivated...

ABOLETHS

While nothing of note seems to have happened yet, the fishmen under your control report that there are rising disturbances in the main empire. You learn that there is great tension between the nobles and the lower farming castes, and between a faction of nobles closer to shore, and a faction near you, in the deeper waters. [Sowing Chaos 4/15]

Controlling the beast has taken another step forward. While focused, the Aboleths can actively tap into its mind; the leader essentially controls it like a puppet. However, once the magic is released, the beast becomes aggressive and erratic. The researchers are careful to keep their distance. [Taming 15/25]

(note: you now have active communication at will with the Lachstagen, limited to dreams/visions)

>>1926931

KRATIYA

(please link to the turn post in the future)

The Kratiya send out a peaceful emissary to the greenskins. With fewer numbers arriving, they don't seem quite as aggressive as before. They make themselves known as a tribe of goblins. The chieftain makes only one statement personally. "This, our land, not yours!" However, he does agree to mutual peace as long as their territory is not violated (marked on map). Maybe there is a way to get on his good side? [+1 diplomacy]

A new form of art comes into being, made using shades of charcoal and and various dyes. This competes against the old, traditional style of affixing shellfish and plants in a form of sculpture. Rather than spur new growth, the traditionalists and modernists fall into a fierce rivalry. Over the course of several weeks, this culminates in the public stabbing of a traditionalist who mocked a rival artist's depiction of a fish! Shockwaves of unease are sent through Kratiyan society... [stability: low]

>>1927269

BACATIA

(please post your sheet along with your actions in the future. Be sure to track your projects and bonuses)

The Aratoa are ordered to scout the surrounding area. The ruins of the fallen vampire kingdom are tucked into the surrounding mountain valleys. They find an ancient sacrificial site halfway up one of the mountains that seems relatively intact. Perhaps the vampires know something more about how to tap into its power? The scouts also report that larger and more organized Aratoa tribes can be found further out on the islands. The vampires will have to be careful about overplaying their hand too soon. [resource: sacrificial altar], [+2 dark magic], (rival tribe marked on map)

The Bacatia order construction of a lumber camp to gather resources to reconstruct their home. The Aratoa make slow initial progress, being unfamiliar with heavy woodworking. One of them is hurt trying to wield in axe, making the rest of them frightful of the process. [Lumber Camp 0/3]

>>1927727

LACHSTAGEN

The Lachstagen take the dream visions as a good omen. They attempt to dream together in an effort to send some sort of message back from whence it came. (note: you now have limited communication with the Aboleths via dreams/visions)

The Lachstagen successfully create flamberges from their newly found source of copper. They will surely prove deadly weapons in any armed confrontation. [+3 flamberge]

Adventurers from the Lachstagen seek new horizons. Equipped with their flamberges, they fear no evils and make short work of a wandering pack of large wolves that attempt to challenge them. Eventually, they find a sprawling set of farms along a river worked by strange, moving mud-statues. Some kind of great thing is being constructed on the other side of the river, a large, towering tree-like structure.

Note: you have found the Mages and may now actively communicate with them!

>>1928104

DWARVES

The dwarves begin construction on a central mine shaft that stretches through the fresh veins of copper and iron underneath Dromadhur. [Mine 3/5]

Meanwhile, the leader of the dwarves decrees that his law shall be inscribed upon great marble tablets carved from the quarry. These tablets shall be placed at the side of the entrance hall under Dromadhur such that all citizens will know and heed them. [Codified Law 1/4]

The Aboleths decide that they have done enough damage to the fish nation that it's civilization will start deteriorating into chaos on it's own. So, they decide to focus on other things for awhile and come back to them later.

> Using the lesser chaos node, the Aboleths organize and construct an enchantment that gives it's affected immense physical strength, advanced predatory senses and bloodlust (which sends the affected into a beserk rage at the smell of blood increasing damage output and endurance). The affected grow sharper teeth, longer claws and more alert senses. Like all chaotic dark magic though, there is a quid pro quo to the void: the affected creature must give into their bloodlust and kill at least one living creature every few days. If an affected creature does not follow through with this, it will be driven mad and slowly become a monstrous creature of the void. The enchantment is passed through physical transmission, like the "were-" curse (e.g. claw, bite, etc.), if the newly affected victim is not killed. The Aboleths offer this enchantment (through dreams and visions) to the entire populace of Lachstagen as a demonstration of thier power and the benefits they can give if they are worshiped as gods. [+21]
> Still keeping thier distance the aboleths continue to influence the creature's thoughts so that it can be controlled as a hero unit for the nation. They organize 11 Aboleths and continue to weave chaos magic in with thier mind control abilities. [+21]

APES TURN 9

Big Sam snorts angrily when the Apes attempt to get closer. I guess he's in a bad mood today. [2/7]

Meanwhile, another monk returns to the village with the purple fruit. The elders are amazed at its properties, and they quickly designate an area in the village to grow it. Surely they'll be useful in the future. [+1 agriculture], [resource: Power Plums]

>>1928348
The Aboleths name the horrifying monstrosity pulsating its black oozing body in the far reaches of an undersea crevasse: Yi'axkratos-Ny'lotep (which roughly translates to "crater demon").

>>1928348

ABOLETHS

The Aboleths sense the potential vulnerability of the Lachstagen due to their affinity for blood. They begin to construct a means to offer them greater powers... [Wereplague 1/15]

Attempts to control Yi'axkratos-Ny'lotep, as the researchers have dubbed it, are beginning to bear fruit. It seems to recognize the Aboleths that frequent its lair and is no longer aggressive toward them. [Taming 19/25]

>>1928353

BACATIA

The Aratoa servants of the vampires are quite experienced with hunting in the surrounding lands. They gather several four-legged creatures with long, pointed horns for the sacrificial rites. [resources: bulls, leather], [food: plentiful]

>>1928381

DWARVES

The mine is finished! The dwarves celebrate their newfound and continual access to wonderful, shiny metals. What will they build next? [Mine 5/5], [+3 mining, +2 construction, +2 metalcraft]

At the bottom of the newly dug mine, the dwarves discover a pocket of the glimmering white stones! Unfortunately, their cast-iron picks do more damage to themselves than to the rock. They need something stronger to deal with this.

Meanwhile, the leader of the dwarves finally has his rule codified in stone. The great tablets are positioned at the entrance to the growing underground...kingdom? [The Marble Laws 4/4], [+3 organization, +2 runic language], [stability: very content]

>>1928382

LIZARDMEN

With their new home as an effective base, the rangers venture deeper into the swamp, away from the coastline. They find two things: first, a pack of swampstalkers. The slinking, ink-black, short-furred predators are extremely agile and extremely dangerous. The rangers decide to give them a wide berth, for now, but at least you know they're there.

The rangers keep moving deeper into the swamp. They can see mountains in the distance. One of the rangers stops, having found a strange shiny object sticking out of the swamp muck. He tugs it free. The object is a shiny grey, and razor sharp. The handle glimmers in the sunlight. They can't help but wonder where it came from - some treasure of a lost tribe?

Attempting to use their newfound magic produces sporadic results. One of the youths manages to make a bush of venomweed grow like gangbusters. [+2 nature magic]

>>1928384

APES

The Ape expedition bids farewell to Sam and his herd and continues southward. Eventually, they stumble across a sprawling farming village. Strange mud statues as big as the apes are tending to the fields. A half-completed tower rises in the distance near the foothills of some mountains.

Note: you have discovered the mages! You may communicate and negotiate with them at will.

Meanwhile, the monks continue to make good progress in learning the rockslide technique. The illusory additional blows are becoming nearly as strong as the real thing. [Rockslide Technique 7/10]

>>1928387

KRATIYA

Traders attempt to communicate with the goblins, but are angrily rebuffed at the shoreline once again. The elders have to work quickly to soothe the ruffled feathers of the goblin chieftain. Relations stagnate, but at least it didn't get any worse.

Meanwhile, cooler heads try to bring the two groups of artists together. The bloodshed seems to have had a sobering effect on the community, and frustrations start to fade. [Schism Resolution 2/3]

>>1928417

LACHSTAGEN

An ambitious group of hunters try to take down one of the grey behemoths that wander the plains. It doesn't go as planned, especially when one of them uses its long snout to smash a hunter sprawling across the grass. The rest decide to keep their distance.

Back at the village, attempts to improve their shelter - especially with their newfound copper - seem promising. But there is a lot of headscratching involved. [Longhouses 0/5]

>>1928446

INSECTOIDS

After what seems like half an age, the hunter bugs emerge from their cocoons! Finally the hive will be able to defend itself against external threats. Now that the path has been established, the Hive Mind of the bugs rapidly communicates the information to all the worker drones. More hunters can be evolved much faster in the future, overnight instead of over several months. [Hunter-Killers 7/7], [+5 military, +2 evolution]

This is indeed a grand time for the Insectoid Hive, as the main living chamber has been finished. With food, space to grow, and protection, the bug race is poised for great achievements. [stability: very content], [+2 hive], [+2 construction], [+1 fortification]

(Insectoids, you have [plentiful] food after building the feeding dome earlier. Don't forget to update!)

>>1926700

The Mages continue construction on their tower. It is completed in all its glory! The stone construction is relatively crude but is held together by their magics, making it quite a bit stronger than it seems. It shall be a place of learning in peace, and a place of shelter in dangerous times. [Mage Tower 10/10], [+4 construction magic], [+2 education], [+1 fortification], [stability: very content]

LACHSTAGEN

The Lachstagen decide to search for something stronger than copper. They investigate the hills to the immediate west of their settlement; the copper was in hills on the island, so perhaps something else can be found there. Scouts are quick to report a surface deposit of a opaque black stone that forms irregular crystal shapes (cassiterite). Lachstagen metalcrafters take samples of the stone to experiment. [Stronger than Copper 2/5]

Meanwhile, construction continues on the longhouses. [2/5]

>>1928832

ABOLETHS

11 groups of 11 Aboleths form together in a great chaotic channeling circle in a great attempt to finally bring the beast to heel. The eldritch creature hums and warps its body in time with the pulse of the dark magic. [24/25]

>>1928837

INSECTOIDS

A few hunters scout south. They find two things of note. First, a rival nest of bugs exists south of their own - though it is somewhat smaller, and they do not seem to have any hunters. Secondly, there are great swamplands past the desert to the south. The hunters discover many strange creatures there, including giant frogs (Poisonspitters), vicious-looking felines (Swampstalkers), and a humanoid race of lizard-folk.

Note: you have found the lizardmen! You can contact them if you want...do bugs speak the common tongue?

The swarm recognizes the advantage of further evolution but is frustrated by the slow pace. The Hive Mind consensus is to build a specialized structure in which to evolve more quickly; however, news of the hive to the south stirs up the nest and little work is done. [Evolution Pool 0/15]

Note: track completed projects pls (Living Chamber, Feeding Dome)

>>1928910

APES

The Apes spar with the mud golems, being of similar size. The golems don't really put up much of a fight, mostly standing still as they are crushed bit by bit. The Apes do gain some insight on how their aura interacts with foreign magic, however. [Shield Aura +1]. The nearby overseeing mages seem somewhat upset at having some of their workers pulverized...?

Progress on the rockslide technique is slow, but steady. The elders are patient. [8/10]

>>1928913

ILLITHIDS

The illithids direct their mind-servants to begin the construction of hardier food sources. [Farm Complex 0/2]

Research into biotechnology is old hat for the Illithids. Initial experiments, however, produce erratic results. The Elder Brain is not pleased. [Basic Biotech 1/3]

Note: territory is now on the map

>>1929050

DWARVES

At the direction of the chieftain, the dwarves do not cease their investigation into the shimmering rock. Although, even without his direction, they probably would have kept at it anyway. After several days and many wasted pickaxes, they are able to forcibly chip samples of the stuff away. Upon testing, the metalcrafters believe that it is far harder than their best iron and seems to contain some sort of strange energy. Working it into something useful seems very challenging. They are, however, able to fashion a rough pickaxe out of the samples, making it easier to hew more stone in the future. Working it into something more subtle such as armor or statuary remains beyond them. [resource: Manastone] [+4 mining]

There are no fortifications like dwarven fortifications. Invaders beware! [The Gates of Dromadhur 5/20]

>>1929054

LIZARDMEN

Turns out the kittens get their teeth early. [Swampstalker Taming 1/7]

Meanwhile, an emerging class of nature-magic users known as Shamans begin to construct a means to focus their natural powers. They do so by carving lines in the foundations of their home that meet up with the natural lines of energy flowing through the swamp. It is believed that this will make it easier for them to control their magic. [Foundation Totems 1/10]

The Kratiya finally seem to have made a breakthrough with the goblins. The chieftain laughs and claps at their dancing rituals. The goblins seem mostly pleased by the food, at the end of the day. [Normalizing Goblin Relations 1/4]

While the elders of the tribe are away, the youth band together in a heart-warming display of unity. Apprentice artists of both schools come together to construct a great painted sculpture in the center square where the attack took place. The base of the statue is inscribed with the words "May our Art Reflect Life". [+5 art, +2 diplomacy]

MAGES

Note: The Apes have found you and crushed several of your golems. If you want to capture or combat them, you must commit an action to do so. Talking/negotiating requires no actions (trading resources/bonuses does, however)

Ambitious warg trainers decide to initiate a breeding program with the wolves. One group will be made into wild, uncontrollable monsters, bred for their most base instincts. The other group will be bred for obedience and intelligence. [Warg Breeding Program 3/7]

Back at the Mage Tower, the mages attempt to categorize and distinguish various types of magic. They want to make future research more systematic. [Magitific Method 4/15]

STANGALLI

Work is proceeding on the Bazaar...

WHEN SUDDENLY

Dust rises on the horizon. A band of horsemen nearly 200 strong tears across the lands near the bazaar. The riders are dressed in tanned leathers and covered in red war-paint; they seem humanoid, but have bird-like features such as beaks and feather for hair. They holler and shout as they cut through the edge of the town, attacking workers and pillaging the storefronts nearby for food and trinkets.

The Stangalli town militia manages to drive them off before they do too much damage, but the townspeople are more than a little frightened of the possibility of their return. All you know is that they came from somewhere north. [Ko-Vers Bazaar 4/12]. [stability: low}

With a spate of recent foreign misfortune, the Stangalli commit to constructing underground burroughs (burrows? boroughs? Burrow boroughs?) [Burrowed Boroughs 1/10]

BACATIA

With your newfound lumber, some basic housing is built for the Aratoa servants. Despite the hard work involved in first acquiring the building materials, they seem quite happy with their new homes. [stability: content]

The vampires take an Aratoa up to their altar. The poor creature is frightened out of its wits when it sees the bull sacrificed, but the fear turns to relief when only its hand is cut, and then quickly bandaged afterward. The initial ritual forms a dark pool of the mixture, but further refinement will be needed to complete the enchantment. [Aratoa Blood Elixir 1/5]

BEGIN TURN 12

Clarified policy note:

When you make contact with another civ it is assumed you have at least a base line of communication. So you can talk and negotiate freely. If you want to attack or trade technology/bonuses, then you must commit an action (both civs in the case of trading). Defending does not "soak" an action unless you are attacked on two fronts at once (you still do need a separate combat roll though).

>The Aboleths assume that Yi'axkratos-Ny'lotep was created by an enormous amount of chaotic energy, so they search the far reaches of the ocean in the crevasse and surrounding area that it inhabited for a large chaos node or other site of interest. If one is found, the aboleths will attempt to harness it's energy. The area will be known as: Xi'ati-Uix'lotep.
