SAMPLE PLAYER SHEET
Capital City:

Sanctuary Isle:

>600 People.

It's on the island and is rather hospitable and tropical, to say the least. Being the capital it is rather metropolitan and it is mostly self-sufficient as of the moment. It is the birthplace of the people.

> Other Towns population.

>TallSpire:

100 People.

Along the mountain named for its tall spires built into the mountains rocks. Manly a stone mining town and has some room to grow.

>Warm Cove:

200 Population

On the coast one of the first settlements on the mainland. It's known for its heat and desert-like landscape. But especially famous for its cove which holds their most advanced harbors.

>Rushing Gale:

100 Population.

Known for the massive amount of food it brings from its fishing industry and the rushing rivers all around them. They are up and coming yet show promise. Hopefully, they will grow quickly enough!

> Food: 1000
> Treasury: 1000?
> Resources: Wood, Bronze, Stone, Cloth, Fruit's and vegetables. Bronze, Coal. Horses.

>Notable Techs: Farming, Calendar, Advanced shipbuilding. Animal Husbandry. Fishing and Sailing. Trading and Currency and Basic Herbology.

> Notable Magicka: None.

> Military Units: N/A

> Other Units:

Merchant fleet:

>Four Merchant Ships.

Used to help transport goods and people and sell wares. They are simple and unarmored and merely help movement and travel along with increasing income.

>One Trade Hub Ship

A large ship. Made only in Warm Cove harbor and quite costly. Acting like a market plaza in of itself!

Bringing large amounts of people. Spreading their culture and in general making money. They are flagships and bring pride to the nation.

Troubador:

>Two Troubador apprentices

Mounted on a horse and a healer in training. Troubador's are noncombatants and seemingly exist to try to heal those around them through basic herbology. Simple wearing soft cloths and usually soft-spoken and Unskilled

> One Troubador

Skilled and knowledgeable on the subject of herbology. A noncombatant and skilled at helping deal with problems that may arise from injury and disease. Known for their bravery and desire to help those in need to their own detriment at times.

Fluff: The people of Sanctuary as the nation is called are a soft people. Isolated from warfare pain and fighting, unlike many nations they have retained a genuine kindness and hatred of fighting. Preferring peaceful solutions and showing a mercantile bend and a penchant for exploration.

They are quite human looking though exceptionally short. Verging on halflings if not for their plant-like skin and similarity to vegetation they would be called halflings. As of now they simply call themselves Plant-People.

Having no real access to magic and a love for the sea. A love for exploration and a genuine hatred and shove away from violence its a true question whether such a race can hold to its ideals for long?

A small monarchic city-state, and its nearby colony. The venite people are militaristic, but not outright agressive or expansionist. All of the veniteans are freemen, and slaves are forbidden, due to tradition and beliefs. The founding myth of Venia is that a ship carrying slaves wrecked itself on the coast, by the works of Venius God of Seas. The survivors thus founded the settlement in his honour. Citizens of Venia and Turis have certain rights and duties - codified through their very simple writing system-, and participate in an assembly of patriarchs (heads of families/clans) that advises the king. This assembly meets in the hall of peers, a wooden long-hall in the middle of the main settlement.

Culture:
Culture and Government is similar to the Roman Republic. With some differences

Women are not universally dumber than men, but have biological differences that make them less suited for some tasks while more suited for others. Battle and heavy labor is not a women compatible task. Girls that are capable of such work and choose to do so are treated the same as men (not necessarily a good thing).

Women that act in a manner deemed ladylike will be treated with chivalry, women that don't are not.

Worships the Allfather as the One True God, all others are either imaginary or masquerading demons of the Dark One.

Doesn't try to enforce others to convert, The Allfather wants to separate those that truly love him and actively seek him out from those that dont. Non-believers are segregated though.

Segregation between races and religions is common.

Slavery is a necessary evil.
Sex slavery is abhorrent.
Rape and infidelity is punishable by stoning, burning, ect.
Theft is a crime.
Murder is evil, Killing is not. (murder is done simply out of hatred, pleasure, or simple greed. Killing is done simply for duty, such as protecting someone or something or providing for the family or society.)
Cannibalism is an atrocity.
False testimony is punishable by whipping.

Again, not sure if the GM puts these here or if its up to us. But in case it is;
Proper piety of the Allfather grants divine blessings dependent on the prayer and cancels magic from affecting the believer and any items on their person, for magic is a means of luring people away from Him. It makes people lazy and dependent on magic users, who would then exploit and profit from this dependency.

Improper piety removes this protection and leaves prayers unanswered.

Shrines, temples, and religious monuments can extend this protection to the land, the strength and radius is dependent of the piety of the citizens.

Note: the protection means that people cannot be affected either beneficially or negatively.

All knowledge is put into science instead.

The Orangutans of the Houranjhit Kingdom worship a wide, rolling pantheon of Gods that rise and fall in popularity. Many of these deities are ascended 'household' gods and spirits that influential Orangutans bought with them on their rise to wealth and prominence. For example, Khletyani is currently revered by many as a god of the woods and the forests, but she started out being thought of as a tree-spirit of a tall tree near where Wijaya grew to adulthood. The Houranjhit kingdom is tolerant of belief in any and all gods as long as those gods preach obedience to the law of the land, and teaches (and enforces) that theological debates are to be fought with words, not weapons.

Teams are locked in, sorry everyone. I also appreciate all the fluff, however at the beginning nobody will start with military units or resources. The techs are ok as long as it is bronze age again. Refer to the list here that is no later than 2800 BC

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_technologies

Finally, treasury is 1000. You generate revenue through building mines, markets, building roads, making trades, etc. Actions can be scouting the land to gain resources / quests, or building things. The development can be researching tech or magic.

The Illyandei have tamed and ridden their mounts for generations. These mounts bred as they always had for the most part. Only recently have some Clans noticed that by restricting the strongest or fastest to mate with each other the performance of their Vica are improved in kind.

>Development: Social Heirarchy
The Illyandei have lacked a defining social hierarchy. Living as nomadic hunter warriors the social order is decided purely by violence. That does not appreciably change. The only additions are some guidelines on how and when ritual political murder can take place. This development adds to the stability of the clans.

>Action: Train Vica Riders for military service
The Illyandei largely war and raid between each other in the rich forest and grasslands. Some Clans have begun to look further afield for riches, slaves, and glory to the Goddess.

((Question: Are notable Techs only things we can't have at the start and developed later, or are they any important techs we have? If the latter, I'd like Bronze Working, Calendar, Galley, Pottery, Plough, but if the former I guess we have them already?))

Development: Trained Explorers. The Orangutans with the best skill in wilderness survival and finding things are teamed together to teach each other what they know, and hopefully to pass that knowledge to new explorers and future generations.

Development: Improved Fishing. Orangutans live mostly by the edge of the water, and have occasionally taken a fish or two. But if we work on new fishing technologies, we might be able to take them by the dozen!

Action: Explore upriver from Houranjhit.

Engaging in play with each other leafy hair and an ever so slight green tint to their skin. Some with ruby red eyes like ripe strawberry and some with deep blues and greens like the forests and oceans.

The Illyandei start the game among the settling grounds of Teare. They have the unique resource of Vicas, large omnivorous birds who they use as companions and transport. Due to their culture, they trade small goods within their clans, increasing revenue marginally.

They accumulate all the knowledge of past experienced Vica Riders to standardize the art of taming, breeding, and riding the proud birds. They use some of their treasury to train riders, enlisting a quarter of the population to fight.

They establish laws to clearly define the social hierarchy of the various clans, calming sensibilities and uneasiness among the tribes. As a result, a minor boost in their food stockpile results. Population will soon catch up to the stockpile, slowly but surely.

The Orangutans start the game with three towns and have developed a constitutional monarchy. They start with the unique building of the Parliament of Houranjhit. Due to their openness towards other religions and cultures, they are more likely to convince outside neighbors to join their kingdom as loyal citizens.

They train in survivalism, helping them during their scouting missions and bringing better luck to scout rolls. They also improve their fishing, increasing their food stockpile as a result. They scout upriver to explore what could await them.

They compile the numerous maps and personal accounts of weathered sailors to understand the layout of the ocean, giving them better success travelling the ocean and along the coasts. They also learn how to create stable roads, first building dirt paths to ease travel between the towns. A small bit of treasury is spent making sure the paths are completed.

Scouts venture forth past the mountains. Rolling to see what they could find.

To gain the favor of the dragon mother the lizardmen build temples to worship and make sacrificial offerings to the mother. [Note the one in the capital would be a pyramid like structure, cool?]

They are quite mercantile, and happily offer their ores, minerals, and services to you for the price of food or treasure. Accepting the deal would grant you access to various common ores for the price of 25 gold a turn, effectively diminishing your revenue, although you could always work around the revenue streams if you wish. You could also inquire and ask them for other deals if you choose.

The lizardfolk of the desert island rise from the ashes with a fierce conviction that their time is now, and a hold a devotion to the Dragon Mother. They have the unique building of the Grand Temple to the Dragon Mother, shaped as a pyramid in their capital. Like the Venians, they may have good luck if they please the Dragon Mother either with acts in her name, or offering her money, food, or items of equivalent or higher value.

They learn to use several minor spices in their dishes, collected from common plants. As a result, their food stockpile increases as their food is better preserved! They also learn to build roads, and construct them to travel quickly between their towns.

Turn 2 is up next! Also to clarify, Lizardmen and Venians can both sacrifice items to their gods, similar to when you research magic, but to improve their luck in scouting and combat.

Merriment with the dwarfs was a fine affair! Smiles all around and the exchange of drinks and delicacies and food. A deal presented before them and with a small huddling and a few moments of thinking.

They counter offer!

>"A one time offer would be sad, wouldn't it? We all think that instead, we should make a road between Tallspire and here! Us both benefiting from the trade it would allow.

Resources flowing freely us both benefiting! That sounds nice, right? My bearded friend?"

Brushing aside her leaves from her blue eyes this particular citizen of sanctuary seems rather chipper!

>Dev Action
We now know about our nearby neighbors the dwarfs we shall go about trying to learn from them! What can we get to know? What about their culture is intriguing and what about their food and drink is good?

>Dev Action.
Our Troubadours suffer seemingly. Having had a large lull for years now and we must work towards improving and making it so production of them is easier to produce.

Our medicinal brave kindhearted messengers and healers shall rise again!

>Action.
Emboldened by the sight of other sentient life the people of Sanctuary begin to build a trade hub ship hoping to explore the coasts and look for more people.

Sure to be both a profitable and enlightening venture and hopefully a wonderfully happy venture!

Development: Religious Practices

In the land of the Illyandei there are few things that link clan to clan. Some marriages, some feuds, some even share similar cultural practices. All share the faith. Administered from the city of Tearé the revered Goddess of the Hunt is said to have given birth to the world as a giant egg. Realizing it could never hatch, she wept tears which became the rivers and her eyelashes became the trees and grasses. In sorrow, she gave part of her power to the trees and the rivers and the grasses to create life. That life, in time, became the Illyandei. Descended as they are from the sorrow of the Goddess the Elves work tirelessly to return life to the Goddess through sacrifice after hunting and raiding. It is not uncommon for captives in tribal conflicts to be sacrificed to the Goddess. It is believed that only through mass sacrifice after a period of great life flourishing can the Egg be cracked and a new world born.

These religious beliefs, enforced by the Peace Month in the city, is the only real unifying force of the Illyandei. Many universal cultural customs of the Illyandei come from their religious unification. Additionally, adherence to these laws and to the Peace Month provides the Elves the only real chance to marry, breed, and conduct diplomacy under an unbiased and all-seeing eye.

Development: Equestrianism

The Illyandei are primarily hunters. Their entire society, barring what few have chosen to live in Tearé, roam the vast territory on their Vica hunting game. A child is taught to ride before they learn to walk. Their Vica, being long-lived birds of several decades, are often with the children from birth to adulthood to second adulthood. The bond between Vica and rider, as well as the immense skill and effort put into learning to ride and master their mounts makes them unparalleled riders.

Action: Hunt!

One of the Illyandei clans has moved far to the southwest following game trails. The entire clan musters out to hunt whatever lies over the horizon with bow and spear.

The Illyandei develop religious practices, binding the common cultural ties of the various tribes by the shared myths their parents pass onto their children. They also declare the Peace Month, four weeks dedicated to the worship of their Goddess and an abstinence from war. The Peace Month encourages many hunters to hoard their best for the celebratory feast, thus increasing the stockpile marginally.

The elves also insist on teaching their children to ride their Vica mounts early on, making the bond between man and bird stronger, and when they move together they move as one.

One of the band of hunters finds great success! They manage to fell down an enormous bird, the leader fashioning weapons out of the sharp claws and the rest fashioning clothing from the feathers, which provide both warmth and a surprising amount of protection. They bring the enormous creature back to the capital grounds, greatly increasing the food stockpile.

The Houranjhit Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy ruled by King Wijaya and a council of elected members from districts of the kingdom - right now there are 11 councilors. The Orangutans of the Houranjhit Kingdom worship a wide, rolling pantheon of Gods that rise and fall in popularity. Many of these deities are ascended 'household' gods and spirits that influential Orangutans bought with them on their rise to wealth and prominence. The Houranjhit kingdom is tolerant of belief in any and all gods as long as those gods preach obedience to the law of the land, and teaches (and enforces) that theological debates are to be fought with words, not weapons.

Development 1: These creatures are huge and fearsome, but to fashion such shiny art and to build strong defenses suggests a mind beneath those grey hides. We study these creatures from afar, hoping to learn of some of their practices and perhaps some parts of their language to prepare for possibilities of communication.

Development 2: Elder Orangutans have always taught their children the ways of life, how to perform tasks and how to make tools. But as we come together as a Kingdom, we can pass on much more then the knowledge of just one to one. With formal schooling, a single learned Orang can teach many children together with all the basics they will need.

Action: We send scouts to search for any resources that might lie between Houranjhit and Salindha.

The Plant People see the dwarven offer and propose a counteroffer: a joint construction project to connect the realms and allow free trade of goods. The dwarves are delighted, liking the idea of the road to provide better trades. Once the road is built, trade flourishes between the dwarves and Tallspire. The treasury revenue increases from the road toll. Independent merchants who are willing to sell their ores trade their copper for gold, but the higher order ores are kept under close guard by the Dwarven Elite. Access to these goods require negotiating a direct trade deal with these leaders, preferably for a promise of food.

Meanwhile, the Plant People learn more of their new friends. Their people have lived under the mountain range for several years. The tribe you met are one of several who are underneath the mountain. They are led by proud Underkings who oversee the mining production and protect their kingdom from cave monsters who might try and mess with them. Though there are tunnels connecting the various underground settlements, the kingdom you've met are worried as a dragon is rumored has taken nest at the far end of one of their tunnel. Their moods have lifted once they found you, as there suddenly came a new avenue of goods and customers, but old dwarven traditionalists are very upset that they cannae visit their cousins. The King even put an enormous bounty on the dragon's head...

The Herbalist Healer profession is rebirthed! Various healers are formed under the kingdom. Their presence allows for more people to survive than the stockpile can support, thanks to medicine.

Finally, they build a trade hub ship to explore the coasts and discover new friends that may live in the realm.

They manage to tame the slow and quite defenseless giant earthworm! Their meat is very juicy, providing a boost in their food stockpile to 1500.

The island they explore is very dull. Mostly patches of dirt and sand, with wild critters scattering here and there. At the far south of the island they discover a tribe of terrible looking folk...they look like excellent swimmers and ferocious warriors, all armed with nets and tridents, and having numerous teeth in their large mouths. However, their village is small, only numbering 200 the scouts notice. The leader is the largest of all the shark folk, towering over even the mightiest lizardfolk, and wearing the shells of some ancient crab over his own torso and wielding a huge, two handed trident. Their speech is incomprehensible, sounding like wails of dying fish. To conquer the island, it seems, would mean to conquer this tribe...but how?

The Orangutans create formal schooling, ensuring all citizens of the Kingdom have bright futures and are knowledgable in the histories, arts, and practical sciences.

The Orangutans correctly assume that though the creatures look wild, they must possess some intelligence to have constructed such a large statue. They decide to spy on the creatures from afar and learn more of their habits and practices. The spies learn that the creatures do speak their own language, but their accent and voice makes it sound deep, slow, and gargled. They learn they are both a warrior and scholarly race, committing all their knowledge of alchemy to memory, shaving their tusks to create powerful potions that can apparently turn stone items to gold! The chief is the eldest of the tribe, wielding a mighty doubleheaded axe and wearing an all gold suit of armor.

Finally, the orangutans scout to discover more resources.

The scouting party returns with terrible news. A goblin fort has been established by the river east of the capital, ransacking travelers between the towns. When the scouts first spotted it, they were terribly ambushed by the goblins and either slaughtered or kidnapped! The goblins sent the remaining scouts back to ask for 1000 gold and they will stop their harassment campaign. All the scouts know are that the goblins attack in small packs, mostly in ambushes and at night. They are not known to fare well in direct field combat, and are known for their structures.

Development: Vica Archery

The hunters of the Illyandei are known for their riding skills and added to that is the increased popularity of archery while riding. Soon, Illyandei hunting and warrior bands are as skilled in putting an arrow between the eyes of a foe from a hundred yards at full gallop as they are with the lance.

Development: Health and Childcare

During the Peace Month is when most Elven women find themselves with child. It is during one of the many Peace Months of the century that the priesthood begins spreading the knowledge of basic health care to the Clans. The Clans are instructed on the importance of regular bathing, the washing of Illyandei blood from their hands before eating, and the proper birthing and early-child care methods of a clan on the constant move. It is the hope that this advice is put into practice by the clans for the future.

Action: Scout

The Clans strike south and west, hunting for game and glory similar to the great Roc that Clan Naeldi felled years ago. They range further and further to the southwest, following the river tributaries.

The lizards continue with their military training, this time adopting strange tactics to battle foes, specializing in using the environment as their cloak and striking fast and unseen.

They continue their search around the island, this time looking for vegetables to grow. Though the island is mostly dirt, and few greens are available, they are hopeful that they may find something of use.

Finally, the High Priest makes an offering of 250 food and 10 lizards to the Mother Dragon. She is pleased, rewarding not only her blessing but giving the gift of flames to her underlings! The lizards are all naturally able to spit fire from their tongues, though the flames spray out at a short range, and cannot sail as projectiles themselves.

Action: Crush the Centaur!

The destruction of the Maikr tribe by the centaurs and the plea for help falls mostly on uncaring and deaf ears. The clans of the Illyandei are as divided as the land is by river and forest. It is not until the annual Peace Month that the plea for aid is given any credence. In Tearé the survivor is paraded before the assembled clans. They are shamed. For a moment it seems that they are to be sacrificed to the Goddess to appease her wrath. A different course is decided on before that happens. The head priest instead asks for ten warriors from every Clan to step forward. Under the leadership of Clan Naeldi and with the survivor as the guide this combined force of Vica Riders leaves at the end of the Peace Month to destroy the Centaurs. To the most successful Clan goes the glory and the favor of the Goddess!

Development: Clan Structure

Clans are organized from the bottom up. While the Tamar may have authority that authority is derived from the willingness of the warriors and families to follow the Tamar. The position is not hereditary, but is chosen after the culmination of the Blood Hunt. During the Blood Hunt the warriors vying for position of Tamar meet and battle. Killing is not required but often happens. The last warrior standing is then agreed upon by the Mothers of the Clan. If accepted this warrior becomes the new Tamar. The Tamar is then confirmed and blessed during Peace Month, but at that time they may be challenged again for this position. The ritualized system helps keeps social order and provides and incentive for warriors to learn to ride, shoot, and fight while maintaining the respect of their Mothers.

Development: Recurve Bow

The Illyandei are not without innovation. Their reliance on archery has led them to refine some of the aspect of their craft. One of these is the construction of bows. Remaining the recurve dramatically increases power without needing to add additional weight or length making them exceptional for shooting from the backs of a Vica.

The Houranjhit Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy ruled by King Wijaya and a council of elected members from districts of the kingdom - right now there are 11 councilors. The Orangutans of the Houranjhit Kingdom worship a wide, rolling pantheon of Gods that rise and fall in popularity. Many of these deities are ascended 'household' gods and spirits that influential Orangutans bought with them on their rise to wealth and prominence. The Houranjhit kingdom is tolerant of belief in any and all gods as long as those gods preach obedience to the law of the land, and teaches (and enforces) that theological debates are to be fought with words, not weapons.

Action: Exploring deep inland has found strangers, but nothing of immediate use. And with Marauding goblins around, wandering far without protection is made to seem risky. Our explorers organise a more thorough search closer to the immediate area of Houranjhit, trying to find new sources of fruit or grains we might have overlooked, but keeping eyes out for anything of potential use.

Development 1: The river flows by Houranjhit and brings us water, but we know now that other creatures live further upstream in many directions, and they too must pass water. We try and find ways to clean up some of this water, make it better and safer for drinking.

Development 2: Our society has grown to be one where negotiation and consensus has proven the key to resolving internal issues. Now the King and Council meet, together with some learned elders and some persuasive civilian experts to discuss and debate how Orangutan diplomatic principles might apply to meetings with other peoples with their own, very different ways.

Colonists are sent to settle the cyclops village. The monsters are confused and resistant, not allowing you to enter their own grounds. A compromise is reached, and the settlement is built close to the village, but not interfering with the original village. The whole area, including the new settlement and the old cyclops village, is renamed Symmachia.

The colonists learn that the cyclops are an old monster race, some of the first created by the ancients. The eldest remembers when the old gods had commanded the ancient cyclops to work the celestial forges, crafting the finest weapons and armor for the old gods. Now however, the cyclops have fallen from their prominent position, and the gods cease to answer their calls. Only the oldest remember their origins and creation, the rest returning to a primitive culture, where they settle amongst the cliffs, grabbing large fish from the seas and munching on stray sheep, bulls, and humanoids...though that won't happen anymore boss, we swear. As for their own biology, the cyclops have very thick skin, resistant to extreme heat, cold, and poison, but their single eye is their fatal flaw, for if it is damaged by a stray arrow the brain is destroyed, and the beasts fall. They possess little martial skill and intelligence, but have massive strength.

When given the ores, the blacksmiths of Venia work or refining it. They discover that the ore is stronger than their current bronze weapons, is cheaper to make, and due to the richness of the resource, can be created in bulk. They dub the resource Iron.

The centaurs are deemed a huge threat, and all the clan's hunters are sent to destroy them. Rolling for outcome, bonus for riding archers..

The battle is bloody, but victorious. The centaurs have little fortifications, being nomadic tribesmen themselves. They meet the invading clansmen headon, armed with spears and bows. However, the vicas are much faster, and the elves skill match those of the centaurs. Both tribes manage to deliver heavy blows, but due to the numbers they manage to outlast the centaurs. Several flee, leaving the imprisoned slaves at your mercy. You regain the captured scouts, as well as some stray dwarven slaves, who are fearful of who you may be and what you may represent.

Lizards form a writing system. Now they can preserve knowledge permanently and share it with others. The High Priest also introduces an initiative to ensure only the strongest and smartest of lizards breed, passing the genes onto the next generation, making them tough and strong.

The Javelizards are sent out to destroy the sharks. They employ smart tactics, and along with their blessing, are confident in their ability to destroy the sharks.

>>2331827
Luckily, the tactics and blessing is just enough to deal heavy damage. The first group takes out the patrols, but are too slow to avoid immediate retaliation from the sharks. A few of the fastest lizards are able to warn the other two groups, who decide to prompt the luring out further, employing their own guerrilla tactics to take the sharks out easier. The sharks, being incredibly redblooded, rush out and get slaughtered by the hiding and conniving lizards. The second group manages to not be injured at all as they slaughter the most bloodthirsty of the sharks chasing out. The remaining groups rush inside the village as the warriors are led out, and succeed in locating the leader. Unfortunately, the warrior is fierce, and many more lizard lives are lost while taking the leader down than previously estimated. The sharks are ultimately subdued, at the cost of 87 lizard lives.

Scouts continue to explore the closeby lands, this time looking for practical resources.

The most intelligent minds come together, looking at two different dilemmas. First, they look for methods to purify the water streams coming inside the towns. They invent initiatives to prevent putrification of the water upstream, prohibiting defecation and the trampling of the stream by outside critters and citizens. They also run the stream over fine, polished rocks, filtering large debris from travelling with the water. The result increases the food stockpile and ultimate health of the citizens. The chief diplomats come together and compile a set of principles that diplomats may find useful in the future when meeting other foreign tribes and cultures. They gather this information from case studies of their own interactions, documenting the effectiveness of various methods, and how these methods effectiveness varies from the cultures being interacted and the nature of the relationship.

The king is surprised at the citizens' actions. It was not what he expected, but he is pleased nonetheless.

Time to move forward!

>Development
Since our food seems to be stagnated, I assume we must be consuming more or equal amounts to what we produce. It's paramount that we remedy this.
Seeing the strength the cyclops showcase in mining, perhaps we need similar raw strength helping us farm.
We must find beasts of burden. They may not be intelligent and friendly like our Allies, but they may still be tamed and be used for farming, or even other uses.
But for now:
Find animals for Animal Husbandry and thus improved farming.

>Development
On the other hand, as our population grows we hear reports of people using human feces as fertilizer. Indeed, this may be related to small outbreaks of disease. One of our patriarchs suggests that there is still an essence of man within that... shit. It's thus necessary that we let it 'rot away', much like you would a corpse, before using it as fertilizer.
Thus:
Develop Composting to boost fertilizer production.

>Action
For our soldiers are already many, we still need to scout the areas around Venia to make sure we are without any new threats. For that purpose we shall send a group of 10 scouts, followed by a support of 5 Toichon Spearmen omades (10-men battle groups), who are to provide security in case hostilities become inevitable.
tl;dr scout the neighboring zones to the Capital in all directions, with 10 fast moving scouts and 50 spearman as backup.

Development 1: With the rediscovery of rice we begin the development of large, floodable fields in which large quantities of this grain can be grown. These paddling fields or 'Paddy Fields' will allow us to grow very large quantities of this wonderful grain.
, but in order to control the amount of water that gets in to every field from our rivers we are also forced to: Development 2: develop irrigation systems. These large channels should allow the Orangutans of the Houranjhit Kingdom to get water to the fields for any crops that need more moisture, not just our rice.

Action: We send off a Diplomatic party with three diplomats and an bodyguard of 20 Spearmen to finally officially meet, and hopefully establish relations with, the Elephants. The dream would be to convince these scholarly warriors to join up with the society we hope to build, but good relations and trade possibilities would still be wonderful forward steps.

Development: Interrogate the Dwarves!

The Dwarves are brought back to Tearé with a guard of twenty Riders. There, under the careful eye of suspicious and curious locals and the eye of the clergy they are interrogated. The interrogation is not harsh or cruel, but it is straight forward. They wish to know where the Dwarves come from, who they are, what they are, and what they can do. In exchange for their aid, the clergy promises to release them to their kin should their kin be found when the Riders go looking for the Dwarven settlement they may have been captured from. Until then, the Dwarves are asked to pitch in to maintenance of the city, and to offer their talents to their hosts. They are not permitted to leave, and are carefully watched.

Development: Rider Tactics

The battle has shown the Illyandei that things which can fight back with bow and spear need different tactics than the hunt. The Riders practice with figuring out different effective methods of mounted combat and maneuver so casualties from a similarly mounted foe are not nearly as heavy.

Action: Hunt the Centaurs!

Tamar Naeldi takes sixty remaining riders and gives chase to the fleeing Centaurs. What was once a battle becomes a hunt, and the Illyandei are thrilled despite the long battle. The days and nights are filled with Elven hunting cries as they pursue the Centaurs. They are cautious, letting their foe be run into the ground instead of actively attempting to fight. This, hopefully, will prevent them from stumbling into an even larger force of Centaurs. Should the quarry be run to ground they will be captured and brought back to Tearé to be sacrificed.

The men would have to deal it would seem judging by the flirting that began to crisscross slowly between the two races. Jovial and friendly the attitude towards this kinda thing at least in sanctuary has always been lax.

>Dev action 1
Food and the production of it seems to be very stagnant. Reasonably so as we can handle all our needs so far. But nonetheless, ways to cultivate extra food must be done!

An idea of planting fruit trees in towns and cities to increase food available food is being proposed.

The question, of course, being what kinda fruit to plant.

>Dev action 2.
Tallspire due to its trade route with the dwarves is steadily finding ways to implement the new metal they have acquired. Copper, as it was apparently called, is now being used as bracing to allow for the construction of a grand tower in the center of town! Hoping to use it as a multipurpose building for commerce food storage and trading as well as living arrangements.

>Dev action 3.
Ways to transport goods over land have been harder than expected. Typically done with packs really but now it has proven inefficient. The proposal of a way to carry more goods via horseback or otherwise is being considered.

Either way a way to increase traveling speed for land commerce is needed.

The dwarves are interrogated, with success. They learn the dwarves were kidnapped from their home in the mountains east. They have a fortified city built into the mountains east. Once upon a time they were joyously mining and surviving underground and inside the mountain, but a treachorous monster had destroyed the underground trade roads, cutting off all the dwarven towns from each other. As a result, this dwarven commune had made the decision to try life at the surface, though with mild success -- they are constantly raided by centaurs, and are weak from bright sunlight. The dwarves are master at crafting and were once jolly folk, though their time ont he surface has sapped them of their joy. They are happy to be freed, but some feel as if one master has been traded for another. They will anyways comply to your maintenance demands.

The Illyandei continue to perfect their riding tactics, learning from their battle with the centaurs what their strengths and weaknesses were and how they could keep up and tackle them down as a result. A majority of the tactics include team effort of multiple fast and small riders, perfecting quick strikes and constant movement. Range and speed were key to winning over the centaurs.

The remaining centaurs may attempt to fleed, but the elves fail to let the escape with their lives. The hunting groups continue to give chase to the scoundrels, hoping that they would make fitting sacrifices to their goddess.

The lizards reorganize their society so that they all follow the word of the Dragon Mother, whose voice is spoken by the High Priest.

The lizards also construct massive aqueducts, helping supply water for the people and the crops in all the cities, massively increasing stockpile.

The scouts continue exploring the dirt island, now free as the sharks are all defeated.

With the rediscovery of rice, the Orangutans quickly erect massive paddy fields, helping the clever simians mass produce the miracle crop. Along with the development of the irrigation system, they are able to increase the stockpile of food incredibly.

They send a diplomatic mission to the elephants. Given their unique trait and studying of elephant histories and foreign diplomacy, they are able to establish amiable relations. Perhaps they can convince them to take it further?

Dark times ahead. We must prepare accordingly.
As we have the iron to make tools for our men, we must prepare an even grander force of Spearmen to defend our three settlements: as many spearmen as we can field all armed with iron weapons, and iron-reinforced shields.

>Development Action
Protection is necessary if we shall face a new threat. Our spearman don't have such high survivability, so we must find means to create an even heavier infantry division.
Look into ways to create tougher armor, made not of bone, wood or bronze, but of this tougher metal, Iron.

>Development Action
Based on our contests of athleticism, apply a similar logic to our own military. Trials of the Champions must be created, for Venia needs a hero. Nay, heroes. And thus we must find the toughest, most cunnin and awe-inspiring leaders to command our forces.

War drives invention that is true. But peace and love and friendship and the inquisitive nature of the plant people does as well. For a long while since the beginning in fact.

We have strived to be an inclusive society. We have a long and proud history. We have done much since our days off our home island.

Today with the help of the gnomes, the dwarves, and the satyrs we shall attempt to create a written language that can be understood and be complex enough to be used as a regional language to facilitate easy record keeping and allow for the history of all our peoples to be understood.

A written language for us all! Peace in our time! Understanding in our time!

Hail the dwarfs! Hail the gnomes! Hail the satyrs! Hail friendship!

>Dev action 2.
We wish to expand. To grow and learn more about ourselves and the world. Curiosity burns through us all and grins and smiles flash throughout the nation.

There is friendship. There were people who agreed with them. Peace was the way and it would be pursued.

We shall unify with our friends! All are welcome within our borders! Any are accepted and all may trade freely!

The free exchange of ideas and love and money and goods is essential. Trade had always been a facet of the people's lives. But now it was more inclusive and open than before.

The society of the plant people is evolving their ideals having been bolstered by the worlds kindness to them.


>Action 1.
We continue to prosper to grow. Today we approach our friends and give the idea of settling new land together! Of having a settlement comprising of us all. A sign of our friendship and cooperation.

The binding hand of friendship holding tight. Gesturing for us to head far to the south. To new lands to signify a great leap for us all!

( I guess we should also have Irrigation and Rice Paddies? Also, the elephants have been added to units - are they uprooting to come and live in our existing towns, or can we keep the Elephant town where it is as the town of Gajahdesh? Also, are those all the Elephants from the town in the unit, or just the mobilized ones? I'm good with either, just not sure what the situation is.)

There is a standing ovation as the chosen representatives of the Elephant Men enter the parliament of Houranjhit to take their seats, newly minted as citizens of the Houranjhit Kingdom.

Development 1) The realization that we had lost so valuable resources as rice and Soybeans though forgetfulness and the passage of years sets minds thinking. With the parliament convened, we work together to develop a common and mutually comprehensible writing system for our kingdom, so that knowledge may be kept, even beyond the passing of an individual.

Development 2) With a glut of food coming in from our newly irrigated bean-fields and our freshly flooded rice paddies, we develop new facilities to store these harvests and keep them relatively free from rot and vermin.

Action: We send scouts west from Gajahdesh to scout out the area beyond the fortified town of the Elephants.

Development: Dwarven Metalwork

The nomadic lifestyle of the Illyandei does not provide a very good environment for the sort of settlements needed to develop anything more than poor bronze. The Dwarves, with their expertise and civilization, have knowledge in the field that the Illyandei simply lack. They are put to work producing metal equipment for the various clans willing to trade their wares.

Development: Dwarven Mission

Some of the Dwarves are returned to their home with an escort of Elves. The offer presented to the Dwarven town is simple. The Illyandei demand tribute in the form of worked metal goods. In exchange, the Illyandei Tamar will protect Dwarven caravans and villages from attacks and likewise not attack the Dwarves or actively enslave them.

Action: Recruit Vica riders

The battle was costly for the Illyandei and many skilled warriors were killed in the battle. More warriors arise in time to take their place.

The Plant People celebrate peace, first by forming a written script that can be read and transcribed by all the races -- plant, dwarf, gnome, and satyr. The peoples of the country can now read and learn about one another through the unified script.

The Plant People abandon their previous classification of citizen and country, now adopting the framework of free trade and open borders. After all, why limit yourself into one tribe when there is strength in many? Their allies share their sentiment, all sending their own folk amongst one another's towns so that they can trade and live freely.

In order to pursue their expansive peace, the Plant People settle a new town together, beyond their borders to the south. The settlement invites all the allies to come together as one.

The Parliament celebrates the naturalization of the Elephant Men into the kingdom. They then come into order, declaring that a writing system must be established so that knowledge would not be lost in the future. Furthermore, since the rice and soybean crops are made it such bulk, it would be shameful to waste any of it. Plentiful storage is made to ensure that the crops would be within circulation, increasing both stockpile and helping increase the consumption.

They send scouts west from Gajahdesh, curious as to what may lie further.

The scouts run across a threat like no other they've faced before -- countless ratmen scurry about the hills and valleys between the twin rivers east! The scouts find themselves on top of a hill, looking down at the river at one moment, and then surrounded by rats the next, all of who ruthelssly attack and throw their lives away thoughtlessly, trying to push the scouts away. The few survivors notice that the eyes appear unnatural, green and glowing. It seems the hills are flooded with them, all the skaven living underground perhaps? The rats themselves are easy to deal with, but the problem lies in their numbers and refusal to give up. The scouts return to the Parliament with their report, advising further caution from exploring east. A shame as well, the river seemed to be prime real estate for agriculture...

The dwarves are put to work at once, prodded to help produce their metals for the clans. They begrudgingly do so, then a little more enthusiastically once they are returned to their town. The Dwarven leaders are at first reluctant to the elves demands, but seeing little benefit to refusing, they agree and comply. There were worse enemies than the elves, after all -- it would be stupid to try and depend on themselves.

The elves recruit several more riders, increasing their army count several times.

Action: Scout South

With the Centaur threat defeated and the Dwarves cowed into being a tributary the Illyandei again return to their nomadic ways. More Clans strike south where so many riches and glory have already been found. With Clan Naeldi humiliated after their failure to apprehend the remaining Centaur the favored Tamar position to the Goddess is again open. Many Tamar push their Clans hard to find the next source of the Goddess's favor.

Development: Dwarven Tribute

The clergy sets up a system of regular tribute in cash or metal tools and equipment from their Dwarven servants. The freedom provided in the system for the Dwarves to provide simply whatever they've decided to make helps with their potential irritation over needing to provide something at all. With praise for the most effective weapon or armor, thanks for cash, and wonder for new tools there is always some benefit to be had in providing for their very hands off masters.

Development: Saddle and Stirrups

A purely Illyandei innovation is that of the saddle and stirrups. These inventions make the rider significantly more stable on the back of the Vica, allowing for shock cavalry charges and steadier shooting from the saddle. It also improves the comfort of riding for their entire lives in the saddle and is rather popular across professions and ages.

The lizards improve their javelins, tempering them with sharp stones and thickening the shafts so they do not snap easily. They also discover alchemy, a result of experimenting with mixing crushed plants and seeds, along with other natural ingredients from plants, animals, and nature. The practice opens doors for new potions that may serve to help the lizards in a wide range of ways.

The high ranking military lizard trains the javelizards with the best aptitude for riding to fight on beetleback, splitting a core regiment of mounted lizards as a result.

The report from the scouts is troubling indeed, and the parliament agrees to heed this warning of caution around the southern rivers of the ratmen. That being said, we are aware of how limited our resources still are, and will need to try searching in other places.

Development 1) Now we have a system of writing, we need a medium good for storing our words. And since the only real resource we have to use is wood, we will have to try to use wood... but not the good bits of wood, which we need for boats and buildings and spearhafts. We try and develop some form of paper?

2) Reports of the frenzied attacks from the ratmen worry our military leaders. IF we face them again, we'll need a way to thin their numbers out from a distance before they can bring everything to bear and overwhelm us. We develop bows to give us some long-ranged warfare options.

Action: We send some scouts up the river from Houranjhit, this time staying with the main flow and heading towards the mountain the waters appear to flow down from. Hopefully we can find some resources close to the main water course - anything we find here, after all, should be easy enough to float back down river to the capitol.

Not the anon you are replying to, but why would anyone want to run a builder? To end up with the same circlejerk of people who do play them non-stop? Thanks, I'll pass
And the difference goes a bit deeper than what you've just described. Builders are first and foremost a math game. Proper calculation of everything is pretty much pre-requested to get shit done, even if you exclude dice out of it and base things on fluff. There is also lack of focus and any narrative other than purely for fun.
Civ games meanwhile focus first and foremost on development of events, with math either completely absend or fluffed-out, so a lot of things that would never fly in builder are bread and butter of civ games.
I think the best case study of this is the massive difference between Post Apo Civ Quest and Post Apo Builder. They've been done by corraboration of the same people, they share the rules as much as possible and there is theoretically a lot of over-lapping... but their similarities pretty much end on title and mutual acknowledgement.

The elves return with fewer numbers and lowered spirits. They have encountered another giant bird, but with little luck this time. Not only had the bird made off with some of the scouts themselves, but also competed with the hunters for big game in the wilds! The scouts know the general direction of the birds, but not the exact location, as the birds tend to fly above the clouds and at much faster speeds than the riders themselves.

The Venians prepare for war, first by throwing a large festival in honor of the gods, and celebrating the last day of the soldier's life in their comfortable homes before being sent off to war. They also take the time to establish a currency, although they already had one, so we'll just say they invented banks.

The threat is finally to be encountered. All the parties go forth into the great unknown, unwary of what they may face. The lead scouts are the first to notice the lone mountain, from where in a cave opening a puff of steam shoots out. The lizard sticks its head out, the front two limbs its wings and hind limbs its feet. The beast is horned and spits fire at a small range. It has a limp body in its mouth, gnawing on the steel plate greedily. The men are enraged, but they calm themselves, setting up camp at a distance away and reflecting on how best to tackle the foe.

The scouts begin to look once more, this time trying to scout closer to home and discover some valuable resources.

The orangutans begin to form paper from the wood they fall, helping to quickly reproduce written work. It beats the old fashioned method of writing into stone, or wood! Military leaders also help develop the creation of bows, recruiting a bowmen unit in the process.

How to beat a dargon?
Well first: we strike when it's inside the cave, it'll limit its flight.
Form a spear wall in there, that's deadly if it can't flank us at all.
If it manages to fly, or leave the cave, use javelins and aim for the wings.
If it tries to escape, reset the attack by creating an ambush (e.g. set a random carcass of a large animal up, and wait for it to set down for a chew when we strike).

Finally, since we have a blessing, it'll all be alright. We will be victorious, for our God is with us.


>Development action
Since we made banks, I figure this means we will need means of writing things down. Loans, stored wealth, etc.
So we must develop a way to do all this, in a more "durable" way.
Research... Writing/Alphabet.

>Development action
While we're on that, we need means of doing math necessary for all that. And surely this math will have other applications in the future!
So develop math?

I'm trying.

Development: Writing System

The city of Tearé acts as the administrative and political nucleus of the Illyandei people. Until exposure to the Dwarves the city was little more than a system of yurts and other small buildings that serviced as homes for a most sedentary artisan class making bows, arrowheads, and other essential items difficult to make on the move. Now, with Dwarven assistance, the city is starting to slowly change. The biggest change has come from the need to organize tribute and keep records of goods. The Elves adopted their own system of writing based on the Dwarven model and use it for basic clerical work and for recording the holy tenants laid down by the clergy.

Development: Herding

The growing population has required other innovations. As the clans move through the land they start bringing with them large numbers of other simple animals for food and clothing like goats and sheep.

Action: Capture the Rocs!

There is no prize, no source of glory, bigger than that of the Roc. The first kill catapulted the Naeldi into prominence. The Clan that brings in a live Roc, or more than one, will be legendary.

Development: Improved Boats

The Orangutans of Huanjhit have long plied along their river in simple boats, but these days it seems larger, better boats are being built to carry more for longer and to allow travel into deeper areas and further along the coast.

Development: Alchemic Knowledge

The Elephant men have long memories they use to store their knowledge of Alchemy, but now we have a written language. Some of the tfinest Alchemical minds among them spend time writing out as much of their knowledge they can in an explanatory fashion, so that other Elephants and their Orangutan brothers can learn form, and further, this knowledge in their turn.

Action: With better boatbuilding, we work on constructing a fishing fleet to claim the bounties of the deep!

(Also, did our explorers find anything last turrn?)

The Lizard military begins to train in the newly built compound, complete with barracks, training field, and a command center. The soldiers reap the benefits of discipline and improved skill from the organized training.

Sacrifices are offered to the Dragon Mother. The volume and significance is impressive enough to grant great power with their current spell! Spitfire II allows any lizard citizen to throw a fiery projectile from their mouths at longer distances than Spitfire I, which only allowed a short range spray. Spitfire III allows skilled lizards to stabilize fire projectiles they have coughed from their mouths, building it into larger fireballs, and throwing them to inflict maximum damage on a target!

Finally, Azuktin begins to instruct further training in alchemies, first allowing the creation of healing potions.

Turn 5(?) is now over, posting next turn!

In the kingdom of men, the Venians decide to develop and expand their writing abilities, so that mathematics and contracts may be preserved indefinitely.

The men march into war, hellbent on bringing down the scaly threat that crawls about in the mountain. They decide to force it inside its cave, eliminating its flight advantage, and use the javelins to pin its wings and then seriously damage it. May Venius be with them.

The army succeeds in trapping the beast inside the cave! The beast begins to puff smoke, but before it can charge out and attack scores of javelins fly and pin its wings, destroying its agility totally. The beast panics and rages, spewing smoke and fire in its radius. Sadly, some brave soldiers were burnt where they stood, but when the smoke cleared the dragon had drooped its head in a weakened state. One of the heroes had taken the opportunity to charge up and stab his spear straight into the beast's neck, fatally wounding the lizard. The dragon coughed once more, not fire but blood, and let out a death rattle before the life left its body.

The heroes all cheer in victory! Inside the lair, they confiscate the impressive hoard of gold. Atop the gold lies a giant egg, presumably belonging to the now slain dragon. The men whisper in fear and apprehension as to what to do with the egg, but one of the brave heroes calms down fears and takes the egg for himself, returning it to King Tullus until further instruction as to what to do would come.

The elves decide to improve its organizational capacity by introducing a writing system into its culture. They also discover the benefits of herding, capturing many local animals and herding them to the great benefit of the stockpile.

Hunting parties are sent out with a mission to either kill or capture a roc, all for the glory of the hunt!

Few hunters return with a dead roc, some not returning at all, and none returning with a live one. The one tribe that brought the bird back were mocked as fools, as the bird turned out to just be a very large eagle.

The plant people have due to universal education and an increase in the general intellect of those in sanctuary have begun a strange type of tree planting.

Hanging plants from trees and using both copper and stone manage to make pipes of a sort. Creating the first hanging irrigated water system!

>Dev Two

The increase in immigrants and the rapid adoption of so many. As well as the increase in technology and its general peace loving laid back approach. Has resulted in a desire for bigger families where smaller ones could only be supported before!

Big families are now seen as being encouraged by the population as a whole! A desire for more friends more love and more family!

Needless to say, birthrates are increasing rapidly. Species are being intermixed and all around the nation may find itself with quite a growing population.

>Action One

It had been noticed for a while that some sort of settlement seemed to be noticeable from our tower. Neighbours were in the area and they had to be met!

Immediately an expedition is ordered and dwarves satyrs gnomes and plant people band together holding trade goods eager to make friends with their newly discovered neighbors.

Development: Urbanization

The Illyandei have always been a nomadic culture first. Slowly, with influence from the dwarves, a new caste has begun to form in the city. Previously it had been inhabited on a temporary basis by clans moving through it or for Peace Month. Every tone a few people, mostly those deemed unsuited to the nomadic life have remained behind. There was no glory or opportunity then. Now the city expands, adding a primitive bureaucracy and an enlarged clergy to handle dwarf relations and internal affairs. For the first time sedentary production and habitation of Teare are legitimate options. While the majority of the population remain nomadic the growth of city population has become sustainable.

Development: Metal Weapons

The proliferation of Dwarven metalwork has led to the adoption of metal spearheads and arrowheads among the clans. It has also stimulated trade between dwarf, clan, and city.

Action: Continue the Hunt
More clans, seeing the glory in the Roc hunt, follow where others have failed. The status for capturing the Roc only grows with every failure.

Lizards work hard to discover some resource they can use to help develop their defensive capabilities. They dig deep into the earth to discover ores they can use to smelt and forge. Though there are some ores, the metals are much too soft to be used practically for defense. They would need to mine in rockier regions, such as a mountain, to uncover tougher metals.

The military meanwhile drills their lizards into using their spitfire in combat, while the civilians begin to use it in their daily lives. The goddess is pleased that her gift is being used with such fervor.
